Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description
When Jayden Sheridan was 17, he received a life-changing call from his girlfriend: "shape up or ship out".
Jayden was about to become a dad — but spent much of his youth selling and using drugs and drinking.
So he made a choice: he pledged to become the role model he never had.
Gnarly Neighbours — the group he founded — offers free skateboard lessons and workshops in his regional Victorian town, fostering community and connection.
Guest: Jayden Sheridan, founder of Gnarly Neighbours
