Dan Rankin (aka Trials)

And I didn't want to give them

The fractured learning that I had with a few words sparingly that I know, and I wanted to be able to be that resource for them big time.

How did you do that?

How did you reach out to them?

I started doing courses, lessons, as tertiary as it gets, to try and understand my culture and where I'm from.

And that was a big thing for me to try and undertake myself, you know?

It was a thing to not be scared of and just to understand that I have to be able to show the cool side of this and make it a nice, normal thing.

They're so talented.

They are not going to struggle for much.

And as we were saying earlier, sometimes I think about sprinkling a little bit of struggle over there just to give them some reality.

But it's easier this way.

I love the fact that they have no idea or concept of what a struggle is at the moment.
