What if everything changed in an instant? Curveball returns
One day you can be striding into work in a suit worth thousands of dollars, and the next you can be at home in your pyjamas struggling to connect your laptop to the WiFi in time for a job interview well below your pay grade.
Tragedy, failure, loss – they’re all part of life’s ups and downs. Life happens to all of us, no matter how much success you’ve achieved, how fancy your job title is, or how much money you earn.
But when the dust settles, it's these moments that make you. What you do when it’s all falling apart shows what you’re really made of.
It’s the lessons advertising executive Dee Madigan learned from a turbulent childhood, completing her studies living above a pub, that propelled her into the engine room of federal politics.
Or how best-selling author Trent Dalton turned the most difficult moments of his dark childhood into a best-selling novel and Netflix series.
You’ll also hear from world-leading journalist and editor Alan Rusbridger, lipstick entreprensuer Poppy King, and cave diver and anaesthetist Richard Harris who re-counts the incredible rescue of 13 soccer players in a flooded cave in Thailand.
Season 4 of Curveball is full of leaders who’ve learned valuable lessons at unexpected moments.
