Some leaders build empires. Others build character.Guy Maine has done both, and rebuilt himself along the way. From launching Australia’s prepaid mobile era at Optus and leading Virgin Mobile’s turnaround, to driving Foxtel’s shift from analogue to digital and starting an aviation business, Guy’s path is full of bold moves and honest reflection.Today he brings that same energy to On The Monee, improving dignity for hospitality workers, while mentoring young Australians through the Raise Foundation. This episode isn’t about titles or exits. It’s about what stays when the rest falls away.Resilience. Courage. Clarity. And the discipline to keep showing up. Key highlights ~ The advice from his mother that shaped how he learns, works, and leads.~ How he launched prepaid mobile in Australia and why persistence beats permission.~ What the best leaders in his career had in common, and why humanity mattered more than authority. ~ The moment everything collapsed and how he rebuilt with grit and purpose. ~ Why mentoring through Raise gives him a sense of meaning no corporate result could match. Guy Maine’s odyssey shows that leadership is not a straight climb. It is a constant act of becoming.
