What does it take to build a successful First Nations business? And how do you balance commercial realities with a commitment to community?

In the second episode of Extraordinary Business Stories, Sean Aylmer and Michael Thompson speak with two State Winners of the 2026 Telstra Best of Business Awards: Jebb Hutchison from TVN On-Country, Victorian First Nations Award Winner, and Jason Elsegood from Cross Cultural Consultants, Northern Territory First Nations Award Winner.

They discuss the importance of culture and community in business, the challenges of creating employment opportunities, why genuine engagement takes time, and how First Nations businesses can help create lasting economic and social change.

Extraordinary Business Stories is a special four-part Fear & Greed Q+A series brought to you by Telstra. Meet this year's State Winners at telstra.com.au/awards.
