BOOTHCAST

Jordan Mercer is an athlete that I highly respect and her accomplishments in the water are quite incredible. A 6x M2O champion on the prone; Winner & record holder for M2O on the ocean ski; the only woman to win both the prone and surfski at M2O; and a Surf Ironwoman series champion. Jordan tells me her story of passion, commitment to goals and accountability. She is determined, focused and has quite an incredible approach to life. Lots to learn from her story!

This BOOTHCAST looks into the mind of Earl Evans the Co-CEO of Shaw and Partners. We walk through his early days growing up in Burke in QLD, reaching elite domestic levels at tennis, then moving into real estate and finance where he is today. We speak about making calculated decisions, the importance of looking at the numbers and creating accountability when setting goals.  Further we talk about how Earl found his love for Ocean Ski paddling to get fit and how he is passionate about trying to help take the sport to the next level. He is a dedicated guy with a big heart and lots of time for everyone. Thanks Earl for coming on! To listen to the podcast please find your favourite channel here www.anchor.fm/boothcast.
