Travis Garone on making Movember happen unKEMPt

    • Entrepreneurship

Movember Co-Founder Travis Garone explains how a couple of beers with a mate turned into a fundraising empire that’s raised over a billion dollars for men’s health. 
It’s raw, it’s real, it’s unKEMPt – a podcast for founders, investors and entrepreneurs hosted by Queensland Chief Entrepreneur Leanne Kemp, the founder and CEO of Everledger. 
This week, Leanne talks to Movember Co-Founder and Global Brand & Creative Director Travis Garone. Travis explains how he and Co-Founder Luke Slattery found a way to sell men’s health and raise over a billion dollars for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention; why “disruption is a way of life” for his brand; and the advice he’d give to a young entrepreneur starting out today.
Then, in this week’s Leannesplaining segment, Leanne gets her pitch on, and explains how having the perfect pitch can make or break most entrepreneurs.
UnKEMPt is hosted by Leanne Kemp and produced by the Office of the Queensland Chief Entrepreneur and The Content Division. Like what you hear?
