Planting Seeds with Soul

Show Notes

It was an absolute honour having Zac Swanton on the podcast. Thanks for making the trip down from the Sunny Coast brother. I’m proud to see you doing great things and I wish you nothing but the best on your journey. The only way you can fail is if you give up, so don’t. Embrace the hard times, let them build you, and know that I’ll always be here if you need.

In this raw and powerful episode of Planting Seeds with Soul, Zac opens up about addiction, psychosis, fatherhood, breaking generational trauma, and the road to self redemption. We talk about stepping into purpose, building character through pain, what it means to leave behind a real legacy, and how life’s hardest challenges are often our greatest teachers. From the chaos of drug fuelled days to finding peace, meaning, and strength in recovery, this is one hell of a journey you don’t want to miss.

We cover addiction, recovery, self discovery, facing fear, finding purpose, building character through life’s challenges, fatherhood, breaking cycles, leaving behind a legacy that matters, spiritual awakening in the storm, and the power of truth, love, and not giving up. Tap in, share it with someone who needs to hear this, and let’s keep planting those seeds.

Back into full time construction now so time’s a bit limited. These descriptions can suck up more energy than the podcast itself, so I’m keeping them simple from here.

Watene sat down with me and opened the door to parts of his life that most people would rather keep locked away. We spoke about a childhood shaped by chaos, a rough upbringing, gangs, anger, violence, addiction, and the kind of environments that can either swallow you whole or forge something powerful inside you.

The eldest stepping into high school. A threshold. The end of a season. The quiet grief and beauty that comes with watching your kids grow and something familiar slowly fall away.
