Happiness Is with Bruce Aitchison

I have admired Kieron Achara from afar for years. I met him once when he visited the basketball team in my school, he is an impressive human. He is a presence when he enters the gym, he is a Role Model and should be listened to with his views in the game, sport,the future and attitudes.I watched him play his last home game for Glasgow Rocks, he remembered me and gave time to my daughters, good guy.His story is inspiring and I loved talking to him.I hope you enjoy listening.Happiness is Egg Shaped

The last episode in the Samurai Rugby Pod Series is out on Monday with 🥇Golden Boy🥇 Tim Walsh!Walsh played for Samurai, coached for Samurai, won a 🥇 medal at the Rio Olympics as coach of the Australian Womens 7s Team and then coached the AU 7s Mens Team in Tokyo.I absolutely loved speaking to him, he's a class act, a cool, laid back Aussie with a very positive outlook and sharp mind. I hope you enjoy listening.Happiness is Egg Shaped#SamuraiFamilyas part of the "Celebrating 25 Years of Samurai Rugby" series

I have watched and loved 7s for a long time, growing up near Melrose in the Borders and then living in HK for 4 years fuelled the fire.Ben Gollings is BOX OFFICE! He won for England, made the HK Magnificent 7 and is a fantastic ambassador for the game. The Samurai Pod Series has allowed me to meet some of the biggest hitters in the 7s Universe.Best of all, they've all been good people. Ben Gollings is good people.I loved talking to him.

Next in the Samurai Series is the wonderful Rachael Burford.I have got to know Burf very recently and love how passionate she is about the game, raising the profile of girls/womens Rugby & being a part of the #SamuraiFamily.Finding time in her ridiculously busy schedule to have chat was challenging, but well worth the wait...I loved talking to her, I hope you enjoy listening.Happiness is Egg Shapedas part of the "Celebrating 25 Years of Samurai Rugby" series

My mate Tony Walker has been at Exeter Chiefs for years. I've no idea what he does, but he is on the touchline for games and seems to know the players.A lot has happened since we played together and I was delighted he found time in his very busy schedule to have a chat to me.I loved it. I hope you enjoy listening.Happiness is Egg Shaped

I have loved doing the Happiness is... Podcast and although it took some persuading, I couldnt imagine how it has reached people.Normally, I'm in the room to see and feel the reaction when I speak and ask the questions, so the pod was an unknown venture.After speaking to the MAGNIFICENT David Smith MBE, I felt flat. It was an amazing experience but the comedown was huge. I was tired. I couldn't believe what happened next.Kevin McKenzie, the gritty, aggressive Scotland International hooker from Stirling County gave me a call and said he wanted to tell his story. He saw similarities between his journey and David's. The first call lasted 45mins!Doing the pod inspired me. I didn't know Kev's story, I do now.I loved it, I hope you enjoy listening.Happiness is Egg Shaped
