About this episode

Luke Darcy discusses the influences on his life and career, including leadership and personal growth after football.

[Watch the episode here] Western Bulldogs great Luke Darcy joins us for a conversation about the people, moments and experiences that have shaped his life both on and off the field. From growing up with a father who deeply influenced his outlook on life, to leadership, family, business and navigating life after football, Luke reflects on the lessons he’s carried through every chapter. We also unpack the injury that changed the course of his AFL career, how it affected him at the time, and the perspective it ultimately gave him moving forward. This is a thoughtful, honest and light-hearted conversation around identity, growth, high performance and what really matters once the noise of footy settles.
