Martin Taupau 

Martin Taupau is a professional athlete and NRL player for Brisbane Broncos. Having played 255 NRL Games and 35 representative test matches, he is a veteran of the league and knows a thing or two about mentoring the new players coming through. Off the field Martin is Co-Founder of two businesses, DSRUPTRS and Not Stationary. He shares his unique perspective about the lessons that businesses can learn from elite sport. 

Billy Walters

Billy Walters is a current NRL player with the 2025 NRL Premiership winning Brisbane Broncos. Before signing his first NRL contract, Billy completed a carpentry apprenticeship, giving him lived experience of navigating workplace expectations, feedback, and the transition from learning to professional performance. In elite sport, Billy operates in a system where performance is reviewed regularly, feedback is direct, and accountability is non-negotiable. This mirrors many of the pressures faced by apprentices and employers, where progress depends on clear communication and trust.
