More than you'd think. In this episode, Melanie sits down with Julian Maliszewski — personal development coach, former teacher, lacrosse athlete, paintball industry veteran, and founder of T2F Coaching. Julian's life has been anything but conventional: he's lived across the world, played lacrosse internationally, spent decades in the paintball industry, studied philosophy and religious studies, and now channels all of it into helping people get over their mental hurdles. Julian is also a proud supporter of Paintball for Purpose, a not-for-profit organisation connecting veterans with mental health resources, community, and support.
