Fortescue CEO: Breaking into Mining, Going Green and the Accident That Changed Everything
Nicolai Tangen sits down with Andrew Forrest, Chairman and CEO of Fortescue, to explore one of the most remarkable stories in modern business.
From building a mining giant from scratch against a 60-year duopoly, to pledging to run the entire company on zero fossil fuels by 2030 with no offsets, Forrest has never been afraid to think big. They discuss his "crazy brave Plan A" philosophy, the role of AI in running smart energy grids, and his disagreements with some of the world's most powerful people over climate policy. Andrew also opens up about the accident that reshaped his priorities, his philanthropic mission tackling modern slavery and ocean conservation, and the simple advice that guides his life: be useful, and enjoy it. Tune in!
