    Description

    Only one Australian can say he holds the NFL Superbowl title ring, and that's Jesse Williams. 
    Born on Thursday Island, Queensland, to Indigenous Australian parents and raised in Brisbane. Now aged 32, and still lives in Brisbane. Jesse started playing gridiron football aged 14 years old. 
    At the age of 24, he was diagnosed with kidney cancer. His NFL career would end before ever getting started after the surgical removal of his kidney in 2015.

    Too often, we avoid real conversations. Entrepreneur Mark Bouris sits down and gets to know people, understands what makes them tick, and shares the great and unusual things they’re doing. There’s no sugar coating. There’s no hiding behind fancy marketing slogans. Just an honest conversation.
