A cricketer's career ended by back fractures. He searched for highest-paying jobs in London, found financial consulting, and started taking contract roles with banks. He then reverse-engineered the entire field to understand what skills and steps actually matter.
So as I then progressed through cricket, that obviously, that steps up like anything else. Then fractured my back twice in two places that brought everything to an abrupt halt. And it was like, well, now my entire identity and everything is, is sport. How do I transition? And it was like a 6 or 8 months, like, I don't know what I'm doing here, but we're going to figure it out. Went on to Google and just typed in highest paying job in London because I was in London. And it was like, well, financial consultants make a lot of money. So I was like, well, I know how to count, so I'm going to figure that out. I love that. Yeah, man, it was literally that simple. I fell into that by accident, landed a couple of contracting gigs. I was like, oh man, I'm actually pretty good at this stuff. Like banks paid me an obscene amount of money to, to fix their problems. And then it was just a case of, okay, well, if I want to be really good at that, how do I reverse engineer it? And what are the processes and the steps that I take?
