  • Soft Pastels with artist Henriette Van Staden
    Henriette van Staden is a soft pastel artist specialising in realistic
    wildlife and pet portraits. An artist at heart, she swapped a successful
    career in wedding photography for one in soft pastels and coloured pencils.
    Henriette is open, friendly and honest about her journey as an artist, and
    what I learnt from her is to treat a career in art like one would any other
    - have a plan, and work steadily towards it.

  • Miriam Lancewood - Writer, "Woman in the Wilderness"
    Miriam Lancewood is an extraordinary writer who lives in the wilderness of
    New Zealand’s rugged South Island. Miriam and her husband, Peter, live
    mostly in a tent, or the occasional hut, and she hunts, fishes and forages
    for their food. She’s gone from being a vegetarian to someone who lives
    almost completely off the land and what it provides. Her book is one of the
    most inspirational, funny and honest books I’ve had the pleasure of reading
    in a long time and it’s definitely a recommended read.

  • Betty In The Sky - flight attendant, podcaster and author
    Betty Thesky is first a flight attendant, but in her spare time, she’s a
    writer and podcaster with a phenomenally successful show! I came across
    Betty because she’s mentioned in Guy Kawasaki’s book “Enchanted”. Her show,
    and her many books, draw on her experiences as a flight attendant. Betty is
    funny, lighthearted, energetic and she lives the ideal writers life! (And
    she sounds like she has a huge amount of fun doing it! )
