In episode 206, Max chats with Essendon Bombers President David Barham! David takes us through tours with Greg Norman, travelling the world covering sport alongside Bruce McAvaney, and behind the unearthing of the lost AFL archive. One of the most powerful moments he shared was finding lost footage of John Kennedy Snr — and watching John sit with his head in his hands, overwhelmed as the tape flickered back to life.

We also spoke about his transition to Essendon. How do you balance the hunger for immediate success with the discipline required to stay the course through a rebuild? David walked through the detailed studies and planning that have gone on behind the scenes to set the club up for sustained success.

An incredible career, an incredible mind - and an incredible perspective on leadership, both in sport and beyond.

All this and much more in episode 206 of Sporting Max!
