🥋 What does it mean to embrace discipline, resilience, and cultural wisdom on and off the field?
In this episode of Rolling Through Negotiations, we sit down with Tjimari Sanderson-Milera, a former national athlete turned entrepreneur and cultural educator. Tjimari, a true embodiment of his Kokatha, Narungga, Kaurna, and Adnyamathanha heritage, shares his journey from surf lifesaving and athletics to founding Kumarninthi, a business aimed at promoting Aboriginal culture through educational workshops and tours, as well as his newly launched skincare brand, Ruwi.
🎯 Key Insights:
Discipline and Resilience: Tjimari reflects on the importance of pushing through mental and physical challenges whether on the track or in business and how these lessons translate to personal growth.
Cultural Awareness: Tjimari shares the significance of acknowledging the land and its history, along with paying respect to Elders and the deep spiritual connection that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples hold with the land. He explains how this practice fosters a deeper sense of understanding and respect, which can influence personal and professional interactions, including negotiations.
Work Life Balance: From 4:30 AM gym sessions to family time, Tjimari reveals how balance and persistence have been key in his entrepreneurial and personal success.
Just Keep Showing Up: Consistency and dedication, whether in training or business, create ripple effects that lead to long-term growth and success.
So, tighten your belts and get ready to roll through a powerful conversation about finding strength in discipline, embracing cultural heritage, and applying these lessons to both business and negotiations.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. Thank you for listening, and see you on the mats next Thursday for another great session of Rolling Through Negotiations!
