In this powerful episode of The Redeemed Podcast, host Lauren Burns sits down with Warwick Fairfax, who at just 26 years old took over his family’s 150-year-old, $2 billion media empire—only to lose it within three years. Warwick opens up about the crushing weight of failure, the shame and guilt that followed, and the unexpected journey of redemption through faith in Christ.
You’ll hear how Warwick rebuilt his identity beyond titles and success, learned to surrender to God’s plan, and discovered the power of authentic leadership, community, and resilience. From fatherhood and being present with family to leading with integrity, Warwick’s story is a roadmap for anyone facing disappointment or uncertainty.
If you’ve ever felt the sting of a setback or wondered how to move forward when your plans collapse, this conversation will inspire you to find peace, purpose, and hope.

- Warwick’s family legacy and early life in Australia

- Coping with loss, shame, and public failure
- Rebuilding identity and purpose through faith
- How to surrender control and trust God’s timing
