You know the name from footy — Origin, NRL, Super League. But what you probably didn’t know is Danny Nutley spent 15 years in mining after footy, running crews, learning gear, and leading from the front.

In this ep, he spills on:

  • How he landed his first mining job (the interview was wild)
  • Shitting himself the first time he dropped a dozer over a dragline bench
  • What makes a good boss on-site (hint: it ain’t the loudest bloke)
  • Mental health, getting diagnosed with cancer, and why blokes need to speak up
  • Building solid crews, calling out BS, and looking after your people

This is Part 1 of Nutley’s yarn.
Part 2 drops in 2 weeks — and yeah, there’s a wild Alfie Langer story you’ve never heard before.
