In this episode of Inspired to Soar with Hannah, we sit down with Paul Pingiaro , a man who doesn’t just wear multiple hats… he hand-stitches them from grit, legacy, and action.
Paul’s story is a masterclass in grounded leadership. From building his family home with his dad, to earning his pilot's licence at 17, to running the award-winning Mornington Boat Hire and now serving as the Deputy Mayor of the Mornington Peninsula, Paul is proof that impact starts at home and scales through service.
We talk about:
⚓ Growing up with deep roots in Mornington and Mt Martha
✈️ His adventures as a young commercial pilot
🌱 Why tourism + conservation must walk hand-in-hand
🧭 The real reason he ran for Council
❤️🔥 And how he stays grounded through it all
This one is about leadership, legacy, and living in alignment with what matters.
💭 “When you lead with purpose, promises become action—and action becomes impact.”
— Paul
