🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Matt Williams — an independent war reporter, ex-military veteran, and one of the few Australians who’s seen the frontlines of modern conflict up close.

Matt has reported from Ukraine during the Russia–Ukraine war, from Israel during the Hamas conflict, and served as a soldier in Afghanistan. His experience gives him a unique perspective on chaos, leadership, and what war really means — not just for those fighting it, but for nations watching from afar.

From the battlefields overseas to the state of Australia today, Matt brings sharp insights, hard truths, and a soldier’s eye for reality.

We dive into:
🌍 Life as an independent war reporter — Ukraine, Israel, and beyond
⚔️ The lessons from Afghanistan & seeing war from both sides
🇦🇺 The state of Australia — housing, cost of living & leadership failures
📰 Media spin, censorship & why truth is always the first casualty
⚡ The Charlie Kirk assassination and the future of democracy

This is a raw, unfiltered conversation with someone who’s lived what most of us only see on the news.
