NOTE: Please listen to Part A beforehand which focuses more on Craig working life to get the full enjoyment of Part B which is more about his personal life.
Craig Shearer is one of those people you just want to be around. Charismatic, intelligent, funny, curious, incredibly ambitious, a team player and a real goer.
As a country boy born & bred who has spent the large majority of his life around footy clubs and pubs, you could potentially make some assumptions and think you know what he may be like .... but you'd be very wrong !
Like many of us, Craig loves being around people so there is no coincidence that in both AFL footy and the hospitality industry he has been very successful. Having said that, he's had his own issues reconciling some of this along the way and where it all sits for him which he opens up about in this episode. I guess we all have our demons many don't know about.
Craig has had a few really sad things happen to him along the journey of life so far including the horrendous period of the 2020 covid lockdowns in Victoria without being able to trade which is clearly the lifeblood of owning pubs. It was a tough time to say the least but in hindsight gave him and his team an opportunity to really show who they were . So much so that 3-4 years later they are now winning important National Industry Awards turning over $100m per year across all venues in Australia.
It's a terrific story of grit, talent, fun, cheekiness and determination full of vulnerability where Craig lives our mantra of bringing people together and finding the balance between working hard and having fun.
Enjoy the story of Craig Shearer.
