This one will surprise you as it is not a female guest!

I asked Mike to join me to provide insight from the opposite side & to learn what it is like from a males perspective.

Join me as I talk Purpose vs Passion with Christine MacMillan from Women Offshore; we explore what that may look like to different people & how we may recognise it.

Kate joins me today to talk about her love for the ocean & a dream of a life at sea.

Growing up in Victoria on the waterways coupled with a Maritime family sewed the seed early on for this North Queensland Pilot.

One of Australia's few female pilot's, Kate paved the way & overcame hurdles of the system to flourish and eventually find her place, paving the way once again & inspiring future female mariners.

On today's podcast I am joined by a fantastic woman who is so unique she is the only one. The only female Pilot in India, with a passion for equality that extends far & wide.

She enlightens us to the many changes adapted in India in recent times & how they are leading the charge in many areas.

Listen in as she shows no fear for facing the hard & uncomfortable topics that we run away from all too often; & calls out the legislative authorities for the snail pace approach to equality for all in our industry.

We pay tribute to parents, educators & mentors for their ongoing support & enthusiasm in this encapsulating discussion.

Join me as I talk with Christine about a lifetime dream to be of service to her country & how that came to be a life at sea. We talk about creating our own stumbling blocks & how life might have looked different if we had a mentor to guide us. And how we can learn from challenging confrontations & expectations in new roles.
