On this episode of Diving Deep, Olympic athlete and social media creator Sam Fricker whose videos generate over 3.3 billion views a year sits down with one of Australia’s most controversial and influential figures Clive Palmer. Clive Palmer is a mining magnate, billionaire businessman, and the founder of the United Australia Party. He’s known for saying exactly what he thinks and in this interview, he doesn’t hold back. Love him or hate him, Clive has left a massive mark on Australian business and politics.From building one of the country’s biggest fortunes to becoming a polarising figure in parliament, Clive talks openly about his beliefs, his battles with the media, and why he thinks freedom of speech is non-negotiable. He even said, “I’d rather be dead in my grave than not be free as a human.”We dive into the lawsuits, the headlines, the strategy behind his success, and what he would do if he had to start over again today with nothing but a phone and a TikTok account.Whether you’re curious, critical, or somewhere in between, this episode gives a raw and revealing look at a man who’s shaped Australian headlines for over a decade.This episode is not sponsored.
