10 days of travel photos: Day 8 Uluru, Northern Territory, Australia Absolute life changing trip to the centre of Australia in 2006. The beating heart of our First Nations People. My only regret is that I climbed Uluru. It was not warranted and my only travel memory that I am ashamed of. I can’t wait to visit this place again and watch and listen and feel. #uluru #ulurukatatjutanationalpark #exploreuluru #ulurusunset #ayersrock #nationalpark #northernterritory #visitNT #exploreNT #redcentre #heartofaustralia #northernterritoryaustralia #visitaustralia #australiagram #seeaustralia

This podcast is truly full of gold if you’re a marketer or agency looking for insights in the sports industry. Sean really knows his stuff – he’s spoken publicly at many occasions (I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him firsthand) and as someone in the trenches the anecdotes and data couldn’t be more up to date and valuable. Well worth a listen!
