Michael Schneider is the managing director of Bunnings and our first guest in 2024. Mike's leadership is revered amongst the business community in Australia and his incredible success stems from his deep respect for others. In this conversation with Luke Darcy, Mike's pride in the professionalism and longevity of the team members at Bunnings shines through.

If you're a leader of any type of business, big, small, or maybe you're just starting out with a side hustle, Mike gives away so much valuable advice during this conversation covering all aspects of business as well as handing out some excellent tips for dealing with anyone who thinks they're the smartest person in the room. You'll also hear how some of Mike's greatest teachers are the ones who've gotten it wrong, and, lucky for us, Mike's not afraid to discuss the mistakes he's made along the way, so that you too can learn from him!

You'll also hear the great John Bertrand mentioned in this episode - make sure you've checked out Luke's full-length conversation with John here.
