In this episode I got to sit down with an old friend of mine, Michael Grocholsky. I first met Michael at the Actors Pulse while we were both training in Acting. Michael is an Actor, producer & the co-founder of Leche Productions.

Michael embarked on a life changing trip around the world lasting several years, from Trekking mountains in South America, to learning Spanish, surfing and free diving in Ecuador and the Galapagos islands, then camping out in the wilds of Africa Michael finally landed in London where is began his professional actor training.

Since returning to Sydney Michael has appeared in both ABC TV Series Pulse and Diary of an Uber driver as well as several award winning Independent feature films including the lead role in the Cannes film festival cult thriller "Emmanuel" opposite Luke Ford.
