Ryan Stokes AO, SGH CEO: what Canberra gets wrong, and why he gave up the BlueScope chase

Ryan Stokes AO might be one of the busiest CEOs on the ASX. His company, SGH, owns a number of businesses including Boral, Westrac, Coates, Beach Energy, as well as Seven West Media. He's also a director of Southern Cross Austereo following a recent merger. He took some time out of his busy schedule to talk to Peter Switzer on the Switzer Show this week about the empire he oversees to share what he thinks Canberra is getting wrong when it comes to growing the future economy, how his businesses use AI, and why he gave up the chase to add BlueScope Steel to SGH's stables.
