In today's episode, Ryan speaks to James Matheson, a former double Olympian who represented Australia at the 2018 and 2022 Winter Olympics.  James is also the host of The Athlete Collective Podcast having retired from freestyle skiing to the corporate world over a year ago just after the Beijing Winter Olympics. 

He initially moved into banking and payments consultancy, and then into one of the fastest-growing payment tech firms. James believes in the power of storytelling and his Athlete Collective Podcast uncovers untold stories from athletes who are often portrayed from a singular perspective.
