    May 12 2025

    I absolutely loved speaking to Emma Uren. She is an inspirational human who has already achieved so much and has so much determination for more.


    Emma is a fantastic role model, and I have no doubt this podcast will lift you up.

  • Happiness Is... Peter Winterbottom [Ep 147]
    Apr 28 2025

    Peter Winterbottom was a respected (and feared) player. His desire to challenge himself was immense, playing at highest level with the Lions, but also playing in both NZ & South Africa.


    More recently, he's taken on HUGE endurance challenges to raise funds & awareness for various charities, including the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation.


    I was delighted when he made some time for a chat with me ahead of the Matt Ratana Marauders v MND Barbarians game on Sunday Mat 4th.

  • Happiness Is... Vivian Bahlmann [Ep 145]
    Apr 14 2025

    Anyone who listens to me will know...


    I think what makes rugby special is the people you meet, the relationships you build, the experiences you share, the places you go, and the memories you make.


    I went to Amsterdam as coach of the Penguins men's XV squad. It was the first tour where the men and women went together.


    I met Vivian Bahlmann. She is incredible! She is positivity in human form. I absolutely loved getting to know her, and I've watched her journey from afar.


    I was absolutely delighted when she found some time to chat with me. I loved it.


    I hope you enjoy listening.

  • Classic Happiness Is... Zoe Aldcroft
    Mar 31 2025

    Check out my chat from December 2021 with the current Red Roses Captain Zoe Aldcroft


    When Zoe Aldcroft was named as the best player in the world, I was delighted but not surprised.


    Her performances recently have been outstanding and it seems like there is still lots more to come.


    A very humble woman, hard working, honest and funny, it was a real joy that she agreed to be on the podcast.


    Thank you to Halbro Sports for bringing us together.


    I loved the chat, I hope you enjoy listening.

  • Happiness Is... Mickey Weir [Ep 143]
    Mar 24 2025

    A treat from our other podcast, Goals & Glory...


    He's here! He's there!


    Mickey Weir was dynamite and everything I loved about Hibs, passionate, quick, skillful and played with a smile. He was wee and that just made him even cooler.

    He was my big brother's favourite, he was a lot of people's favourite!


    I was delighted when he agreed to be on the pod and could have spoken to him for hours. I hope he'll come back for part 2!


    I loved it, I hope you enjoy listening!
