In Episode 229, I speak with business-owner, entrepreneur, former professional athlete, and identity whisperer, Evan Kostopoulos. After many years aspiring to be a professional soccer player, Evan discovered the dark side of professional sport, the hard way. After losing his contract, he was lost for many years, just trying many different things, until he finally found himself. When he did, the transition through each step of his journey became more fulfilling and more meaningful. Now he has come to a place where he loves his life and is having a very positive impact on others. This is an essential conversation, for everyone.
Evan Kostopolous was a passionate soccer player with a dream and a vision to make it the highest level. From a young age and from strong Greek heritage background, it was all he wanted to do. He worked hard and made to the highest level in Australia until he discovered the dark side of corruption in the sport. As a consequence, it all came crashing down around him, and was left floundering with no idea what to do next. His identity was wrapped up in his sporting accomplishments, so can imagine what happened when he lost his career in sport.
He was lost for a long time until he started to tap into his inner strengths, his inner identity. He harnessed his resilience, his curiosity, his determination, is persistence and his desire to make a difference and transitioned his through an entrepreneurial journey to found his company, York Hamilton. Now, he has crafted a life with meaning, travel and time to spend with his young family.
This really is a powerful conversation for everyone, as we focus on inner identity, and truly finding you. When you can do that, transitioning out of and into anything is a much simpler and more fulfilling process. This is an inspiring and necessary conversation for every single person.
