Episode 8: Interview with Dr. Geoff Raby AO

This week, I sat down with Dr. Geoff Raby AO, Australia’s former Ambassador to China, whose career has been defined by navigating one of the most complex and consequential relationships of our time.

What struck me most was his ability to find clarity in uncertainty - whether it was learning Mandarin, visiting every province in China, or making high-stakes decisions with incomplete information. His journey is a reminder that growth often happens when we lean into the unfamiliar, embrace curiosity, and build meaningful connections along the way.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered how to make sense of the bigger picture. Dr. Raby’s unique perspective - shaped by his love for economic history and decades of diplomacy - shows how doing what you’re passionate about can help you see the world in a way that’s both deeper and clearer. It’s a lesson in thinking conceptually, connecting the dots, and finding purpose in the work that matters to you.
