Ep. 2: From $15 to the Australian Dream

July 29, 2024 • Ashley Linkewich

In this first official episode of the Emerging Leader Podcast, I share my journey about moving from a small town in Canada to establishing my career in Australia. I answer the most commonly asked question of "why did you come to Australia?", and share about how I turned my last $15 into my first engineering role.

This episode offers valuable lessons on taking responsibility for one's outcomes, building authentic relationships, and staying true to one's values.
