My guest for the final episode of season one of the podcast has been a huge influence on my life and career, and I’m thrilled to have her on the show. Kerry Chikarovski, or Chika as she’s widely known, rose to prominence as one of the first women to hold a leadership role in Australian politics and the first woman to lead a major political party in New South Wales. Despite a lack of female role models, Kerry was determined to become a politician from a young age. She began her career as a solicitor and won pre-selection against the odds for a safe Liberal seat in Sydney in 1991. In 1998 she became the leader of the New South Wales Liberal party, a position she held until her resignation in 2002. Since then Chika has built a highly successful career as a government relations consultant through her company, Chikarovski & Associates, as well a sought-after board director with current board position with the NSW Waratahs, Our Watch, Adopt Change and the Humpty Dumpty Foundation. You might have seen Chika on the small screen as a commentator for programs like Ch 7 Sunrise, ABC Weekend Breakfast, Sky News The Bolt Report and ABC The Drum, and she certainly knows how to tell a good story. Tune in to hear how a chance encounter with US Senator Robert Kennedy sparked Chika’s career ambitions at the age of 13, how breaking down over the ironing board finally pushed her to pursue her dreams, why she is a rugby tragic and her secret passion for trash TV. Kerry’s Five in Five shout-out: I’m very humbled that she dedicated her shout-out to The PR Hub!

Mel chats with Paul Francis, Founder and Executive Chairman of the Humpty Dumpty Foundation about The Great Humpty Ball! You're invited to help purchase life saving medical equipment and help the kids of The NT.
Phil Kearns (Wallabies captain and now commentator with Fox Sports) sat down with Fiona and talked all things rugby, from how he started in the game and went from not making the first XV to captaining the Wallabies, to the state of the game today and what needs to be done to bring it back to its best. He offers a radical overhaul to the Super Rugby comp in which South Africa is dumped (probably not going to happen though) and talks through some of the greatest All Blacks from his time and since - and yes, Richie McCaw is still a cheating bastard. He explains how he started the Balmoral Burn fun run and how the Humpty Dumpty Foundation helped save his children's lives. Those “emotionally terrifying” moments of his kids being near death have made him live life to the full. The two discuss the tough job of parenting and striking the balance of when to push your kids. Plus, he explains why sportspeople have learnt great skills on the field that transfer so well to a corporate career and how he juggles running a company, a commentary career and family time.
