About

What if the things we throw away could inspire us to rethink what’s possible in our own lives?

Join Samuel McLennan, founder of Project Interrupt, for an inspiring and thought-provoking two-hour experience exploring the extraordinary story of HEART — a sailing vessel built almost entirely from discarded marine materials.

From experiencing homelessness to spending two years building a boat from rubbish and sailing it along Australia’s coastline, Samuel’s journey is one of creativity, resourcefulness, courage and determination.

But this event is about much more than a boat.

Samuel shares stories and insights from his own life, including the challenges, setbacks and experiences that have shaped who he is today. Drawing on more than 15 years of personal development and working with people, he explores how our beliefs, emotions and perspectives influence the lives we create.

Through storytelling, interactive conversations and personal reflections, we’ll explore the connections between mental health, human performance and the health of our environment.

We’ll look at how taking responsibility can transform our lives, how we can move beyond limiting beliefs, and how creativity and resourcefulness can open doors to possibilities we never imagined.

This isn’t simply a presentation about building a boat or sailing the coastline. It’s an invitation to look at ourselves, our relationships and the world around us from a different perspective.
