In this Business and Finance Spotlight hosted by RSM Partner Nadine Marke, we hypothetically adopted an aviation theme and explored the journeys of businesses and individuals who have navigated headwinds to thrive.

We also spoke to dual Olympic gold-medal swimmer and world champion Bronte Campbell OAM about the daunting flight she’s been on as she opened up about her time at the Tokyo Olympics, her third Olympics. We finished with a candid presentation from experienced former CFO and now RSM Partner Craig Amos who has taken many companies through transformational journeys – he shared lessons he’s learnt from taking calculated risks.
