EP5 with Karl Stefanovic - Work Hard, Play Hard News14 Mar 2022

In today’s episode, we are chatting with Karl Stefanovic. Karl is one of the most well known journalists and television presenters in the country; and while it’s likely that you have heard his voice many times, today’s interview will most likely show you a side of Karl that you haven’t seen before. Karl was never going to be a person that didn’t do stuff. He’s always been driven and willing to jump in the deep end. He’s certainly not lost his larrikin, cricket loving, Queenslander attitude, but he has learnt to delve into the deeper parts of emotional connection. 

 

In our chat we speak about Karl’s career and whether there were other paths that he considered going down, his experiences both positive and negative living in the public eye, the upheaval and the fall out from the Today show and how much pressure that put him under, as well as his subsequent return. 

 

Karl has spent his life following his mum’s advice of “work hard, play hard” and has certainly found the balance of when it’s time to work, and when it’s time to play. Karl is uniquely driven and compassionate. We sat down together at the very end of last year and I felt lucky to be the person that Karl wanted to share his own stories with.

 

As for all of these podcasts, Shaw and Partners have generously donated $10k to the charity of choice of each of our guests. We discuss who that money goes to in this chat.

 

The executive producer of this podcast is Keeshia Pettit.
