Game Changers in conversation with TradeMutt

Best mates Daniel Allen and Ed Ross are two carpenters by trade who met on a Brisbane building site in 2014. After Daniel tragically lost a close mate to suicide in 2015, the two tradies identified that conversations about mental health were often avoided.

In 2018, the boys launched TradeMutt, a social enterprise workwear company by tradies for tradies. Their funky workwear was designed to take a more fun, light-hearted and colourful approach to normalising mental health conversations on a daily basis.

Hear from Daniel and Ed as they share their story of developing a social impact venture and be inspired by them to look at your own positive conversations and contributions.

The conversation will be facilitated by Dr Ruth Knight  (Yalari & QUT)
