Sue speaks with Michael Brake, Olympic Gold Medalist, resilient competitor, and advocate for teamwork. From early mornings on the water to standing on the world stage, Michael shares what it takes to stay driven, grounded, and connected to purpose — both in sport and in life.


Together, Sue and Michael dive into the essence of true leadership, the lessons of perseverance, and the power of collaboration in achieving greatness. Their conversation is a reminder that success is not just about winning, but about who you become along the way.


The Essence Within You shines a light on people making extraordinary contributions in their own unique way — conversations that inspire reflection, growth, and action.
