I don't think Buncee has ever spoken this openly or at this length ever before, which makes this episode something pretty special.
We talk about Frank's journey from growing up in South Auckland with seven siblings and working on the back of a rubbish truck to the world stage, representing both Samoa and the All Blacks and being part of the transformational shift from amateur rugby to the professional era.
There are some incredible rugby stories in here, including his very special relationships with John Olomou and Eric Rush, and his love-hate relationship with his coach Laurie Mains.
But this episode goes far beyond sport.
Frank opens up about ageing, identity, fatherhood, friendship, grief, retirement, and the emotional challenges that come when elite sport suddenly disappears.
This conversation is reflective, it's also very funny, with one of New Zealand sports' great characters.
Hey, just before we get into it, massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.
Look, we've all got that one mate, haven't we, who's convinced they've worked out how to beat the market, usually with a lot of confidence and no actual expertise.
You know who I'm talking about.
So here's your reminder not to get caught up in the noise and to trust the real investment experts at Generate.
I sat down with a Generate KiwiSaver advisor when they came on as a show sponsor back in 2023, and it was one of those conversations that made me think, God, why didn't I do this earlier?
