KRISSY'S ROUNDTABLE

The morning after a sleepless night with the baby, my husband questioned my budgets

KRISSY'S ROUNDTABLE

Show Notes

A stranger on a boat asked me about foreign exchange at 17. That yes started a whole career... and taught me what a mentor really is.

I never went looking for one. I just kept saying yes, and the right people kept turning up. The trading floor. The chef at the Ritz. The coffee that became a job. Then the GFC hit, I'd gone two years without a wage, and my husband walked into my business and started questioning my budgets the morning after I'd been up all night with the baby.

What you'll get: • The chance meetings that built a career • How to survive your partner in your business • A simple way to take advice without losing yourself

What happens when the faithfuls, not the traitors, are the ones who send you home? Australian Idol's Cosima De Vito walked into the manor with a commerce degree, her own record label and no game plan, having never watched a single episode. Three days later she was banished. Cosima reveals why she gravitated to Dicko the second he stepped out of the car, the breakfast where she "became all wog on everyone", the moment she found out it was the faithfuls who kept Cam Merchant out for the money, and why she could not play the game after that. Krissy Marsh was at that table too, and admits she clocked Kirby Bentley on day one and was ready to write her name down. Together they break down what it actually takes to be a traitor: a poker face, a bit of an arsehole, and the way Kirby meets every person at their level so nobody ever feels played. Plus, why Cosima could never vote against Dicko or Rob Farnham, the Rachael Evren run-in that had Krissy fighting for her life, what her daughter Amelia said when she got home, and the day she said no to The Voice.
