***JOIN AMANTHA IN A LIVE TAPING OF HOW I WORK***


I'm going to be doing a live taping of How I work at the Melbourne Podcast Festival on Saturday July 31 at 2.30pm.


http://melbournepodcastfestival.com/podcast/how-i-work/


For this very special live taping, Amantha will be speaking to Christian O'Connell. Christian was Britain’s best known and most awarded breakfast radio presenter, hosting his own top rating national breakfast shows and collecting more industry awards than any other presenter and becoming the youngest radio presenter ever inducted into the UK Radio Hall of Fame. And then he moved out to Australia where no one knew him. Australian Radio Network took a punt on bringing him to Melbourne’s Gold FM – a move that has paid dividends.


In this interview, we will be exploring:

  • what goes on behind the scenes of breakfast radio
  • Christian's strategies for overcoming mental health challenges that plagued him in the competitive world of commercial radio
  • how Christian finds ideas and inspiration to fill three hours of live radio every single day
  • why Christian once wore a death watch, which reminded him how much longer he had to live
  • the biggest things he learnt from being in therapy for several years
  • how he prepares for interviews with some of the world's biggest celebrities
  • how he picked himself up after dismal ratings when he first started on GOLD FM
  • And much, much more.

When Simon Griffiths chose to cover your toilet paper stack with a cheeky sense of fun and delight, the Who Gives a Crap founder cracked open a whole new world of creative possibilities for the business. 


For Simon, that meant delivering something unexpected to his customers and creating a culture of quirky fun in the workplace, all while delivering decoration to your dunny.


That sense of humour has even filtered through to the company’s recruitment process.
