#123 Daniel Gorringe: The paradoxical make-up of AFL's favourite larrikin

Mar 27, 2024

It's always puzzled me how those who bring us the most laughter often battle the greatest demons.


Dan reinvented himself after an underwhelming AFL career and became one of Australia's most popular podcasters. But reaching this success off the footy field has been a hell of a mental battle. 


We spoke about :

  • Dan's childhood
  • Becoming a no.10 pick in the AFL draft 
  • The struggles in his footy career
  • Hitting rock bottom after retirement
  • Dan's mental health journey
  • Going viral on social media
  • The strategy behind his podcast 'Dan Does Footy' which has been charting no.1 in Australia
  • Imposter syndrome
  • Wanting to revolutionise AFL media
