Remember when you were a kid and you dreamed of being a fireman or a princess or a rodeo clown?  It seems that as we get older we get locked into the idea that life should look a certain way and we let go of our dreams and live the corporate life set out before us.  Today’s guest, Gavin Sequeira, author of “Break Free From Corporate”, was pushed out of his corporate role:  a challenge that set him on the path he’s now on of living his passion and inspiring others to do the same.  We hear about the initial event that changed his life, the path his life was on beforehand and where it’s at now.  We also catch a glimpse of his personal life in a game of “How did it get there”, looking at items in his living room and another game of “Have you ever?” as Luke asks the deep questions of the true joy of working for yourself.

Susannah McFarlane is a children's book author who was adopted out at birth. Told that her mother loved her and wanted her, but couldn’t look after her, the illusion was shattered when they met. 

Luke’s eyes lit up when he heard we were chatting with Limahl.  With his mega hit, “Neverending Story”, Limahl is heading to Australia with the Totally 80s Tour, hitting Aussie shores for the first time in 33 years.  We hear the story of the bold ad of a “Good looking, talented singer/songwriter/frontman…” and how that boldness saw him get into a band, and then the story that led to him leaving the band.  Good thing he left, too, or we might not have the timeless song of “Neverending Story” as we know it today.
