In this episode of D&M's with DEAN, we sit down with Blair Rubock, a 24-year-old Gold Coast local who's making waves both online and in his community. By day, Blair works a regular job and plays football on the weekends, but his passion project has recently brought him into the spotlight.

These raw and honest conversations resonated deeply, catapulting Blair's social media following to 38k in just a few months.
In our conversation, Blair shares his journey, the inspiration behind his beachside chats, and his plans to expand to new locations, continuing to create spaces for connection and vulnerability. This episode is a testament to the power of genuine human connection and the impact one person can make in their community.
