In 2014, Joel Sardi was a 22-year-old rifleman with the Australian Army and in August of that year, he was back home after an eight-month deployment in Afghanistan. He was catching up with friends when he fell three metres over a railing and broke his neck. It's fair to say that the last nine years have been something of a rollercoaster of peaks and troughs but the bloke I spoke with in this episode, reminded me that there is 'the objective reality' (in Joel's case, quadriplegia) and then there's 'our subjective reality; the way we think, respond, create, choose, interact, communicate, plan, work, live and love. Joel was brutally honest, raw, real and funny in this chat and I loved it.
