Show Notes
Leigh Hart’s career looks like a string of cult hits : Moon TV, SportsCafe, Late Night Big Breakfast, and the wildly successful Wakachangi beer and SnackaChangi snack empire.
But behind the perceived highs is a story of never quite belonging. From a childhood spent overseas to feeling like an outsider at boarding school, Leigh learned early to rely on his own instincts rather than fitting the mould.
In this episode, Leigh reflects on the years of unnoticed work that led to his success, the pressure of public expectation, and the importance of “not dying wondering.” From taking creative risks to building businesses by accident, his path has been anything but conventional.
A candid, offbeat conversation about trusting your gut, embracing failure, and creating your own lane when you don’t fit the system. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
