Well, this was the first (LIVE recording on site) of what I hope is many and also at least 8 years in the making. 

You know when you met someone and you just know...... there's a story there. 

This is Kate Kirkpatrick. 

And this is part one, because this woman has a few layers and we have only peeled back one. 

I got to interview Kate live from the Grampians Grape Escape. An event she has been the director of for the past 9 years. 

You can hear the crowd, you can hear the music, you can hear the fun that is everything that is all wrapped up in the event and it's great big heart. 

This is a festival to celebrate the region.

This is a festival that brings the locals together and attracts the tourists. 

Fires have ripped through this region.

The emotion of those fires is still bubbling just under the surface. The locals have had to fight. Not just for their homes, but their livelihoods. 

You can see the black trees and two summers on while the feeling is still raw you can see the green of the new gum trees. You can see a community saying our arms are open come say G'Day. 

This episode was recorded on location of the Grape Escape and it is a part one because we didn't even touch the outside.

This episode is as much about the event as the woman and team behind it. 

Enjoy the episode. 

Our first LIVE recording.

Women of Influence, with Kate Meade. We are on a mission to find the most incredible women. Some we will know, others are going about their daily lives. Everyone has a story. She is a CEO, She is a volunteer, She is a TV host, She is a doctor, an educator, a scientist, a leader. She is just getting on with it. What can we learn from her, what’s her message? Join me to celebrate incredible, inspiring women and shine a great big beacon of light on their stories. Let’s learn from the women that are paving the way for us. I love to learn and my favorite way is through storytelling. I am curious - absolutely fascinated - with people's stories. I can’t wait to get to KNOW the person in front of me and HOW they got to be where they are today. Where did they grow up, what gets them excited, why do they do what they do and, when it gets tough… why do they do what they do? This is the Women of Influence Podcast.
