Robert Mackenzie left school at 14. By 17, he was buying trucks and machinery. Today, he’s the man behind Maccas Australian Black Angus Beef, one of Australia’s most respected Angus beef enterprises. But behind the success is a story he’s never fully told, until now. Robert opens up about working 120-hour weeks, burnout, the breakdown of his 25-year marriage and losing his best mate to cancer. He also shares why he decided to walk away from his businesses and spend an entire year travelling Australia with his family. But at the heart of this conversation is fatherhood. After years of working harder, building bigger and providing more, Robert came to realise that what matters most is time with your kids. Now, with two sons working alongside him, he reflects on family, fatherhood and the legacy he hopes to leave behind.
