#146:  Bronte Campbell (Swimming) - Purpose, Pressure & Reinventing Yourself

Before Bronte Campbell dives into any topic - swimming, business, identity, she brings something you don’t always expect from a four-time Olympian: clarity. And a rare willingness to unpack the why behind everything she’s learned.In this thoughtful conversation with Chris Titley, Bronte reflects on a surreal year outside the pool, no rigid training blocks, no race calendar, no season markers. Instead, she’s been building Earthletica, her sustainable activewear company, navigating the chaos of startup life, and rediscovering who she is beyond the black line.She shares how elite swimmers balance fierce individuality with team unity, why culture matters even in a sport measured by milliseconds, and how her own leadership style developed through years of representing Australia. Bronte opens up about redefining goals after a nerve injury, shifting from granular process to big-picture identity, and learning to build structure in business the same way she built it in sport.The episode dives into the emotional journey of Olympic highs and lows, the complexity of having a sister in the same sport, and the challenges of transitioning into a new chapter, while leaving the door to LA 2028 slightly open.Her “scoreboard moment” - touching second at trials in 2012 and becoming an Olympian, remains the clearest memory of her life. And her passion for pushing sustainability forward in activewear shows a fierce new competitive drive. 🔗Show notesThis episode was Powered by Swyftx — Where can crypto take you?👉 ⁠https://swyftx.com/about/⁠Join over 1.2m users in Australia and NZThe Do You Budget Segment is powered by PocketSmith.PocketSmith’s got a special offer for Scoreboard listeners: get 50% off your first two months of PocketSmith’s Foundation plan. 👉  ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.pocketsmith.com/scoreboard/⁠More info:📌 More episodes: ⁠⁠www.scoreboardpodcast.com⁠⁠🎥 YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@Scoreboardpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📩 Partnerships: ⁠⁠[email protected]
