About this listen

In this episode of The Self Made Show Dubai, Richard Fitzgerald — founder and CEO of Augustus Media — joins Fabio Gallerani to break down what real leadership looks like in today’s world. Not the textbook version, but the kind that’s learned on the field, through pressure, rejection, and ambition.

Richard shares how hearing “no” became the catalyst that pushed him to build Augustus Media into one of the region’s most influential digital media companies. From trusting your vision when others doubt it to understanding why ambition matters more than permission, this conversation is a masterclass in modern leadership.

✨ In this episode: Why leadership is built through experience, not theory

  • How rejection can fuel innovation
  • What separates ambitious entrepreneurs from average ones
  • The mindset behind building digital-first companies
  • Why anything can go viral in today’s media landscape
  • The power of backing your own vision

Whether you’re a founder, creator, or someone driven by big ambition, Richard’s perspective will reshape how you think about leadership and what it really takes to create something meaningful.
