Today’s guest is Justin Huggett MG. Former Australian infantry soldier with 2nd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment. Fourteen years in uniform. Deployments across East Timor, Solomon Islands, and Afghanistan.
Awarded the Medal for Gallantry after leading a counter-attack under heavy Taliban fire, taking control of a chaotic ambush and turning the fight.
Since leaving the military, he has stepped into the fight on a different front. Veteran advocacy. Mental health. Calling out the system where it fails soldiers once the uniform comes off. And most recently, starting The Grumpy Grunt Podcast.
Soldier. Leader. Father. And someone who has seen both sides of service, on the battlefield and after it.
This is a conversation about war, identity, fatherhood, and what it actually costs to serve.
