The episode offers a chance to get to know Harvey beyond his role at the NSBRC, exploring his career journey, approach to leadership and enthusiasm for the self-build and renovation industry.
A little more about the man behind the role
The conversation starts by looking back at Harvey's unexpected former career in acting, before moving on to his journey into the world of self-build and his role managing the NSBRC.
Jay and Matt also explore Harvey's management style and what makes a good leader, alongside what life is really like running a national centre dedicated to helping people research, plan and deliver their own building projects.
There's plenty of fun along the way, too. Harvey is challenged to reveal where he'd choose to sleep if he had the entire NSBRC to himself, and what his dream home would look like if money were no object.
More than just a conversation

- True or False? – Separating fact from fiction.
