    Ian Learmonth

    Ian Learmonth is the CEO of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, who invest in Australia’s transition to lower emissions. The coronavirus is having a devastating effect on the world. In trying to come to terms with the horrendous loss of life and enormous economic impact, we desperately seek some positives. Any positives.

    Kirra Dibb

    Kirra Dibb is a professional rugby league player. At this stage, a full time football career is not really an option for women.

    Bruce Davidson

    The CEO of one of Australia’s largest privately-owned recruitment and consulting companies. An industry that, along with many others, was devastated by the effect of coronavirus. He started using the situation as an opportunity to think a little differently. To think creatively. How to get through this with minimal damage to the company and, more importantly, his staff. The sort of business leader worth listening to.

    Tim and Honor Northam

    They moved to the south coast of New South Wales with their kids to create an idyllic life. With the rising success of their bakery, it was all on track. Then, two unprecedented crises hit them within the space of three months (the bushfires anyone!!?). Most of us would be... a little disheartened with this. But not these two. Listen how to make the most from being dealt a pretty ordinary hand.

    Alex the Astronaut

    Alex is a favourite on Australia’s national youth radio station Triple J. Having undertaken a soccer scholarship in New York while completing her degree in mathematics and physics, she used her spare time (!!) to write music. On her return to Australia she launched her music career. Her national success combined with her humility and humanity is inspiring.  https://www.gofundme.com/f/masks-for-manhattan

    Georgina and Nick Sindel

    A brother and sister overseas in seperate countries. They fly home and are forced into a 14 day lock up in a pretty ordinary hotel. Coincidentally, the same hotel. They talk to us from the inside and share their experiences on how they ended up there, what they do to pass the time and what they were most looking forward to on the outside. You might be surprised.
