Alpha Blokes Podcast
Ep. 296 - The Quinnterview
Season 4, Ep. 97
•
Producer and editor of the show, massive nerd and the guy with the iron chin, Quinn Jackson, jumps across his desk and joins the boys on the couch to get interviewed for his guest episode. Quinn takes us through his childhood, growing up in the country town of Howlong, being an introverted child and going against the grain of rural living by being invested in an academic path instead of a sporting one. Quinn takes us through the transitional period of moving to Central Queensland to go to high school, being on the debating team and then getting his foot in the door in the hospitality scene after school, leading to experiences such as working in Mount Isa during the rodeo and witnessing Fred Brophy's for the first time. Quinn runs us through the lows he's experienced as well, including battling with the loss of a best mate and what it taught him to then the rollercoaster that was sending the email to Tom and Cam for the job. To wrap up, we cover the original call out that sparked the Podcast Royale, some of Quinn's media interests, starting a 3D printing business with his best mate and wrap up with a couple of ripper yarns from his life before sending it into the guest questions. Hope you enjoy trendsetters!
Big thankyou to Bec for taking over the desk for this episode.

We touch on some of Brett's best recipes not only in BBQ, but in Pizza and other sides to compliment every Blokes Sunday tradition of getting into their work on the smoker, oven or grill. Brett took the time to cook with us on the day using a couple of exciting rubs that we have in the works together, Daddy's Dust and Red Dirt, which we discuss on the show in depth before wrapping up with the guest questions. One of the nicest and most genuine blokes we've met who is incredibly passionate about his business.
