In this episode of Dear 21-Year-Old Me, with guest Craig Norenbergs

  • We go back in time to 1989 when our guest, Craig Norenbergs, turned 21, and look at what was happening in the world, and closer to home back then.

  • Craig reflects on his experiences growing up in Canberra.

  • We talk about how Craig's leadership style has evolved, and the importance of humility. 

  • Craig reflects on how he got his start in the media, driving across two states to try and do so, and how literally a 'break' was the break he needed to get into the media.

  • Craig talks about the day he was at work, the phone rang, and on the other end was Kerry Packer.

  • Craig looks back on his career and his personal leadership lessons, including what it has been like living overseas including in New Zealand.

  • We ask Craig what he'd say to his 21-year-old self, and what Craig at 21 would say to himself now.
