#32 Hismile: How Nik Mirkovic and Alex Tomic Built a $1 Billion Empire Through Innovation and Social Media
Our next guests are on track to make a billion dollars over the next 12 months! Just under years ago 10 years ago, Nik Mirkovic and Alex Tomic started Hismile by selling at home teeth whitening kits by being early adopters of Instagram and Influencer marketing.
Today, through constant innovation and a focus on research and development, they have built out their range to disrupt the previously stagnant oral care industry. They’ve taken on the giants like Colgate and Crest and are now stocked in over 20k stores including Coles, Woolies, Walmart, CVS, Boots UK, and are on track for 40,000 retail doors by the end of 2024.
We also chatted about their amazing marketing strategies including nailing TikTok with over 4 million followers as well as working with Kim Kardashian. Super fascinating convo! I'm super sorry about the audio - as we're in different states, the boys couldn't join me in person! But you'll be sure to enjoy what they have to say regardless <3

#29 SWIISH: How Sally Obermeder & Maha Corbett Turned an Idea Into a Wellness Empire
On today's episode - I got to chat to the dynamic sister duo Sally Obermeder and Maha Corbett, the co-founders of the wellness and now skincare brand, SWIISH.
The story of how the business came about is so inspiring - Sally was 40 weeks pregnant when she found out she had stage 3 breast cancer, and then 6 months later mid way through her chemo treatments, she called Maha and said we need to do something that helps people feel amazing.
From there, the journey to SWIISH started, but there’s a lot more to it which I’ll let Sally and Maha tell you about.
With a focus on innovation and being first to market, SWIISH leads the way in the wellness supplements space.
I absolutely love these girls, this was such a fun chat, and so inspiring.

Hey Poddy fam, today I’m chatting to Priscilla Hajiantoni. Priscilla spent 15 years dealing with skin issues and one day decided that she was going to solve that problem. And that solution was Bangn Body. She invested her house deposit to fund the business - yes she literally was betting the house.

#21 Flora & Fauna: How Julie Mathers Bootstrapped Her Way to Owning 3x 8-Figure Businesses
Julie Mathers is the incredible founder behind the vegan and eco retailer Flora and Fauna. Driven by their purpose and values, everything Flora and Fauna stocks is vegan and cruelty-free and everything in their range is selected based on ethics and environmental impact.
Completely bootstrapped, Julie grew Flora and Fauna to $20 million dollars a year in sales. Until 2021, when Julie sold Flora and Fauna for $30 million dollars, and then went on to acquire the cult baby brand Snuggle Hunny, an 8-figure business that is experiencing really fast growth.
But then, and hold on to your socks cos this blows my mind, Julie has not only recently actually bought Flora and Fauna back, but has also bought one of their previous competitors Nourish Life.
She literally now owns 3x 8-figure businesses!!

#20 Anytime Fitness: How Jacinta McDonell Built Australia's #1 Gym Chain That Makes Over $330 Million a Year
Hey poddy fam! Today I’m chatting to Jacinta McDonell who made her mark in the business world when she brought the highly successful US franchise, Anytime Fitness, into Australia in 2008.

It was super interesting to learn more about the franchise model and about how she successfully scaled up to so many locations so quickly.
Fast forward to today - Jacinta is now a national board member for the Hunger Project, as well as sitting on advisory boards for other businesses and has recently started a new business Brave Spaces which supports others on their journeys of self-discovery, particularly through times of change.

Prepare to be inspired as we uncover the story and mission behind Thankyou and we go right back to the very beginning to 2008 where Daniel, Justine and Jarryd founded Thankyou to help bridge the gap between extreme poverty and extreme consumerism.

Today I'm talking to Cassey Ho who has built an incredible fitness empire. She has 16 million followers across her social media platforms and almost 3 billion, yes billion, views on YouTube. She built 2 incredible 8-figure business from nurturing her community of loyal followers and putting her customers in the centre of everything she does. We talk about how she built her community, then how she built a business off of that, as well as parental pressures, body shaming, online bullying and removing toxic people. And it's crazy how many parallels Cassey and I have... well let's get right into it!
