Episode #4 of 'Retire with Rowdy' has been all about networking. Rowdy has build a successful buisenss all from leveraging off his network and the sporting community. We have all heard it before how important networking is but for some reason or other we just don't do enough of it. 

So instead of trying to explain it, this episode will give you a first sight into a week of Rowdy networking and how this has lead to new business and opportunities.

In week 3 of 'Retire with Rowdy', Chris hits the road to present 5 keynote presentations in a week. In between these presentations, he also filmed a new marketing commercial for a company called My Muscle Chef and some filming for the NRL as a part of the half time entertainment for the upcoming grand final. 

Rowdy also shares some great advice on the power of networking, having clarity and finding the positives with the challenges that you are facing. 

Episode #2 of Retire With Rowdy, Chris reflexes on his last game in the NRL and the wave of emotions he went through as the day and the game came to an end.

Rowdy's hits the ground running with One Wellbeing, after spending the first week of retirement celebrating the year and his career with his teammate. A surprisingly busy week with a number of seminars booked in for him to present his corporate athletes keynotes. He also spent 2 days in strategic meeting with his business partner Leon Keir and their mentor Matt Smith.

A great first insight into Rowdy as a business owner and the steps he is taking to make his transition as seamless as possible.  

Retire With Rowdy is a spin-off series of 'The Be Ready Project' and is the story of 15-year veteran of the Wests Tigers Chris Lawrence (Rowdy) and his transition from the NRL  into his business One Wellbeing.

At the age of 19 Rowdy started One Wellbeing and it is well documented how proactive he has been for the last 15 years preparing for life after sport. Along with his business, Rowdy has also been studying a commerce degree and now walks away from the NRL straight into a full-time role at One Wellbeing.  

To set the scene of Episode #1 it is two days before Rowdy's last game. We speak about how he and his family are feeling, what it is like being at the end, what he is most worried about and what he is most excited about.

An incredible insight and I hope you can come along for the journey. 

Will all the hard work pay off? Only time will tell!

By 2010, James Aubusson had been 18th man in 2 grand finals. He had both the Cowboys and the Titans offering him contracts. So why did James decide to retire from the NRL at age 25? And, potentially, why did this decision set him on a path to success compared to if he had stayed in the NRL?
