It’s 1994. Junior lawyer, Vince Osbourne, leaves behind a small, mean and viciously circular life in the city representing petty criminals and takes to the road. He’s lived 30 years. The wide continent of Australia is out in front. He’s almost young. Where will the road lead? East takes in sunsets; rain in the desert; a five-year-old girl on a bike; a battered former thief and jockey; old-timers; young lovers; beautiful women, and aboriginals in public bars. The open road connects many vignettes making a rich tapestry of human encounters. East is poignant, gritty, funny, sad and above all: human.

In his interview, he encourages listeners to "enjoy the journey moment by moment as it is more about the journey than the destination."

You will not want to miss this interview. Tommy's story made such a huge impact on me that I had to sit and ponder it at great length.  It will affect you in ways you did not think possible -- I guarantee you will enjoy it immensely.

He is the lead teaching minister for the Unus Solutions initiative, True River Ministries.

Tommy's story will make you stop......and think

THAT IS QUITE THE INTRODUCTION -- but don't let it fool you.  In addition to his list of credentials, Tommy is a humble, warm and caring individual who pours into people with passion, to give him the power to influence them in areas of self-development.

Tommy was a young man who excelled in everything he did.  His superior intelligence produced negativity which meant he had to work at being average to be liked - rather than hated - for both his scholastic and sports performance.

He opened this interviewer's eyes about racial profiling.  I will never be the same as a result of these insights.
