The Grant Williams Podcast Ep. 58 - Matt Barrie - FULL EPISODE

57 minutes

Joining me in this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is the Sydney-based CEO of Freelancer.com, Matt Barrie.

Matt was recently invited to give the opening keynote at the Sydney Morning Herald's Sydney 2050 Summit and, it's safe to say that, once Matt left the stage 40 minutes later, the room had been stunned into silence.

The Australia Matt laid bare was a long way from the idyllic, sun-kissed 'Lucky Country' of popular consciousness and far more in keeping with the portrait painted in the pages of Things That Make You Go Hmmm... over the last several years, so it was with great relish that I invited Matt onto the podcast to tell that same story and discuss the reaction to it.

The full text of Matt's stellar speech can be found HERE and a video of his opening keynote is HERE.

I'd strongly urge listeners to either read or watch Matt's speech in full. It is, as they say Down Under, a ripper!
