In this episode, I sat down with James Parkes, former professional rugby player, strength and conditioning coach, and founder of MyDay Health.
We talked about alcohol’s complicated role in sport, from team bonding to the risks it carries for health and performance.
James shared candid insights on rugby culture, leadership, and the importance of support systems, and we explored how these lessons translate into business and organisational well-being.
If you’ve ever wondered whether alcohol really brings people together or holds them back, this conversation will get you thinking.
