Dwayne Good is no stranger to fighting for survival.  

Kicked out of home as a teen, and then struggling after the death of his mum, Dwayne drifted until he found himself on an idyllic holiday in Thailand. But it was 2004 and a killer tsunami was about to up-end his life in more ways than one. 

“The best way to summarize it is confusing. What the hell am I going to do? What have I just seen? What does it all mean? That goes through your head. I did suffer from post-traumatic stress,” he reveals. 

Dwayne Good is Executive Director and Founder of InTravel Group, a 100-percent Indigenous-owned business. He shares his story of working his way up the corporate ladder, to establishing his own company, and the journey of a joint venture with a corporate partner.

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.
