TIACS is a professional mental health counselling service for tradies, truckies, farmers and blue collar workers.

Founders of Trademutt & TIACS, Trademutt successfully launching their social enterprise workwear company TradeMutt, founders Ed and Dan saw a great need to remove the barriers that prevented hard working Australians from accessing professional mental health counselling, which now Jason is the CO CEO of TIACS.

Trademutt was founded by Ed Ross and Dan Allen TradeMutt came about in the confusing but reflective period following what happened in 2015. We are an Australian Workwear brand that aims to make tradies and workers of all kinds look and feel great at work, and in doing so, reduce the rate of blue collar suicide in Australia. Our loud and vibrant shirts act as a catalyst to starting the conversation around mental health in men, a topic that has been hard to approach in the past for blokes, mostly due to the attached stigmas and perceived weakness.

TIACS removes the physical and financial barriers to accessing help through a simple text and call service directly to professional counsellors..

On today's episode we discussed TIACS mission aswell as Trademutts to make a positive impact on Mental Health within Australia.

TIACS & Trademutt have recently teamed up with Bunnings which Jason talks about in depth.

On today's episode we're joined by Jim Penman.

Jim Penman is an author, mentor, speaker, and businessman. Known as one of Australia’s most iconic entrepreneurs, he started a side gardening job with $24—a side job that eventually evolved into Jim’s Group, the biggest lawn mowing company worldwide and the largest franchise business in the southern hemisphere with over 40 divisions and more than 5,000 franchisees.

A graduate from the prestigious La Trobe University, where he received a PhD in history, Dr. Penman has also written numerous books on the cultural and economic decline that threaten many parts of the world.

He spends millions of dollars annually on research to improve human life all over the world.

Jim is the Author of the following books:

Epigenetics & CharacterIn ‘Epigenetics and Character’, Dr Jim Penman details a revolutionary new theory about why societies prosper and why they decline. He shows how history is driven by changes in the character of ordinary people, rather than by economic and political forces or by the actions of leaders. The key to all this is epigenetics, the study of how the environment affects our genes. Dr Penman draws on history, biology, anthropology and economics to explain the real drivers of social change, and how evolutionary mechanisms designed to adapt animal social behaviour to changing food conditions shape human history.

BIOHISTORY ACADEMIC VERSION: Biohistory is a revolutionary new theory that explores the biological and behavioural underpinnings of social change, including the rise and fall of civilisations. Informed by significant research into the physiological basis of behaviour conducted by author Dr Jim Penman and a team of scientists at RMIT University and the Florey Institute in Melbourne, Australia, Biohistory examines how a complex interplay between culture and biology has shaped civilisations from the Roman Empire to the modern West

EVERY CUSTOMER A FAN

This is the story of Jim’s Group, as told by the founder. An account of how a $24 business became one of the world’s largest franchise chains, with over 3800 Franchisees (and rising). It is an unusually frank and honest account, showing the human weaknesses and mistakes as well as the successes.
