Welcome back to episode 64! Incredibly honest and retrospective conversation with George about dealing with internal battles with himself, public scrutiny and the early ban he got when he was 19. George also discusses what it takes to be on top of the game. Some strong results in 2024 and George is more motivated than ever (doing dry January as well!) so stay tuned. Enjoy!
Thanks in advance for all the comments, critiques and conversations!
