  Episode 14 - Bro. B Kia Ora Welcome to my fourteenth episode on The Candid Kiwi. I'm excited to introduce you to my seventh guest ........ Brother Royce Baucke.  Bro. Baucke, or Bro. B as we used to call him at school, has lived a full, wonderful life. He tells all on this podcast with me, on an early Brisbane morning where he currently lives.  I got to know and love Bro. B when I went to CCNZ for my last year of high school. He was my art teacher and one of the best people I know in real life. His art room was a safe haven for many students. He's inspired almost all he's come in contact with and a lot of his students have gone on to be successful and creative people in their atmosphere's.

  Episode 13 - 1994 CCNZ Kia Ora Welcome to episode thirteen. Glad you've made it this far with me on my podcast adventure. In this episode I talk about one of the toughest yet rewarding years of my life. The year was 1994 and I was attending a brand new high school for my last year. It was filled with a few rough spots and I'll tell you about those and more. What I learned and gained from this year of hardship has helped form who I am for the future me. For that I'll always be grateful.  I think being resilient comes with going though tough trials and coming out the other end of them with more perspective and gratitude in your heart for what you gained. I have long forgiven the trials of that year but will forever be blessed with the people I met because of the year. They still bless my life to this day and for that reason alone, I'll forever be grateful for this year in my life, 1994. So come with me and learn a little more about my story. Until next time.......
