Mick Colliss is a gifted story teller with a very funny story to tell. He is the only Australian invited to speak at the prestigious MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table) event in Vancouver in 2016.
As a young kid, he always dreamed about playing for Australia. In anything. He tried a number of different sports – rugby league, rugby union, swimming, cricket, surf lifesaving – even lawn bowls, all without luck. But despite the disappointments and failures, he never, ever gave up.
Then, at the age of 42, all the hard work, dedication and perseverance paid off when he finally achieved his lifelong goal of wearing the green and gold – just not in the way you might think.
