Staring down a board coup when they’re baying for your scalp. Taking back control when you’ve sold a stake in your company. Trusting your vision when you’ve lost it all before.
Curveball is back and the stakes have never been higher.
Join host Kellie Riordan as she navigates her own start-up journey and learns from other leaders about how they thrive when the chips are down.
Richmond Tigers president Peggy O’Neal. Vinomofo founder Justin Dry. Australia’s longest-serving Sex Discrimination Commissioner Elizabeth Broderick. These leaders have used smarts, hard work and resilience to make it through their own trials by fire.
