In Episode 24 of The Steak Lad Experience, I had the pleasure of speaking with Majak Daw. Majak Daw is a former AFL player footballer who played for the North Melbourne/Melbourne football clubs between 2011 and 2020. Anyone listening will likely know that Majak been through a number of eye opening mental health battles which he was grateful enough to provide an insight to during our discussion. We also touched on the immense love he has for his child Hendrix, the power of practicing gratitude, what he misses most looking back on his AFL career, his ongoing journey to finding his purpose and much more. Funnily enough I am a North Melbourne tragic and have fond memories of the great man tearing it up in his prime, so to have the chance to sit down with Majak a real treat!!! To anyone listening, this conversation references and discusses suicide. If this is triggering, please contact lifeline on 13 11 14.

AFL: Former Kangaroo and Melbourne player Majak Daw has retired from the AFL.
Today's SBF podcast talks a look at the Richmond/Geelong classic (0:56) that took place in Round 15 and the fallout for Tom Stewart (3:26), the Large Fry's and Coke's performance on the weekend (4:59), Bradley Beal's upcoming free agency decision (7:50), the most intriguing restricted free agents (10:09) and the end of Majak Daw's memorable AFL career (13:20). Enjoy! ✌️
From AFL stardom to attempting to take his own life, Majak Daw’s is a football story like no other. Born in Sudan, Majak Daw fled to Egypt with his family when he was only eight years old. When they were eventually able to make a new life for themselves in Melbourne’s south-west, Majak for the first time found where he belonged: playing footy. Drafted as a raw prospect by North Melbourne, Majak’s explosiveness and athleticism were undeniable, and when his dream of playing in the AFL came true in 2013, he became a media sensation overnight. But on top of this unprecedented scrutiny, he was expected to be a role model for migrant youth and to speak for his entire community. While from the outside Majak appeared to stand tall in the face of this pressure, as well as vicious racial vilification and crushingly bad luck with injuries, behind the scenes he was struggling. Depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse and the fear of becoming a father were tearing him apart from the inside. At his wit’s end, feeling like there was nowhere else to turn, Majak made the decision to end it all by jumping off the Bolte Bridge. But his story didn’t end there. Miraculously, he survived the 25-metre plunge into the icy Yarra River. Despite suffering horrific hip and pelvis injuries, Majak had been given a second chance at life, and he was determined to make the most of it. Embarking on a brutal rehabilitation program, he defied the odds and returned to play AFL footy, including a dazzling comeback game that many had thought impossible. The focus of this one-on-one episode with Majak and Byron is helping others to overcome challenges. Through Majak's experience, so many valuable lessons can be learned.

Daniel Currie is a former AFL player for the Sydney, North Melbourne and Gold Coast Football Club's. Daniel is one of my close friends, so it is really nice to share this with others and display his humility, genuineness and positive attitude.As you’ll come to learn from this chat if you don’t already know Daniel’s story, he endured an AFL career that didn’t have much luck along the way, nor does it reflect the level of persistence, commitment and professionalism he displayed through his career that spanned 10 years and returned him 10 games in that time.It is a great story and experience for others to learn a lot from about facing adversity, continuing to show up and be the best version of yourself regardless of the situation or circumstance, and that although you have big intentions and hopes of achieving great things, you don't always get to choose your story, but you can control your response and reactions to it which is exactly how Daniel approached it.Daniel holds a record I’m sure he wishes he didn’t, that being the longest to make his AFL debut after being drafted. It took Daniel eight years, two AFL clubs, a delisting and a stint in the SANFL and living in three different states to be selected for his first game. That in itself says something about his determination to chase his dream, to control what he could, to see situations as challenges to overcome rather than road blocks, to continue to move forward and not dwell and most importantly, his character and the regard he is held in within the AFL industry for his remarkable resilience.Throughout this episode, we discuss his long and arduous journey, beginning his AFL career in Sydney whilst still completing his year 12 studies in Melbourne, being delisted, the frustrations of being 2nd in line to Todd Goldstein, one of the AFL’s most durable ruckman and arguably the competitions best ruckman still today, the process of rehab and facing multiple stints on the sideline through injury and his mindset and positive attitude that remained throughout his career despite the outcomes and reward not reflecting the investment and effort he was putting in.Please enjoy this open and insightful conversation with Daniel Currie.
