Curveball

Fasten your seatbelt and switch your phone to airplane mode, because host Kellie Riordan is taking you for a ride into Virgin Australia’s headquarters during the worst crisis in aviation history. 

CEO Paul Scurrah springs into action as COVID-19 hits, the international borders slam shut, and then days later, domestic flights are grounded too. 

The airline loses access to $6 billion in revenue almost overnight, prompting crisis meetings, staff redundancies and meetings with administrators. 

But just as he shepherds the company out of administration and to a new buyer... another huge curveball is en route for Paul Scurrah. Is he in for more turbulence?

We’ve all been thrown curveballs this year. But how do you pull yourself through the fear? How do you cope with things you didn’t see coming? 

Host Kellie Riordan goes in search of our boldest and bravest leaders to ask them how they've tackled the toughest moments of their careers — and lives. 

And she's not just asking for a friend... Kellie has been dealt a few curveballs this year too.
