#227 Dyson Heppell — Resilience, Leadership and Life Beyond the AFL
Description
This week I’m joined by former Essendon Football Club captain Dyson Heppell, a man whose career has been defined not just by his talent on the field but by his resilience off it.
We dive deep into Dyson’s incredible journey through the highs and lows of AFL, from debuting as a rising star to leading his team through one of the toughest scandals in Australian sport. Dyson opens up about the mindset, leadership and self-awareness it took to stay grounded through years of scrutiny and challenge.
Now stepping into life beyond the game, Dyson shares what’s next for him, including his passion project Haych the Label, a clothing brand built around purpose, sustainability and positive impact.
This conversation is packed with lessons in resilience, identity and redefining success beyond external achievements.
🎧 Listen now to hear us talk about:
- How Dyson stayed mentally strong through the Essendon saga
- The leadership lessons that shaped his career
- Rebuilding identity and purpose after professional sport
- The creation and vision behind Haych the Label
- How mindfulness and gratitude play a role in his everyday life
