#228: Matthew Richardson - Overcoming Adversity

This is a man that needs no introduction in the Australian
Football Space and even broader in Australia. An absolute
superstar of his time. Matthew Richardson or 'Richo', as he is
affectionately called is an ex professional Australian Rules
Footballer, an icon of the Richmond Football club, where he
played 282 games and kicked 800 goals. He is now an expert
commentator on channel 7 and 3AW and of course is often heard
on, Richmond’s podcast Talking Tigers.


He is known for his passion, work ethic, courage, goal kicking
and marking prowess, winning the Club’s leading goalkicker award
13 times for the Richmond Football club as well as winning a best
and fairest award, 3X All Australian, being inducted in the team
of Century as well as being a Richmond & AFL Life Member. He
is currently the 12th highest goal scorer of all time. He is one
of the most loved and humble humans in football. 


We chat about not taking yourself so seriously, nerves,
collaboration, life after footy, injuries, being on live TV,
vulnerability, ego, working a full-time job while being a
professional athlete, leadership, overcoming adversity and
controlling our emotions.
