Episode 4 The Strength of Family and Living in The Moment

In this episode of Dad Havin’ A Crack, I sit down with Joel Gniel to dive into the moments that have shaped his life and family. Joel shares what life looked like before meeting his wife Kate in Bali, and how that chance encounter set him on a new path. We talk about his time living in Adelaide and the move back to Melbourne, his love for sport and the Collingwood Football Club, and how music has been a constant thread in his journey. But it’s not all about passion and pastimes — Joel also opens up about a powerful, life-changing moment that tested and strengthened his family in ways that will stay with them forever. This conversation is about presence, resilience, and finding joy in the now — even when life throws challenges your way. 👉 Tune in to hear Joel’s story of family, passion, and what it truly means to live in the moment. 💜 If this episode resonates with you, we’d love for you to support causes close to Joel and Kate’s heart.
