Welcome back to the first episode of 2022! When I was a young swimmer growing up, I had posters of Michael Klim, Geoff Huegill and Scott Miller. So my inner 13 year old, fangirled to the max speaking to this weeks guest. Michael Klim famously lead the team - in a WORLD RECORD btw - in the 4 x 100 freestyle relay at the Sydney Olympic Games. It has to be one of the most iconic races in Australian history. It was so wonderful to sit and chat with Klimmy about his career and how not everything went according to plan. We spoke about how he has navigated life from elite athlete, to business founder and owner, to living a slightly more quiet life in Bali with his swim school. This chat made me realise that you can continually reinvent yourself, and find more meaning and more depth through your experiences! I loved this chat and I know you will too!
