Who is Shira O'Sullivan?
Shira O'Sullivan is the co-founder and director of gentSac. Shira O’Sullivan co-founded premium men’s grooming brand gentSac with her partner Ross in 2015. With an ambition to transform the way men approach personal grooming, the brand is at the forefront of tailored subscription options and is currently the only offering of its kind in Australia.
A personalised, easy-to-use service, gentSac offers specially curated Sacs filled with male essentials that can be purchased as a subscription or on a one-off basis to encourage men to take pride in their daily grooming.
In her late teens gentSac founder Shira began her retail career with Australian women’s fashion brand CUE clothing. She quickly established herself as one of the top sellers in the business nationally and moved through the ranks into the management team where she oversaw flagship stores. Her dynamic approach to sales had a major impact on the business and after some great achievements she took on a state role for high-end fashion business, Funky Femme.
While working closely with the general manager at Funky Femme, Shira also took on a contract role with Review, troubleshooting and sales training with poor performing stores to increase revenue and establish stronger teams. With her background in retail, sales and human resource management Shira was soon managing major retail projects while running training and development for national and international brands including Michael Paige and Sheike. This experience has enabled her to better understand and value the needs and demands of target consumers. Thanks to her ability to source quality products and relate to the needs and demands of consumers it’s no surprise Shira is now at the helm of her own successful brand.
Shira credits her partner Ross for inspiring gentSac. The idea came after a ‘lightbulb moment’. Ross, like so many other men, was less than confident when it came to sourcing quality grooming products that met his individual needs. Undoubtedly, there was a gap in the marketplace for an offering that catered to this consumer.
Shira looked into market research, which overwhelmingly supported Ross’ statement– that Australian men are time-poor, use substandard products that do not meet their specific needs and have a misconception that good grooming habits are far too expensive to maintain. Inspired by this consumer research, Shira sought to reinvent the landscape of men’s grooming and offer a convenient, premium solution for the time-poor gentleman.

More about Sally & Maha
Sally Obermeder is a Television presenter, radio host, best-selling author, entrepreneur...it’s an exhaustive list, but it’s why Sally Obermeder has become one of Australia’s most loved and admired personalities.
Sally Obermeder is the co-host of Channel 7’s afternoon show The Daily Edition. Launched in June 2013, the show is an exciting combination of breaking news, live interviews and entertainment updates. The live panel show airs weekdays at 2pm.
Becoming part of the Channel 7 family in 2005, Sally was a presenter for Sydney Weekender, where she was the show’s food, fashion and shopping guru. In 2008 she joined the network’s evening current affairs show Today Tonight as their National Entertainment and Lifestyle Reporter. Sally interviewed some of the biggest names in music and movies, and counts Angelina Jolie, Beyoncé and Hugh Jackman as her favourites.
In 2013 Sally danced her way in to Australian hearts after appearing on Dancing with the Stars, and in 2014 she was the host of the network's holiday special 12 Ways to Christmas. Sally also appears regularly on Sunrise and The Morning Show.

The show is live Saturdays from 1-2pm and can be streamed on www.talkinglifestyle.com.au and is broadcast on 954AM in Sydney, 882AM in Brisbane, and 1278AM in Melbourne.
Personally, everything changed for Sally in 2011. Just days before she was due to give birth to her first child, Sally was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive stage 3 breast cancer. She spent the next 12 months undergoing intensive chemotherapy and radiation; and in 2012 she underwent a double mastectomy and reconstruction surgeries. Very happily, Sally is now 5+ years free of cancer, and she, husband Marcus, and daughter Annabelle Grace welcomed the newest member of their family - daughter Elyssa Rose, via surrogate in 2016.
A bestselling author, Sally’s book Never Stop Believing was released in April 2013, through Allen & Unwin. Sally shared her truly inspiring story of triumph over almost unbeatable odds in a wonderfully warm, funny and honest memoir about her struggle to succeed in the cut-throat world of commercial television and her courageous battle with cancer.
In Aril 2015, Sally (co-authored with her sister Maha Koraiem) released Super Green Smoothies (Allen & Unwin). Now in its 10th reprint, Super Green Smoothies remains Australia’s #1 bestselling smoothie book, and was the 3rd highest-selling non-fiction book of 2015.
Following the phenomenal sales success of Super Green Smoothies, Sally and Maha released The Good Life in April 2016. Packed with fabulous recipes and mouth-watering images, The Good Life has over 160 easy, delicious recipes for a healthy, lean lifestyle. Sally and Maha’s new book, a follow-up to Super Green Smoothies will be released in October 2017.
Adding to an already impressive list of accomplishments, this year Sally and Maha launched their Super Green Smoothies Frozen Packs. Available through supermarkets across the country, the packs are tasty, snap-frozen fruit, vegetables & herbs, which are chopped, calorie counted and ready to blend in just 60 seconds.
Sally and Maha’s website, SWIISH.com was launched in November 2012. Fuelled by a desire to share information and advice for a fabulous and affordable life, SWIISH stands for stylish women inspiring inner strength, health and happiness, - all things which the sisters are extremely passionate about. The website covers a range of lifestyle categories including fashion, beauty, health, home, family and travel. With such a strong following, SWIISH has unsurprisingly become the go-to guide for all things fabulous and affordable. SWIISH has developed a significant and loyal following of women across the country, who look to the site for advice and information across the lifestyle spectrum. The SWIISH online store was launched in April 2015, and features a mix of fashion, homewares, and Sally and Maha’s own products – their books, the SWIISH DELIISH Super Green Superfood Powder, and the Super Green Smoothies 30 Day Challenge.
As a spokesperson and ambassador, Sally has worked with Bio-Oil and Westfield, as their national Style Ambassador (2013). She is currently the ambassador for AVON (2015-2018), and is working closely with their Breast Cancer Crusade.
An incredibly passionate and charitable person, Sally is an ambassador for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and The Sony Foundation. She also works with the Breast Cancer Network of Australia and The Nelune Foundation.
In addition, Sally has launched a charitable initiative – wish by SWIISH – where together with her team at SWIISH they try to bring a little joy and happiness into the lives of breast and ovarian cancer sufferers, by turning their wishes into reality.
Sally Obermeder was the recipient of the prestigious Readers’ Choice Award at the InStyle and Audi Women of Style Awards, 2017.
More about Maha Koraiem
Maha Koraiem is an author, blogger and health coach. She is co-founder of lifestyle brand SWIISH and co-author of two health and wellbeing cookbooks – the bestselling Super Green Smoothies and The Good Life.
Known for her entrepreneurial spirit, Maha began her career in Investment Banking Human Resources where she held senior executive roles and worked alongside CEOs and MDs at the likes of global powerhouses J.P. Morgan and Bankers Trust, as well as ANZ Bank.
However, her desire to start her own business, coupled with her passion for all things fashion, health and lifestyle, saw Maha leave this career behind to launch SWIISH in October 2012 alongside her sister, Sally Obermeder.
SWIISH stands for Stylish Women Inspiring Inner Strength Health & Happiness, and is a vibrant, feel-good online destination. It inspires a luxe lifestyle for less, covering everything from fashion, beauty, family, homewares and health. SWIISH covers all the latest trends, classic styles, incredible finds and exciting new brands. Plus with an online store, SWIISH readers can pick up affordable and chic fashion, beauty and lifestyle buys.
Testament to Maha’s strong passion for health and fitness, and ethos of living a balanced, healthy, happy life, Super Green Smoothies is the number-one best-selling book released together with Sally in 2015. It has sold over 100,000 copies, has been reprinted 10 times, and translated across the globe into several languages.
Following on from the book was the addition of a 30 Day Super Green Smoothies Challenge and 30 Day Best Body Challenge, two all inclusive programs created to inspire a healthy, active, energised, lean lifestyle.
In March 2016, Maha and Sally released The Good Life, a full cookbook containing over 160 easy, delicious recipes for a healthy, lean lifestyle.
Having completed studies in Nutrition and Diet, plus gaining accreditation as a health coach, together with her role at SWIISH has meant that Maha’s advice on living a well balanced lifestyle, incorporating mind body and spirit is highly regarded.
Additionally, her mid-life career transition from the corporate world to successful entrepreneur where she combines both the creative and the commercial, has meant Maha is sought out as a regular panel speaker and mentor to many others who are in need of inspiration to walk this path. Maha is often featured across both print and digital publications sharing her tips for success and longevity in business.
Maha has also performed MC roles for a number of events including fashion launches, corporate functions and charity events, as well as conducted many celebrity interviews including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Khloe Kardashian.
Passionate about giving back, Maha supports several charities including the Cancer Council and Giant Steps (helping children & young adults with autism). In addition, Maha together with Sally and their SWIISH team run the charitable initiative WISH by SWIISH. They try to bring a little joy and happiness into the lives of those suffering illness by donating beauty, fashion, pampering, and travel experiences to hopefully add a little sparkle to those who need it most in an otherwise challenging time.
Maha also holds a Bachelor of Arts, graduating from Macquarie University’s Division of Psychology in 2006.

Who is Scott Wilson?
Scott is a qualified pharmacist and ran Pharmacies for years where he learnt the art of stock control, forecasting, HR, customer service, sales and many other core business skills. However, after being sacked 3 times in his short pharmacy career by 3 different companies for being that little bit too ambitious, he realised perhaps working for someone else was not a good idea and business ownership was really the path he needed to be on.
So for the last 2 years, Scott has been the director & the GM of Star Beverages Australia, a wine import and distribution company which oversees the brand development of some of the world's most respected and historic wineries throughout Australia, South East Asia & the South Pacific.
He has moved on from drugs to alcohol!
Since he started in the business, the team has grown from 1 person to 8 people, revenue has increased by around 40% every year, he has systemised the business and the portfolio has grown from 1 to 6 key brands, all imported from different parts of the world.

Clare Stephens is the owner/photographer of Your Life Through a Lens Photography and the creator of the Kids Through a Lens Online Photography Courses.
She documents your family's unique story using connection and emotion in photographs. She teaches mums how to capture the moments that matter with their digital camera (the daily milestones that a photographer is not there to capture) and she shows photographers how to grow their photography businesses through automation, marketing and mindset.
Clare's Mission: To Inspire 15000 Women To Live Extraordinary Lives Through Documenting Love.
Clare's Story...
After my first nephew was born, I found a passion for photographing children. I started my photography business initially just doing shoots on the weekends while working full time in finance. My business thrived and I was so busy - just 16 months later, I quit my finances job to work in my photography business full time.
In 2013 I funded a trip to Kenya through my photography business, to raise awareness and money for the Suluhisho Trust. When I returned held two sold out exhibitions, supported by Ronan Keating.
In 2014 I created three online programmes in 12 months, specialising in child / family photography and created an additional full time income from those programmes. It blew my mind that this was possible to do, given they didn't exist 12 months earlier!
In 2015, I was featured in Amy Porterfield's "How to Create a 5 Figure Webinar" and in 2016 I wrote my first book, "The Art of Pricing for Family Photographers".
Learning how to photograph children completely changed the course of my life.
Now I am on a mission to show mums and women around the world that they can do the same.

ABOUT ADRIAN D'AMICO
I help small to medium business owners with a clear online marketing direction along with motivation, inspiration and accountability.
With the success of many online strategies and personal branding utilising Social media sites like Facebook and YouTube in a real estate practice I owned for 10 years, a common question asked by other business owners was “How do you do that?” This was the catalyst to starting Social Media Breakthrough and later, the empower you academy and my Life Lessons TV YouTube show and podcast.
The difference I feel I have as a business coach is that not only have I learned key strategies that work in business, I’ve lived it. Having 10 years experience running a real estate practice, I carried with me all of my life lessons over to a consultancy & coaching business helping business owners and entrepreneurs utilize social media strategies to become recognised as an industry leader in their field so that they generate more income, reduce costs and create more free time but I didn’t stop there. Business & life has its challenges, challenges I’ve seen, been through, lived and overcome throughout my life and career, it was a natural progression to offer personal one on one and online coaching to inspire, encourage and ignite the passion in my clients to lead a quality, balanced life by their design.

Stacey Fisher is the founder and brand strategist at The Brand Architect and co-founder of Minnow Designs
Stacey is a Brand Strategist who is dedicated to helping growing businesses think bigger, increase efficiency and stretch their dollar further.
A classically trained strategic marketer Stacey has a decade and a half of experience working across big, market leading consumer brands including Panadol, Campbell’s Soup, Nicabate, Helgas, Wonder White, HarperCollins publishers and finally, Bourke Street Bakery. It was there, whilst working directly alongside the irrepressible owners of one of Australia’s most iconic foodie destinations, that a passion for building start-ups was born. It has lead Stacey to pivot her model and changed up her own ‘why’. Her personal mission is to reduce the start-up failure rate through the democratisation of quality, big-picture, strategic marketing.
Early on, Stacey turned a lifelong love of words into a Media & Cultural Studies degree and after a short stint attempting to get the gist of agistment at the Rural Press accidentally won a scholarship to study Commerce in France. She learned almost no polite French but despite the vanishingly low price of red wine at the local Carrefour she finished top of her class.
Stacey now spend her days building the big brands of tomorrow, including her own growing businesses The Brand Architect & Minnow Designs. An e-commerce enthusiast Stacey sold her flourishing starter startup The Adorn Collective in 2016.
A contented resident of Balmain in Sydney’s Inner West, she’s a coffee tragic who still gets a kick out of riding the ferry under the bridge.
A passion for words, a love of photography and an affinity for the digital space makes Stacey an excellent Facebook friend.

We believe that consistent profit growth comes from having mutually beneficial, mutually enjoyable conversations with your ideal customer in ways that suit you and the way you like to work.

We work flexibly across time zones and will always buy you a beer when you’re in Sydney.

My other passion was creating a business that would be an innovative and inspiring place to spend the day and work; somewhere where people could come to be themselves, use their skills, learn and work on projects they are truly passionate about.

For Zahrina Robertson taking photos is deeply personal. From the moment she picked up a camera as a child, exploring the beauty and simplicity of the world around her, she was hooked. Born into a home where cameras had pride of place, Zahrina took up photography as not only a way to make a living but as her way of making a difference in people’s lives. Inspired by her father, who was an amateur photographer, she was in awe of his ability to take every day things and transform them. Fast-forward to now, and her passion for photography and connecting with others is what sets her apart. For Zahrina, photography is not a job; it is an extension of her psyche and her heart. It gives back and feeds her soul by allowing her to tap into her creativity. Her gift behind the lens, coupled with her passion for personal branding, sees her create photos that have people saying ‘WOW’.
There is no ‘point and shoot’ in Zahrina’s studio. She doesn’t just do headshots; she is a maverick magician who makes people’s personal branding irresistible. The journey to creating an entrepreneur’s personal brand starts even before Zahrina picks up a camera. Her genius is in discovering people - helping them to really think about their brand, their business messages, how they can do things differently – and ultimately capturing their x-factor. Zahrina’s gift personifies the saying ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’. She understands that an image defines a person’s brand and believes that those first few seconds are vital, especially for 21st-century entrepreneurs. The image has to tell a story, to capture the heart and soul, and to engage the viewer so they see the ‘real’ person they are about to do business with.
As a keynote speaker, Zahrina’s authenticity is one of her greatest assets. She has the ability to take people with her every step of the way as she demystifies the complex world of branding – ensuring that they truly understand how to do it better, and the value of getting it right. Honest, funny and quirky, Zahrina leaves her audiences secure in the knowledge that she knows her stuff and that she has imparted valuable information to help them create razor sharp branding. Her wisdom and insights on how to use imagery to connect with clients see her regularly approached by the media and businesses who want to stand out and be noticed.
Zahrina has photographed international entrepreneurs including Ita Buttrose, Tim Ferris, Taki Moore, Matt Church and Dale Beaumont. She has also covered events featuring Richard Branson, Martha Stewart, George Clooney and stars of the music industry such as Dannii Minogue. Street smart, savvy and classy, Zahrina is a multi-award winning photographer and a Telstra Business Woman of the Year nominee. After a whirlwind five years she has expanded her business beyond Sydney into Brisbane and Melbourne, with plans for world domination.
A philanthropist and passionate campaigner, Zahrina loves to give back to the community. After winning the Commonwealth Bank Women in Focus essay competition, she travelled to the Northern Territory to volunteer for nine days in a remote aboriginal community with the Moriarty Foundation. Her journey ignited her desire to make a difference to the literacy levels within the Australian Indigenous community. The trip spawned a series of presentations and a children’s photographic book entitled ‘Zahrina and Tina’s Outback Adventure Book’, in which she shares her experience using both story and images.
In November 2014 Zahrina travelled to New York where she photographed celebrity Aviva Drescher from the Real Housewives of New York City, as well as other dynamic international entrepreneurs. While Stateside, Zahrina conducted workshops at the Australian Consulate and addressed New York networking communities on personal branding. This trip saw her expand her business internationally to include personal branding shoots in New York as well as her pre-existing photography studios in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. 2015 saw Zahrina win numerous international business awards, and 2016 Zahrina launched her new book - MAGNETIC BRANDING! - The Complete Guide for a Brand that Attracts! - available now online and in Dymocks stores.

Style coach, personal power advocate, family girl and your right hand; dedicated to helping you make the impact you were born to make!
A message from Alma...
Born and raised in Spain, I went from working in a big corporation as a financial auditor in Barcelona to being a public speaker as an image expert in Canada.
Helping people to find their true essence and give them the tools to learn how to style themselves, has always been my passion.
Now, afters years of experience in the industry, being a mom and living in Australia, I help beautiful and powerful women all my techniques to wake up in the morning and put together looks that will make the impact they deserve. Just because you're a woman and a mom, and a wife, it doesn't mean you're not able to have a confident, bright and powerful presence.
If you're proud of who you're, you'll set the perfect example to your children and your clients, agree? Happy mom, happy family!
My mission: Inspiring you - Fabulous, Smart, and Powerful friend - to proudly show to the world how awesome you are.
My goal: Providing you with the tools to open the door to dressing with confidence and projecting the best version of yourself.
I've worked with top executives, teachers, lawyers, personal trainers, students, and lots of entrepreneurs in the past.
They all had one common goal when they contacted me: feeling confident dressing and grooming in their everyday personal and professional life.
In Alma's world, having a put-together and current image is not on the outside, but on all the positive emotions that come from it. It's all about embracing who we are, loving it and highlighting our favorite bits and pieces!
I've been described by many as professional, positive and energetic; the fact that I am Spanish has a lot to say about my enthusiastic personality!
Those who have attended my events say I deliver empowering, interacting and fun programs.
I thrive by connecting with people and seeing them evolve and bringing out the best in themselves.

Dream & Do - Creative agency for start-ups, business visionaries and dreamers everywhere...
Ideas : Graphic Design : Brand Storytelling : Artwork : Creative Content
FREE Book for the first 11 Lucky Ladies Lounge Listeners!!! - Get Your Hands on Dream & Do's free book http://www.dreamanddo.com.au/freebook
Our purpose is to ‘help people create their own destiny by giving them the courage to DO what they always dreamed of.’ We offer start-ups and small businesses great design, branding and creative thinking to paint their vision and connect with their customers. We love business and believe in the power of creativity to transform businesses into brands. We believe that creativity is the edge in a knowledge economy and dreaming is the first step to creating a new reality.
Today, Dream & Do is a start-up creative agency, buttomorrow, it will be so much more. Dream & Do will be the world class brand for following your dreams and it’s ‘Dream Team’ will be pioneers of creativity.
Dream & Do has a small team of highly creative, caring individuals that have an alternative view on the world. We don’t have enemies but if we had to pick, it would be trends and monotony. We are thinkers and explorers and are constantly pushing ourselves to the edge of our creativity, expanding it with every project. We are not driven by ‘making things look pretty’ or winning design awards, but turning incredible ideas into reality for good people that deserve success.
Tara Shelton
Founder & Creative Director, Dream & Do
(BIO From 'B&T 30 under 30' award)
It was 2012 and Tara wanted to create gifts for girls, made by girls, minus the cheese factor of inspirational messages. She founded her first company, a beautiful hanky brand called Moi Self. Her hankies were featured in InStyle, Vogue and Hello May, and hanky stocks in New York and Hong Know, Tara’s design and creativity was highly recognised with an incredible win of Young Designer of the Year.
But one company wasn’t enough for Tara. Just under two years ago, she founded her second business, a design and branding agency called Dream & Do in Sydney. It’s clear Tara has creativity bursting out her every pore. And creativity is what she says every business needs. Ideally, Dream & Do will move beyond an agency and into a creative space with a café and bookshop attached.
One downside in the design industry though, she says, is the lack of originality. “A lot of designers out there simply provide aesthetic answers that are on-trend to briefs rather than strong thinking, design and creativity. There’s a lot of talking design lingo and pulling the wool over clients’ eyes, which is an inauthentic way to do business. We try to break down those barriers.”
With a new little bub gracing her apartment the notion of finding balance between work life and home life is becoming much more apparent to Tara. And when asked to describe her attributes in no more than five words, she said: “Passionate, creative, dedicated, positive, authentic.”

After 10 years of working in the corporate world, she stopped work to have a family. Leanne now has 2 beautiful boys, Master V and cheeky Master O, which is what led her to the idea for the Cozy Dozee.
After constantly feeling frustrated, watching Master V’s head fall forward in the car, Leanne wanted to improve his quality of sleep, relieve his sore neck and stop having to constantly turn around to adjust him. Leanne wanted him to wake up feeling refreshed and happy.
She says "I recall the same thing myself in cars, trains or plane trips when I would wake feeling sore and just as tired. It felt like the nap “wasn’t even worth it”, as it was such poor quality and so….the Cozy Dozee journey began."
After almost 2 years of research and development, working with the absolute leaders of the industry and consulting with numerous health care professionals we finally launched this product into the Australia market in November 2013 and Leanne is thrilled that we can now help so many families who had the same problems as our family did.

With a lifetime of experience as diverse as her ability to create magnificence in each transformation, Jane Brown is truly an artist.
Jane learned the art of styling from a young age, growing up in a large family where her parents travelled the world for business, importing antique furniture and silver. With new and unusual pieces from the eclectic to the classic arriving frequently, Jane’s flair for integrating pieces to harmonise several personalities into one environment began to shine. Her father’s own words sum it up perfectly “Just give Jane a little bit of time and she’ll make it beautiful”.
Later, Jane’s career as an international first class flight attendant enabled her to explore a myriad of cultures, styles and philosophies on life. Through her travels, Jane came to appreciate the importance of a beautiful environment - from castles in Vienna to mud huts in Africa - and the different ways people lived.
Today, Jane’s life experience has become her passion, as she brings her natural gifts and talent to the homes and offices of her many clients to create amazing transformations in their homes and in their lives.

TARYN WILLIAMS
Founder/CEO of WINK Models and TheRight.Fit
Instagram @TarynWilliams
Recognitions:
o 2016 Finalist B&T Women in Media Entrepreneur
o 2016 SmartCompany 20 Aussie entrepreneurs on
instagram
o 2105 Finalist Women Entrepreneur awards
o B&T Hot 30 under 30
o SmartCompany 30 under 30
o Anthill top 100 coolest companies
It seems fitting for Taryn Williams that she would
learn to fly a plane at the young age of fifteen, the
exact same age she stepped out into the world and
began her modelling career. Naturally, she’s been
soaring ever since and is truly a breath of fresh air as
one of Australia’s leading young entrepreneurs.
She has received numerous accolades including
being named a Finalist in the 2016 B&T Women in
Media awards, 2015 Female Entrepreneur Awards,
B&T Hot 30 under 30 and SmartCompany 30 under
30. She is regularly sought out for comment in leading
business publications Business Insider Australia,
SmartCompany and Startup Smart.
Entrepreneurs are essentially problem solvers,
and Taryn is nothing short of this definition. She
started WINK Models in 2007 because she wanted to
improve the existing landscape with an agency that
provided clients with a higher quality service while
providing a fair and supportive environment for talent.
One thing that stood out to me was the
inefficiencies of the existing agencies. Models weren’t
getting paid for six months after a job, there was no
support or union and I saw hundreds of young people
unsure of the trajectory of their careers. This created a
negative relationship between agencies and models.
The industry needed change and I was determined to
make it happen.
In 2016 WINK has flourished into a national
business with over 650 talent and turnover in the
millions. In 2015 Anthill named the company in its
Top 100 coolest Australian companies.
In true disruptive style, Taryn is again innovating
the industry with her new tech startup,
TheRight.Fit, a market network transforming the
fashion, modelling and creative industries.
When it comes to speaking engagements, Taryn will
happily discuss her journey from international model
to successful entrepreneur, being your own boss,
women in tech, disrupting your own industry,
innovation and her tips for getting a great idea off the
ground.
Taryn is available for all types of business and
lifestyle media, PR opportunities, event judging,
fashion collaborations, speaking and expert opinion.

Launched in late 2015, TheRight.Fit has created an
efficient way for brands and clients to directly connect
with talent on projects, removing hidden commissions
and bias.
TheRight.Fit is a community of models, actors,
photographers, stylists, videographers, influencers
and makeup artists, all in the one place, which means
clients can search, book and pay all in one seamless,
online transaction. Clients include; advertising
agencies, creative directors, marketing managers,
casting agents, fashion editorial and more.

HOT-SEAT NOTES by Joris Cuesta
The Customer Journey
Most customer journeys fall into one of two categories, however, walk your customers through the seven phases of their journey and see the magic unfold!
-
The first phase is assessing. The customer simply assesses if he wants to do business with you.
-
Next is admitting: The customer makes a purchase. He admits to himself and to you, by signing a contract or buying your product, that he believes that your service or product is of need.
-
It is commonly known as “buyer’s remorse,” the “anxious phase.” While you celebrate the customer, he/she is second-guessing their decision.
-
The next phase is activating; the energetic motion where the business begins officially delivering on the promises - You want people to feel energized. This is the time to bring a lot of force, energy, and drive to the relationship.
-
Acclimating phase; the customer is getting used to doing business with you. Regardless of your team having completed onboarding, software implementation... hundreds of times, it will be a first for your customer. This is a vital part of relationship-building because the customer is figuring out if he/she wants to have a long-term relationship with you.
-
Adopting phase. The customer is now taking ownership of the relationship. For example, Apple fan... has a relationship with them, in which he has adopted them fully. You get on various sites to see what’s coming next and watches keynotes about soon-to-be-released products. You've taken ownership of the marketing and the sales.
However: All businesses seek the 7th stage: Advocating. This is when customers become raving fans. They have to tell everyone they know what a great experience they’ve had with you, and what a great product or service you have. They also try to drive as many new people to sign up to be a part of your business as soon as possible. What’s fascinating... most companies fail at the acclimating stage. They never properly acclimate their customers, which means the customer never adopts the relationship and never becomes an advocate.
The process of how to ask for feedback breaks down into an acronym.
You should be focusing on the first 100 days.
The acronym is FIRST.
1. Find out what’s important to your customers
2. Investigate a little deeper
3. Respond in a way that shows you care
4. Surprise them to keep the relationship interesting and exciting

Anna Hopkins and The Protein Bread Company
In 1989, as an eight year old country kid Anna dreamt of opening a healthy fast food café, hand drawing a concept, menu and even logo. She
quickly got distracted building castles out of mud, but grew up, moved to the city and went on to forge a successful career with McDonald's, developing her strong work ethic and love of business. Anna was reminded of her childhood dream one particularly busy, stressful day. Starving and craving a fast, healthy lunch, but only finding stodgy sandwiches, rolls or wraps, Anna brazenly decided it was time to turn her childhood dream into reality. She opened Whole Meal Café in November 2010. After ten years at Maccas, building a high performance culture within her region and achieving strong sales results, Anna naively expected the café to be profitable from day one, not contemplating how different it would be without the magical Golden Arches drawing people in. Experienced in interpreting and actioning P&L’s, but not so much creating them from a shoebox of receipts, the first year was a huge eye opening, life changing experience. More time was spent in tears rather than sipping lattes. With zero financial backing, a depleted savings account and unexpected set up costs, Anna relied on her creativity, resourcefulness and tenacity to successfully build the business from scratch with minimal resources.
Part of the plan was to constantly exceed customer expectations, giving them exactly what they wanted plus more. When Anna noticed many customers avoiding bread, due to low carb or gluten free diets - she set to work in the kitchen creating a bread they could eat without feeling guilty or bloated. From this tiny cafe kitchen in Darlinghurst, Protein Bread - Australia’s Lowest Carb Bread - was born. First added to the menu, then sold by the loaf for customers to take home. When people started traveling from all over Sydney, to buy her bread, Anna realised the potential of what she’d created and successfully sold the café to focus on this new venture.
The Protein Bread Company was founded in 2014 selling just the original Protein Bread. Today, the range includes Bread, Pancake, Muffin and Pizza Base Mixes, which are sold nationally through leading retailers and direct to consumer online. The company also has it’s own bakery that produces fresh bread loaves for customers in Sydney & Melbourne.
Anna is an expert on self awareness and takes a refreshingly simple approach to personal development. She believes that we all have the ability to achieve anything we desire, yet the stories we tell ourselves often stop this from happening.
Over the past 15 years, she has created some simple techniques to help re-write these negative stories and create an inspiring, exciting life. As a speaker, Anna’s tenacity, honesty and direct approach combined with her belief that everyone deserves to feel their best, inspires people into action. She shares her tangible tools, leaving the audience not only motivated but well equipped to walk away and implement some profound changes, both personally and professionally.
