Murray Thom is one of New Zealand’s most successful and creative entrepreneurs.

He’s the man behind some of our most iconic and successful productions, including The Great New Zealand Songbook, The Great New Zealand Cookbook, The Offering, and Piano by Candlelight.

How he won a government tender for the Personalised Plates business in 1987, which at its peak had a turnover of $30 million and staff of 60, how he brought together Celine Dion and Anne Geddes, how he manifested becoming a world champion sailor, his best business hacks and all the best stories in between.

Murray’s life was made for a long form podcast and there are so many brilliant nuggets of business and life wisdom in this one, it’s a super entertaining chat.
