Planalife you want to live in through a Business on Purpose. My name is Ian Edwards and I am a professional business and executive coach and a certified behaviour analyst. In 2021, I have been in business for 37 years and coaching now for over 5 years. I love learning what makes people tick and helping them find the inspiration they need to love living life. To encourage means to promote courage and I really enjoy doing that. The purpose of this ”I Decided” series is to inspire people, young and old, that when they have a passion in their hearts they need to pick it up with two hands and run with two feet. To give all you have, to all you do. I am your host for these podcasts and I‘ve had the privilege of meeting some awesome people over my life in business and made friendships with some truly amazing people casually and professionally. The beauty of knowing these people, many for decades, is that I have been able to observe their life over a long time and watched them live their lives in a very authentic and significant way. They are a very humble group of individuals who, when I asked to interview them, were very surprised I would ask but happy to be involved. Their hope along with mine is to inspire others.

What do you do when you have the skill, talent, ability, and opportunity and you have just secured the professional sporting career you have always dreamed of and worked towards but then your body breaks down and no one can even really tell you why.
Ryan Stig dreamed of wearing the N07 jersey for the Newcastle Knights for many many years. It’s a jersey that had been worn by some of the most famous players in the NRL, notably Andrew Johns.
Ryan played a year for the Northern Pride in Queensland Cup with success and was contracted back to Newcastle and into reserve grade. Then the big chance arrived on Round 15 - 2011. “The Stig” as he affectionately became known, burst onto scenes later in the season and became a local boy crowd favourite. Over the next 6 months, he secured the No 7 role and resigned to play under Wayne Bennet in his inaugural year as coach of the Knights.
After some end-of-season operations, Ryan was training hard and preparing for the 2012 NRL season when disaster hit. Ryan’s body at the peak of his fitness broke down.
Please grab a cuppa and enjoy the conversation I had with Ryan and the insights he shared about dealing with Discouragement, Disappointment, Sickness and the journey to recovery.
Please enjoy… Ian
