[Watch episode here] In this raw and honest episode of Shaped, Trent Cotchin sits down with former Richmond premiership teammate and ex-Gold Coast Suns player Brandon Ellis to discuss the personal experiences that shaped him on and off the field.
Brandon opens up about the powerful moment at Richmond Football Club that changed everything: the Triple H exercise - Hero, Highlight, and Hardship. For the first time publicly, Brandon shares his hardship of growing up in housing commission, his drive to succeed, and how he worked hard to buy a home for his parents to break that cycle.
But it wasn’t all triumph. After the ultimate high of winning his first AFL premiership, Brandon hit a personal low and shares how he reached out to Trent during this dark period and moved in with Trent and his family, finding the support and perspective he needed to get back on track.
This episode is packed with life lessons, mindset shifts, vulnerability, and personal growth from one of AFL’s most honest voices.
