The Two of Us | Yael Stone + Jack Manning Bancroft

Introduced by Australian Story presenter Leigh Sales

With a starring role in hit TV show Orange Is the New Black, Australian actor Yael Stone had Hollywood at her feet. Then she walked away. 

While many thought she was crazy, the one person who immediately backed her was childhood schoolmate-turned-partner Jack Manning Bancroft. 

Jack is no stranger to risking everything – pushing himself to the point of hospitalisation as he tried to expand his Indigenous not-for-profit globally. 

Together they’re stronger and bolder, pursuing separate passion projects but with a shared mission to leave the world a better place.
