Summary

Joining me in this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is the Sydney-based CEO of Freelancer.com, Matt Barrie. Matt was recently invited to give the opening keynote at the Sydney Morning Herald’s Sydney 2050 Summit and, it’s safe to say that, once Matt left the stage 40 minutes later, the room had been stunned into silence. The Australia Matt laid bare was a long way from the idyllic, sun-kissed ’Lucky Country’ of popular consciousness and far more in keeping with the portrait painted in the pages of Things That Make You Go Hmmm... over the last several years, so it was with great relish that I invited Matt onto the podcast to tell that same story and discuss the reaction to it. The full text of Matt’s stellar speech can be found HERE and a video of his opening keynote is HERE. I’d strongly urge listeners to either read or watch Matt’s speech in full. It is, as they say Down Under, a ripper! Every episode of the Grant Williams podcast, including This Week In Doom, The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game and Shifts Happen, is available to Copper, Silver and Gold Tier subscribers at my website www.Grant-Williams.com. Copper Tier subscribers get access to all podcasts, while members of the Silver Tier get both the podcasts and my monthly newsletter, Things That Make You Go Hmmm… Gold Tier subscribers have access to my new series of in-depth video conversations, About Time.

0:53.5	Many regular listeners to this show and people who've read my writing of the years understand
0:58.3	that I have a keen focus on Australia as one of the places that when the housing market
1:02.9	there finally goes poof, we are going to see some real fireworks.
1:06.4	And so to see Matt lay out the story of Australia in really quite confronting detail was a fabulous
1:13.1	thing for me to see.
1:14.1	And so I approached him and he very kindly agreed to come and tell that story on this podcast.
1:18.9	And I'm hoping that it brings some perspective to any of those among you
