From the boardroom to the locker rooms, sport catches imagination like little else. In this podcast we talk to the men and women, who make the big decisions and those who make the big plays to find where sport is; and, importantly, where it is going. We do so, for the only eyes that matter: those of the fan!

Season 7 Episode 41. Peter Hutton takes time out from the Sport Summit Como (where he is a founding attendee) to join Roger Mitchell in The Confessional. Like the discussions on the lake, it is a deeply personal, honest conversation spanning his 35 years in sports media. From his globe-trotting career and family trade-offs, to the philosophy of leadership, risk-taking, and loyalty. Hutton reflects on the deals that didn’t work out, lessons from navigating corporate politics, and how keeping relationships genuine (not transactional) built a career beloved by colleagues across continents. You’ll hear about the rise of IPL, the real meaning of sport beyond billion-dollar TV cheques, and the legacy of those who shaped his life, especially his dad. Expect humility, sharp insight, and practical wisdom for anyone seeking purpose in their work.
