Wanna stay in the know and learn epic life skills in a super chill way? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Join Happow Co-Founder Gianna Lucas each week as she chats with awesome humans about their success stories and biggest setbacks to date. Hold up! There’s more. Our Happow squad also share their thoughts on a whole bunch of topics. Plus, we take on hilarious challenges. And yes! You too can get involved in the podcast. So what are you waiting for? Get ready to #PowerUpLife!
Welcome to our final episode of Power Up Life Season 1… Don’t worry, we’ll be back in 2021! So get excited. Now, with the new year literally around the corner, we reckon this chat will help get you in the best mindset to kick-start 2021!
But before we introduce you to this week’s guest, we’d love to ask you a question…
Have you ever had a dream and hoped it would come true one day, but for whatever reason, it never actually became a reality? …Let’s be honest, facing this truth can be a super real challenge.
This week’s guest knows EXACTLY how this feels. His name is Adam Jelic. In high school, he saw himself becoming an internationally renowned soccer player. He loved soccer and was really good at it. But for a variety of reasons this dream never happened for him.
Despite this setback, he never stopped believing in himself. So one day, he eventually had the courage to step out of his comfort zone and try something new. And that ‘something’ is now an international stationery brand for ‘Goal Diggers’. Adam is the proud, yet incredibly humble Founder and Director behind Mi Goals, a Melbourne-based brand that’s helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world track and achieve their goals. How incredible is that!
Here’s just one of the many quotable moments in today’s ep: “Hope is not a strategy.” How true is that?! Having hope and faith is super important when working towards your goals, but Adam understands that your goals still need to be backed up by a solid plan with actionable and attainable steps.
As you can probably guess, Adam and Gianna chatted about a LOT of things including: What high school was like for him Why he wanted to become an athlete How he started Mi Goals Advice for young entrepreneurs How to set goals And loads more!
So let’s Power Up Life!

We know 2020 can seem like one big blur, but do you remember that before COVID-19, Australia was experiencing an unprecedented bushfire season this time, last year?! It ran for so many months and the devastation was so destructive that it’s widely known as Black Summer.
Over 18 million hectares burned, destroying over 5,900 buildings, including over 2,800 homes. In addition to human fatalities, many millions of wildlife sadly perished, including over 5,000 koalas within NSW alone – a third of that state’s koala population.
The Australian economy also suffered tremendously costing the nation billions of dollars in losses, not to mention the regions that fell victim to the bushfires – they were hardest hit.
Now here’s the good news. We all have the ability to create a positive change and play our part to restore our economy and help rebuild these beautiful towns and the livelihoods of those affected by the bushfires. And leading the way is one amazing human, Erin Boutros, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Empty Esky.
In case you didn’t know, Empty Esky is a national tourism movement of foodies and adventurers on a mission to support small businesses affected by the Australian fires. They’re on a mission to encourage everyone to grab an Empty Esky, embark on a road trip to a fire-affected town (when it’s safe to do so) and to stock up with produce and product purchased from local traders.
The story behind Empty Esky’s launch and massive growth is SO inspiring. They get to work with some of the world’s most recognisable brands to help spread their mission and vision.
It’s an awesome not-for-profit and run by a small team of volunteers and so we’re super excited that Erin (who also happens to be a Happow ambassador) is joining Gianna for our 2nd last episode of season 1!
In this ep, Erin and Gianna chat about: How Empty Esky became a viral movement on Insta How she got the word out and created her website The day she was invited to Canberra to meet Prime Minister, Scott Morrison (ScoMo) How she became a social entrepreneur What’s next and loads more.

Have you ever been on a private jet? We sure haven’t, but this week’s guest of Power Up Life has and she says it’s amazing.
She had what some may call ‘the dream job’ – traveling the world, meeting celebs, and influencers, as a Social Media Manager for one of the world’s most iconic self-tanning brands, Bondi Sands.
Molly Jane has one huge story to tell. On paper, she’s lived a pretty glamorous life. But she’s been through A LOT and all of it has made her one resilient #bossbabe on a mission to help other women live a life that’s true to them.
One of Molly’s biggest achievements was in April 2019 when she launched Bloom, a Meditation and Sleep app alongside one of her besties Chloe Szep. Their app is helping thousands of women of all ages to be more mindful…but this is just one chapter in Molly’s story.
So in this ep, Molly and Gianna chat about her journey with mental health, which started back in high school, to her high-flying job at Bondi Sands, her self-help journey, how she launched her own app, her honest advice for youth and LOADS more.
So Let’s Power Up Life!

Have you ever thought of starting your own podcast? If so, do you know what you’d like it to be about?
Michelle Akhidenor, 20-something marketer and entrepreneur knows a thing or two about podcasting. After graduating high school in 2012, she has accomplished A LOT.
Most notably she’s the Founder and CEO at The Peers Project, a podcast production agency for progressive brands. She and her team have created podcasts for the likes of Forever New, Modibodi and even Little Dreamers, who we also collaborated with to create a Happow Life Lesson called Start A Business With Impact.
So how did she even go about starting a media company like this?
It all started when she made her first global podcast called Peers2Peers, where she continues to chat with loads of millennial entrepreneurs achieving BIG goals around the world, including Tedx speakers and those featured in Forbes 30 Under 30.
Michelle has studied abroad, knows 3 languages and has even been called a Millennial Careers Coach.
Gianna and Michelle chatted about a lot of things in this episode including her life at uni, how she became an entrepreneur, life as a podcaster, tips when starting a business and loads more.

What if we told you you’re never too young to achieve your dreams. Now you’re probably thinking, as if! Well we have proof for you. Meet multi-award winning social entrepreneur Wil Massara from Perth, WA. He, like us, at Happow believes you’re never too young to change the world.
In 2018, whilst in high school, Wil launched Youth Leadership Academy Australia (YLAA) with the mission to empower youth through events and more. Wil’s first leadership conference was held in February 2018, which led him to speak at a youth conference in Hawaii. Wil’s entrepreneurial journey started at the age of 13. There’s quite a lot of layers to Wil’s story and a few surprises too.
Wil has now taken Youth Leadership Academy Australia nationwide hosting and facilitating events, school programs and community engagement initiatives positively impacting over 5000 students, from 125 schools, in 5 states, which is expected to rise to beyond 100,000 by 2022.
This again proves that age is NO factor when setting and kicking goals. Got a dream you’d like to achieve, in the words of Nike, ‘Just Do It.’
In this episode, Wil and Gianna chat about: how he started YLAA with just $80; how he got through high school whilst managing a business; launching his first business called planeapedia; what it’s actually like to partner up with the likes of Qantas; the value in having a solid personal brand; and much more.
Also, a bit of a warning, as part of this week’s challenge Gianna and Wil eat some pretty gross food, so enjoy listening to that!

Our epic guest this week, Madeleine Buchner has been on a mission to positively change the lives of young carers across Australia and around the world as the Founder and CEO of Little Dreamers, a not-for-profit based in Melbourne, Australia.
Maddy has achieved and experienced A LOT in her young life. Though she’s had her fair share of ups and downs, what we love about Maddy is her positive, go-getter attitude.
Like so many of us, Maddy experiences anxiety and imposter syndrome, however, this has never stopped her from achieving her dreams. She still shows up and faces challenges head-on. And because of her unwavering passion and persistence, she was a part of the Queen’s Young Leader program in 2017 and in 2019 was the youngest person to receive an Order of Australia Medal within the Australian honours list that year.
In this interview with Gianna, Maddy was honest and upfront about her triumphs and her trials over the years and explains how and why she’s able to push through.
Gianna and Maddy chat about that time she met Prince Harry, Queen Elizabeth II and Liam Payne all in one day! They also chat about her goals for Little Dreamers and loads more.
We’re super excited to say that Maddy is one of our Happow Instructors! In her Life Lesson, she teaches you how to ‘Start a Business with Impact’. It’s practical and features heaps of strategies and takeaways. The BEST news is, her video masterclass is 100% FREE, just like all our other Life Lessons! All you need to do is sign-up via our website – happow.com.
Now that’s out of the way, let’s Power Up Life!

Mindfulness…it’s a strong contender for ‘Word of the Year’ in 2020! One of the things this global pandemic has done is force our entire society to slow down and be more mindful. It opened our eyes to see and value what’s really important in life – things like our mates, our fam, and most importantly our own mental and physical health.
Mental Health Month is coming to end here in Australia and to be honest, it couldn’t have come at a better time with everything we’re all experiencing at the moment.
So we’re really excited to introduce you to this week’s guest on Power Up Life… Matt Runnalls – Speaker, Mentor, Facilitator, Advocate and CEO & also Founder of Mindfull Aus. And oh yeah! …He’s a Happow Ambassador as well.
Matt has an incredible story. He has been through the trenches. There’s a reason why he’s so passionate about mental health. There’s a reason he’s shared his story on so many stages, not just here in Australia but around the world.
So in this episode, Matt opens up about his transformational journey, what life was like for him as a tradie, entrepreneurship, his super-relatable top tips when feeling overwhelmed and so much more. He even drops a super awesome bombshell as well, so stay tuned for that!
Also a quick content warning on this episode, as we discuss mental health. Listener discretion is advised. If you do need someone to talk to or you’re in danger to yourself or others, you can always ring the wonderful people at Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800.

AFL Finals fever is upon us! Now whether you’re a footy fan or not, it’s a time where loads of Aussies come together and celebrate sport and community across the country! And if you’re in Victoria, you even get a public holiday every year, right before the Grand Final!
This year’s footy season, like everything else, hasn’t quite gone to plan. The season had a few stop-start moments, which in the end led to the creation of an AFL hub up in sunny Queensland.
Just before the BIG move to Queensland took place, Gianna had the opportunity of chatting with an AFL player who’s on a mission to create a better world when it comes to men’s mental health. This guy is an absolute legend and SO authentic.
So on that, we’re so excited to introduce you to this week’s guest on Power Up Life, AFL Player, and number 19 for the Melbourne Football Club, Mitch Hannan. As well as being an AFL player, Mitch is also the Co-Founder of Mendl, a lifestyle brand with all profits from their apparel going to men’s mental health charities.
On top of this week’s awesome challenge, Mitch and Gianna talk about: His childhood – growing up on an acreage with his family, his love for gymnastics, and footy. His world during high school and uni before his professional footy career began! Why he co-founded his social enterprise Mendl and his BIG goals for it. His mission to break down stigmas in the AFL world, especially being a heavily dominated male industry. The pressures that come with being a professional athlete and a public figure. The effects of social media on mental health and his advice. Mitch also opens up about his battle with anxiety and how it’s made him who he is today.
Also, a quick content warning on this episode, as we cover a range of mental health issues. Listener discretion is advised. If you do need someone to talk to, you can always ring the wonderful people at Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800.

Isn’t it your lucky day? Because this week we’re dropping not one, but TWO episodes with Speaker, Author, Aboriginal Rights Advocate and Happow Ambassador, Marlee Silva!
When it comes to Aboriginal culture and history, Marlee is like a well-resourced library. She’s incredibly knowledgeable. So we decided to take full advantage of this and ask Marlee a stack of questions, because to be totally honest, there was a lot we didn’t know about Indigenous culture and history. So we wanted to educate ourselves and others who too would love to learn more!
Marlee was so gracious and respectful of Gianna’s questions, and her answers and perspective were eye-opening and insightful. Gianna and Marlee spoke openly about some BIG issues that still exist today.
Fun fact. Did you know Aboriginal history spans 80,000 years! This is just one of the many facts Marlee and Gianna spoke about. Here’s some other stuff they covered too: Aboriginal Countries in Australia and Torres Strait Islands Skin names in central Australia Dreamtime The meaning of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags Why Uluru means so much to Aboriginal people The significance of the Southern Cross The 2005 Cronulla riots The link between racism and fear How far we've come as a society and our hopes for the future
Hope you get a lot out of this chat just like we did.
…So, for the second time this week, let’s once again Power Up Life!

We’re thrilled to introduce you to this week’s guest on Power Up Life. She’s one extraordinarily talented boss babe, advocate and much more.
Her name is Marlee Silva – a Gamilaroi and Dunghutti woman who is Co-Founder of Tiddas4Tiddas, a social media initiative, which is dedicated to celebrating Indigenous women and girls through storytelling.
Marlee is a breath of fresh air. She’s so funny and so wise – an exceptional human who also happens to be a speaker, author and host of the super-successful ‘Always Was, Always Will Be Our Stories’ Podcast. She also happens to be a Happow ambassador as well!
Marlee is a true inspiration. Despite lacking confidence in high school, she decided to push through in order to pursue her dreams despite her fears, and look at her now! It just goes to show who you think you are in high school in no way determines your future. And that’s something to get excited about.
By the way, if you’re keen to know the challenge Gianna and Marlee went to head-to-head with, they played Heads Up! No pun intended.

It’s been one tough year, from bushfires to Coronavirus and everything in between, it’s totally natural to feel overwhelmed.
Somebody who knows this feeling first-hand is Dr. Jodi Richardson. She’s not only a best-selling author and speaker, she’s also an anxiety expert, because she too experiences it, even as an adult.
Because 2020 has been an extra difficult one, we thought to invite Jodi onto the show because she’s such an awesome human with a stack of knowledge.
In this episode, Gianna and Jodi go deep, with no question off the table. And because of that… Jodi opens up about her own struggle with an anxiety disorder She tells us how we can recognise the signs of stress and anxiety in our own lives And explains the difference between anxiety and an anxiety disorder Plus, she shares a whole lot of tips to help us manage stress and anxiety and so much more. And of course, like every episode Jodi reveals what she’s grateful for and then to finish off we go head-to-head in a challenge called Pick Your Pillar.
So let’s #PowerUpLife!
If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed and needing immediate support, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 and in an emergency, always dial triple 000.

We’re so excited to introduce you to our first guest on Power Up Life. This guy is one of the most talented, selfless and passionate people we’ve got to know.
Meet Jules Lund, one of Australia’s most well-known faces in the media industry.
Jules was born in 1979, however you’d think he was born in 1999 because he’s young at heart. After finishing high school, Jules studied Graphic Design, Photography and Film before winning FOX FM’s '15 Days of Fame' competition back in 2001, which launched his media career.
Jules has hosted some of Australia’s biggest TV and radio shows, working alongside Fifi Box, Sophie Monk and many other household names. For not 1 but 8 years Jules was a presenter on Getaway, Australia's longest-running travel and lifestyle TV show!
These days Jules is the Founder of global influencer marketing platform called Tribe. Since its launch back in 2015, Tribe has seen huge growth with offices in New York, London, Sydney and Melbourne. They also get to work with many of the world’s biggest brands.
But here’s the thing. Jules was a troubled kid in high school. He went through some stuff, and he admits he’s still learning life lessons today.
Jules and Gianna chatted about everything and anything. And one thing’s for sure, he has one inspiring story to tell.
