Episode 6: Nazeem Hussain



The son of Sri Lankan migrants, Nazeem Hussain honed his comedic chops in the suburbs of Melbourne in the 1990s, though as you’ll hear, he started giving it a crack when he was very young, right on his front doorsteps as people passed by. After his father left the family, it was his fearless mother who taught him how to use humour to get bullies off his back. And a star was born. Since then, Nazeem has performed around the world, created his own TV show ‘Legally Brown’, hosted his own Netflix special ‘Public Frenemy’ and written a children's book to celebrate his journey into parenthood. This episode will have you laughing, leaning in and leave you feeling lighter.

If you had to grab two things from a burning building, what would you choose?

 

Co-hosted by Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry, TWO AM I is redefining modern leadership, one convo at a time. We invite extraordinary individuals to tell their story through two objects. Big or small, trinket or treasure. Two things that explain who they are, and what matters to them.

 

Think of us like a supermarket for knowledge: tune in, grab what you need, then apply it in your everyday life. From sports champs to journalists. Builders to coaches. CEOs to musos. These are the fresh takes on leadership that don’t usually make the headlines.

TWO AM I
