88: Kurt Fearnley (Prelude - The Impact of Coronavirus)
#TheHowieGames | Kurt Fearnley is a phenomenal athlete. A Paralympic legend who, when racing, was defined by his iron will and absolute refusal to give up. Ever. Kurt had the ability to physically push himself into areas where few people go. His explanation of the mental attitudes required to do this are pretty special. But more than that, Kurt is a man who seeks out adventure, in a world where adventures are often a distant dream. If ya want a lift, I reckon this episode will get you up and about.

85: Garrett McNamara (Pt A)
#TheHowieGames | Garrett McNamara surfs enormous waves. The biggest ever surfed. Huge mountains of water that defy belief. In some ways this episode covers the themes that this show revolves around. Hard work, commitment, preparation and truly doing what you really want to do with your life. But with the G Man, the messages are delivered in a very, very different manner. Garret has lived a life far from ordinary. This isn’t just a podcast about surfing, it’s the story of a kid who grew up in very unusual circumstances. This is a look at life lived on the wild side.

84: Karrie Webb (Pt A)
#TheHowieGames | Karrie Webb is viewed by many as Australia’s greatest ever golfer. With 7 Major victories and over 70 Tour wins, she is a dominant force. Not one to typically like talking about herself, in this episode Karrie explains how she went from a small North Queensland town to the top of the golfing world and the effect it had on her, both positive and negative. There are a few tears, lots of laughs and a fascinating look into the life of an athlete we don’t know a great deal about considering her standing in the game. Karrie Webb rocks! ------ Follow The Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow The Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames Find Howie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarkHoward03/ Follow Howie on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/markhoward03/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
