About this episode

In this episode, Jesse Hobson interviews Tarsh, an Army Reserve veteran who shares her inspiring journey of community service after her military career.

Episode 115 and I’m joined by Tarsh. Tarsh is an Army Reserve veteran who’ll tell you she “just did bits and pieces” during her service but what she’s done after taking the uniform off is something pretty special. After volunteering with the Sleepbus helping people doing it tough, Tarsh and seven others refused to let the mission die when the organisation folded. No experience running a charity. No roadmap. No huge backing. Just a whole lotta heart and a belief that people still needed help. Out of that chaos came The Z Bus. Today we hear the origin story behind a group of everyday people who stepped up when it mattered most — and continue showing up for their community every single day. Big episode. Big heart.
