The Interview Australia

Tim Gurner is one of Australia’s most recognised—and most debated—property developers and entrepreneurs.

Behind the headlines lies a far more complicated story: the loss of his father at 19, the mentors who shaped him, the ventures that established his name and the project that came perilously close to costing him everything.

In this deeply candid conversation, Tim reflects on his first gym, the creation of Urban Inc. and GURNER, the crisis that put his family home at risk, the making of Saint Moritz and the public controversies that have followed him.

He speaks openly about pressure, criticism, family and the personal cost of relentless ambition.

He also looks ahead—to institutional capital, Saint Haven, succession and the legacy he hopes to leave behind.

Beyond the headlines, this is Tim Gurner in his own words: unguarded, uncompromising and still nowhere near done.

There are families whose stories are written into the physical and cultural landscape of Australia.The Belgiorno-Nettis family is one of them.Through Transfield, the family helped deliver some of the nation’s most significant infrastructure, engineering and industrial projects.

Beyond business, its influence extended into contemporary art, music, public institutions and civic life—leaving a legacy measured not only in wealth or enterprise, but in contribution.In this rare, long-form conversation, Rob Langton sits down with Guido Belgiorno-Nettis AM: businessman, investor, arts patron and custodian of one of Australia’s most consequential family legacies.Guido reflects on the remarkable journey of his father, Franco Belgiorno-Nettis, from post-war Italy to Australia; the creation and rise of Transfield; growing up inside a family of immense ambition and expectation; and the responsibility that comes with inheriting a name so closely connected to the building of a nation.The conversation explores Guido’s own path through business, investment and public life; his relationship with art and culture; the importance of independent thinking; the preservation of family history; and his belief that privilege carries an obligation to participate, contribute and leave something meaningful behind.This is a conversation about migration, engineering, enterprise, family, identity, culture and legacy—and about what it means to inherit not simply wealth, but responsibility.The Interview Australia presents extended conversations with the founders, investors, family business leaders and private figures who have helped shape modern Australia.The Interview - Australia's most watched business program.

Sidney Hordern Myer AO carries one of the most significant names in Australian business, philanthropy and public life.But this is not simply a conversation about inheritance.It is a conversation with a man who has spent decades actively shaping, extending and protecting that inheritance — through business, investment, the arts, regional Australia, philanthropy, cultural institutions, Australian-Asian relations and public service.The Myer story begins with Sidney Myer — born Simcha Baevski — who arrived in Melbourne in 1899 as a young Jewish migrant from the former Russian Empire, with little money and limited English. From the goldfields of regional Victoria to a small drapery store in Bendigo, and ultimately to the creation of the Myer Emporium in Melbourne, his life became one of the great Australian stories of enterprise, reinvention and contribution.More than a century later, Sid Myer has carried that story forward in his own way.He has spent more than 35 years across retailing and investment management in Australia and overseas, served as Chairman of Myer Family Investments, and played a central role in stewarding one of Australia’s most important family investment groups.Beyond business, his life’s work has extended deeply into the civic and philanthropic life of the country. As a long-serving Trustee of the Sidney Myer Fund, a Trustee of the Estate of Sidney Myer, Chair of the National Portrait Gallery of Australia Foundation, and a director across organisations including the Yulgilbar Group of Companies, the Yulgilbar Foundation and the Sid and Fiona Myer Family Foundation, Sid has helped continue a family tradition that has shaped Australian culture, education, the arts, regional development and community life for generations.His service has also reached into rural and regional Australia, conservation, zoological organisations, cultural exchange and the strengthening of Australia’s relationship with Asia — work recognised through his appointment as an Officer of the Order of Australia for distinguished service to the community through philanthropy, equality, the arts and Australian-Asian relations.In this rare long-form conversation, Sid Myer reflects on the responsibility of carrying a name that belongs not only to a family, but to the national story.This is a conversation about migration, ambition, memory and obligation.About what is passed from one generation to the next.About the discipline required to preserve a legacy without being trapped by it.And about the question at the centre of every enduring family enterprise: what does it mean to inherit something larger than yourself — and still make your own contribution?From the remarkable life of the original Sidney Myer to Sid Myer’s own decades of leadership across investment, philanthropy, culture and public life, this episode explores one of the great dynastic stories in modern Australia.A story of business.A story of giving.A story of family.And a story that remains deeply woven into the fabric of Australian life.Subscribe for more rare long-form conversations with Australia’s most influential business families, founders, investors & cultural figures.Link: www.youtube.com/theinterviewauFounder & Host - Rob LangtonProduction via Ready Media Group.Further Information:https://myerfamilyinvestments.com.au/https://www.mutualtrust.com.au/https://readymedia.com.au/
