Expert: Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest - Business lessons, hydrogen & what fossil fuel companies don't want you to know
Season 9
•
Today's guest is Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest, the chairman of Fortescue Metals Group.
Twiggy took over the company that would become Fortescue in 2003 and developed it into one of the world's four major iron ore miners in a little over a decade (and became Australia's second wealthiest person in the process). Today, Twiggy also invests privately through Tattarang and is one of Australia’s leading philanthropists through Minderoo Foundation and is a leading voice on ending the use of fossil fuels and creating green energy solutions.
In today's episode we discuss:
- Where the nickname Twiggy comes from
- How he is spending his time today
- What are his biggest problems with 'net zero'
- Why Fortescue has committed to 'real zero' instead
- Whether a complete phase out of fossil fuels is truly possible
- Advice for young Australians starting their careers
