Mitch Churi pulls back the curtain on what happens when success comes early — and how quickly life can change when the path you thought you were on suddenly shifts.

A broadcaster, podcast host and media personality, Mitch found fame at a young age, building a rapid rise in Australian media and becoming one of the industry’s most recognisable young voices. In this episode of Behind the Mic, Mitch opens up about the pressure of finding success so early, what it was like navigating fame while still figuring out who he was, and the challenges that came with growing up in the public eye.

He also reflects on the major setback that forced him to reassess everything, how that difficult moment reshaped his career, and why reinvention became the key to his next chapter. Mitch shares how launching his own successful podcast and building a personal brand gave him a fresh sense of purpose, and how he turned a career setback into something much bigger than he originally imagined.

 Honest, funny and full of perspective, this conversation explores resilience, reinvention and what it really takes to build something new when the original plan falls apart. Whether you’re interested in media, podcasting, or the reality of bouncing back after a setback, this episode offers insight into turning difficult moments into opportunities.

Behind the Mic with Mike E (Mike Etheridge) is the podcast where Australia’s biggest podcast and audio creators reveal who they really are.

These aren’t promo interviews. They’re honest, relaxed and often surprisingly personal conversations about career pivots, pressure, ego, burnout, ambition, personal life, relationships and what it really takes to build an audience in audio today.

It’s about the person behind the brand. The doubts, the risks, the reinventions and the moments that changed everything. After more than 14 years in breakfast radio (Mike E & Emma) and still deep in the audio game, Mike E understands the egos, expectations and everything in between. That insider perspective makes for conversations that are raw, revealing and unfiltered.

Whether you’re chasing your own goals, curious about the people behind the voices you hear every day, or just love honest conversation, Behind the Mic dives into the human side of success, ambition and resilience.

Real conversations. No scripts. Just the truth behind the mic.
