Full episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Seven times ASP world champion, chair of Surfing Australia, ISA Executive Committee member, founder of the Layne Beachley Aim For The Stars Foundation, big wave pioneer; I've been lucky enough to speak to some big hitters on the show over the last year, but Layne Beachley, my guest for episode 028 is right up there. I sat down with Layne at her place in Sydney in December 2017, and we dived right into it, covering the highs and lows of an incredible career. Among the items up for discussion: Layne on how her first six titles were won in a state of fear; how her fierce competitive spirit with driven by a search for belonging; the long fight to gain parity with men in the professional surfing world. Great episode this, with one of Australia’s best-loved athletes. Thanks for coming on the show Layne!
