AFL Legend, Warwick Capper talks business. No, seriously!

194 194 – AFL legend Warwick Capper talks business. No, seriously!

Warwick Capper was a legend of the Aussie footie field in the 1980’s, and against all the odds, this micro-shorts wearing, mullet adorned footie star has kept himself in the spotlight ever since and is still a household name in Australia. In this week’s somewhat frenetic chat with Warwick, we chat through exactly how he has made his journey to getting paid “6 figures and more and worth every cent” (his words, not mine) to front major marketing campaigns for hotel chains, haircare products, automotive brands, and more besides.

And although Warwick is a massive character who might seem too wacky to have any kind of business head, you certainly can’t be stupid to keep your name on people’s lips for four decades. And I reckon that Warwick could actually teach us all a thing or two about having the confidence to push through and win in business, to seize opportunities as they come along, and to take action every day.

Let’s get into Episode 194 with the man, the legend, Warwick Capper.
