"#024 - SEASON FINALE"
***
For our final episode of Season 1 (sad face) we decided to do things a little different and interview James, your host, to understand where the voice on the other side of the mic is coming from. James is interviewed by The Average Athletes, Marty and David. The second half of the show we look back on some highlights from Season 1. We can’t wait for next season! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this conversation with Marty, David and James - Let’s do it!

This is our last episode of Season 1! There is a short explainer episode (released soon) discussing what will be happening with the show. In short, we are on on pause until the new year when your host, James Matheson, returns from the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games. For normal programming, please see other episodes where James interviews guests.

"#023 - Marieke D'Cruz (née Guehrer): From World Record Holder to Management Consultant..."
***
On today’s show, I sat down with Marieke D’Cruz (née Guehrer). Marieke is an ex-Australian swimmer who competed for Australia at the Athens 2004 Olympics and is the former World Record Holder in the 50m butterfly. At the same time, Marieke worked for an Australian public policy think tank, The McKell Institute and now works for McKinsey and Company. In this conversation we discussed what it takes to be a world class swimmer, Marieke’s transition from sport, and why swimmers can feel like fish out of water in retirement. This led to the topic of identity reconciliation, and how important this is through any career transition. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, let’s do this!

"#011 - The Rookies: What it takes to complete an IRONMAN..."
***
On today’s show I sit down with two of my mates Ned and Maxime, aka The Rookies. Along with a squad of 7 others, the two decided to take on the gruelling task of attempting to complete an Ironman. All while juggling full time work at the same time. This was the ethos of The Rookies, can an eclectic mix of a lawyer, panel beater, teacher and other quote unquote “average punters” complete one of the worlds hardest physical feats. I’ve done a small amount of training with these guys and I will say they are not your average punter in the slightest! Just so you know how ridiculous this event is, an IronMan includes a 3.9km swim, 180km bike ride and a 42.2km run. This is an awesome episode to provide a perspective on what the training was like for such an event, as well as the actual event itself. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, let’s do it!
