Description

"You can do anything," according to Craig James, former Chief Economist of CommSec tells us, "you just need to recalibrate". 

After spending 20 years behind the desk of Australia's most recognisable financial news source at CommSec, Craig James had to step away from the role. He chose to step away to manage the symptoms of his recent Parkinson's Disease diagnosis. 

A natural athlete, Craig recalibrated, and now holds a global powerlifting title for those with Parkinson's. He beat out other lifters from Australia, as well as those from Greece and the US in the process. 

"Each one of us will face challenges, but it is a case of what you can do, rather than what you can't," James tells us.
