In this episode, I sat down with Jaryd Terkelsen, the tradie-turned-CEO who went from swinging a hammer on construction sites to building one of Australia’s fastest-growing coffee brands - Before You Speak Coffee.

In this episode, we dive deep into his incredible journey from working long days in the mines to selling over 2 million coffees in just 18 months, launching into thousands of retailers, partnering with Formula 1 teams, and turning a simple idea into a global wellness movement.

Jaryd shares the real story behind the brand, the early struggles, the bold $80K bet, and the massive risks that nearly cost him everything. We talk about how he left behind a secure job and took a huge pay cut to chase a dream no one believed in. From managing a supplement store on weekends to creating a high-performance coffee formula that changed his life (and the industry), this episode is packed with raw honesty, hard-earned wisdom, and powerful insights into what it really takes to build something that lasts.

In this episode:

• From Carpenter to Coffee CEO – How Jaryd walked away from life in construction to start a wellness coffee brand from scratch.
• The $80,000 Bet That Started It All – The moment he risked it all on a first production run that could’ve bankrupted him.
• How Before You Speak Sold 2 Million Coffees In 18 Months – The scrappy marketing and grassroots growth strategy that exploded the brand.
• Overcoming the Fear of Starting Over – What it really felt like to take a massive pay cut and leave a “safe” job to chase a risky dream.
• The $1.5M Tech Startup That Failed – Why his side business didn’t take off and what that failure taught him about focus, ego, and letting go.
• Going From Local Startup to National Retailer – How the brand scaled into Woolworths and got stocked across Australia.
• Sponsoring a Formula 1 Team with ZERO Experience – The behind-the-scenes story of how they landed a dream deal in one of the world’s most elite sports.

In part 2 of the podcast with Don & Matilda Robertson, Til opens up about her first awkward moments speaking to the camera and how she slowly built a loyal following by sharing every part of her life — even tinting her eyebrows and waxing her nose. What started as simple gym content turned into a full-blown movement, helping her grow a brand that people across the world now know and love.

Don shares how they created hype using scarcity, pre-sales, and behind-the-scenes storytelling to build a brand that fans became obsessed with. We also hear the real story behind their early panic moments — like being hit with a huge surprise factory bill or running out of stock while their ads were still live. Every step of the way, they chose growth over comfort, and that risk paid off.

In this episode:

• How Til went from posting nose wax videos to building one of Australia’s most hyped activewear brands.
• How they used scarcity and hype to sell out every single product drop (sometimes in under 60 seconds).
• What really happens when your factory sends double the stock… and your bank account isn’t ready for it.
• Don’s panic attack in Bondi and the emotional rollercoaster of scaling a business from the ground up.
• How STAX. mastered influencer seeding, brand loyalty, and viral drops — without even realising it was “marketing.”
• What they wish they knew about financial systems and the #1 skill every founder needs but no one talks about.
• Why the fear and stress never really go away — and how they’ve learned to ride the wave instead of fighting it.

In this episode, I sat down with Don and Matilda Robertson, the powerhouse couple behind STAX, one of Australia’s biggest and most loved activewear brands. From packing orders in a tiny storage unit with no power to running 11 retail stores and building a global community, Don and Til’s story is what every young entrepreneur dreams about. And today, they share it all.

We dive into their wild journey, from the early days of DM-selling hoodies with no stock, to betting everything on one goal: building a brand that stands for every body. Don shares how he went from being a broke designer with big ideas to leading a multimillion-dollar brand. Til talks about leaving her safe job in recruitment to chase a risky dream that changed her life forever.

We talk about the scary decisions, the moments they nearly gave up, and the huge mindset shifts they had to make to go from survival mode to scaling a real company. They open up about what it takes to lead a team, keep the soul of your brand, and stay true to yourself when everything around you is growing fast.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever thought of quitting their 9-5, anyone chasing a dream, and anyone who needs to hear that it’s okay to not have it all figured out.

In this episode:

• How Don went from selling protein bars and hoodies out of a storage unit to running one of Australia’s biggest activewear brands – STAX.
• Til’s leap of faith: why she quit her safe job in recruitment to go all in on a dream with zero guarantees.
• The pressure of scaling a business when hundreds of people’s livelihoods now depend on your decisions.
• Why building STAX with no money forced them to get creative – and how it helped them win big early.
• How growing up in completely different households shaped their money mindset and business decisions.
• The power of humility, ego and letting go of control when building a company that’s bigger than you.
• The real reason STAX has one of the most loyal, founder-led communities in Australia – and how you can build one too.
• What happens when you’re no longer just the dreamer – and why Don had to ‘kill off’ part of himself to become the CEO STAX needed.
• The difference between creative passion and business responsibility – and how they balance both without losing their soul.
• Why focusing on one person at a time – not millions – is their secret to authentic brand growth.

In this episode, I sat down with Hame Sele, NRL star, fashion brand founder, and proud father to uncover the story behind his incredible journey from the rugby field to the world of business.

Hame has played over 80 first-grade NRL games for the Dragons, Panthers, and South Sydney, and even represented Tonga on the international stage. But behind the scenes, his story is one of resilience, grit, and a deep drive to build something more, especially after facing back-to-back injuries and a major health scare that nearly ended everything.

This is the first podcast Hame’s ever done, and he holds nothing back. He shares what it was like coming back from injury, dealing with fear and self-doubt, and how those painful setbacks helped shape the man he is today. We dive deep into how becoming a father changed everything for him, helping him shift his mindset from “trying to impress everyone” to building a life and legacy for his kids.

Hame also opens up about launching his fashion label, ROMEO Collection, with his wife, a raw and honest look at what it’s really like starting a business from scratch while juggling rehab, training, and raising four daughters. He talks us through the behind-the-scenes of design, sampling, and how building a brand helped him rediscover his purpose outside of sport.

In this episode:

• How Hame turned footy setbacks into launching his fashion label with his wife.
• Coming back to pro footy after a major health scare and constant injuries.
• Letting go of perfectionism and people-pleasing.
• How fatherhood completely changed his view on success.
• Learning to bounce back faster from every setback.
• Being vulnerable online as an NRL player.
• What starting a clothing brand really looks like.
• Why staying playful helped Hame through tough times.
• Breaking old mindsets from growing up around toughness.
• The legacy Hame wants to leave for his kids.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Joshua Sparks — former CEO of iconic fashion houses like Sass & Bide, Thom Browne, and Urban Outfitters. He’s scaled global brands, sat in the boardrooms of billion-dollar companies, and now runs Together Studio, a boutique consultancy helping purpose-led businesses grow smarter.

But behind the resume is a deeper story.

Josh shares why he walked away from the corporate fast lane in search of something more meaningful — a journey that led him through burnout, spiritual discovery, and a complete reinvention of how he works and lives.

We go deep into the stuff most entrepreneurs don’t talk about:

• What success really feels like at the top (and why it’s often empty)
• The real causes of burnout — and how to recover without losing your edge
• Why your business might be your greatest spiritual teacher
• How to use flow states and creativity as fuel for growth
• What Zen philosophy, Jungian psychology, and ancient wisdom can teach you about scaling consciously

Josh reveals how high-performance founders can tap into creativity, alignment, and deep focus — without sacrificing themselves in the process.

This one is a must-listen for ambitious entrepreneurs, creatives, and ecom founders building brands that actually mean something.

In this episode:

• How Josh led $100M+ brands and why he walked away
• The spiritual crisis that cracked open a new way of living
• Using Zen to access creativity and clarity under pressure
• Why ‘balance’ is outdated — and what integration looks like
• Flow state as a business strategy (and how to find it daily)
• The rituals, questions, and frameworks Josh uses for inner work
• What ancient philosophy and quantum physics taught him about leadership
• How to build a brand that reflects your highest self

In this episode, we sit down with Steve Chapman — the man who built not one, but TWO powerhouse beverage brands. Steve is the founder of Shine (which hit over $60 million in sales and was stocked in over 7,000 stores) and now the creator of Hyro, the fast-growing hydration brand that’s shaking up the wellness space in Australia and beyond.

In this episode, Steve shares how he rebuilt himself from the ground up, what it really takes to walk away from a $60M brand, and the hard lessons he learned the first time around. We talk about the “death” of his old identity, the sacrifices of fatherhood, and why he believes true success is about doing something you love with people you love.

You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how Hyro was built — the wild marketing moves, how they sold out of stock 9 times, and why athletes and celebrities invested in the brand (not just promoted it). From branding strategies to mental health to building a community-first company, this episode is packed with both business gold and real-life wisdom.

In this episode:

• Why Steve left his $60M brand Shine to start all over again with Hyro.
• How a surprise pregnancy forced him to cancel his break and go all-in on a new business.
• The biggest mistakes he made with Shine and how he avoided them when building Hyro.
• Why focusing on branding and community from day one helped Hyro sell out 9 times in 12 months.
• How running marathons in a Hyro suit and hand-delivering drinks became his growth strategy.
• The pitch that convinced athletes and influencers to invest in Hyro (not just promote it).
• The moment Steve realised he was chasing the wrong definition of success.
• How becoming a dad changed his entire approach to business, time and life.
• The harsh truth about hustle culture and why the cost of building a brand is rarely talked about.
• What Steve would tell every first-time founder about staying profitable from day one.
