Hugh: Do you consider yourself a leader of people?

Alby: Yeah, that's a very interesting question because I probably am but I don't like to act out as a leader with people and I think it is a bit of a downfall with me because I always, when I am with people, I let them feel like they're doing it with me or they're even better than me at doing it but then that has backfired on me because then people think that they have done it and they want the rewards. So, you know like...but in my own way and not pushing it out there...well I do things my way and people somehow seem to follow. So, I don't always ask them to but I don't know whether that's a good way of doing or whether you should be very firm and say, 'Nah nah this is how it is and that's what you are going to do and that's what you do.' I don't know that really. Because I've got...they're the way I have done it.

His first film, World Safari 1, became a surprise hit when released in 1977. And six years later, he did it again with World Safari 2 which instantly shot him to all-time legend status.

►About The Thread
Two mates sit down with 10 iconic Australians to figure out how they broke away from the pack. Hugh and Jack seek out leaders of wide-ranging fields: adventure, sport, business, philanthropy, medicine, law and literature to uncover the common thread that binds them.

The interview subjects are household names famed for remarkable and well-told stories, but rarely have they been asked how they did it, how they define success and whether anyone can do what they've done.

Armed with meticulous research and uncomfortably simple questions, we elicit intriguing, inspiring and often unexpected insights from an eclectic bunch of trailblazers.
