Medically Retired From the NRL at 27. What Came Next - Matt Srama #83

Matt Srama had nine surgeries in about three years and was medically retired from the NRL at 27. Three shoulder reconstructions, a hip, an ACL, three ankle clean outs. He is direct about what happens when your blueprint stops matching the plan, and about the two things people do next.

Matt Srama founded The Srama Group, a Gold Coast buyers agency now in its fourth year. He was a sales agent at McGrath before that, and played seven years of NRL before that.

What you will learn:

- How he rebuilt an identity that had been entirely one thing, after nine surgeries took it away

- The five questions he asks himself every morning after meditating, including the one about what he will let go of today

- Why he wears the same black outfit every single day

- Technician or manager: why he says being good at the job and being good at the business are two completely different sports

- The three rocks his whole calendar is blocked around, so a week cannot quietly fill up with busywork
