  • The Pavers We Lay Down: Nick Crott on Mentoring, Community & Belonging for Teenagers

    The Pavers We Lay Down: Nick Crott on Mentoring, Community & Belonging for Teenagers
    Oct 28 2026
    The pavers we lay downNick grew up with every external advantage, loving parents, good school, material security, but turned parental encouragement into internal pressure and guilt. He struggled with bullying and didn't have space to name his struggle without feeling ungrateful. Years later, reflecting on his own childhood and a chance mentoring moment with a student, he realized what he'd needed: not fixing or diagnosis, but a trusted person to move through life alongside him. He founded Pave to offer exactly that to teenagers navigating identity, belonging, and the gap between who they are and who they think they should be. Now he's building a model that combines physical activity, intentional habit-building, and genuine vulnerability to help young people discover their own capability.Nick Crott is a 27-year-old mentor and founder of Pave Mentoring, a social enterprise that works with young people through side-by-side activities and intentional guidance. Raised on Sydney's Northern Beaches, he moved from primary school teaching and associate therapy work into mentoring after recognizing the gap between formal support and the informal spaces where real growth happens.In this Kintsugi Heroes conversation with John Milham, Nick shares the story behind the moments below.🎙️ IN THIS CONVERSATION:• Privilege can silence struggle.• Mentoring is not fixing.• Identity and behavior are separate.• Vulnerability compounds when modeled.• Physical experience teaches mental truth.• Connection is not a luxury.• Third spaces need intentional design.🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 Growing up privileged, silent07:03 The gap between support and safety12:15 A teacher who separated behavior from identity15:38 From struggle to purpose20:55 What mentoring actually looks like25:22 Vulnerability as courage39:27 Who can be a mentee46:55 The gym as proof of capability52:23 Barriers: comparison and screens56:21 Third spaces and community change1:03:18 Friendship as foundation1:06:26 How to find Pave🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode.💬 Tell us what this conversation meant to you.

  • From the Woodshed to the Pool: Sam Reid on Grief, Loss of a Brother and Building a Life

    From the Woodshed to the Pool: Sam Reid on Grief, Loss of a Brother and Building a Life
    Oct 27 2026
    From the woodshed to the pool ⚠️ Content advisory: this episode discusses abuse & exploitation, grief & loss and trauma & healing, which some listeners may find distressing. If you need support, you're not alone. Help is available:• Blue Knot Foundation (complex trauma): 1300 657 380 · blueknot.org.au• 1800RESPECT (family, domestic & sexual violence): 1800 737 732 · 1800respect.org.au• Lifeline (24/7 crisis support): 13 11 14 · lifeline.org.au• GriefLine: 1300 845 745 · griefline.org.au Sam Reid found his father hanging in a woodshed when he was six. His mother died two years later. Without the intervention of his older sister and brother-in-law, he would have ended up in the state system. At 15 he took a labouring job to feed his siblings. By the year 2000 he was standing poolside at the Sydney Olympics as a safety manager when Ian Thorpe won his first gold medal. What he didn't tell himself at 15 was possible became real through choice, mentorship and refusal to repeat the violence and alcoholism he witnessed. He has since lost his brother, nephew and son to suicide, experienced bankruptcy, and held the bodies of young men crushed on construction sites. He channels that weight into teaching other men that it is safe to speak, to ask for help, and to choose a different path than the one their circumstances predict. Sam Reid is head of safety, quality and compliance at Paynter Dixon, one of Australia's largest construction firms. Raised in rural New Zealand by his sister after losing both parents by age eight, he came to Australia at 22 with his wife, a six-month-old son and $500. Over four decades he has rebuilt his life through work, family and a willingness to speak openly about grief, suicide, mental illness and loss. In this Kintsugi Heroes conversation with John Milham, Sam shares the story behind the moments below. 🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 Finding his father in the woodshed04:35 A family of ten without parents11:35 His father's violence, his mother's death15:11 Coming to Australia with $50024:01 Leaving the gangs behind, building a career38:32 Teaching his children and grandchildren46:01 His son's mental illness and the system's silence52:16 Rising to safety leadership in construction55:19 Bankruptcy and the choice to stay1:07:00 The death of his son1:12:52 His legacy: mentorship and speaking from the heart1:15:12 Closing 🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode. 💬 Tell us what this conversation meant to you.

    My Mum Chased Me From Hell Back to Earth: Samuel Reve
    Oct 26 2026
    My mom chased me from hell back to earth⚠️ Content advisory: this episode discusses abuse & exploitation, grief & loss and trauma & healing, which some listeners may find distressing.If you need support, you're not alone.

The quiet safety disoriented him at first, but he adapted fast. He moved to Melbourne as a young adult, where he initially drifted into substance use and confusion. Around age 26, exhausted and broken, he picked up The Law of Attraction while walking home from a bender. That moment catalysed a complete shift: he went cold turkey, set goals, started a cleaning business, and rebuilt his sense of purpose. His mother's relentless support throughout everything taught him that wherever he fell, someone would reach for him. Now he works supporting people with disability, mentors young men, and is driven by gratitude to his parents and a vision of giving back to both his community in Australia and his family in Sudan.Samuel Reve came to Australia as a refugee from Sudan at age 10, escaping civil war. After arriving in Tasmania, he rebuilt his life across Australia, but spent his twenties struggling with drugs and drinking before discovering discipline and purpose. Today he works as an NDIS support coordinator and is building community programs to help young people from African backgrounds.🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 From Sudan to Tasmania, a family's choice05:18 Landing in a different world09:15 School under siege, learning to hide15:37 Being the token African in Tasmania17:45 Moving to Melbourne, discovering hustle26:36 Energy in, energy out, a simple formula35:25 Bridging two worlds, African family in Australia42:00 Serving others through NDIS work46:56 The mother who chased him back from hell51:29 Young men in crisis, where the mentors went57:29 Comparison, cleanliness, and the room that matters59:00 A farm, a team, gratitude, and giving back🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode.💬 Tell us what this conversation meant to you.
