In this episode of our 2 part series with Brad Ebert, we delve deep into the key life lessons Brad learnt on the pitch and how some of which have served him in the business world, while others acted against him.

Retiring at 31 may seem like a great way to kick-off life in your 30's, but in reality not every athlete is equipped to have a solid grip on their personal and professional life post retiring.

Tune in and hear it from Brad on what he thinks is truly transferable and what he had to somewhat unlearn to succeed in the business world.

Today, Brad runs his own business (https://heydiddle.com.au/) with his co-founder Tom Jonas with whom he had the pleasure of playing football at the same club.

From turning childhood dreams and pipe dreams into reality, Brad had nothing given to him as a football player or entrepreneur, if anything, he had a bigger responsibility and social expectation to perform and lead by example.

Brad followed his childhood dream of becoming a professional football player where he achieved outstanding milestones both personally and professionally. Shortly into his football career, he wore his all-time favourite team guernsey and officially joined the Port Adelaide Football Club (PAFC) to then become their vice-captain.

Drawing the line between sports and business was difficult for Brad as his curiosity and drive never ended at the pitch, if anything it only had just begun. Upon retiring from playing football in 2020, Brad's fearless mindset and leadership gained from sports helped him to smoothly transition to the business world.

Today, Brad leads a successful South Australian wine business (https://heydiddle.com.au/) with his co-founder Tom Jonas with whom he had the pleasure of playing football at the same club.
