An Aboriginal man from the Kabi Kabi people, "Chilly" was product of violence,

 

- Grew up in foster system

- Became homeless

- Shot during a tussle on the streets

- Then ended up in prison

 

With stints and various roles of employment in the underworld, he found himself in Rural Victoria with an honest job.

 

From there, he put himself through studies and built up enough courage to start his own business.


Isaac Harrison hosts Deadly Discussions, a series of conversations that digs into the human stories behind meaningful enterprise. Each episode moves beyond spreadsheets and business plans to explore how leaders and founders build ventures that genuinely serve the people around them. You’ll hear from individuals who measure success not just in profit, but in positive impact, discussing the real-world challenges and triumphs of running operations that support both communities and families. This podcast sits at the unique intersection of practical management, entrepreneurial spirit, and non-profit ethos, offering a grounded perspective often missing from typical business talk. The dialogue focuses on the decisions, values, and daily work that define a purpose-driven career. Tune in for honest reflections on what it means to do good business, providing listeners with both inspiration and actionable insight from those who are quietly getting it done.
