David Campese is one of Australia's greatest Rugby Union players, he is also a controversial voice in what can often now be called a vanilla arena. When the court of public opinion no longer allows for the voices of individuals it is good to see that some great stars are still willing to say what they believe. I taught David how to create Podcasts so he can share his own and his professional rugby alumni's thoughts and opinions in a genuine and relaxed manner. But as an introduction, I thought I might soundbite his life story and here it is. You can also listen to Davids Podcasts by following this link https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-ssa53-baa4ad?utm_campaign=au_share_ep&utm_medium=dlink&utm_source=au_share

Some would call her a therapist, some a master... but everyone that visits her professionally is considered a slave.
