He’s been first on scene for some of the toughest days imaginable, from drownings and suicides to pulling dads from house fires. But he’s also turning tragedy into impact, teaching thousands of kids how to survive their worst day.

🔥 Here’s what’s inside:

How Maxie became Australia’s most recognised lifeguard
Rescues that went sideways and ones that changed lives
Behind the scenes of the fireys: what most people never see
The truth about mental toll, team culture, and showing up under pressure
