This is a podcast where we sit down with some very successful people from the world of business, entertainment and sport about their life’s journey and what got them to the position that they’re in today.

In today’s episode we are chatting with Neil Perry.

Neil Perry is one of Australia’s most influential restaurateurs. He has spent decades creating iconic venues and special experiences through places like Rockpool, Spice Temple and now on to his latest creation Margaret. Neil has also been creating menus for QANTAS since 1997, and published many cookbooks and good weekend columns.

Neil’s approach to successful business is quite different to what we may expect of the corporate world; he believes in and acts through what he calls the care philosophy. He has a unique importance of what it takes to be successful in the hospitality world and places a lot of importance on building the right culture around you.

In this chat Neil speaks passionately about social issues like climate, sustainability, the pandemic and supporting visa holders in Australia, and he considers the platform of which being a successful chef has given him a privilege.
