Today’s guest is swimming superstar and sporting legend, Michael Klim. At 18 years of age, in 1995, Michael Klim was named Australian Swimming Rookie of the Year. He won a bronze medal in his first Olympic appearance in the 1996 Atlanta Games setting the stage for his meteoric rise and began breaking world records the following year.

At the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Klim won two gold and two silver medals. After retiring in 2007, Klim returned to swimming in 2011 with the hope of reaching the 2012 London Olympics and reached the semi-finals in both the 100m Freestyle and 100m Butterfly at the Australian Championships before again announcing his retirement. 

In 2020, Klim was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. This massive high was met with a massive low as 2020 was also the year Michael was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder that turned his world upside down called chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, or CIDP.

Beyond the pool, Michael is a dedicated philanthropist, entrepreneur, speaker, soon-to-be author and proud father of 3 who prioritises a robust work-life balance across his family and entrepreneurial pursuits. In today’s motivating and insightful episode, we talk about life after sport, the importance of mindset and balance and why he won’t let CIDP break his spirit.

Today's guest is the one and only Steven Bradbury, a four time Olympian who etched his name in history as Australia's first ever Winter Olympic medalist, securing the bronze in the 5000 metre relay at Lillehammer. However, it was his iconic gold at the 1000 metre event at the Salt Lake City Olympics that led to the popularisation of the phrase "doing a Bradbury." Whether on the ice or behind the podium, Bradbury's extraordinary tale of triumph against the odds continues to captivate and inspire.

Bradbury's accolades extend beyond the arena, earning the Dawn Award for Australia's best sporting performance and the Order of Australia Medal for his contributions to Australian sport. Beyond the ice, Bradbury's showcase resilience as a participant on the Australian TV show, Survivor and post-retirement, he has seamlessly transitioned into sports commentary and motivational speaking, and he's been an honour host and commentator for the last five Winter Olympic Games.

With over 1,350 appearances at conferences around the world, Bradbury has become one of the most sought-after motivational speakers. In today's episode, Bradbury shares a unique blend of humour and inspiration. Listeners are in for a treat as Bradbury imparts valuable lessons on passion, persistence, and the relentless determination required in the journey to success. I just know you're gonna love this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it for you.
