By profiling 757 extraordinary women Kirstin began to reframe the conversation around powerful women on that platform. She’s since co-written a book called Women Kind, which explores that adventure in greater detail which I thoroughly recommend you read. Kirstin and I recorded this at the Betoota Advocate studios, and I learned a valuable lesson that day.

Mike Smith is an experienced entrepreneur from Sydney Australia. He’s currently building his 4th business “Zero Co” which aims to pull 1,000,000 plastic bottles out of the system in Australia in their first year of operation. He and I met quite by accident, one day after recording at the Betoota Advocate, I headed down to the Bourke St Bakery to pick up a pie and a tasty treat for my wife, and he was outside having a meeting. We spoke briefly and he told me what he was doing, asked me if I would like to get involved. And In the spirit of wading into things that confront me I said YES. ZeroCo.com.au is where you can get involved - he needs 14,000 Aussies to sign up to hit their target of 1M bottles out of circulation in 12 months. As of recording this, there’s a little under 3000 people signed up, and I’m pretty sure that number is going to climb after you’ve heard this. Mike’s building a unique business - one that is filling a need that so many Aussies know needs to happen. We know we want less single-use plastic, and we just want something to do - which is what Mike’s clearly doing. It’s a shame that it’s come to businesses to take the lead here - but until our Government looks at this as the national threat that it is, that’s the best we’ve got. Sign up at zeroco.com.au and enjoy this conversation with Mike Smith Hosted on Acast.

Jackie O is an Australian Radio Legend. She’s been on air non-stop for over 20 years, much of that time in an unbeaten #1 position with her on-air partner Kyle Sandilands. The two started working together 20 years ago, and have remained a dominant force in any market they broadcast into. At times they’ve been controversial - yet they have endured as pillars of Australian radio that has proven to destroy any breakfast radio team that comes up against them. Jackie’s story may surprise you and if you don’t know her path - today you’ll hear all about it. I can’t thank her enough for being so honest, open and sharing nerdy inside radio industry stories that I absolutely couldn’t believe. If you’re a radio head - you’ll love this. If you love her radio show, you’ll love this. If you have already made up your mind about who she is - this will challenge you.Jackie O can be head on KIIS FM every morning in Sydney, and you’ll see her tonight on The Masked Singer Australia 7:30pm here in Australia. I am so stoked to bring you this conversation with a true legend of Australian broadcasting - Jackie O.
