Host Joel is joined by Matthew, the new head coach of Port Darwin football club. Matthew is making a "huge leap of faith" to take over the club. This episode covers Matthew's football journey, his philosophy, and how he came to coach Port Darwin. He views Darwin as a "place of opportunity", which led him to take this new coaching risk.

Matthew shares his definition of leadership, his "winning is my religion" mindset, and his coaching approach. He details his experience, including obtaining a B licence in 2014, and contrasts the competitive coaching environment and facilities in Melbourne with those in Darwin. Matthew emphasises the importance of a data-driven, analytical approach, mentorship, and leaving a lasting "legacy" at Port Darwin.
