This week on the Pioneering Minds podcast, we speak to Damien Fitzpatrick, a rugby player for the Sydney Rays and the Waratahs, and an MBA graduate. Fitzpatrick gives us an entertaining look at life beyond the rugby field, talking about the misconceptions that players face, the responsibilities that come with being a renowned sportsperson and what lead him to pursue an MBA.

“It’s been really fascinating to share the game [of rugby] around different communities and across different cultures… it’s a really inclusive sport that I would love to see most parts of the world have a go at.”
