Introducing HIA #189 Dan Cates AKA jungleman12 or w00ki3z and world renowned heads-up No Limit Texas Hold 'em player.

From playing sleepless nights to pre-game meditation, this man is diverse in every sense of the word and has some insightful notes to share with us and we’re grateful to get to know the mind behind the poker face.

Meet the inspirational Kate Strong, our HIA #114 is an internationally recognised expert in change behaviour, emergent strategy and sustainability.

Coming from a background of 3 cycling World Records, Kate has a strong will to make change in the sporting and wider environment and she certainly knows how to take action. In her most recent feat, she cycled over 3,000 miles around mainland Britain on a hand-made bamboo bike, all while hosting multiple talks, engaging with grassroots community projects and volunteering at local charities.

Meet HIA #47 Eric Radford, retired Canadian figure skater, two time Olympic medallist and so much more.

Eric Radford’s journey in figure skating has been a standout. Having competed in two Olympics, he took home a gold in the team event and a bronze in pairs in 2018. Now coaching, he’s passing his wealth of experience on to new skaters. Eric also composes predominantly piano music, sometimes even joining passions and composing for skating programs. As one of the first openly gay figure skaters to compete at the Olympics, he’s also been a steady advocate for LGBTQ+ representation in sports.

To learn more about his journey and creative process behind the accomplishments, we had a chat.

Meet Sasha De Sola, HIA #124 and principle dancer for the San Francisco Ballet.

Having started out at the esteemed Kirov Academy of Ballet in Washington D.C., Sasha joined the SF Ballet in 2006 where her talent was both recognised and fostered, leading to her soloist promotion in 2012 and principal dancer in 2017, one of the most prestigious ranks in ballet. Illuminating the stage of many an iconic ballet, including Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, and Giselle, Sasha’s grace extends far off the stage and into her generous nature.

Meet Ryan Fox, HIA #51 and professional golfer.

Having been on the professional green scene since 2012, this legend used his powerful swing to claim victory last year at the 2023 BMW PGA Championship. His biggest win on the DP World Tour to date. Coming from a family of pro athletes, it’s only natural that Ryan has been making waves on the international golfing scene for a while now. But what else it is that drives him to keep pushing the boundaries, both on and off the course?

Meet Ellis Spiezia, HIA #163 and a natural speed demon.

Known for bringing his laser focus and eco-friendly edge to the track, Ellis is the future of racing at only 18 years old. He’s got sustainable power and a will to give on his side, but what else makes this electric racer ahead of the game?

Meet Bianca Andreescu, Canadian tennis legend.

She was the first Canadian tennis player to win a major singles title and the Canadian Open in 50 years. With a career world ranking of #4, we’re lucky to have her a part of the team as HIA #217.

HIA #192 Lockie Ferguson bowls like a bullet train, beating batsmen with his precision and pace.

When it comes to seeing this level of performance time and time again we must ask ourselves, what is it about Lockie that allows him to play to such a high quality?
