Nic Naitanui is one of Australia's most recognisable sports stars. The West Coast Eagle has overcome so much adversity across his life to get to where he is. In the past six years alone, the boy from Fiji lost his beloved Mum, played in a losing grand final, did two ACLs and then watched from the sidelines as his teammates won a premiership. All of it drives him every day. As you'll hear in this episode, Nic is a story teller who has always held onto his sense of humour and love of culture.
