Episode #261 features Ameet Bains, CEO of the Western Bulldogs,
an AFL club with more than 65,000 members, $100 million in net
assets, and a reach spanning elite sport, community programs and
one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions.
Ameet reflects on growing up as the son of Indian migrants,
embracing both Australian and Punjabi cultures, and the
entrepreneurial sacrifice his parents made to fund his education
and future.
Vidit and Ameet explore his journey from lawyer at MinterEllison
and Toyota to AFL executive, the setbacks and missed
opportunities that ultimately shaped his career, and the
leadership lessons learned from managing player contracts,
building high-performing teams and leading through intense public
scrutiny.
They also discuss sustaining success in elite sport, balancing
ambition with family, the future of AI in organisations, engaging
Australia's rapidly growing Indian community, and why humility,
service and long-term thinking matter more than headlines.
Please enjoy exploring your curiosity.
