Mick Fanning: On grief, the shark attack that changed his life & moving forward

Hello! This week, I'm lucky enough to sit down with the wonderful Mick Fanning. Mick is one of Australia's greatest sporting heroes, but he's a lot more than that. Mick has captured a special place in the hearts of Australians, and people idolise him accross the world.

He’s a three-time world champion surfer who famously survived a shark attack live on global TV. But behind all the success, Mick has lived through an incredible amount of personal tragedy, losing his father and all three of his brothers.

In this episode, Mick opens up about living with that grief and how he coped through his darkest days. We also chat about his accidental multi-million dollar business moves... from a bottle-opener sandal to building Balter Brewing... and why the moment he punched that shark changed the course of his life forever.

All Heart by Mick Fanning (Simon & Schuster) is available in bookstores and online now.
