    Winning A Premiership But Feeling Empty - Tom Boyd

    Tom Boyd joins us for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on the podcast. From being Pick 1 in the AFL Draft and signing a $7 million deal at 18 to winning a premiership with the Western Bulldogs, Tom opens up on the pressure that came with it all. We spoke about anxiety, insomnia, life after football, mental health in elite sport, relationships, identity and what really matters once the noise disappears. This episode isn’t just about footy. It’s about pressure, purpose and the side of success people don’t always see.
