The Tokyo Olympics has been unbelievable with so many inspirational stories!
Speaking of inspirational and keeping with the Olympics theme, I recently chatted with Adelaide’s very own, two-time Olympic Marathon runner, Jess Trengove.
We spoke about what it took to qualify for her first Olympics in 2012, her passion for running, childhood memories of the Olympics, what it was like inside the Olympic village and how Jess would have dealt with the postponing of the Olympics due to the pandemic.

The Ryan twins are known for doing great things on the footy field, however as I found out recently they are kicking goals off the field as well.
Josh and Lachie have co-founded a fantastic new advertising app called Sticky-Beek!
The boys spoke to me about the story behind Sticky-Beek and how people can use the app, their individual footy journeys and we learn that there is a typical sibling rivalry between the twins.

I absolutely loved chatting recently with five-time Australian champion Snowboarder, Steph Prem.
Steph was the only Aussie who competed in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics in snowboard cross.
It was great to hear from Steph about the buzz of competing for her country on the world stage, her journey to becoming a champion Snowboarder and what it is like inside the Winter Olympic village.
We also discussed the highs and lows of Steph's career and how she bounced back from a career ending snowboard accident to start Studio PP a very successful health and wellness business.
Thanks so much to Steph for her time, to Steph's Brand Manager, Renata Gombac and the amazing team at PodBooth for putting this great video together.
Big shout out also to my wonderful partners, Anytime Fitness and Renelec Electrical Services.

It was fascinating hearing from 2012 OIympic Diver, Rachel 'Buggy' Bugg about what it took to qualify for her very first Olympics at London.
Rachel also interestingly spoke about how she's scared of heights too which makes you appreciate even more what she has achieved in her career. We also spoke about advice for new Olympians and how Rach would've dealt with the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics.
Thanks so much to Rachel for her time and giving us a great insight into what it was like being an Olympian and thanks to Rory Noke from PodBooth for filming and putting this great video together!

For the first time ever on Legends with Bevo, I interviewed three people at the same time on Zoom.
Despite a few technical issues I really enjoyed chatting with former Australian swim coach and larger than life character, Laurie Lawrence, long distance swimmer and six time world record holder, Tammy Van Wisse and rugby league champion, Mark Minichiello.
The interview was about the important topic of Kids Alive and all three are ambassadors of this really important cause which promotes the importance of young children and their parents being aware of water safety.
Thanks so much to Mark, Tammy and Laurie for their team, to Trina from Ignite PR for arranging the interview and to the team at PodBooth for a great job of filming and editing the interview.
Finally thanks to our fantastic partners, Anytime Fitness Glenelg and Renelec Electrical Services and Telum Media for their continued support.

It was great fun catching up on Legends with Bevo recently with one of the real characters of footy, Richard Champion aka Champs.
We spoke about his junior footy career, including an incredible A-Grade footy debut at Kadina as a 15 year old, what it was like to play under some of the greatest footy names of all time including Blight, Ebert and Matthews and some interesting methods some of his coaches had.
We also discussed what it was like to play against some of the best full forwards of all time such as: Modra, Ablett, Dunstall, Carey and Lockett and how Champs nearly ended up at the Adelaide Crows.
Champs and I looked back on an incident in a SANFL game back in 1990 which led to one of the biggest melees in history.
You can book Champs as an MC by going to his website below, if you're lucky he might even sing a song or two for you.
