Australians love an underdog story, the underdog represents resilience, determination, and a fair go. In this episode of our podcast, we dive into Australia’s love for the underdog and our tendency to cut down ‘tall poppies.’ Why do we celebrate resilience and determination but sometimes criticise those who rise too high? We explore how this paradox shapes our culture, from sports to business to everyday life. Does tall poppy syndrome keep people humble, or does it hold back ambition and success? Grab a glass and tune in as we unpack this uniquely Aussie mindset!
