Today – March 8 – is International Women’s Day. And to celebrate, on today ‘s Masters of the Risk Universe episode, I am going to explore the life and times of three queens of rock and roll: Debbie Harry, Patti Smith and Pat Benatar.

Growing up as a kid in Australia, these three women were the three I dreamed of being when I grew up. Not necessarily as a singer or a musician. I am a trained musician, but I am no singer.

When I say I dreamed of being them, I more refer to me somehow being able to mimic their self-assuredness. Embrace their willingness to step outside the boundaries. Somehow become as courageous as them when confronting and taming the unknown.

For a young mixed race kid in Australia in the 1970s and 1980s, and that was a hard time, let me tell you. As a mixed race kid who didn’t really know her place, and always felt out of place. These three women encouraged me to dream and to dream big.

So, today, a very personal exploration of three masters of everything. This won’t be the usual Risktory episode, heavy on facts, with a little opinion mixed in to bring it all together.

This will be a story of how these three women influenced me as a woman, and how their mastery of the unknown, influences me – to this day – as a risk practitioner.
