Jase Hawkins: How To Stop Waiting And Start Living

What happens when the life you've carefully planned doesn't go the way you expected?

For decades, Jase Hawkins has been one of Australia's most recognisable radio voices. Millions have woken up to him on breakfast radio, hearing the laughter, the energy and the entertainment. But behind the microphone is a story of heartbreak, resilience, fatherhood and perspective.

In this deeply personal conversation, Jase opens up about the devastating loss of both his parents, the grief that still catches him off guard, and the life lessons they left behind. He shares the emotional journey he and his wife endured through IVF, the challenges and joys of raising a son with autism and ADHD, and why becoming a father changed everything.

Jase also reflects on the realities of working in one of Australia's most competitive industries, from answering phones for free as a teenager to building a career in breakfast radio. He reveals the culture and values that helped create long-lasting teams, why kindness matters more than ego, and the surprising secret to sustaining success over the long term.

This is a conversation about family, loss, resilience and discovering what truly matters when life forces you to reassess everything.

You'll learn:

• How grief can become one of life's greatest teachers

• What raising a child with autism has taught Jase about patience, perspective and unconditional love

• Why success means very little if you don't have the right people around you

A final thought.

As Jase shares throughout this conversation, a meaningful life isn't built through achievements, status or recognition. It's built through relationships, showing up for the people you love and finding gratitude for the moments that matter most.
