S2 Ep 6: From Event Director of Bristol International Balloon Fiesta to Pig Farmer: Susan Tanner

The Next Chapter by Ellie Barker - A podcast by Ellie Barker - Thursdays

Categories:

In Susan Tanner’s words, she has never really known where her career is going, but what a journey it has taken her on. One of the first stops was the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. It wasn’t quite the enormous event it is now when she arrived and over the years she helped it grow into the only fiesta of its kind in Europe. Susan speaks openly about how she navigated the ups and downs (and weather) and what it really was like during those momentous weekends. But if you think Susan planned her next chapter like the fiesta, think again. One television appearance and everything changed. Susan now loves working as a pig farmer but that’s not all, there's many more twist and turns on her journey. So be ready, Susan’s bravery and honesty in conversation may take you somewhere you’re not expecting - a bit like one of those balloon flights.
