Episode 1 of Coalition of Willing with Greg Rogers begins with the origin story of the podcast itself.

Greg sits down with Matt Birney — businessman, former politician, and the person who first gave Greg the phrase Coalition of Willing.

In this first conversation, Greg and Matt talk about Kalgoorlie, business, politics, risk, reinvention, failure, pressure, and what it means to keep stepping into the arena.

Matt shares stories from his early days in the auto parts industry, building Goldfields Auto Spares, learning business by doing, moving into politics, and later working across the ASX and corporate world.

This episode sets the foundation for Coalition of Willing: real conversations with people who step forward, have a crack, do the work, take responsibility, and keep going when it would be easier not to.

Hosted by Greg Rogers.
