Here it is for you listeners: 

Samuel (Sam) Ho is an ex-national Australian Junior Badminton Player. I first met Sam when we were playing for our respective state teams in the Australia & New Zealand under 17s team tournament (June Bevan - JB). His infectious smile, laughter and his no-filter way of communicating makes him the perfect guest to begin our podcast with.
