Bryce has been selling the mag for about three years at Parliament and at The Body Shop in Camberwell, Victoria.
How has selling The Big Issue helped you/changed your life?
I don’t know whether I can be this bold, but I think I’ve learnt more about people and relationships [by selling The Big Issue] than ever before.
What do you enjoy most about selling the mag?
I’d say, just meeting people. It’s like having a wonderful love affair with the public.
What has been the best thing that someone has said, or that has happened to you, while you have been selling the mag?
I had a lady the other day tell me I had a wonderful sense of fashion. And there is a customer who brings me apricot jam.
Have you been involved in any other programs of The Big Issue?
I did a video for TropFest.
How did you come to sell The Big Issue?
A few years earlier my wife had a brain operation. Then seven years ago I lost my son. About six years ago I had a heart attack. I wasn’t working at the time. I didn’t really understand anything about The Big Issue, but just thought I’d try it and it turned out to be a wonderful thing to do.
