About this episode

Franckiie shares his powerful story of resilience and growth after overcoming personal hardships and finding purpose in the ADF.

Episode 107 and I’m joined by Taula Daure, better known as Franckiie. Born in Papua New Guinea and raised through hardship after losing his mum at just 4, Franckiie grew up without his dad, before reconnecting with him later in life, a powerful full-circle moment. Moving to Australia in 2005, he faced setbacks and tough moments, but he didn’t let them define him. He reset, he refocused and he found purpose in the ADF. Enlisting in 2012 as a Recovery Mechanic, Franckiie became part of the backbone that keeps everything moving. After a medical discharge, he continued giving back through defence contracting and instruction, now settled on the Sunshine Coast. A powerful story of resilience, growth, and reconnecting.
