Richard ‘Dick’ Gorman

Richard Gorman is a business owner based in Sydney, Australia.

Dick had nine lives even before the prostate cancer. He’s worked in advertising, and as a taxi driver, a courier with Contiki through Europe and ran boat charters in the south of France. He spent three years as a stand-up comedian, performing at the Comedy Stores in London and in Hollywood.

Around that time he started a finance business out of a terrace in Sydney’s Surry Hills. From humble beginnings Dick has built what is now Australia's largest provider of pharmacy funding.

Outside of that, he's an avid golfer and walker, has climbed Kilimanjaro, has a son and a daughter and splits his time between Sydney and Tasmania with his partner, Dr Rybak.

Dick met Steve initially in a business capacity, but the two have now been mates for too many years to mention.

At 54, Dick was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Now 18 years on and in good health, that experience sits at the heart of why he's co-hosting this podcast.

Dr Stephen Van Mil is a Veterinary Surgeon, conservationist and filmmaker.

Throughout his career he has appeared countless times on television, radio and print media. His work has taken him through multiple countries around the world, including leading numerous ecotours in Borneo, Africa and the Amazon. Stephen has walked the Kokoda Track twice.

In 2020, Stephen created Wildlife Recovery Australia which has grown rapidly to provide wildlife hospitals and sanctuaries throughout Australia, a new Veterinary Faculty with Southern Cross University, and numerous partnerships with other NGO’s and corporates.

Stephen enjoys live music events, hiking, travel, reading and is a sports nut with cricket, rugby and horseracing his passions. He prizes quality time with his son and daughter.

Dick Gorman has been a great mate and sparring-partner for 3 decades. Dick thinks he’s funny.

Stephen still has a prostate.
