Cairns Eye

Published: Friday, 30 June 2017

Returning to my hometown Cairns is always relaxing.  Returning to Cairns in winter is a luxury - because the weather is lovely, and not cold at all.  Centacare have a program where they are mentoring 20 people in launching their companies.  They invited me to give a public lecture to share my experiences and advice in starting a company.  To promote the lecture, the Cairns Post featured me on the cover of their Weekend newspaper magazine.
