As an Australian teen, Benjamin Mitchell was offered a National Rugby League contract. He turned it down, volunteered two years of missionary service, and spent the next several years as a full-time dad and student. Today, he is a Torres Strait Islander PhD researcher building Indigenous-led innovation and enterprise systems across Australia and the Pacific.
Ben joins The Global Hustle fresh off the UN climate forum in Fiji to explain why Indigenous communities should stop waiting on funding and start bootstrapping their own economic engines. He shares what he has seen in Fiji and rural Australia, and why he says the existing innovation system was never built for Indigenous knowledge or entrepreneurship.
In this episode:
- Why he walked away from professional rugby
- Why parenting builds the character that leadership requires
- How a Fijian youth-led conservation park became an economic engine
- What COP in Brazil taught him about diplomacy: never eat alone
- Why consistent posting on LinkedIn opened doors, including a $2.1M investment offer
