Dan Carter: How to Build Unbreakable Mental Strength

Maro and Leon are joined by one of the greatest rugby players of all time on this week’s Power & Purpose Podcast – All Blacks legend Dan Carter. Dan opens up about his incredible leadership journey: from a five-year-old dreaming of the black jersey, to becoming the All Blacks’ all-time great points scorer and a double Rugby World Cup winner. We dive into how he discovered his purpose, why “pressure is a privilege”, the red-head vs blue-head mindset that helped the All Blacks win back-to-back World Cups, and what really changed after that brutal 2007 quarter-final. Dan also shares the story behind missing the 2011 World Cup final, how he rebuilt himself to deliver a fairytale 2015, the power of team culture over individual brilliance, and how he’s now using his influence for social impact through his foundations and his book The Art of Winning. It was an honour having Dan on the podcast – if you enjoyed the episode, make sure you leave a like, follow/subscribe, and let us know in the comments who you’d like to see on future episodes!
