Be the change you wish to see in the world

David Knoff is a former Antarctic Station and Voyage leader and led the team at Australia’s Davis Research station in 2020. The worst of the COVID-19 pandemic then left them isolated far longer than ever expected. David’s new book ‘537 Days of Winter‘ tells the story of what happened.

In this episode with David, I ask him:

  1. What were the physical and psychological changes that you went through during that time?
  2. In Antarctica, how do you manage the balance between looking after yourself as the leader and looking after the group’s needs?
  3. When things weren’t going well, how did you find the motivation to keep going? What did you do to motivate others?
  4. What was the biggest change you noticed when you got back after having missed 2020 and the worst of the pandemic?
  5. What was the biggest challenge when it came to writing about your experience?
  6. And so much more.
