Our guest on episode five of Chunk of Change is Michael Kennedy, Chief Executive Officer of Snow Australia. A certifiable powder hound from the age of two who became Australia’s longest serving sports administrator, Michael shares his unique perspective on how to turn your lifelong passion into a prosperous and rewarding career.

In his 18-year tenure as CEO, Michael has overseen the most significant transformation of the governance and operations of snow sports in Australia's history. His vision for using high performance sport to create a pathway for athletes has resulted in Australian competitors delivering multi medal outcomes in all four of the last Olympics and he's overseen a restructure that’s successfully merged all state associations under one unified, national umbrella.

Michael inspires with the lightness of a person at one with their chosen path, contrasted by a steely determination to speak the truth as a business leader and coach. An exceptional storyteller, Michael honours the impact and legacy of his friend Chumpy Pullin and lets us in on the argument he had with Alisa Camplin just seconds before her gold medal winning jump!
