Optimism and the Servant Leader: A Conversation with Brad Rowswell

In my recent podcast with Brad Rowswell, Shadow Treasurer in the Victorian Parliament, we explored the heart of optimism, servant leadership, and gratitude.

Brad’s words resonated powerfully: "My optimism really stems from the fact that we share a common humanity. We breathe the same air, swim in the same sea. And no matter your political divide, we share a common humanity. I'd like to think that the vast majority of people actually want to do better and aspire to do better. Things unite us more than they divide us."

Guided by his Christian faith, Brad views leadership as a form of service shaped by humility and gratitude. He emphasises the importance of taking moments to pause and be grateful for even the simplest blessings—a value he believes can transform our interactions and lead to happier, more optimistic lives. For Brad, faith isn’t just a personal guide but a foundation for a public life centred on unity, optimism, and service to others.
