Mandy Gibbons Podcast Show... 🏆🔥 GUEST: Aaron Schultz

Founder of The Outback Mind Foundation, Aaron Schultz, is a strong advocate for a preventative approach to men’s health.

Having overcome his own period of huge self-doubt, crippling anxiety and poor lifestyle behaviours caused by overwork and burnout, Aaron managed to turn his weakness into his strength, becoming a teacher of meditation, yoga and anxiety management education.

Aaron now has over 7,000 practical teaching hours, and is the driving force behind establishing The Outback Mind Foundation in regional Queensland, and now it’s expansion throughout regional Australia.

You can read more about Aaron’s journey through his book A Wink from A Guru, forwarded by AFL great Paul Roos.

Aaron is also the host of Outback Mind Podcast.
