Sir Marco Robinson: From Homeless Kid to Building Billion-Dollar Businesses

What does it take to go from sleeping on the streets to building billion-dollar businesses and earning a knighthood for changing lives?

On this episode of Stories Worth Hearing, host Jonathan Quick sits down with Sir Marco Robinson to explore one of the most extraordinary entrepreneurial journeys you'll ever hear.

Growing up homeless, Marco refused to let his circumstances define his future. By his twenties, he had been recruited to lead a struggling public company, helping transform it into a $1 billion enterprise in just three years. From there, he built multiple multi-million-dollar companies, became an eight-time #1 bestselling author, created and starred in the hit Channel 4 television series Get a House for Free, invested in and helped produce the Netflix hit Legacy of Lies, and built a real estate portfolio of more than 100 investment properties.

But Marco believes his greatest achievement isn't measured in dollars. His humanitarian work helping change the law in Malaysia so guide dogs could accompany blind citizens into public places earned him the honorary title of Dato' Seri, the equivalent of a knighthood, impacting more than 350,000 people.

In this conversation, we discuss entrepreneurship, resilience, leadership, overcoming adversity, building companies, investing, television, philanthropy, and why your past never has to determine your future.

If you're an entrepreneur, business owner, investor, or someone looking for inspiration to overcome life's biggest challenges, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
