About this episode

Phil Dixon discusses the creation of Walk It Off Australia and the importance of outdoor activities for mental health.

Phil Dixon is one of the co-founders of Walk It Off Australia, a grass-roots mental health organisation focused on building strong local communities and support networks for men and women across Australia through the simple act of getting outside for a walk and talk. Phil and Tony chat about the creation of Walk It Off, the benefits of spending time outside for mental health, the need for stronger communities, and Phil's passion for Ultra Trail Running.
