In this first episode I’m joined by my friend and partner on this project, Dan Carter. Dan is one of the greatest rugby players of all time, and a wise and humble man. In this episode we:
- Set out our intent to break from ‘recency bias’ and learn from the past
- Discuss how our collaboration came about
- Reveal Dan’s family connection to the Invincibles
- Get into why it matters to retain a connection with the past
- Discuss the Māori concept of whakapapa and how it can power an identity story
- Provide a sketch of 3 players who we will follow through the series
- Preview the timeless lessons that will emerge as the series unfolds
