In the lead to this week's huge NRL Grand Final between the Brisbane Broncos and Melbourne Storm, I had the absolute privilege of chatting recently with rugby league legend Wally Lewis on Legends with Bevo! We covered some really important topics, including how he's going with his battle with CTE and whether more needs to be done to protect today's players after their careers. Wally also shared his thoughts on the season of his beloved Brisbane Broncos, what it meant to represent Queensland in State of Origin and his country, and even opened up about his wedding earlier this year. And of course, we found out why he's not a fan of being called “The King” Such an inspiring and honest chat with one of the all-time greats. Thanks so much to Wally for his time, to Gabrielle Prabhu from Dementia Australia for teeing up the chat, a big thanks to the team at Podbooth for a great job of putting the episode together and Callum Dunk from Funky Dunky Marketing for putting together this thumbnail.A huge thankyou also to our loyal series sponsors Steve Chapman from VH Motor Co and Ryan Bridges from Elders Goolwa.

Paul Filice is the president of Miner's Ace Hardware, a collection of nine “hardware stores” across the Central Coast. I put “hardware stores” in quotes because Miner's is so much more than a hardware store, though that's certainly how it began. In addition to all the usual stuff — hardware, tools, paint, etc — Miner's has a wonderful housewares section featuring Traeger grills, Yeti coolers, Ball canning systems and more that I could spend all day exploring. It also has one of the best nursery departments in the business, which is our top choice for everything from seeds and veggie starts to the avocado tree, satsuma tree, and espalier apple tree in our front yard. It's a family business: I grew up going to school with Amy Miner, Paul's wife, so I've been able to watch it grow over the years. Listen to Paul tell stories about legendary employee Wally Lewis who retired at the age of 95, the man who drove a Harley directly into the Los Osos Miner's and continued to shop on it, and about how the community knew COVID was over when the popcorn came back.
