From child phenom to the most successful Australian snowboarder of all time, Scotty James’ ascent has been nothing short of magical.

Scotty is a triple Winter Olympian (he won bronze in Pyeongchang in 2018), a three-time world champion, a three-time X Games gold medallist, a US Open champion, and was ranked #1 in the world after a formidable 2019 season. He's now months away from competing at his fourth Games in Beijing early next year.

Introduced to snowboarding at age two, Scotty quickly grew fond of the sport and by 13 was traversing the globe, claiming victory on the junior world tour, and standing atop the podium at both the US and European Opens.

We spoke to Scotty over Zoom from his current training base in London about his preparation for 2022, his roots, his goals and the impacts of global warming on the sport he loves.

On this special episode of the podcast I'm joined by former English football player, Rio Ferdinand. As you’ll hear in our conversation, Rio has long been a fierce advocate for mental health, busting the toxic culture in football and penning a heartfelt memoir following the death of his wife, Rebecca, in 2015.

Rio is continuing that work through a partnership with WeAre8, a new social media platform with a charity focus, that comes with a zero tolerance for hate. As part of that collaboration, Rio is set to head back to Australia this month to champion their message.

In our chat, I ask Rio about how he’s personally dealt with disappointment and pressure during his years playing for Manchester United and the English national team, and why he now feels compelled to change the culture of sport and social media.
