We chat about being at the top of the game, life changing moments in urinals, chopping wood (surprisingly funny), riding, public scrutiny, charity work and FightMND, his famous gotcha calls, his drive plus plenty more.
As Matt says, often in life when something doesn’t go to plan, in the moment it can feel awful but with a bit of time, we can look back at those moments in a different light. He says no one remembers the time when everything goes perfectly, it’s always the fuck ups, war stories, the humiliation etc, where a great laugh and experience can eventuate. It’s an important reminder for all of us that these experiences, while painful, are not a failure, rather with time they can end up being a really good story, positive learning experience and hopefully (with some) laughter. As Matt says, with time it’s not a failure, it’s a laugh.
