Stage 4 Cancer Journey: Ex-Pro Footballer Turned Mastic Man | Tristan Sharp & Nick Thurston

Episode #003 | Tristan Sharp & Nick Thurston


Tristan & Nick have been good mates for a long time. We welcome them to have a fantastic laugh about their journeys through life & construction, especially Nick who took about 7 different routes before he got there! Which then sees us move onto present day, where Nick opens up freely & brutally honestly about life after being told he's been diagnosed with incurable colon cancer.
