Luke Bateman is a former professional rugby league player, reader, writer, BookToker and podcaster.
 This week he sits down with Steph to share his 3B's - who he wants to become, how he'd like to better himself, and who he wants to belong to.
 He also shares about navigating the world right now as a man who is vulnerable and open about his feelings, the profound impact that his mum and sister have had on his life, his happy place in western Queensland, and of course, plenty of book reccos!
