What does it mean to grow up inside someone else’s sporting legacy — and how does that shape a life beyond the field? Garry Jack and Brandon Jack come together for a rare and candid conversation about family, ambition, expectation and identity. Spanning generations and sporting codes (rugby league and AFL), this session explores how sport can bind families together, strain relationships, and ultimately redefine success.
