Episode 019: Life Lessons from a Midlife Crash

Damian Cooley is one of the country’s best auctioneers, in fact regarded by many as the best for the past 20 years. He joins the podcast to share how he completely reset his life after a period of personal and professional turmoil. We talk auctions, the property market, and unpack how his habits, lifestyle and health have driven his comeback. He speaks openly about the link between how he feels physically and how he performs professionally, and how getting that right changed everything. Beyond property, we get into the reality of separation and loss, and what it really means to show up as a present father. It’s a raw, honest conversation about where real fulfilment and legacy actually come from.
