Blokes In Mining Podcast
Raw, real yarns from the Mining & FIFO front line. Hosted by Drew & Dave—talking mining life, money, mental health, and mateship.
Blokes in Mining is a no-filter, straight-talking podcast for FIFO workers and mining legends who want real talk, a laugh, and practical insight into money, mental health, mateship, and life on-site. Hosted by Drew—miner, ex-cop, financial planner, and all-round top bloke—and his FIFO mate Dave, the show is raw, relatable, and built for anyone connected to the mining game. It’s the kind of honest yarn you’d have over a beer after a long swing—covering everything from financial smarts to site struggles, sport, family life, and the best stitch-ups from the mines.

From the boxing ring to the stage — this week we sit down with Gavin Topp, former professional boxer turned motivational speaker, for an honest conversation about what it really means to be a bloke in today's world.
Gavin opens up about his boxing career, the highs, the hits, and what life looked like when the gloves came off. We get into the heavy stuff too — lost masculinity, mental health battles, and the moments that brought him to his knees before he found his purpose.
This one's raw, real, and exactly the kind of conversation blokes in the mining industry need to hear. Whether you're doing it tough on site or just trying to figure out who you are outside of the job, Gavin's story and purpose will hit home.
