Summary

This week we welcome All Black legend Dan Carter to the podcast. Born and raised in New Zealand, Dan is one of the finest players in rugby union history. 


Dan played 112 test matches for the All Blacks, winning two Rugby World Cups. He is the highest point scorer in test rugby and the most capped All Blacks Fly Half of all time.


Get the pen and notepad ready as we delve into the lessons Dan has learnt from his incredible career and life to date - something he calls 'the art of winning'. These are skills relevant to not only sports people, but entrepreneurs, leaders and beyond. Dan showed just what you can achieve when you set ambitious goals, have self-belief, and relentlessly pursue the skills to help you achieve them.
