Life After the Whistle with Amber Daines

Controlled Stress and Health: Tom Harvey from Athlete to Entrepreneur


Listen Later

Tom Harvey is the co-founder of TH7, Australia’s leading wellness and recovery destination designed to help people live better, longer. A former professional rugby 7s player for the Queensland Reds and Australian 7s, Tom’s journey into performance and recovery began with a career-halting injury — and a Theragun. What followed was a deep personal dive into science-backed tools, heat and cold therapy, and the power of deliberate stress in building resilience.

After completing a degree in Exercise, Sport and Nutrition Science at the University of Queensland, Tom knew he didn’t want to follow a traditional path in one-on-one coaching. Instead, he carved out a new one, working in sports retail and product distribution before co-founding TH7 with leading physiotherapist Greg Spurgin in 2022. The vision was clear — to create a premium, protocol-led space where recovery isn’t reserved for elite athletes, but made accessible to everybody.

Tom Harvey, co-founder of TH7, shares his journey from a professional rugby player to a wellness entrepreneur. He discusses the importance of recovery, the science behind TH7's offerings, and how controlled stress can improve quality of life. Tom emphasises the need for proactive health management and shares insights on building a business that caters to both athletes and everyday people.
