#47 Wog Boy Nick Giannopoulos is back in town

Cooper Cronk is one of rugby league's most cerebral players and a three-time premiership winner who transformed from a modest rugby union schoolboy into one of the game's greatest halfbacks.

In this conversation, Cronk reveals the mental frameworks that drove his success, from Craig Bellamy's obsession with fundamentals at Melbourne Storm to his legendary 2018 grand final performance with a broken scapula. He discusses the coffee test that Bellamy uses for recruitment, how the spine positions require high football IQ, and why great players have time others don't. Cronk also opens up about his worst career moment in the 2016 grand final and how it taught him the lesson that secured his next three premierships.

• Craig Bellamy's leadership philosophy and the coffee test for recruitment
• Playing the 2018 grand final with a broken shoulder blade
• The 2016 grand final disaster that changed his entire approach
• Why Melbourne Storm's spine trio dominated for over a decade  
• Cameron Smith's unparalleled football intelligence
• The fundamentals that separate elite performers from the rest
• His transition into financial services and property investment

Chris Richardson is one of Australia’s most quoted economists and the founder of Rich Insight, bringing decades of expertise from his time at Deloitte Access Economics to decode complex fiscal policy. 

Chris and I might not agree on every aspect of this budget, but that is what makes this conversation worth having. 

In this analysis of Australia’s latest budget, Richardson reveals why our living standards have barely grown over the past decade while other OECD nations have surged ahead by 17%. He dissects the real economic effects of the budget on inflation, interest rates, and the Reserve Bank’s delicate balancing act. Richardson also exposes the “off-budget” spending that keeps billions in government expenditure hidden from public scrutiny and explains why housing affordability will not be solved by capital gains tax changes alone.

Ellyse Perry is arguably Australia's greatest dual-sport athlete, the only person to have represented Australia in both cricket and football at an international level.

In this conversation, she reveals the mental framework behind scoring a Test double century, why she finds deeper meaning in team sport than individual achievement, and how a competitive childhood on Sydney's North Shore set the foundation for everything that followed.

Perry also discusses the evolution of her training across two decades at the top, the growth of women's cricket, and the almost meditative headspace she finds batting in the nets - a window into how one of Australia's most enduring athletes thinks about performance, longevity, and what the game gives back.
