| Sacrifice Stories - What Happens When We Truly Listen | 23 Jun 2026 | 00:44:06 | |
What happens when you slow down enough to truly listen? In this episode of Connect with Confidence, I’m joined by photographer William Debois - someone who quite literally travelled thousands of kilometers to meet strangers and ask just two simple questions: - What does sacrifice mean to you? - What sacrifice have you made? What emerged is a beautiful collection of portraits and stories - powerful, unexpected and inspiring. William shares the heart behind his Sacrifice Stories project - from travelling with a medium format film camera (limited to just 12 shots per roll) to developing film in makeshift darkrooms across Australia. But more than the photography, this is a conversation about presence, listening and connection. We explore: - Why listening matters more than talking - The beauty of “ordinary” lives and unseen sacrifice - How constraints (like 12 frames) can deepen creativity - What it means to meet people without assumptions - The surprising impact of being truly heard This conversation is a reminder that meaningful connection doesn’t require perfect conditions… just curiosity and willingness.

| Saying Yes Before You Feel Ready - Rachel Hartigan on Amelia Earhart, Courage and Curiosity | 14 Jun 2026 | 00:49:27 | |
In this fascinating and beautifully human conversation, Kerrie speaks with journalist and author Rachel Hartigan, whose book Lost: Amelia Earhart’s Three Mysterious Deaths and One Extraordinary Life explores not only the mystery of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance, but also the people who have spent decades searching for answers. Rachel shares how a chance hallway conversation at National Geographic led her to join expeditions to Nikumaroro, a remote Pacific island connected to one of the enduring theories about Earhart’s disappearance. From ocean-going ships and turbulent reef crossings to research vessels, bone-detecting dogs, and the eerie vastness of the Pacific, Rachel reflects on courage, curiosity and the humbling feeling of being far beyond the familiar. Together, Kerrie and Rachel explore the line between courage and risk, the importance of remembering the real people behind public stories, the changing world of journalism, the grounding power of walking the dog, and the everyday communities that form when we take time to connect. This episode is a reminder that courage may look like an expedition across the Pacific — or simply saying hello at the dog park. Loved this episode?

| No Syllabus, No Classroom - Why Social Labs Are the Future of Learning | 23 Jan 2026 | 00:39:48 | |
What does learning look like when there’s no syllabus, no classroom and no exams? In this special in-person episode of Connect with Confidence, Kerrie returns to Coimbatore, India, to reconnect with educator and changemaker Dr.K.K.Ramachandran (Dr KKR) five years after their last conversation during the global lockdown. Together, they explore what has changed in education, technology, leadership and learning and what matters more than ever. This conversation weaves together:
Dr KKR shares moving stories of students creating real-world impacts from transforming orphanages with art, to caring for street dogs, to designing safer communities through simple, thoughtful innovation. We also hear a powerful personal story, a quiet moment with Sachin Tendulkar and what elite performance can teach all of us about pressure, presence and focus. This is a conversation about learning as an act of hope and education as something that belongs to all of us. Loved this episode?

| The Potato Economy of Connection with Kelly Hopkins | 06 Jan 2026 | 00:51:49 | |
In this episode, Kerrie sits down with the much-mentioned (and very busy) Kelly Hopkins – a natural connector, community-builder and champion of collaboration. Fresh from being a finalist at the Prime Minister’s Awards, Kelly shares what it’s like to be recognised for work that she describes as “just what we do organically” – the kind of behind-the-scenes, people-first impact that rarely makes headlines, but changes lives. Together, Kerrie and Kelly explore what it means to build an ecosystem – not an exclusive group, but a growing network where people feel welcomed, seen, and supported across industries and states. Kelly also shares the deeply personal moment that reshaped how she wants to live: the realisation, after her dad’s funeral, that kindness is the legacy that lasts. You’ll also hear stories of:

| Know Someone, Not Everyone: Rob Ferre's Guide to Authentic Connections | 24 Jun 2025 | 00:37:19 | |
In this engaging episode of "Connect with Confidence," host Kerrie welcomes Rob Ferre, a dynamic speaker and theme park enthusiast from Salt Lake City, Utah. Rob shares his philosophy of connecting deeply with people, emphasizing the importance of asking meaningful questions and avoiding "relationship arrogance." Drawing from his experiences as a global traveler and professional speaker, Rob recounts his journey to Singapore for the Asia Professional Speakers Convention. He highlights the power of authentic connections, sharing stories that demonstrate how genuine curiosity can transform seemingly mundane interactions into profound moments of understanding. One particularly compelling narrative involves a chance encounter on an airplane, where Rob's simple question, "Are you going home or to work?" led to a transformative conversation with a displaced chef from Hawaii. This story illustrates Rob's belief in giving people grace and seeking to understand their deeper stories. Rob's passion for theme parks serves as a metaphor for his approach to life and connections. He describes magical experiences at Universal Studios and Disney Sea, comparing his sense of wonder to how he approaches networking and speaking engagements. His mantra of "know someone, not everyone" reflects a commitment to meaningful, depth-driven interactions. The podcast explores themes of vulnerability, confidence, and human connection. Rob candidly discusses moments of imposter syndrome, sharing how support from his wife helped him overcome self-doubt before a significant keynote in Italy. He advocates for asking unique, thought-provoking questions that go beyond surface-level small talk. Kerrie and Rob's conversation seamlessly weaves between personal anecdotes, professional insights, and philosophical reflections on human interaction. They discuss the importance of authenticity, the value of empathy, and how genuine connections can transform both personal and professional experiences. Listeners are invited to embrace curiosity, approach interactions with openness, and recognize the extraordinary potential in seemingly ordinary moments of connection. Loved this episode?

| Building a Business You Actually Enjoy | 22 May 2026 | 00:31:00 | |
What if building a successful business didn’t have to mean carrying everything? What if it could actually feel… enjoyable? In this thoughtful and spacious conversation, I sit down with Ellen Bathgate - someone I’ve had the privilege of journeying alongside for nearly two decades. We begin with a simple but powerful reflection from Ellen’s younger years, writing letters to her future self and what it reveals about how much we change over time… and how freeing that can be. From there, we explore what it really looks like to build a business you enjoy:
We also gently unpack something deeper, that enjoying your business isn’t just about what you do… It’s about how aligned you feel with it. Because knowing how to do something isn’t the same as being fully on board with it. This is a conversation about designing your work in a way that fits you. About letting go of what no longer serves and giving yourself space to think… so you can build something that truly feels like your own. Loved this episode?

| The Courage Gap and Timidity Tax with Dr Margie Warrell | 16 Apr 2025 | 00:59:03 | |
If you’ve ever wrestled with fear or self-doubt – and who hasn’t? – this conversation is for you. I’ve been looking forward to this episode with Margie Warrell for a while. 😀 Margie brings such deep wisdom and realness to conversations about courage, leadership, and growth. When she’s not being interviewed or speaking about her new book The Courage Gap, she’s in significant conversations with congressional chiefs and other leaders in fast-changing environments – helping them lead with courage and clarity in complex times. We talked about everything from the “timidity tax” to post-traumatic growth, and some personal stories that shaped us both. It’s a rich, honest conversation about rising above fear and showing up with empathy – for ourselves and others. A few highlights from this episode: • What the timidity tax is, and how it silently impacts our lives and leadership • How post-traumatic growth can emerge from the hardest experiences • Why empathy and self-compassion are essential, not optional • The healing power of sharing your story – and writing to serve, not to impress • Choosing love, power and a sound mind over fear • Courageous conversations – why we need them now more than ever.
