LiSTNR and Australian logistics and supply chain organisation Linfox have partnered to launch The Driver’s Seat with actor, comedian and former accountant Dilruk Jayasinha.
In the podcast, host Jayasinha looks at what it means to live your best life – mental health, physical health, and everything that comes along with them.
Over the 10 episodes, Jayasinha will interview special guests, including 2Day FM Breakfast announcer Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes, former Australian cricketer Brad Hodge, Luke Darcy from the LiSTNR Empowering Leaders podcast, Scott Phillips from LiSTNR’s Motley Fool podcast and technology expert Trevor Long, among others.
Linfox Logistics CEO ANZ, Mark Mazurek, said: “At Linfox, we are always looking for ways to support the health and wellbeing of our team. Given the amount of time they spend on the road, it is not always easy to reach our drivers with traditional communications.
“With this in mind, we decided to try a new approach and produce a podcast called The Driver’s Seat, which brings real, honest conversations about physical and mental wellbeing direct to our teams, no matter where they are in Australia or New Zealand.
“Produced by LiSTNR, our host Dilruk Jayasinha has done a fantastic job at interviewing a stellar guest line-up that we believe will appeal to drivers and the people that support them not just at Linfox but across our industry as a whole. We look forward to sharing the podcast with the broader public and hope that it will have a positive impact on anyone wanting to live a healthier, happier life.”
LiSTNR senior executive producer Branded Podcasts, Todd Stevens, said: “I think that The Driver’s Seat podcast is best described as ‘wellbeing without the wind-chimes’, and mental health advocate and comedian Dilruk Jayasinha was a perfect choice to host this down to earth series.
“He changed the direction of his own life by quitting drinking and losing more than 30 kilos, and Dilruk’s humble nature and real passion for helping others balances perfectly with his comedic look at life in every episode. Linfox is a well-known health and wellbeing advocate with its ‘Healthy Fox’ health and wellbeing program and The Driver’s Seat is the perfect way to connect with its drivers and the broader community.”
