Nik and Harry (now 14) Robinson are two-time TEDx speakers and the father and son co founders of Australia’s most awarded eyewear brand, Good Citizens Eyewear. Driven by a shared purpose to untrash the planet®, they turned a family experiment into a globally recognised business by transforming waste into beautifully designed, functional products.

Their journey began at the kitchen table and took 752 days and 2,503 failed attempts to succeed. Along the way, they built an unconventional leadership model, with kids holding real decision-making power, proving that fresh perspectives and bold ideas can come from unexpected places.

Nik and Harry deliver powerful, highly engaging keynotes that explore perseverance, failure and rethinking what’s possible when progress feels slow. Their story has been shared across two TEDx stages, including TEDx Melbourne and the TEDx Global Idea Search in Sydney, and with organisations including Google, Tesla and the United Nations. The Good Citizens story has also been featured internationally, including a dedicated window at Selfridges London alongside Prada and coverage in Forbes US.

Known for their warmth, honesty and strong on-stage connection, Nik and Harry leave audiences energised, more connected and more confident taking the next step forward together.
