In this episode David, delves into the concept of disrupting an industry, emphasizing the importance of breaking down the status quo and leveraging personal skills for innovation. Drawing inspiration from entrepreneur Rob Moore, the discussion highlights the significance of belief in oneself and the necessity of acquiring skills through networking, volunteering, and preparation. David shares personal anecdotes from their journey in football and business, illustrating how mistakes and learning experiences contribute to growth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• To disrupt an industry, it's crucial to first believe in your own abilities and ideas. If you don't have confidence in your vision, it will be challenging to convince others to support it.

• Engaging in activities such as volunteering, networking, and attending conferences is essential for developing the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed.

• Proper preparation reduces anxiety and increases the likelihood of success. Being well-prepared allows you to execute your ideas effectively and adapt to unexpected challenges.

• Leveraging your network and learning from those who have experience in your desired field can accelerate your growth.

• Making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process. Embracing failures and using them as opportunities for growth is essential for building confidence and expertise in any industry.

BEST MOMENTS

"Being disruptive means being different. And I think it's so important that what I talk to you about, you can take some advice from and go, yeah, that makes a lot of sense."

"If you don't believe the process is possible, you won't be able to disrupt because no one else is going to believe in disruption."

"You have to show you can't tell in this game, in this life, really. You have to always convince yourself."

"It just means being different. One thing that I think is beautiful in people is that, you know, you have the opportunity now to be whoever you want to be."

"You can be an industry leader in sports psychology, you can be a psychologist at a football club, and you can go from being just a regular psychologist to being the recognised psychologist in football."
