## Resource

In this episode of the Mountain Club Podcast, we sit down with Laura Nicol — startup operator, community builder, and host of the Calling Operator podcast. From pouring pints at Zephyr Bar to becoming Chief of Staff at Co Ventures, Laura's journey is one of bold pivots and purpose-driven impact. We unpack her deep love of Queenstown, reflections on burnout and self-care, and the power of community in fast-paced environments. With a move to Melbourne on the horizon, Laura shares her hopes for deeper connections, personal evolution, and Queenstown's potential as a future innovation hub. If you're navigating change or building something new, this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and a little Jack's Point perspective.
