Podcast #26 - Keven Mealamu. Two-time Rugby World Cup Winner, 132 Test All Black, 164 Games for the Blues - winning a Super Rugby title in 2003, Co-owner of FIT60 gym with wife Latai, Budding Professional Boxer plus much more.
Great to chat with an old friend - it’s been a while.
Kevie let us in on his motivation for the next stage of his life. He’s getting into the ring for the first time. Something he’s wanted to do for a long time and something he “didn’t want to die wondering about” or have any regrets about.
We chat about the feelings he went through of being named in the All Blacks for the first time and where he was at the moment his name was announced.
We discuss some moments we shared while being a part of the All Blacks, including our connection with Brian O'Driscoll and he also shares some of the learnings he and the team were able to pick up from the 4 World Cups he attended.
He shares a lot of learnings and experiences that he has been able to pick up in his life and some great insights into his journey. He talked about what success looks like and how medals and winning championships don’t define you, the little successes along your path are just as important.
He also shares what he’s doing now with his involvement as a business owner, a member of local body communities where he wants to make a difference in his community and, also as a board member on Auckland Rugby where he gives back to the game and community that gave him so much.
A very insightful episode and one that I really enjoyed. I’m sure you will too.
