This week Brian and Harrison kick things off with some footy chat;
BT gives his thoughts on why state of origin footy has never worked
in the AFL and how we can make it work and then Harrison quizzes BT
on what Mad Mondays were like in the 80s. Brian then shares a scary
story about how he almost lost his life in a Scooba diving incident
before finally working through some mailbag submissions. Later, the
boys are joined by 3x Olympic Gold Medallist, Grant
Hackett. Grant is one of the greatest distance swimmers in
history and for many years was the undisputed King of the 1500m
Freestyle having gone unbeaten in the discipline through 11 years
of competition. He won 26x Gold Medals combined at the
Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games & World Championships and
broke 16x world records. He has also received prestigious honors
such as the Order of Australia, Centenary Medal, The Don Award,
Australian Sports Medal, and membership within the Sports Australia
Hall of Fame and International Swimming Hall of Fame. The
conversation goes deep on; the pressure of performing and adapting
to challenges, mindset around goal setting and winning and losing,
finding balance between focused intensity and finding joy in the
process, the determination and attention to detail required to be
the best and his relationship with greats of the sports such as
Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe , plus much, much more. With an
educational background in business administration, business law and
financial services, Grant is now the CEO of Generation Life, an
Australia-based, publicly listed investment firm managing more than
$1.3 billion. More importantly than his role at Gen. Life, Grant is
a proud husband and father and all-round top bloke. We thank Grant
for his time. This episode is brought to by Hard Cuddles. Hosts:
