Fasten your seatbelt and switch your phone to airplane mode, because host Kellie Riordan is taking you for a ride into Virgin Australia’s headquarters during the worst crisis in aviation history. 

CEO Paul Scurrah springs into action as COVID-19 hits, the international borders slam shut, and then days later, domestic flights are grounded too. 

The airline loses access to $6 billion in revenue almost overnight, prompting crisis meetings, staff redundancies and meetings with administrators. 

But just as he shepherds the company out of administration and to a new buyer... another huge curveball is en route for Paul Scurrah. Is he in for more turbulence? 

Curveball is the show where leaders are honest about their darkest moments. We give you a ringside seat as the brightest bosses navigate their biggest challenges, and share tips with you on how to thrive in challenging times. 

And do share your stories with us. How have you swerved and adapted on the run? Use your phone to record a voice memo and email it to hello@deadsetstudios.com
