Summer Series # 3 - "One moment of Fate"

“One moment of Fate” was all it took to change the lives of 3 guys.

Nick Lim openly admits at the start of this podcast, he’s been someone who’s fairly afraid of being caught out … of not knowing enough. He also says … “I’m always looking for endorsement, authority … someone to say you’re the right person”.

Yet he is recognised around town as a hustler, someone who connects people and gets things done. In fact, I first met Nick during the organisation of a massive design thinking event he was leading.

Justin Davies has spent his career continually trying to “keep off the rocks” whilst learning as it goes. Starting one business within weeks of the Tech Wreck in the early 2000’s and then setting up his current business Emergination in 2008 … right in the middle of the 2008 financial crash.

As a pioneer in tech innovation in WA, Justin has played a pivotal role in shaping the local business scene and in a way that involved “just having a go” in an ever changing business environment. And, much of this coming from a chance opportunity of sitting next to an international visitor to WA at a Tech Conference in the 90’s.

During his career, seasoned TV personality Simon Reeve traveled too many places around the world presenting television shows…but it was Africa, especially South Africa, that really captured his heart.

From the moment he first visited Zimbabwe in the 1990’s, he was captured by the smells, the air … the charms. So much so, that in the late 1990’s he moved his family to Botswana and formed a production company attached to a safari operation.
