EP 721: Christian O'Connell

Reclaim Who You Are. Let Go of the Script

Christian O’Connell is the only breakfast radio host to have a hit #1 show in 2 countries, the UK and Australia. Today he hosts Australia’s first National Breakfast show. Once described as “furiously funny” by the UK Times, Christian dominated the UK airwaves for 20 years, with a huge daily breakfast audience of 2 million. Then he quit, moved to Australia to host The Christian O’Connell breakfast Show on Melbourne’s  GOLD104.3, and it was a disaster, starting a story of darkness, anxiety, self-doubt, loathing, humour, self-discovery, and finally victory. We discuss his new book, 'Unscript: The Radical Act of Being Yourself'. It's a book about disregarding the script and reclaiming who you are.
