From Athlete to CEO: Tony McGrath's Transformative Journey on The Funky Brain Business Podcast

For me, I pretty much had to be stripped of everything to understand what any of that means to me and start to redefine what success looks like and what life should look like and what purpose looks like.
What happens when an athlete turns CEO? Tony McGrath's life is a testament to resilience and adaptability. In this episode of The Funky Brain Business Podcast, Dennis Berry sits down with Tony McGrath, the CEO of The Grand, a theatre company in Alberta, Canada, and a founding partner of Technique Adjustment Consulting (TAC).
With forty years of diverse experiences under his belt—from being a banker and soldier to an entrepreneur and corporate executive—Tony's story is one of constant evolution and learning. Tony opens up about the highs and lows that have shaped his journey. He talks about the pivotal moments that made him rethink what success means and how he discovered that his ego was his higher power. This realization led him to redefine his life's purpose and goals.
He also shares the importance of balancing work and play, emphasizing that fun should never be sidelined in the pursuit of business success. One of the most compelling parts of the conversation is Tony's take on social media. He discusses how it has expanded his network globally, creating an extended family he never had before. Yet, he doesn't shy away from addressing its impact on personal relationships and the need for a balanced approach.
Tony also delves into the dangers of alcohol in the corporate world, sharing how he had to lose everything to understand what true success means to him. His insights into the power of willingness to change are particularly inspiring, offering listeners practical advice on how to open doors to new ways of living. Throughout the episode, Tony drops several nuggets of wisdom that might sound like clichés but have proven effective in his life.
From the necessity of a support system to being open to change, his advice is both relatable and actionable.
