Tara Rae Moss - Redefining Beauty: Modelling Resilience Through Pain

Today's wonderful guest, Sir John Kirwan, or JK as we know him, was one of the best rugby legends on the planet. He was known as being one of the toughest men but, JK spent a lot of his rugby career paralysed by anxiety. During his time as an All Black, the conversation around mental health was very different to what it is today and JK was, at least in part, a reason that our understanding of mental health has shifted.

In this chat we speak about what the early days of being an All Black were like; not much pay and the need for a second job! He played 63 test matches for the All Blacks from 1984 to 1994 and was part of the winning 1987 Rugby World Cup team. He also played for the Warriors and had success as a rugby coach, including on the international stage with Italy and Japan.

We speak about JK's family and why he has such a deep connection to Italy. 

In 2012, JK was knighted for his services to mental health – an honour & a life long responsibility as he says. At least he got a scone! He is the co-founder of Groov who are on a mission to improve the daily well being and reduce the suffering of people living with poor mental health.

Ellie Cole - "I'd been competing against athletes with two legs my whole life. Then I found the paralympics"

Today's episode is such an enjoyable chat with Gus Gould!
In the rugby league world, Gus is known as being a player, a general manager, a commentator and the most successful NSW State of Origin coach in history. 

He's also known for telling it like it is and voicing his honest opinions, despite them not always being popular. But, this chat was full of deep and meaningful conversations about his family and what led him to the various positions that he has held within the rugby league world. He hasn't planned a single thing in his life!
We have some belly laughs about how he got his nickname 'Gus' and when he met Nick Politis & subsequently joined the Roosters. 
This chat had me see a completely different side of Gus that I hadn't expected. 
He speaks about what he looks for in an up and coming player and how he never intended to be a young leader.
