Well, it's been nearly 9 months... but the Friendly Aussie Podcast is finally BACK!
To commemorate this exciting occasion, the folks at FAB sat down for an in-depth discussion and interview with David Madigan and Neil Helsby - the co-founders of medicinal cannabis clinic Canwell and cannabis oil company Elevated Extracts.
As insiders of the burgeoning Australian cannabis industry, David and Neil both have unique backstories. With David coming from the world of events and marketing - having once worked for Red Bull - and Neil working for years at Queensland Health, the two couldn't come from more different industries.
Yet, that basic fact hasn't stopped them from coming together to achieve remarkable successes in the field of treating regular people with medical cannabis - if anything, it's brought them together to apply their respective strengths on a project much bigger than them as individuals.
After being profoundly inspired by the beginnings of legalisation in the United States, the two friends and business partners have taken it on as their mission to contribute to the fledgling Australian medical cannabis industry with high quality, accessible products and services.
They pounced at the opportunity to get involved in something they both loved - bud - at the instant it was legalised medicinally... and they haven't looked back since. With David's expertise in communications and Neil's specialisation in the nitty-gritty details of healthcare, the peculiar pair have proven to be highly complementary, which has helped them to build two amazing businesses that regularly change the lives of their patients.
Their M.O. is simple - make cannabis accessible to as many people who need it as possible. This is why they both set out to construct a crack team of doctors, nurses and specialists - to make that aim a reality.
We were completely captivated in our chat with these guys - it's so interesting to hear the perspective of people who are working on the ground to make a real positive difference to the lives of so many patients. We hope you have as much fun listening as we did yarning with these two standout blokes!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
