In this episode, Craig sits down with former Springbok Leader Joe van Niekerk as he reflects on his journey from elite rugby leadership to spiritual inquiry, brotherhood, and a very different definition of strength.
The conversation explores grief, identity after sport, plant medicine, vulnerability, and why the deepest work of a man’s life may begin when the old role falls away.
