Larry Kestelman: the man who revamped the NBL after first reshaping the way Australian’s do business

View descriptionShare

Larry Kestelman is an Australian billionaire property developer and businessman.


One of the co-founders of Dodo Internet back in 2001, Larry is now owner of Australia’s National Basketball League, the NBL, among many other successful businesses. 
Not satisfied with turning Melbourne United into a successful franchise, he went on to change the game for Australian basketball after taking ownership of the NBL itself. 

In this conversation, Larry and our host, Luke Darcy, cover all of Larry’s journey - from his humble beginnings in Ukraine to becoming a renowned business tycoon in Australia. 

Larry puts a whole lot of his success down to luck, but also admits to being skilled at seizing opportunities and developing an unbelievably deep understanding of people and their needs. 

In this inspiring conversation with Luke, Larry emphasises just how important it is to him to always be learning, to maintain a positive attitude when the going gets tough, and how self-leadership, for Larry, all comes back to knowing what your purpose is.
