Ep 177: Mark Maloney

Summary: <p class="m_1980210749072500810gmail-p1">Mark Maloney is one of Australia’s most successful entrepreneurs, from a family of similarly excellent business people.</p> <p class="m_1980210749072500810gmail-p1">His father built many different companies including an incredibly successful mining logistics company The Mac.</p> <p class="m_1980210749072500810gmail-p1">However Mark is also successful in his own right  - working as an investment banker in London before heading back to run The Mac before floating it on the stock exchange in 2007 and being a part of making his whole family multi-millionaires overnight.</p> <p class="m_1980210749072500810gmail-p1">But Mark’s story isn’t all about the incredible amounts of hard work that he put in, nor about the giddy amount of success he achieved - it’s also about how having more money than he could spend failed to make him happy, and how he ultimately found that happiness.</p> <p class="m_1980210749072500810gmail-p1">Mark has since branched out into other industries, including the fabulously successful Sumo Salad food franchise - which has kept me fed for many a flight around the wide brown land that’s for sure.</p> <p class="m_1980210749072500810gmail-p1">I’m very grateful to Mark for coming over to my place to do this - he’s an imposing figure at well over six ft tall - and sat down for a frank an honest conversation at my kitchen table over a bit of dahl and a cup of tea.</p>
