Podcast: From Geelong to building things — and now coaching with “life load”

In this conversation with Mark and Bill, we start where a lot of my story starts: growing up in Geelong — Manifold Heights Primary, Herne Hill/Geelong West, and Western Heights.

From there, we move into the work I’ve built over the years: creating and running initiatives designed to bring ambitious people together and turn ideas into real projects — including Pivot Summit (2015–2019).

(One Pivot event Mark references is the year I brought Steve Wozniak to Geelong.)

We also touch on taking that work beyond Geelong — evolving into broader regional programs across Victoria and even cross-border, focused on building capability in business, digital technology, and entrepreneurship.

From there, the conversation lands where I spend most of my time now: endurance coaching and sport science, and how to help athletes improve while still living a full life.
