The trip that Adrian Knowles has been on to get to this position in life is one that shows how much you can transfer the passion for one thing into another, and still create success with the same core principles. The CEO of Harcourts Australia, Adrian has overseen a distinct culture shift, starting with ensuring that there is a strong organisational chain of command, much like that of the military which he felt destined for as a child.

A keen student of Stoicism, we geek out a touch as we talk through Adrian's transitions through his career, as well as discussing how important his boundaries are when protecting the time with his family who are clearly the most important humans in his life. Top man, top chat, and we dig into a couple of philosophies that are well-worth exploring.
