About this episode

On this special episode of The Wellness Daily Show, produced in partnership with Run Rocket Run, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Run Rocket Run founder Rodney Cottam about his life and journey, his organisation's partnership with Invictus Australia, and his campaign to promote physical and mental resilience.

Mr Cottam speaks to Mr Doraisamy about his military background and the perspective he gained from such experiences, the hardship he has overcome following a motor vehicle accident, the toll such times took on him and the lessons he learnt, and what professionals of all stripes can take away from his journey.

He also discusses the importance of community, how and why he founded Run Rocket Run, what it aims to achieve and the various campaigns he is undertaking, why he partnered with Invictus Australia, why running is such an uplifting activity for him, and how everyone can support his advocacy.
