Leading MTV's Evolution: From Vinyl Dreams to Digital Realities with Brent Hansen

Brent Hansen is the former Head of MTV Europe. Brent is originally from Aotearoa but had a passion for music like no other that led him on an exciting journey.

Faced with the choice between becoming a teacher or working in the music industry, Brent decided to give his passion a go. It worked in his favour and led to his 19-year career working with MTV. 

Brent and I spoke about the buildup to his impressive career, his views on leadership, and the challenges he believes businesses are facing in the current climate.
