  • Summary

  • In this episode of Proper True Yarn, Knuckles sits down with Wallabies legend Adam Ashley-Cooper, a man whose career spanned two decades and took him to rugby’s highest peaks. Adam reflects on his transition from professional athlete to navigating the world of tech startups, discussing everything from his time as a world champion in the U.S. to the challenge of redefining his identity after retirement.

    The conversation takes a deep dive into what it’s like to step away from the game, the bonds of camaraderie that rugby players miss, and how podcasting unexpectedly pulled him back into the rugby world. Adam also shares some hilarious stories, including being recognized while zipping around Melbourne on a Lime scooter—proof that the podcasting world has brought a whole new wave of recognition.

    This episode is packed with insights on the ups and downs of life after sport, the power of networking, and the relentless pursuit of self-improvement. Whether you’re a rugby fan, an aspiring entrepreneur, or just someone looking for some good yarns, Adam’s journey will leave you inspired.
