A Life of Greatness

Eddie McGuire: A Life in the Spotlight, Burnout, and the Next Chapter of Sport


Listen Later

He is one of Australia’s most recognisable media figures, a broadcaster, journalist, TV host, footy commentator, and for over two decades the President of the Collingwood Football Club. Yet Eddie McGuire’s story stretches far beyond the headlines.


In this candid and revealing conversation, Eddie joins Sarah Grynberg to share the untold truths of a life lived at full tilt, from the toll of relentless schedules and the weight of public expectation, to the cost of being “always on” in the spotlight. With honesty and humility, he reflects on leadership, resilience, and the mental health challenges faced by those in elite sport under unyielding scrutiny.


You’ll learn:

  • How pressure and long hours pushed Eddie to breaking point and how he recovered 
  • What Melbourne needs to do to turn around youth crime 
  • What the AFL should be doing to deal with drugs in sport 


This episode is a powerful reminder that behind every public figure is a human being and that true leadership is measured not just in victories, but in the care we show for others along the way.
