Ten years to 'Who's Who' and ten minutes to 'Who's Through' - Michael Harrison's story

Michael Harrison’s story is remarkable.

In this interview, he tells Colin Pearce about his schooldays at Timbertop – a campus of Geelong Grammar School – his early sales apprenticeship selling women’s shoes, and his success as a computer services salesperson in the earliest days of commercial computing.

He relates how he was rated Top of the Table for 14 years in the insurance services Million Dollar Round Table fraternity and through vision and his freewheeling entrepreneurial thinking became the owner of Australia’s first private bank.

Follow his frank and honest tale about how that all came to nothing in the great crash of 1989 and how he took life in his fists and dug himself out of the hole and rose to even great heights.

Today Michael is a recognised financial services expert, a respected professional speaker, and Chair of the large independent Financial Services group, Synchron.
