What does it really take to go from an intern filing records… to becoming a respected HR professional, lecturer, and voice people look up to?

In this episode of Behind the Title, Giovanni Bonitto shares his real journey, from dreaming of becoming a professional footballer to facing rejection, self-doubt, and eventually stepping confidently into rooms where he once felt small.

We unpack:
 • The truth about rejection (and why it’s not the end)
 • How discipline from running transformed his mindset
 • The power of confidence (even when you don’t feel ready)
 • What HR professionals actually look for when hiring
 • Why not everyone will like you, and why that’s okay

Giovanni keeps it real about growth, consistency, and becoming the person you’re meant to be.

If you’re navigating your career, battling self-doubt, or trying to level up, this episode is for you.
