On this Room 65 of A Room With A View, we sit down with the brilliant Richard Crawford from Marriott Hotels. Richard’s journey from growing up in Tasmania and working in the family business, to building one of Australia’s finest boutique hotels, The Henry Jones, is nothing short of inspiring.
He’s a true hotelier — passionate, creative, and deeply connected to place and people. We loved hearing his reflections on family, business, friendship and what it means to build something lasting and meaningful in our ever-evolving industry.

Welcome to A Room With a View, the podcast where we dive into the stories, strategies, and people shaping hotels, business, sport, and culture across Australia. Today is a very special occasion for us – Episode 50. Hitting this milestone has only been possible because of you, our listeners, who’ve tuned in, shared your feedback, and helped us grow this community of big-picture thinkers and curious minds.
To mark the occasion, we couldn’t think of a better guest. Joining us is none other than Brian Fletcher, CEO of the Penrith Panthers. Under Brian’s leadership, the Panthers have become one of the most successful and admired organisations in Australian sport—not just for their incredible performance on the field, but also for their strong community connection, financial sustainability, and bold vision for the future.
In this conversation, we’ll explore what it takes to lead a modern sporting powerhouse, the lessons business leaders can learn from elite sport, and how the Panthers have built a winning culture that extends well beyond the scoreboard. Whether you’re a fan of rugby league, leadership, or simply the art of building something great, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
So settle in, and let’s step into Episode 50 of A Room With a View—with Panthers CEO Brian Fletcher.
