  • Get a little Frank #26

    John X and Luke Martin joined me for GALF 26!

    Well, after a recap on our footy sides form, what we did on the weekend, bagged out an Eastern shore restaurant, and whined about how cold it is, it's fair to say we dedicated a fair part of this episode to both the Tassie AFL team news, as well as the Kings Coronation, and a rant from John!

    We chatted the benefits of the stadium and it's surroundings, membership challenges, roof or no roof, who will coach, what else can be hosted there, and why it is good for the state.

    Special shout out to all the Mum's this Sunday too! Those here with us, not with us, and those doing all the Mum things in the absence of those we wish that were.


    Enjoy!

  • Get a little Frank #25
    Co-hosting today was John X, and my good mate, Nick Paine!
    Some good banter today, as I bring in one of my good mates who doesn't take himself very seriously at all!
    My sporting ability was high on the agenda for Nick, we reflect on the passing of Barry Humphries, ANZAC Day, footy, special moments that have been hijacked, watching sex scenes on movies/tv shoes with your partner/family members, do you ask celebrities for photos, #John'sRant about those that don't respect shopping trolleys, the week ahead and much more.
    I also wanted to dedicate this episode to Jo Harris who passed away this week from a battle with cancer. Jo bravely joined me (alongside her husband Scott) on a Get Frank episode a couple of months ago to share her battle, and her hope for cancer support here in Tasmania moving forward.
    May you rest in peace, Jo! x
    Stay safe everyone!

  • Episode 44 - Christine Finegan

    Such an honor to be joined by the current Jack Jumpers Co-CEO, Christine Finnegan.

    Christine is an energetic and passionate sales and marketing

    professional with extensive experience within the sports and entertainment
    sector.

    Christine joined the Tasmania Jack Jumpers in August 2020 and has helped

    build the strong and enviable JJ's brand into what it is today.

    In this episode we talked about family, growing up in Canberra, her work in politics, recognising her passion for sport but not as a player, her time in large sporting organisations such as St Kilda, The Brumby's, Tennis Australia, we chat about being part of Melbourne Storm at the time of the salary cap disaster.

    A large part of this chat was also around Christine's drive to see more women in executive leadership roles.

    What are the barriers, how do we change it, and what Christine believes we can do to see the representation of women in key roles rise.

    And of course, we talk all things Jack Jumpers!

    Christine is a wonderful role model to all of us, but in particular to women and young girls all across the country.


    Thank you for giving us an insight into your passions, challenges and things that make you smile!

    What will we do to stop stabbings and overall violence across the country?

  • Episode 43 - Matt Wade

    Matt wade is a professional cricketer who has played in all three formats for our National side. Predominately as a wicket keeper batsmen, Wade is a household name in not just Australia, but around the world for his passionate, and at times aggressive way he goes about his cricket.

    On this episode we talked about the decision between footy and cricket as a youth, leadership and mentors, the importance of believing in yourself, who has been there for him in his career, challenges faced in losing Phil Hughes, testicular cancer, the importance of family, life outside of cricket, and of course, how he’s had fun along the way.

    Grateful for Wadey giving up his time, as it is precious in between travel for cricket and family commitments.

    Thanks for your openness, insights, and vulnerability, Wadey.

    Goodluck in the upcoming IPL!

     

    Enjoy!

  • Episode 42 - Peter Gee

    Peter Gee is a former ABC news presenter and Sports Broadcaster, who had 40 years of experience in the game.

    Peter, who is a well-known Tasmanian, shared with me his journey towards the top of his game, which is a wonderful insight into simply loving your job, and caring about each piece of work that you do.

    It was a pleasure to unpack so much of Peter's highlights that include commentary at some of the world's largest sporting events, Meeting sporting superstars such as Greg Norman and Pele, to name a few.

    But also, the tough times, a near death cycling experience that saw him have psychotic episodes and numerous visits to hospital.

    These days, a passionate board member, MC, charity supporter, and an avid bike rider - oh, and a National Anthem singer...

    Thanks for the stories, the passion, the wisdom, and the fun, Peter!
