TWO AM I

Episode 1: Konrad Marshall

 

Konrad Marshall is a journalist, author, would-be carpenter, husband, father, insufferable Richmond Football Club fan and slow smoked barbecue enthusiast, who is putting his legs on the line in the pursuit of his next book, as a newly minted long-distance runner. While he doesn’t quite remember how writing became him, he reckons his Mum dubbing him ‘arty boy’ and being ‘shithouse’ at maths probably propelled him in that direction, one that he wouldn’t trade for the world. Described as a writer of “uncommon sensitivity, a master of observing the beauty and strangeness in everyday life” Konrad puts himself into everything he pens, bringing the stories of others to life in the most beautiful of ways.

They first met at a café in Richmond in Melbourne, and Jack and Shane admit, it was connection at first sight. The pair realised straight away that they shared a passion for leadership, growth and a fascination for people and their stories. What began as a professional relationship at the Richmond Football Club, turned into a friendship and partnership co-hosting TWO AM I. And in this final episode of Season 1, Jack and Shane explore the two (or five) personal items that mean the world to them, they reflect on their guests over the past eight episodes and what they learned from each and reveal what Climbing the Mountain means to them.

Episode 8: Rosie Popa

It was not a given that Rosie Popa would follow in her parents’ footsteps as an Olympic rower, but as the universe would have it, she loved the sport so much her destiny would be so. And it was this family connection and support that helped her all the way to the top of her game, even when the chips were down, and her Olympic dream looked like it was slipping from view. Through the challenges Rosie has faced over the years, her self-belief, ability to roll with the punches, grit and determination, and resourcefulness in training in the most unorthodox of conditions, paved the way for her to bring home not only a gold medal, but a whole new love and understanding for who she is.

Connection, belonging and kindness could be Brad McEwan’s middle names. It is those qualities that guided this glass half full all-round good guy through some of the most devastating moments in his life, helped him sustain a stellar TV career, and brought him back to his hometown in northern Victoria when disaster struck. He openly admits ‘he loves people’ and whether you are his best mate, his Mum or a shop assistant he has never met, he has time for chat. His ability to connect with anyone is his superpower and the thing that underpinned a huge change in life direction some years ago which ultimately has brought him more happiness than he could ever have dreamt of.

The leap from elite athlete to the next chapter in life isn’t always straightforward, and for three-time AFL premiership Richmond player David (Dave) Astbury it came with a lot of ‘discomfort.’ But being the curious type, Dave set out to find answers to the many questions he was faced with – a rewarding journey that’s taken him to a place of self-discovery and mindfulness, and to where he finds himself now. Backed by his resilience, ability to connect with others, and positive outlook Dave is now a mindset coach with High Performance Mindfulness – working with the likes of the Hockeyroos – while also studying Psychological Science. So how is this self-confessed ‘girl-guy’ not only shaping his future, but of those around him?

A lawyer, human rights and multiculturalism advocate, writer and accomplished public speaker, Nyadol has lived a thousand lives in one.

Sarah Jones was a country kid who like many was sports mad. But it was her determination that helped her forge a career as a sports broadcaster at a time when there were few women in the game. Sarah is now one of Australia’s most polished sporting hosts and appears on FOX Footy, cricket and sports all year round. And while Sarah’s story isn’t without tragedy, having lost someone very important to her at a young age, she says it doesn’t define her. Her optimism and passion for life as well as her laugh, are infectious, and it’s something she hopes to pass onto other young women, and men looking to embrace their big dream.
