About Brett Smith:

Hailing from Sydney, Brett Smith's life journey is a testament to resilience and relentless pursuit of excellence. Raised in a blue-collar family, he embraced rugby and boxing, until personal challenges led to substance abuse at 16. A stint in rehabilitation marked a turning point.

At 21, Brett embarked on a 4-year global adventure, diving deep into technical diving during his time in Egypt. At 25, he returned to boxing, claiming State, National, and multiple world titles. Post-retirement, Brett channelled his drive into entrepreneurship, scaling an electrical business from scratch.
