You might know Katie Flood from the Bravo reality shows Below Deck Mediterranean, or Winter House, or maybe you don’t know her at all: and that’s totally fine, because that’s what these conversations are all about- getting to know people or getting to learn more about people you may have a pre-formed opinion on.
Katie Flood is from Whangārei, she went to boarding school in Auckland, then somehow ended up working on some of the most expensive superyachts in the world, serving the sort of people whose names most of us only see on the Forbes Rich list or on TMZ.
And some of the stories are wild.
We talk about what life is really like working for billionaires, the difference between real yachting and the Below Deck, the biggest tip she ever got (which was from Simon Cowell) and what Leonardo DiCaprio is actually like when he casually wanders onto a boat in the south of France!
We also talk about some darker, heavier stuff: anxiety, grief, burnout, being suddenly thrown into the Bravo universe, online hate, and what it’s like living in Dubai while missiles are being intercepted overhead.
This was the first time we met and my impression was Katie is funny, honest, self-aware, very Kiwi and very very sweary!
I loved this conversation because it went to places I absolutely did not expect in her trademark authentic unapologetic unfiltered style.
I hope you like it :)
