<p>On this episode of the Zero to CEO podcast, we have David Downs. David is currently the CEO of NZ Story, an organisation responsible for branding New Zealand to the world. Now, Believe it or not, Davids Career didn’t quite start off as you might think, David started off doing a few years on a TV Show called away laughing, before setting up the Classic on Aucklands Queen Street, a Comedy club that’s still active to this day. David then moved to Ireland with his young family for a year before coming back to New Zealand and embarking on a long and successful career with Microsoft. David was then diagnosed with Cancer, fought it successfully and then went on to become CEO of NZ Story.</p> <h1>Don't Humour the Tumour | David Downs | TEDxTauranga: https://youtu.be/0iRkcjcM6lM</h1> <p><strong>Reflections of a Genetically Modified Optimist | David Downs | TEDxAuckland: https://youtu.be/r2Wv_wwFH1I</strong></p> <p><strong>A Mild Touch of Cancer Book: https://www.mildtouch.nz/order/book</strong></p>
