Speaking candidly about what you are really feeling can definitely be a challenge and isn’t always something that society helps facilitate.In today’s episode, Jonny introduces the warm, open and engaging interview to come with Joe van Niekerk - the jungle-living and organic farming ex-Springbok rugby champion. Jonny mulls over some of the core themes brought up by their shared experience in professional sport, including the realisations brought about when your sense of belonging comes to and end. How do you navigate this change? Who are you when your sense of purpose seems to have gone? And once again, Jonny uncovers the power in the letting go of the ego and unhelpful attachment to our "achievements". The full interview with Joe van Niekerk will, as always, follow suit on Thursday so keep and eye out for it. But for now, if you have had similar experiences on the field, in your work or life in general, then Jonny would love to hear from you via the comments in the reviews section.
