Change, Purpose and the Lasting Impact of Home - Nick Hart
In this episode, we chat with Nick Hart, Head of Marketing at Sovereign Network Group, about his career journey from luxury sales to finding true purpose in social housing—a path he says he could never turn back from.
Nick shares stories of two homes that shaped him: his childhood home, where his mum created a strong, stable base while his dad was away with the Navy, and his current home—a symbol of new beginnings after divorce, offering a safe space for him and his teenage children, and a rewarding project in restoring its original charm.
Central to this conversation is a powerful theme of resilience—in his mother, in himself, and in the communities he serves through work. It’s a thoughtful and uplifting conversation about change, purpose, and the lasting impact of home.
