In this episode I unpack the strange little origin story behind one of the biggest rivalries in sport and why it matters far more to your career than you think. It’s a reminder that the move that changes everything is usually the one you nearly talk yourself out of. A journalist in 1882 hit publish on a joke, and 140 years later we’re still living with the ripple effects.

I also share the message I almost didn’t send to Justin Langer and what happened next. The lesson isn’t about cricket. It’s about upside, timing and the tiny asks we overthink into oblivion. If you’re playing small or rationalising your way out of opportunities, this one will sting a little.

Expect stories, strategy, and a call-out on where you might be taking the safe option instead of the smart one.
