In late 2009, I conceived the idea for “Heroes of Sport and Business” for evoTV (evotv.com.au). This series targeted eight successful former athletes who have since had equally successful business careers. The eight individuals were:
- Nick Farr-Jones
Wallabies ex-captain and now Taurus Funds Management director - Simon Poidevin
Wallabies ex-captain and now Bell Potter managing director of corporate broking - Phil Kearns
Wallabies ex-captain and now Centric Wealth CEO - Jason Ball
Dual AFL premiership player and now Macquarie stockbroker - Chris Langford
AFL Hall of Fame Legend and now Newmark Property Group joint managing director - Stuart MacGill
Australian ex-cricketer and now Perrier-Jouet brand ambassador - Brennon Dowrick
World champion gymnast and now high-performance speaker - Stephen Wooldridge
World champion cyclist and now business executive
The premise of the show was to find out what makes them such driven people and how they have adapted their passion and talent from the sporting field to the business world. Click here to watch an edited version of the interviews.
