David Pierce Part 1: The importance of having a good role model.

G’day mates, in this week’s episode, Narrabri High School Student Kate Weekes chats with local legend David Pierce.

David is a bit of a celebrity around the Narrabri region. For years he ran a contemporary fashion store called Authentic Trademarks which brought a taste of city and surf fashion to the main street of Narrabri and offered a whole new retail and life experience for country kids.

David now works at the Narrabri High School and has mentored generations of Narrabri locals, giving them the courage and confidence to believe in themselves and chase their dreams. David had so much insightful wisdom for our listeners, that we had to split this interview across two great episodes to make sure we could jam all his incredible advice and take-home messages in. Listen now to part one, and if you (like us) can’t get enough of David Pierce make sure you tune in for part two next week.
