Queensland Business Stories
Conversations with Queensland founders, owners and operators about the decisions, setbacks and lessons behind their businesses.

Full conversations
Watch the video or listen to the audio.

Decisions, setbacks and practical experience.
Conversations about running a business
Business stories are usually cleaned up by the time they are told publicly. The difficult decisions, wrong turns and pressure behind the result often disappear.
Queensland Business Stories takes a more useful approach. Chris speaks with one Queensland business leader at a time about where they started, what changed as the business grew and what they learned when things did not go to plan.
One guest at a time
Enough space to understand the person and the business.
Plain questions
A direct conversation rather than a formal presentation.
No product pitch
The conversation stays focused on the guest and their experience.
