In this episode, we sit down with Bendigo’s own Damien “Locky” Lock — a bloke who’s lived a few lives. From pulling on the navy blue for Carlton, to dominating country footy back home, to stepping into the boxing ring and now mentoring others — his story’s full of grit, growth, and a fair bit of fun along the way.

We dive into:
– Growing up in a hard-working family and what shaped his edge
– The jump from local footy to Carlton — and the lessons that came when it ended
– Life back in Bendigo and the 2008 grand final that became local legend
– The party years and the turning point that made him change gears
– Boxing, balance, and building something of his own with DL Boxing & Fitness
– Fatherhood, perspective, and why his kids became the reason behind everything

It’s a conversation about owning your story — the good, the bad, and the in-between — and finding peace on the other side of chaos.

Quote of the episode:
“If I could be half the man that Damien Lock is, I’d be a happy man.”
