The Lightbulb Moment with seven-time Archibald Art Prize finalist Kim Leutwyler

The Lightbulb Moment explores electrifying moments of realisation and inspiration from entrepreneurs in diverse fields. 

Hosted by cultural entrepreneur and author, Emilya Colliver, we ask entrepreneurs about their “lightbulb moment” i.e. their creative epiphany, to find out what brought it on and how they followed through with it to get where there are today. Each episode is packed with practical tips to work towards your own lightbulb moment.
