š“276. Captains Take the Kick
It was a massive weekend of sport in Brisbane ā and I couldnāt let it slip by without sharing a few reflections (even if youāre not a footy fan, there are still lessons in here about timing, trust, and big-moment leadership).
In this episode, I recap:
- šļø Why I almost flew to Melbourne for the AFL Grand Final (and why I didnāt)
- š¦ The Brisbane Lionsā gutsy win over Geelong ā and the game-changing moment when coach Chris Fagan finally unleashed two-time Brownlow medalist Lachie Neale
- š¤ Snoop Doggās half-time show ā choreographed by the brilliant Fatima Robinson (the creative force behind the 2022 Super Bowl show with Dre, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige)
- š„ The blend of US icons and Aussie talent like Baker Boy, Tash Sultana, Jessica Mauboy, and that incredible brass band
- š Sundayās NRL thriller: Broncos v Panthers at Suncorp Stadium ā and the defining moment when Adam Reynolds, battling injury, took the captainās responsibility for the pressure kick that sealed Brisbaneās place in the Grand Final
- š„ The buzz, the energy, the leadership lessons hidden inside sport: timing, trust, stepping up in clutch moments
Whether youāre a sports nut or not, I reckon youāll take something away from these highlights.
