    Angela Priestley - Founder of Women's Agenda
    Jan 19 2023
    Angela Priestly is a journalist through and through! She has always loved current affairs, politics, and writing and in her early years, she was a freelance journalist writing for a number of custom and niche publications across a variety of topics. After a stint writing for Private Media where she launched an investigative journalism title, The Power Index for Crikey.com, she identified a huge gap in the market. Quality journalism for women in business. And so The Women's Agenda was created. This publication is at the top of the tree when it comes to politics, business, leadership, and more.  When it first came out, in 2011, it was a breath of fresh air for the Australian media landscape and it still is! These days The Women's Agenda runs events, maintains an annual Leadership awards program, and lots more. In 2018 Angela co-founded Agenda Media which recently launched Women's Health News and other new titles covering women's sport, STEM, climate leadership, and more. If there was only one publication you should follow in Australia as a woman in business, this would be it! Angela is amazing and you are bound to be inspired by her story and her purpose.

  • Martina Geromin - Founder of School Beyond Limitations

    Martina Geromin - Founder of School Beyond Limitations
    Jan 12 2023
    Martina is turning education as we know it on its head. Thank goodness for women like her! As a school teacher and principal for many years, Martina knew that something needed to change and so she created The School Beyond Limitations, an online school for students from all over the world. The School Beyond Limitations has students of all different ages that share the same virtual classroom (just like real life where we have to interact with people of all ages and abilities) and follow the subjects and topics that interest them.  Christina takes a holistic view when it comes to education, so the students can work on one subject and then look at the related areas such as geography, maths, history and biology to make the content relevant and stimulating for all ages. the lessons go for 3 hours, the students are offered the opportunity to conduct classes themselves if they would like and it completely changes their lives! The students also get the incredibly exciting opportunity to meet three times a year, in real life, in different geographic locations (how cool is that!) where they can socialise and learn together about the country or city they are in. This woman is a complete game changer when it comes to education. This episode is sponsored by Brand for Brands. Brand For Brands is a branding agency run by two sisters, located in Sydney.

  • Casey Burgess - Hi 5 Member, Singer & Entertainer

    Casey Burgess - Hi 5 Member, Singer & Entertainer
    Jan 5 2023
    Casey Burgess, who recently released her first solo album, is an amazing actress, musician, and television presenter with over a decade of experience in the entertainment industry. Having grown up in a musical family, Casey's first role was in Annie while she was still at school, and on the back of that, she was mercilessly bullied by her schoolmates. As a result of her breakout stage role in the musical, she was offered a role as the presenter of Girl TV on Channel 7.  What a great way to show her bullies that she wasn't going to let them get her down! Following on from Girl TV, Casey auditioned for the children's group Hi-5 and was chosen to replace Charli. She stayed with Hi-5 for 4 years, traveling the world but also working incredibly hard. Finding it hard to be taken seriously after her stint in a children's group, Casey eventually got acting roles then the Pandemic hit, and the time at home made her want to realise her dream of a solo album. That album is now out, fully funded by Casey and is called Space to Breathe. This episode is sponsored by Brand for Brands.

  • Sue Fennessy - Founder of WeAre8

    Sue Fennessy - Founder of WeAre8
    Dec 29 2022
    Sue Fennessy has been an entrepreneur since she left school, and is one of the most successful, and nicest female founders out there! Sue's story started with a fax machine in her bedroom when she started her first business, MM Communications, a marketing and PR agency in Melbourne. This was followed by a move to Shanghai where she started the Chinese arm of Frontier Entertainment and brought international acts. such as Andrew Lloyd Webber productions to China for the first time. Then she came back to Australia and started the Standard media Index (SMI) to bring transparency to where brands were spending their marketing dollars. As SMI grew, Sue moved to New York to expand the business into the USA.  This was followed by a lightbulb moment where Sue realised that the $550 billion dollars that social media platforms like Facebook were earning from advertising, and the data that was being mined, should be handed back to the people. So she created WeAre8, bringing brands and people together to change the world. Sue still lives in New York and has spent the last 10 years building WeAre8. She explains how, at one stage she realised the model was wrong and had to pare back to a tiny team, reassess the situation and rebuild. It's now taking off around the world. Sue is an absolute hero of Jules' (they have known each other for years) and this interview will definitely inspire anyone who has plans for global disruption!

    Noga Edelstein - Director of SBE Australia, Investor
    Dec 22 2022
    Noga Edelstein is my latest guest on the She’s The Boss show. What a woman!  She started her career as a lawyer and talks about why she left the law to set up UrbanYou, a cleaning and housekeeping marketplace.  She raised capital a couple of times before negotiating a successful exit from a multinational company.  Their strategy of the acquisition was fascinating and it worked!  Noga is now looking at becoming an investor herself, and is involved with a number of initiatives, including being on the board of Springboard Enterprises (SBE Australia).

  • Sheree Rubinstein - Founder of One Roof

    Sheree Rubinstein - Founder of One Roof
    Dec 15 2022
    Sheree Rubinstein is such an inspiration! She created One Roof as a co-working space for female entrepreneurs and it has everything a business woman would want, from childcare to courses to social events and business support.  Starting out as a lawyer, it didn't take Sheree long to realise it really wasn't for her. She wanted to build something herself. The concept of One Roof took off fast and Sheree was lucky to be given access to a space in Southbank, Melbourne that was ideal. She invested time and resources to make it perfect, including an event space. After 4 years, she was given notice and had to find a new space. In order to do that she needed money and Sheree describes what it was like to capital raise (her experience with her female investors sounds like the ideal scenario!) and then COVID hit. Where many women would have curled up in a ball as co-working spaces became unworkable, Sheree pivoted to online and created One Line, making the community and support services available to women around the country (and overseas). You'll love this story from a woman who is determined to support Australian female founders. Get inspired! This episode is sponsored by Brand for Brands.

    Nafisa Naomi - Founder of Animal Works International and Archibald Prize Winner
    Dec 10 2022

    Nafisa's story is absolutely fascinating. From growing up in Hong Kong and being 'good at maths as well as art, Nafisa studied for her medical degree to please her parents. As soon as it was finished, she started an activewear fashion brand that went global and she ran that for ten years before deciding to pursue her first love, portraiture. She went on to found Portraits Artists Australia, an NFP to support artists. She went on to win the Archibald Prize and the Gold Medal for Painting at the Florence Biennale and her work hangs in the National Gallery. 

    Another of Nafisa's great loves throughout her life has been wildlife and animals. She is now dedicating the rest of her life to wildlife protection as the co-founder of Animalworks International where they will be raising funds for specific equipment - and focusing on solar-powered water pumps. This is a woman who excels at everything she turns her mind to. A total inspiration!

    Lisa Andrews - Founder of Ignite Alliance, Co-CEO of SingularityU
    Dec 1 2022

    Lisa Andrews is, as she says, 'actively working on solving the global grand challenges' by using technology and innovation to make the world a better place. She has not had your average career. With a deep love of numbers, she went down the accounting route for many years, resulting in her creating a firm with 82 employees, before she chose a completely different path and started to explore working with entrepreneurs and visionary disruptors. 

    Lisa has also experienced two kidney transplants, both times with kidneys donated by family members, and to a certain extent, it is her experience of having an 'invisible disability' that has shaped her dramatic change and exciting future!  Lisa has really had an extraordinary career, including spending hours, one-on-one with Richard Branson on Necker Island, and going to Davos in Switzerland. By the time you get to the end of this interview, you should be all fired up and ready to take on the world!
