In this episode of the podcast, Olympic gold medalist Shane Gould shares her fascinating story of transitioning from the world of sports to reality TV and the unexpected twists that came with it. From winning Australian Survivor to becoming the first player to be banished from The Traders Australia, Shane's journey is a wild ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Shane's conversation delves into her experiences on both shows, including the challenges she faced and the lessons she learned along the way.
