Flow Seekers by Blue Derby Pods Ride
"Flow is a moment, when suddenly, life is simple. It’s fun, it’s being close to nature, and it stimulates focus – which when combined can achieve clarity like no other. This is where moments of realisation are born” ... Or at least, that is how we describe it. Presented by Tara Howell, Co-Director of luxury adventure and world first Tasmanian tourism mountain biking business, Blue Derby Pods Ride, where Experiences are curated to help their guests ‘experience the flow’.

Tara interviews some of the world’s most interesting individuals and delves deep into conversation about their life and stories of how they #experiencetheflow. Listen in for inspiration, education, entertainment and all going to plan, a moment in ‘flow’.

John Bertrand AO - High Performing Teams, Leadership And Flow In Slow Motion
Welcome back! We are so excited to share with you our second podcast interview, this time with the incredibly worthy, John Bertrand AO.
For many of you, John will need no introduction as he famously skippered Australia II to victory in the 1983 America’s Cup ending a 132-year winning streak by the Americans. Further to this John is an Olympian, has authored a number of books, was chairperson of the Sport Australia Hall of Fame and The Alannah and Madeline Foundation, and President of Swimming Australia. He was also awarded an Order of Australia medal in 2016.
John's life achievements, some of which are listed above, have borne the result of a deep understanding of flow state, both theoretically and practically.
