"When Pita Taufatofua began the walk towards the stadium at the 2016 Rio Olympics opening ceremony, he was an unknown, unrated athlete from an obscure Pacific island.

He would walk back out a global celebrity. Had it not been for a vat of coconut oil and his flair for flag bearing, he could have passed through the Olympic Games unnoticed and unreported"

I loved this opening line from an article that The Guardian wrote about my guest on the Work and Live Large podcast today, Pita Taufatofua.

So, when Pita and I caught up at my home podcasting studio in Brisbane, I had to ask him all about that story.

Here's the video conversation: https://lnkd.in/dXQz9xZP
