Today\u2019s guest is a man who has taken a life of service and turned it into something truly special. Barry Randall is a current serving Victoria Police Officer with over 32 years of service, having seen the job from the frontline. Barry knows exactly what it means to carry the weight that comes with it\u2014the pressure, the trauma, and the quiet battles that follow you home. But instead of walking away from it, Barry leaned in. He\u2019s the driving force behind the program Operation Soul Surf \u2014a grassroots movement using the power of the ocean to help veterans, first responders, and anyone doing it tough find a bit of peace again. It\u2019s about saltwater therapy, connection, and reminding people they\u2019re not alone. This is a chat about service beyond the badge, about healing, and about finding purpose in helping others stand back up. Last year, in 2025, Barry won the Rotary Emergency Services Officer of the Year award. This is a raw and honest chat about serving on the frontline and the cost of protecting the community. Barry, welcome to True Blue Conversations.
