Straight Talk with Mark Bouris

Jack Bloomfield is one of the most interesting young entrepreneurs Australia has produced.
At 16, he was mowing lawns for seed money and making $3,000 a day selling products online. By 17, he'd raised $1 million. By 19, he'd moved to New York alone, knocking on doors to meet e-commerce executives. By 24, he'd built and sold a multi-million-dollar tech business before moving to Hong Kong to take on Australia's building materials industry with his new company Bloom Build.
We talk about raising capital, facing rejection, building businesses from nothing, and why he believes leaving Australia might be the most patriotic thing a young entrepreneur can do..

Paul Gallen has had 19 professional fights, captained the NSW Blues in State of Origin and played 32 Tests for Australia. Now, at 45, he’s stepping back into the ring against a man 15 years younger, 30 kilos heavier and 8 inches taller. This is a raw conversation about where that toughness actually comes from: growing up in Western Sydney, being kicked out of home at 13, and building a life on a refusal to quit. No PR spin, no highlight reel. Just Paul Gallen, talking straight.

Mark Nawaqanitawase stood on Bronte Road as a fan in 2019, looking up at the Roosters on the Leagues Club balcony. 7 years later he was up there with the premiership.

Before the luxury cars, multimillion-dollar properties and headline-making giveaways, Adrian Portelli was broke and determined to succeed.
Growing up in Melbourne's western suburbs, Adrian refused to take a conventional job, spent years building businesses and sacrificed almost everything in pursuit of success. Now one of Australia's most recognisable entrepreneurs, Adrian sits down with Mark Bouris to tell the story behind his rise. He breaks down the LMCT Plus business model, explains how he turned giveaways into a powerful marketing strategy, and opens up about his disputes with regulators, his move to Dubai and his next major business ventures.

This is the full, unfiltered account — what it felt like to be dragged underwater, how she fought back, the near-death experience that almost took her, and the one thing that pulled her back. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to survive the unsurvivable, this is it.
