Podcast appearances and mentions of Luke Darcy

Timmy Bristow was nine years old when he ruptured his pancreas playing footy at recess, crawled to the tap, and waited alone in a dark staffroom until his mum finished her shift. By the time she arrived he was blue. A few hours later he was on an ambulance plane to the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne with a thirty percent chance of surviving surgery. While Timmy was in hospital, of the young AFL players who showed up on the ward to help cheer up the young patient was… Luke Darcy. But in that moment - neither of them could have possibly known they'd end up here, having this conversation today. Timmy grew up in country Victoria, excelled on the sporting field, and for twenty-one years carried the secret that he'd been sexually abused by someone in a position of authority and trust - in an institution that covered it up. He held it through his teens, through footy, through becoming a husband and a father. Until his sister said she'd tell their parents herself if he didn't. In this conversation on Empowering Leaders, Timmy and Luke talk about what that silence cost and what breaking the silence felt like. They talk about the 28.5% of Australian children who will experience sexual abuse before they turn eighteen, about Timmy’s mammoth effort to run seven marathons in seven states in seven days for Bravehearts, and about what Timmy has built on the other side of all of it - an incredible school he leads the way he wished he'd been led, a personal philosophy of connection, vulnerability and consistency, and a refusal to become a statistic.

When Lexi Edmondson walked down to Bondi Beach to celebrate finishing her master's degree, she had no idea her life was about to change forever. What began as a summer evening by the water for hundreds of people became one of Australia's most devastating acts of violence - and Lexi ran towards it. In her most in-depth interview since the December attack, Lexi sits down with Luke Darcy to take us inside the night itself. She talks about the chaos, the moment her training kicked in, and about how the iconic Bondi community responded in the aftermath. Lexi shares the healing power of reconnecting with the people she helped, and the extraordinary gesture from Rabbi Levi Wolf and the Jewish community that brought everyone together. Armed with fresh surf lifesaving training and sheer instinct, Lexi and fellow volunteer Jimmy McIntosh became part of the community of first responders who helped treat and carry 60 people to safety that night. In the days that followed - amid the grief, the trauma processing, and the slow work of rebuilding - Lexi and Jimmy fell in love. In the six months since Lexi has been able to identify what a tragedy like the deadly Bondi attack can strip away - the corporate ambitions, the performative rituals of modern dating, the conditions we place on living fully. Lexi shares why she has walked away from a path she thought she wanted, returned to clinical practice to help people one-on-one, and said yes to a relationship that moved at the speed of life. Plus: the ChatGPT proposal fail, the ring they promised not to buy (and then bought!), and the moment Lexi's mum clocked Jimmy before Lexi even had a chance. Lexi speaks beautifully about the importance of community, finding courage, championing feminine leadership, and finding the light when everything feels so dark. Learn. Lead. Collaborate.

What separates the leaders and athletes who perform under pressure from those who crack? According to Dr Phil Hopley, it comes down to one overlooked discipline: daily recovery. Phil is a consultant psychiatrist and one of the world's leading experts in mental performance. Through Cognacity - the specialist psychology organisation he leads - Phil has worked inside elite sport, global boardrooms and high-performance teams across Premier League football, Formula One, rugby and Olympic sport. His organisation was the appointed specialist team for the London Olympics and Paralympics. In this conversation with Luke Darcy, Phil unpacks the science behind sustainable high performance, the hidden cost of distracted working, and why the greatest predictor of long-term leadership success isn't intelligence or ambition - it's self-awareness. Phil explains the "tipping point" that separates productive pressure from burnout, shares what Kenyan distance runners can teach every corporate leader about recovery, and reveals the Big Five personality assessment his team uses to identify high-risk hires before catastrophic cultural damage is done. He also talks in-depth about building psychological safety, dialling up kindness in competitive environments, and why the greatest leader in his own life is his 90-year-old father. Learn. Lead.

The AFL dream ended in tears at 20. A decade later, he was lifting the World Test Championship. Alex Carey's journey to becoming one of Australian cricket's most trusted performers is one of the sporting world’s great second-act stories. A talented junior who played both codes at a high level, Alex took a chance on AFL and moved to Sydney as one of the GWS Giants' foundation players - only to be let go with barely 24 hours' notice. Back in Adelaide, he drifted through a football pre-season and a stint in finance before a quiet conversation with the South Australian Cricket Association gave him one more shot. He almost didn't take it. He nearly quit that too. But he didn’t and what came next … is all part of Alex’s incredible story. In this episode, Luke Darcy and Alex Carey hit: Growing up in a sporting household and the father who shaped his values The AFL dream, and the brutal moment it was taken away How two delistings and a finance job led him back to cricket… and eventually to Test cricket The 2023 Ashes 'spirit of the game' incident at Lord's: online threats, mental battles, and what he'd do differently Working with performance psychologist Ben Crowe, and the value of having someone outside the system Fatherhood, sacrifice, and how he and wife Eloise make it all work Learn.

Jakara Anthony is Australia's most successful Winter Olympian…ever. A two-time Olympic gold medallist in mogul skiing, she's the first Australian to defend an Olympic title, doing it on the world stage against competitors from countries where skiing is practically a birthright. And she's 27. In this conversation with Luke Darcy, Jakara pulls back the curtain on what being that successful actually takes. The four-year Olympic cycles planned down to the finest detail. The mental side of the sport that can't be measured or counted in reps. The broken collarbone in the lead-up to her second gold. The fear every time she drops in. And the coach she's worked with since she was 12 years old who she credits as the greatest leader in her life. Jakara gives a masterclass in performance, resilience, and what it means to do hard things consistently… even when it's uncomfortable. 04:20 What it means to be in a club of her own06:04 The four-year Olympic cycle - how it all gets planned08:21 Dropping in - what's going through her mind at the top of the course09:27 The edge - why consistency separates her from the field10:19 Carrying the target - defending Olympic gold at Milano Cortina11:12 Beating the Europeans at their own sport12:10 What she's found in herself at 2712:54 The hard things - fear, the mental game, and learning to cope14:33 Advice for young people who want to push themselves15:31 What's next - planning for the French Alps in 203016:38 What keeps her balanced outside the sport18:00 The curiosity rabbit hole - coffee, latte art & sustainable performance18:57 Her mantra - "be where your feet are"20:02 Sponsorship & who's backing Australia's greatest Winter Olympian22:42 Greatest leader in her life - coach Pete McNiel Learn.

Recorded live at Adelaide Oval in front of a packed Aleda Connect audience during one of the most talked-about weekends in Australian sport, South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas sits down with Luke Darcy for a rich and candid conversation. In this episode, he reflects on: What it actually means to lead at the highest level The difference between authentic leadership and the kind people see straight through Why compassion in political leadership is mistaken for weakness and why he thinks the opposite is true What it looks like to build a small circle of people brave enough to tell you you're completely wrong. The Premier also talks about the discipline required to stay focused on big-picture vision when crises are landing on your desk every single day… from child protection to hospital systems to policing. He shares a defining leadership miscalculation that taught him to trust his instincts. And he makes a brilliant case that in a world of uncertainty, the leader's job isn't to commentate the problem… it's to Make. The. Call. And... there's also the story behind his now-legendary "Trump-style" negotiation tactic deployed in front of the AFL commission. That one you'll have to hear for yourself. Gather Round.

Browny shares what he did at the gym today, then the boys discuss their top news headlines of the week - including a trampoline on top of a car, and buying a BBL team. Howie got clickbaited by an article about Luke Darcy, and Chief got dudded by Chat GPT. Chief brings back his movie monologues, and Browny shares a story from the sauna. The boys reveal their most lavish purchases, Chief has a song lyrics quiz, Browny's son had an intense junior sport tryout, and the Health Hotline discusses Ozempic. After a quick preview of the weekend's action, Damo reveals a brewing media war between two top-notch footy journos, then the boys look at the tension between St KIlda and Brisbane, and the macabre interest in Essendon vs North Melbourne. Browny shares his top 5 failed sporting innovations, Howie believes a fellow commentator is selling himself short, and Australia has a jam-packed test cricket schedule this summer. Triple M Footy's Friday Huddle is Mark Howard, Jason Dunstall, Nathan Brown, and Damian Barrett.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Luke Darcy sits down with Luke Tunnecliffe - a man who has spent most of his career behind the scenes shaping the biggest moments in Australian sport and media. From walking into Collingwood at 17 to decades in the Triple M Footy chair and building JamTV alongside Eddie McGuire, Luke is a steady hand. A connector. A storyteller. He’s been in rooms with Usain Bolt. Backstage with John Farnham. In Shane Warne’s man cave while Ed Sheeran played DJ. But this conversation isn’t really about any of that. It’s about Jack. Luke and his wife Amy are raising three children, including their son Jack, who is nonverbal and autistic. Unwilling to accept treatment with no promise of positive change, they have spent years trying to understand what might help, and how to hold a family together when life doesn’t look the way you thought it would. Luke speaks honestly about the strain - the financial weight, the exhaustion, the impact on siblings, the friendships that fall away and the ones that step up. He talks about the way music became a lifeline for Jack. And how in one extraordinary moment, Ed Sheeran sat with his guitar beneath the MCG and sang to him - calming him in a way few others could. And then came a treatment plan that has changed everything. While there’s still a long journey ahead, the treatment has already led to the moment that Luke will hold onto for the rest of his life - Jack putting his arms around his neck and saying the three words he’d been waiting years to hear. This is an episode about resilience, fatherhood, mateship - and what it feels like when hope slowly starts to return. This conversation reflects Luke and his family’s personal experience.

Howie, Chief, Browny, and Damo are up and about, kicking things off with their favourite headlines from the week - including a bizarre interview with a Finnish soccer player, and the potential ramifications of BBL Privatisation. Chief's Slaughterhouse makes its grand return in 2026, as he takes down a recent ranking of the World's Best Cities. Then Jackson Warne is in studio to talk about an interview he did with a global music superstar. Howie brings back a long lost TV show to test how much the boys know about supermarket prices, and he has some mail on a recent sportsman's night featuring two Huddle members. Chief puts the boys through a sports quiz, they talk about their worst wardrobe malfunctions, and Browny's Health Hotline has a slogan - Health is Wealth. Jack Gunston's status as one of the great modern forwards leads into a debate about St Kilda's off-season recruiting, then Luke Darcy calls in to the show he once hosted - as we find out what he's been up to, and if misses the boys. Browny puts some iconic commentary on display with his top 5, and there's a been an explosive media war between two footy influencers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it actually take to perform at the highest level - not just once, but across a career? Luke Darcy sits down with Cate Campbell, four-time Olympic gold medallist and one of the most respected voices in Australian sport. Cate doesn't just talk about the wins. She reflects on the dream she and her sister Bronte cooked up as children in Malawi, the surreal experience of becoming an Olympian at 16, and what it meant to carry the Australian flag at Tokyo. But she also goes somewhere far more honest - into the parts of elite sport that rarely make the highlight reel: identity, failure, body image, team culture, and what it means to figure out who you are when the sport that shaped you is finally over. Cate also shares what real resilience looks like, why the most powerful shift in Swimming Australia was moving from valuing performance to valuing people, and the three pieces of advice she'd give any young person chasing a dream. Cate and Bronte recently launched their podcast, Campbells and Co. Check it out here. We are privileged to have Cate as part of our Aleda Connect community.

Are we paying enough attention to our young men? Do we know how to raise healthy, confident young men in the world we live in? Luke Darcy sits down with Scott Galloway, professor at NYU Stern, entrepreneur, bestselling author and host of the wildly successful Prof G and Pivot podcasts. In this conversation on Empowering Leaders, Luke and Scott explore the pressures facing young men right now and why the path to adulthood seems harder than it once was. Scott reflects on the role his mother played in shaping his life, why learning to handle rejection has served him so well, and how becoming a father completely shifted his sense of purpose. He shares why boys need strong role models around them now more than ever, reminds us why empathy matters more in leadership than many people realise, and why learning to recover from failure might be one of the most important life skills we can develop. You’ll also hear about Scott’s upcoming plans for his huge Resist & Unsubscribe movement, his disappointment in most big tech companies at this time and his belief that sometimes the most powerful thing individuals can do is simply choose not to participate. Scott, authentic as always, offers the kind of leadership our next generation may need most. Learn. Lead. Collaborate. Start your leadership journey today.

Luke Darcy is a Western Bulldogs star in his own right and a former high profile media star to boot. These days though, it is being dad to the AFL's hottest property - Sam Darcy - that is shaping his media appearances. But wait, there's more. Sam's eighteen year old brother Will has been drafted to the red, white and blue as well. Food Bytes dragged Luke away from his parental duties to chat about his life, his dubious kitchen skills, the food that is his kyrptonite and a media career that crossed paths with Sarah's in the early hours of weekday mornings on Triple M's Hot Breakfast with Eddie McGuire, where even the coffee was special.

On this episode of Empowering Leaders, Luke Darcy sits down with one of the greatest figures in world hockey, dual Olympic gold medallist and champion coach Alyson Annan. Alyson reflects on her journey from superstar player to leading the Dutch and now Chinese women’s national teams, and why she never once thought of herself as “the best in the world” - even though she was! She shares the deceptively simple goals that drove her playing career, and how curiosity has become the secret to sustaining performance over decades. Luke and Alyson explore what high-performance sport can teach business about recovery, emotional connection and celebrating success, and why leaders should spend more time observing their people rather than filling every moment with instruction. Alyson also opens up about growing up fast, parenting in youth sport, and why learning Chinese has transformed her understanding of communication and trust. Alyson delivers a masterclass in leadership, language and humility as one of the most respected coaches in global sport.

In this wide-ranging conversation with Luke Darcy on Empowering Leaders, Dan reflects on what he’s carried from diplomacy into sport, why building memorable experiences matters more than metrics, and how relationships remain at the heart of leadership even in an AI-driven world. He shares stories of learning from bad bosses, the loneliness of leadership, and the communication trick he swears by - the magic of three. Dan offers so much insight into what it really takes to lead with curiosity and connection across industries.

They stick to the status quo and continue on the treadmill of the daily grind. But what really is purpose and what's stopping us pursuing it? What limiting factors are bubbling away behind our masks?
