SportsGrad founder Reuben Williams quit his own company — then figured out how to buy it back.

But that’s only part of his story.

Reuben has gone from landing his dream job at Cricket Australia, to redundancy, entrepreneurship and almost losing the business he built. He’s helped close to 850 people find jobs in sport, travelled the world chasing some of its biggest events, and rebuilt SportsGrad after a buyback deal left him under enormous financial pressure.

At the same time, Reuben spent six years navigating the legal system after taking a former colleague to court over a sexual assault. The experience led him to speak publicly about what happened and become an advocate for survivors.

Reuben joins Sylvia Jeffreys on The Pay Off for a wide-ranging conversation about ambition, resilience, work and what happens when life doesn’t follow the path you expected. In this episode:
The CV mistakes that could be holding jobseekers back
Why AI is changing the entry-level jobs market
What his experience taught him about the barriers facing sexual assault survivors
The four values shaping how he lives and works
