Welcome to A Room With a View, the podcast where we dive into the stories, strategies, and people shaping hotels, business, sport, and culture across Australia. Today is a very special occasion for us  – Episode 50. Hitting this milestone has only been possible because of you, our listeners, who’ve tuned in, shared your feedback, and helped us grow this community of big-picture thinkers and curious minds.

To mark the occasion, we couldn’t think of a better guest. Joining us is none other than Brian Fletcher, CEO of the Penrith Panthers. Under Brian’s leadership, the Panthers have become one of the most successful and admired organisations in Australian sport—not just for their incredible performance on the field, but also for their strong community connection, financial sustainability, and bold vision for the future.

In this conversation, we’ll explore what it takes to lead a modern sporting powerhouse, the lessons business leaders can learn from elite sport, and how the Panthers have built a winning culture that extends well beyond the scoreboard. Whether you’re a fan of rugby league, leadership, or simply the art of building something great, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

So settle in, and let’s step into Episode 50 of A Room With a View—with Panthers CEO Brian Fletcher.

Room 50 - Brian Fletcher

Welcome to Room with a View, coming to you live from No Vacancy 2025. We’ve got a bit of déjà vu today, because almost exactly one year ago we had these two legends on the podcast together. By complete coincidence, here we are again — one year later, same show, but with a whole lot that’s changed.

We're joined by Ramzy De Silva and Declan Mimnagh, and what a year it has been for both of them. We’re honestly so proud of everything they’ve achieved since we last sat down together — it really shows how quickly things can evolve in this industry when passion meets opportunity.

So buckle up for a lively and inspiring conversation that’s as much about looking forward as it is about celebrating how far we’ve come since last year’s chat.

If you enjoy the episode, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share Room with a View — it makes a big difference and helps us keep bringing you these conversations with some of the most exciting voices in hospitality.
