Key Points: Kirren reflects on the psychological parallels between facing 'Garth Goliath' in martial arts and challenging the behemoths of the business world. Kirren explains how he faces challenges in business much like opponents in martial arts, where mindset and strategy play critical roles.

He speaks highly of Maria Pekli, a judo champion with seven national titles and a Lifetime Membership of Judo Australia, who has been a guiding force in his journey.
