Troy was told he'd never work again, never ride again, and never lift more than two kilos. Then, his brother died. Still part of an Outlaw Motorcycle Club, Troy hit rock bottom but what came next will inspire you.

In this heartfelt conversation, Justine Martin explores Troy’s resilience journey: how a psychologist, a pair of socks, and an unlikely support system helped him face his demons, find purpose, and rewrite his future.
