In Episode 42 of The Steak Lad Experience, I sat down with current AFL player, Matt Owies. Matt was recently traded to the West Coast Eagles after a 72 game career with the Carlton Football Club, a process which was unfortunately clouded with controversy and spoken about in detail throughout our chat. Despite this, the experience has given him a new perspective and the opportunity to establish himself as a key player within a new club. Expect to take out of this conversation the impact the above had on Matt's mindset throughout the 2024 season, the positives/negatives of intense overthinking, why it is always best to open up about how you are feeling, whether chasing perfection should be the ultimate goal, the importance of being aware of your strengths/weaknesses and much more.

Anthony “Kouta” Koutoufides is a former award winning AFL player and a Carlton Football Club legend, playing over 270 games for the club. Anthony was often referred to as the ‘Prototype of the Modern Footballer' as he was notably athletic and versatile, allowing him to play almost every position throughout his career.Koutoufides – who insisted he was independent and not in any way aligned with the Liberal Party – said he was committed to bringing Melbourne “back alive”.“Where are the people? People don't come in. It's too hard. It's not enticing,” he said.He said he was also familiar with adversity. In his footy career, he underwent a 10-day “torture camp” at which he cried nearly every day.“I had to endure quite a bit, but if you have that goal and love for it, you push through,” he said.One of Koutoufides' primary policies is to take on the work-from-home culture and force CBD-based employees back into the office at least four days a week.Deborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3TQjCspxcrSi4yw2YugxBkBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1365850

It depends where you live, but football where I grew up in Melbourne was the AFL, the Australian football League and the team I followed from the age of 13 was the Carlton Football Club. My best friend insisted I change teams to Carlton as she was a fanatical fan & volunteered to teach me everything she knew about the players, their numbers & the club! How could I say no. Now, today I'm super excited as we have one of the champions of the club from the 90's & early 2000's on the show, Anthony Koutoufides. Kouta as he is affectionately known by all of his friends and fans played 278 games for the Carlton Football Club in Australia between 1992 and 2007. He is a premiereship winner, gained AFL‘s Australian selection twice, won the clubs best of fairest players awards & captained the team between 2004 and 2007. He is certainly of those memorable champion players and what makes Kouta really stand out, and why invited him on the show today is that he truly has a mindset that is just as strong as his physical state and that is really the key difference that takes you to the next level as an elite sports person as a professional football player & athlete. He's taking the skills that he's learned during the game into his life today and continues to lead and inspire others with all of the lessons that he's had during his career. In this conversation we talk about: the mental aspect of being an elite athlete some of the challenges he had early on in his career what it meant for someone to believe in him and his talents the sacrifices he made to get to reach the biggest goals he had sent for himself and he gives other aspiring athletes some really incredible advice to follow in his footsteps and achieve greatness and you don't need to be an athlete to take on this advice because it really can apply to all of us. I love this conversation with Kouta (#43 Jersey) and the stories that he shared during this chat. -- To connect with us at Guide Your Light Network, visit www.guideyourlightnetwork.com or email info@guideyourlightnetwork.com **CLICK HERE TO BOOK A FREE DISCOVERY CALL ** -- Join our Instagram communities here: Instagram (@maritza_barone) Instagram (@thingsyoucantunhear) Leave us a voice note and tell us - what was the biggest thing you could not un-hear from hearing this episode?

Sam Newman, Mike Sheahan and Don Scott - 'You Cannot Be Serious'
The Carlton Football Club recruited Nicholls from the Maryborough Football Club in 1957 after recruiting his elder brother, Don, the previous year their father ensured that both brothers would play together at one club. Don played 77 senior games as a centreman for Carlton from 1956, when he was Carlton's best first-year player, to 1961. Nicholls enjoyed an outstanding season in 1966, winning his second consecutive Robert Reynolds Trophy, and finishing second in the Brownlow Medal count, four votes behind St Kilda champion Ian Stewart. Success as captain-coach In his first year as captain-coach, Nicholls led the Blues to the minor premiership with 18 wins and a draw, followed by Richmond with 18 wins. 1972 was the first season in which the McIntyre "Final Five" system was used, and so because Carlton finished on top of the ladder, this meant that they had a week's break before facing Richmond in the Second Semi-final. The match was drawn, which in those days meant that a replay was required the following week, thus shifting every other match back another week. Richmond won the replay by 41 points, but in the post-match interviews Nicholls refused to panic: Carlton has not hit a form slump. We just had a dismal day – our worst for the season. There'll be no panic just because we went down by 41 points. There won't be more than one or two changes. We will be sticking to the same players because it was, they who put us where we finished at the end of the home-and-away games. I know the players will redeem themselves next week. We just won't beat St. Kilda – we will win well. And if we team together as I know we can I know we are good enough to take the premiership. Robert Walls who was serving as vice-captain, recalled that the day after the semi-final defeat, the players arrived at training feeling flat, but Nicholls revealed to them the outline of his plan to win the premiership with all-out attacking football. But first, Carlton had to defeat St Kilda in the Preliminary Final. The Saints had played in the previous year's Grand Final and still boasted a strong team. Nicholls chose not to implement his plan, trusting that his players would get the job done. The Blues prevailed by 16 points and earned the right to redeem themselves against their arch-rival. Richmond went into the Grand Final as clear favourites, but this would be the day when Nicholls established once and for all his reputation as one of the greats of the game. The element of surprise in Nicholls' plan lay in his team selection; he handed the rucking responsibilities to "Percy" Jones, whilst stationing himself in the forward pocket with the intent of kicking goals. He also deployed Barry Armstrong in the centre while Vin Waite was given the task of minding Barry Richardson. Finally, in the lead-up to the match, Nicholls had given his players three simple instructions: get to the ball first, kick long into attack and contest for 100 minutes. The plan succeeded in the most spectacular fashion possible. In an enthralling spectacle of attacking football from both teams, Carlton piled on the goals to lead at half time with an incredible score of 18.6 (114) to 10.9 (69). The shell-shocked Tigers tried to claw their way back into the game, but every goal they scored was met with a Carlton reply. When the final siren sounded, Carlton had registered a record score of 28.9 (177) while Richmond's score of 22.18 (150), enough to win most games, remains the highest losing score in a Grand Final. While every Carlton player contributed, Nicholls himself had a field day, kicking six goals on Ray Boyanich. He said afterwards that had he not kicked six, he felt he would have failed in the position. Walls, who also kicked six goals, was nominated best on ground. Stung by their defeat, Richmond didn't have to wait long to avenge their humiliation as the two rivals squared off again in the following season's Grand Final. On a hot and blustery day, Richmond prevailed in a match that would be remembered for two major incidents. The first occurred at the three-minute mark of the first quarter, when Nicholls was sensationally felled by Richmond back pocket Laurie Fowler while juggling a mark. Both players had their eyes on the ball and didn't see each other until it was too late. Fowler, who was airborne, hit Nicholls with his shoulder and emerged from the collision unscathed, but Nicholls went to ground and had to be helped to his feet by the club trainers. The sight of their fallen leader stunned the Carlton players; Robert Walls recalled that "[t]here was a bit of disbelief when Nicholls went down because we'd never seen the big bloke hurt like that before." Nicholls was awarded a 15-metre penalty, and goaled from the free kick, but suffered double vision from the collision, and had little further impact on the game. The second incident came in the second quarter, when Ian Stewart kicked the ball deep into Richmond's attacking zone to a contest involving Carlton full-back Geoff Southby and Richmond forward Neil Balme. What happened next would sour Carlton's already bitter relations with Richmond for many years. Going for the ball after it spilled off a pack contest, Southby was floored by a round-arm punch from Balme. The hit broke Southby's jaw, and he would not return to the field after half time. Just moments later, Balme would lash out again, this time at Vin Waite. Reflecting on the incident many years later, Nicholls angrily labelled Balme a "cheat": I didn't respect him as a player because I reckon he was a cheat. He used to dwell on players and with his big, strong frame, he should have been doing more courageous things. People over the years say Balmey knocked a couple out, but he basically king-hit people.

A self-made entrepreneur and problem solver who started handdii with her co-founder Kathryn Wood.After working as an executive in the construction industry, building deep experience and broad industry relationships, Christie saw an opportunity to use technology to improve the way customers connect with contractors when they are making property insurance claims.This is how handdii was born as a three-way digital platform, combining insurance, construction and contractors, where contractors can easily connect, engage and promote their businesses. KEY TAKEAWAYS I am a high-energy business leader who loves solving problems and creating exciting solutions that transform people's lives. After working as an executive in the construction industry, building deep experience and broad industry relationships, I saw an opportunity to use technology to improve the way customers connect with contractors when they are making property insurance claims, making it quicker, faster, and cheaper for insurers, clients, and tradespeople. We're just at the starting line, there's so much opportunity ahead. I think the early innovation in our sector has been pretty straightforward. How do we buy faster, make things convenient, streamline processes and save cost? Quite a lot of separate practical solutions. For example, right now, there are many inspection tools and solutions an insurance company would use – virtual inspections, drones, AI, and they might actually use various tools all at once. Our vision is to make small property claims amazing. The industry has a cumbersome process for property claims with multiple people and approvals involved designed for large losses. This process is not designed to fast-track small claims, and moreover, the major suppliers to the insurance industry would prefer not to handle small claims. So, my Co-Founder and I set out to change that! Handdii is a really practical solution to a common problem. Any Claims leader can see the opportunity in their portfolio to improve how small claims are managed. We're really focused on our niche, and when we partner with an insurer, we make it easy to work with us. Our team has a solid property claims background, reflected in the product and program we have built. This makes it easy for the insurer to work with us because we speak their language and understand their challenges while having the speed and the money to be an innovative partner creating solutions for them. BEST MOMENTS‘My experience also includes being Executive of Carlton Football Club as the General Manager of Business Development introducing unique revenue streams, the creation of Carlton Respects program against family violence and Blue Skies program supporting diversity and inclusion in the inaugural year of AFLW.'‘I think the future of innovation will become more and more integrated into our lives, activities, and systems. Bringing all of these different solutions together, then once that efficiency is achieved, we'll look to bring innovation to achieve more purposeful outcomes around sustainability, inclusion, and prosperity.'‘COVID has made some things much easier and others more challenging. For example, onboarding contractors, meeting via video rather than in person, has streamlined how quickly we have expanded our contractor network across multiple states this year. Whereas meeting new insurance companies is more challenging, we are certainly happy the in-person conferences are kicking off again now.'‘When working with large enterprises, be patient, be persistent, be astute commercially – if you're bringing great value, hold your line on your cost.' ABOUT THE GUESTChristie Downs: I am a high-energy business leader who loves solving problems and creating exciting solutions that transform people's lives and work. After working as an executive in the construction industry, building deep experience and broad industry relationships, I saw an opportunity to use technology to improve the way customers connect with contractors when they are making property insurance claims, making it quicker, faster, and cheaper for insurers, clients, and tradespeople. I made the leap to entrepreneurship in 2018, starting handdii with Kathryn Wood.handdii is a three-way platform where contractors can easily connect, engage and promote their businesses, insurers experience reduced cost, and both and customers find their property insurance repairs are easier and cheaper to organize with better results.My core career experience of ten years was as group sales director and board member of the national construction company, Johns Lyng Group, ASX listed as JLG. I played a lead role in the national expansion and exponential revenue growth of the group, from $12 million in 2004 to $350 million in 2015. During this experience, I saw first-hand the problems people had with getting repairs done, often after stressful situations, and experienced fantastic contractors who ran great businesses.My experience also includes being the Executive of Carlton Football Club as the General Manager of Business Development, introducing unique revenue streams, the creation of the Carlton Respects program against family violence, and the Blue Skies program supporting diversity and inclusion in the inaugural year of AFLW.I am passionate about contributing to society and was Chair of Starball Committee Sydney for 3 years, raising more than USD $1 million for Starlight Children's Foundation.I love to share my experiences and learnings with #public speaking on the value of diversity and inclusion, starting your own venture, and how the insurtech industry is evolving. About handdii: Having worked as a Director of a Construction company in the Insurance industry for 10 years, I know customer satisfaction in property claims is very low. This is because the traditional fulfillment process is complicated and takes 60 days on average to get a property repaired. Yet, 80% of property claims are small and only require 1 or 2 trades.For this 80% of small claims, handdii dramatically improves the customer experience by pairing the customer with the trade they need to assist in claim determination and complete works immediately. Cutting claim life from 2 months to 1 week.handdii makes workflow easy for trades through pre-agreed rates, opt-in scheduling, automated processing, and payment. Minimizing these friction points empowers the trades to focus on providing quality work and an awesome customer experience.For insurance companies, handdii can provide claim lodgement and allocation, save 25% in claims cost and enable digital transformation for property claims. A significant positive impact on customer satisfaction (NPS) will lead to new customer acquisition and further product opportunities. https://www.handdii.com/ ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur.
