WHAT MAKES YOU TICK
I’m Thommo — a cotton farmer, truckie, and storyteller from country NSW who loves digging into what drives people. On What Makes You Tick with Thommo, I sit down with mates, locals, and everyday legends to share memories, untold stories, and honest laughs. From the early days that shaped us to the moments that keep us moving, it’s all about finding out what really makes people tick.
Whether it’s yarns about growing up, wild nights at a B&S, life on the land, or the hustle of chasing dreams, this show is raw, real, and never short of heart.
So pull up a chair, crack a cold one, and join me each week as we find out… what makes you tick?
WHAT MAKES YOU TICK
Marko Marceta Part 1
In Part One, Thommo sits down with Marko, a former professional water polo player from Serbia who packed up his life and moved to Australia — with next to no research and a whole lot of guts.
Marko opens up about what life was really like growing up in Serbia — from getting the odd smack from teachers at school (which was still a thing back then), to growing up without screens or social media. It was the good old way: outside all day, playing basketball, hanging with mates, and always on the move.
They also chat about how Marko found his way into the world of professional water polo, and what it was like trading the courts and pools of Serbia for the open skies of Australia.
