Read MoreWelcome to the 200th episode! Just over 5 years ago I recorded the first episode and I could of never envisaged this is where we would be right now. I have spent this episode with the roles reversed and Holly interviewing me with all your questions.
I was a nervous wreck recording that first episode and hated the sound of my own voice. I thought why would anyone listen to me anyway. But that first episode was dedicated to a friend of mine who had passed away and was really what gave me the push to just go for it.
The industry was a very different place at that time and I did not feel welcomed. We hope that this podcast as well as KOMPAK has helped flip that and that no one ever has to feel that way.

Read MoreKnowing when to end a competing season…sometimes it is black and white and sometimes the lines are a bit more blurry.
The million dollar question is always so ‘when is your next show?'‘ and it can feel like this question is loaded with pressure and expectation. In this episode I cover what is next for me and how I make the decision on whether to carry on or not. I also discuss why I think we should normalise the question of ‘what is next for you?’ instead.
