The Motorsport Brief Brad Johnson - from AFL to Motorsport

It was meant to be a shortcast but Rusty's convo with AFL Hall of Famer Brad Johnson runs over 30 minutes and it's a beauty! How the Bulldogs legend and his family have taken to motorsport as son Jack pursues a professional career behind the wheel. What it was like riding alongside his son in the Soutar Motorsport McLaren Artura GT4 at Phillip Island. The impression Jack made at the opening round of the series and the work they have put into an expensive sport as a family. Are there learnings from Brad's time as a professional athlete? The commitment, the discipline he showed on the way to becoming a Bulldog's games record holder and how it might apply to Jack. The little bits of sage advice from an Indycar star. And walking that tight rope of helping to guide your son to avoid the pitfalls while giving them freedom to grow and learn. Plus the Johnson love for F1 and where Jack would like to end up racing. The next stop for Jack is at the Bend in South Australia in early May.
