    Loved Listening to Fev pour his heart out about his life, how he gambled and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars then twice during deep parts of interview you get interrupted by gambling ads. Then as pod finished another gambling ad.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Justin Leppitsch: “I Wasn’t Ready to Be a Senior Coach”
Q: What was the plan if both got sacked?
We joked about it, but the plan was basically to support each other and navigate whatever came next, including potentially working together again or pursuing different paths.
Robert “Dipper” DiPierdomenico: The Man Behind the AFL Legend | Shaped
Q: Talk about the shift from DiPierdomenico the footballer to DiPierdomenico the human and leader off the field.
The transition is about accepting that you're more than your on-field persona, learning to love yourself and to let that love guide how you support others, which in turn fuels your work, family, and future ventures.
Robert “Dipper” DiPierdomenico: The Man Behind the AFL Legend | Shaped
Q: 89 Grand Final—what was that moment like, given the stakes and the injury you carried into the game?
It was a grinding, do-or-die moment where adrenaline carried you through, and at the end you're reminded of why you play—because the team and the moment demand everything you've got.
Kamdyn McIntosh: Resilience, Richmond & Reinventing Life After Football
Q: How has your football career influenced your approach to running a construction business and managing a team on site?

Kamdyn McIntosh: Resilience, Richmond & Reinventing Life After Football
Q: What was it like missing out on the 2019 AFL Grand Final and how did you cope with that moment?
