In this heartwarming and powerful episode of The Glitter Effect, host Kate welcomes Simon Braun — better known as Simmo — the unstoppable force behind The Bloody Good Tour. Simmo is a passionate storyteller and community champion on a mission to save 100,000 lives and boost the well-being of Aussies everywhere, one blood donation and one heartfelt connection at a time.
After facing personal upheaval — becoming a single dad of three and navigating an emotional breakdown — Simmo transformed his pain into purpose. Packing his kids into a caravan, he’s journeyed across Australia, visiting over 75 Lifeblood donor centres and inspiring thousands to rediscover the joy of giving back.
Through raw honesty, resilience, and community spirit, this episode explores how vulnerability can forge deeper bonds, and how one man is building a legacy of kindness and connection.
