Giving in is not the same as giving up. Sometimes, despite your best intentions, things don’t just work out and it’s better to give in to the signs. 

So many leaders on Curveball have, at some point, found themselves in a tricky situation. And yes,  sometimes they’ve pulled through. 

But what about those times you just can’t pull a rabbit out of a hat? How do you know when it’s time to call time on your business or your dream? 

Running any company involves the fine art of juggling when to push beyond the limits, and when to call it quits. Top leaders share their stories of knowing when to fold them... just like As Kenny Rogers sang!

The human experience is all about adapting. Whether it’s a CEO trying to ride out an international travel crisis, a surfer struggling against a monster wave while his floatation vest fails, or a media star whose whole life changes in an instant, rarely do you get to glimpse what’s really going on during a someone's darkest hour.

In these revealing, personal conversations with a range of successful people, Curveball host Kellie Riordan gets the lowdown on how people grow in extraordinary times.

Giving in is not the same as giving up. Sometimes, despite your best intentions, something’s not working and it’s better to call time.
