The former Broncos CEO and ex-country cop tours regional Queensland, honouring a promise he made to himself during brain cancer treatment to give back.

Paul White with NRMA Insurance CEO Andy Cornish in August 2013.It's seen him become a modern-day renaissance man — if the cop-cum-CEO wasn't that already.

"I set myself a task at the start of this year, where I wasn't going to say no to anything," he said. "I actually put my hand up to coach for the first time in 16 years … [as] the assistant coach for Marist Ashgrove under 15 rugby league." White's also been bouncing from consulting work to football coaching, from media work to guest speaking gigs around regional Queensland including one in late August that brought him back to Rockhampton."I reckon every community I've ever worked in has given me something back — whether it's Middlemount where I was in charge of a two-man police station or Mount Isa where I ran a really large police station or Charleville where I was born.

"Whether it's as a footy coach in a small country town or whether that's a player at the Broncos or whether that's a staff member at a mining company I'm now working at."
