Christophe Berra - From football to financial advice - my journey so far

What do footballers do when they retire? Why do they choose what they do? 

Why do some not stay in the game?

I had a great conversation with Christophe Berra about transitioning from football into financial advice and office based life. With 41 Scotland caps to his name, a successful career in England with Wolves and Ipswich as well as being Hearts captain it could have been suspected he would stay in the game.

There were lots of different talking points on how he is finding the change. Interestingly for me, we never called it out during the interview but my main takeaway was the bravery to change career at 40. He identified his transferable skills and hasn’t looked back.

If you are interested in why and what footballers do when their careers come to an end, considering a career change / role pivot or looking for some inspiration this episode is a must.

Thanks again to Christophe for doing this. 

This is also the first episode to be on YouTube so please subscribe, follow the page and check out the interview there.
