My guest this week is a legend of Australian and New Zealand real estate - the wonderful Chris Hanley, the principal of First National Byron and a renowned leader whose views on leadership, and building businesses that are sustainable, ethical, equitable and community-focused are highly sought after across the industry. 

Chris holds a Medal of the Order of Australia for his services to literature and the community, as he is also the founder of the Byron Writers Festival and a life of service is at the core of everything Chris stands for. 

It’s one of the things that motivated him to become the founder of the Rise Initiative, a group of agents initially brought together by a desire to help after the terrible Christchurch mosque massacre. The first Rise event demonstrated how powerful and how much good can be done when agents come together and are united around a common cause rather than dividing along franchise or company lines.
