Galloping to the extraordinary

34 minutes

This week we take a slight change of pace from our previous podcast episodes where we’ve been speaking to retail business leaders. But as the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Sally Capp and her team play an important role in supporting business growth in the Melbourne CBD and to help small businesses navigate the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lord Mayor Sally Capp has had some interesting roles in the past, including Agent-General for Victoria in the UK, Europe and Israel. ‘What’s that job?’ you may ask... Sally explains during the interview.

Paul and Sally Capp discuss:

The big C word... COVID

Finding a new rhythm for CBD working

Creating a city of possibility

Growing up in a family small business

Jumping at new opportunities

Shaping the future of communities and the economy

Local government beyond roads, rates and rubbish

Navigating the male-dominated corporate world
