In this special milestone episode, I’m joined by Russell Higginbotham, an industry leader with over 30 years of global experience in reinsurance, spanning Japan, Australia, Europe and beyond.

Russell is not only the first man to join the podcast, but he’s also someone I’ve worked with and respected for years. We dive deep into his recent life and career transition - from executive leadership at Swiss Re to the reflective space of garden leave. This conversation explores:

• The physical and emotional signs of burnout - and what slowing down really looks like
• How to listen to your body (and your gut) when it’s time to pivot
• Navigating redundancy with purpose, not panic
• Why imposter syndrome doesn’t end at the top — and how to face it head-on
• The power of your professional network in uncertain times

If you're feeling stuck, burnt out, or ready for something new - this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.
