In the 90’s and early 2000s, Adam Parore was a star of the NZ cricket team.
Then he could be seen on the cover of Women’s Day every other week.
Over a decade ago he went to ground and there has been very little written about him in the public domain ever since.
This conversation is sort of in three different chapters:
The cricket career, including being mentored by his mate Martin Crowe.
Climbing Mount Everest….and almost dying the day before he made it to the summit.
Why he removed himself from the public eye, his loves and losses and the toll that’s played on his mental health and a bunch of other really special stuff that I loved and I hope you do too.
