Leo Molloy talks about how he found success after bankruptcy | Runners Only! Podcast with Dom Harvey
Episode Description
EP33 Runners Only! with Dom Harvey & Leo Molloy
Many New Zealanders over a certain age probably remember an iconic student bar called The Fat Ladies Arms. That was the brainchild of Leo Molly in the early 1990s in Palmerston North. That is when we became friends.
Since then Leo has ridden the extreme highs and lows of hospitality with restaurants and bars including Euro, Cowboys, Headquarters and Cardiac (Which sent him bankrupt).
At the time of releasing this, Leo has just announced that he is pulling out of the race to be the next Mayor of Auckland (This chat was recorded earlier in the year and we talk about pretty much everything EXCEPT for politics).
This was a fun conversation- if you've never heard of Leo you'll get to learn about the life of one of New Zealand's great characters. If you have a preconceived idea of who Leo is, this may change your opinion (or not LOL).
