The second episode of WoWcrowd led by Garry Lyon, former Captain of Melbourne Football Club and awarded media personality aired on Wednesday 9 December.
Viewers were given a glimpse into Lyon’s journey to football stardom, foray into writing – including the very popular children’s book series Specky McGee; alongside his blooming career in media.
Lyon spoke about young footballers as prime candidates for advice, and how their need for financial direction at the beginning of their career was not realised until much later on; leaving at least ten or so years where they could’ve started growing their wealth with better planning and guidance.
He described his relationship with his adviser as familial, “I wouldn’t make a decision without consulting with my adviser. He invested in me and my family, and that’s what won me over. He got to know me and understand me to a level that left me in really good stead.” Lyon puts his greatest achievement down to his sons and the relationship he has with them. He was able to enjoy being a devoted father as he was confident that his financial world was always in good hands.
