Show Notes

It was a massive weekend of sport in Brisbane – and I couldn’t let it slip by without sharing a few reflections (even if you’re not a footy fan, there are still lessons in here about timing, trust, and big-moment leadership).

In this episode, I recap:

🎟️ Why I almost flew to Melbourne for the AFL Grand Final (and why I didn’t)
🦁 The Brisbane Lions’ gutsy win over Geelong – and the game-changing moment when coach Chris Fagan finally unleashed two-time Brownlow medalist Lachie Neale
🎤 Snoop Dogg’s half-time show – choreographed by the brilliant Fatima Robinson (the creative force behind the 2022 Super Bowl show with Dre, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige)
🥁 The blend of US icons and Aussie talent like Baker Boy, Tash Sultana, Jessica Mauboy, and that incredible brass band
🏉 Sunday’s NRL thriller: Broncos v Panthers at Suncorp Stadium – and the defining moment when Adam Reynolds, battling injury, took the captain’s responsibility for the pressure kick that sealed Brisbane’s place in the Grand Final
🔥 The buzz, the energy, the leadership lessons hidden inside sport: timing, trust, stepping up in clutch moments

Whether you’re a sports nut or not, I reckon you’ll take something away from these highlights.
