Bruce Matchett has a pint with Seaniebee
A Pint With Seaniebee is an informal chat between globe-trotting planning director Sean Boyle and creative folks who have lived, or are living brave, interesting and unconventional lives. He examines how their background and upbringing forged the path they went down; what decisions they took that made all the difference; what ideas they have to change the world in which we live; what life-wisdom they have garnered; and looking back, perhaps what they might change or what advice they might offer up to those following in their footsteps.
Born into a Scottish mining family, the death of his older brother in an accident changed Bruce Matchett’s life at a very young age. Always artistic, Bruce, now creative partner at Banjo Sydney, managed to get himself to art college and a long and fruitful international advertising career followed. An alcoholic, Bruce has been sober for 30 years and gives a frank and candid account of his struggle with the drink. A deep thinker, with a thirst for accumulating life-wisdom, he has also spent time in a monastery in Northern Thailand and shares some of the profound life lessons learned during his stay.
