How exactly does a CEO negotiate their exit from a company? Is it like getting a divorce... where it might be publicly amicable for the sake of the kids but really everyone’s secretly shirty with each other? 

Outgoing Virgin Australia CEO Paul Scurrah joins host Kellie Riordan in her make-shift home studio to discuss how he handled the final curveball thrown at him as he was replaced by a former Qantas executive. 

In this exclusive BONUS episode recorded during his departure, we talk about the rough and tumble of corporate take-overs and the cost on those cut loose. 

What does Scurrah think of the direction Virgin Australia is headed under new leader Jayne Hrdlicka? 

Plus, with rumours swirling that he may be in contention for Australia Post’s top job, what’s next for Paul Scurrah?
