#193 - AJ Venter - Former Springbok Back Rower

Author: Alan Nash November 8, 2021 Duration: 1:15:59
Nashy caught up with AJ Venter for a chat on all things rugby. But as always on the show the conversation ranged across a number of topics including Podcasting and Mental Health.

AJ recalls famous on field incidents including the pitch invasion during a match vs the All Blacks when he and Richie McCaw were first on the scene when a pitch invader tackled the ref.

AJ also opens up and discusses his battles with Mental Health following his rugby career and transition into the business world.

An honest conversation from start to finish.

Please excuse a few drops in connection. AJ is based in South Africa and when recording there was a storm brewing outdoors.

Hosted by Alan Nash, better known as Nashy, The GET AFTER IT Family Pod is a conversation series built on the idea that a full life requires equal parts ambition and balance. As an adventure enthusiast and father of three, Nashy brings a unique perspective, exploring how the drive that fuels elite performance can also shape a meaningful family life. The discussions here naturally weave through the worlds of sports, business, and personal growth. You’ll hear from a diverse mix of professional athletes, boundary-pushing entrepreneurs, and other compelling figures who have all learned to get after their goals. But this isn’t just about their public achievements. The conversations often delve into the personal philosophies and daily disciplines that allow these guests to thrive, while also touching on the challenges of maintaining connection and perspective outside of their careers. Each episode feels like an honest chat about pushing limits, whether that’s on a mountain, in a boardroom, or simply at home with loved ones. By sharing stories of calculated risks and intentional living, this podcast offers more than inspiration; it provides practical reflections on integrating passion with responsibility, all through the grounded, relatable lens of a dad who is figuring it out alongside his guests. Tune in for genuine dialogues that challenge the conventional separation between professional hustle and personal fulfillment.
