Luke Mathews chats with Brady before flying out to a training camp in Flagstaff, recapping his recent 1500m National Title at Sydney and why he sees doing more of the 1500m in his future career among other highlights in his young career.

He touches on the circumstances behind changing coaching and management in 2017 and the transition period before coaching under his mum Elizabeth as well as the disappointment in Rio Olympics, why he performed as he did competing against the atmosphere of a full stadium and the lessons he used in Gold Coast, ending with how he comes up with his victory line celebrations and being on Strava.
