Episode notes
Peter Vollert grew up in Papua New Guinea and now runs a successful business in Australia — but his connection to PNG remains strong. In this episode, we dive into his journey from childhood in PNG to entrepreneurship, and the routines and mindset that keep him focused daily.
We talk about:
What growing up in PNG taught him about community, resilience, and opportunity
The reality of running a business — and why structure and discipline matter
How composting and sustainability became part of his lifestyle
Why PNG needs Australia — not just in aid, but in long-term partnerships
This is a grounded, insightful chat on culture, business, and the power of small daily actions to create big change.
