Why did Tom Brady and Alex Pereira choose Harry Crichton?
In Samoan villages, the Chiefs are responsible for protecting the village. Harry has built a business out of this with Anton Chand and Cess Uale. Their motto is Fa'amalumalu o aiga, which translates to a shelter or protects your family.
“We look after our village; we look after our people, and that's the name of our company,” Crichton said. Brady didn’t interact much with Crichton. Brady asked about the growth of AFL and cricket in Australia. Harry was more involved in the scene with Pereira.
