    Interview with Anna Hendra and Adrian Spierings
    Nov 15 2020
    Today's guests are on a mission to save the planet, one microalgae at a time...and they are starting with the superfood, Spirulina. How? Well, they have devised a way to make spirulina taste good...yep, that's right, tasty spirulina that happens to also have even better nutritional values than the yucky stuff you are used to. Anna Hendra is the founder of Ocean Orchards and along with her partner, Adrian Spierings is part of the Flair Incubator family. I am delighted to have them with me today to share the story of their journey so far, in bringing their idea into reality.

    Interview with Natalie D'Alessandro
    Nov 8 2020
    This week I have the incredible pleasure of introducing you to Natalie D'Alessandro. Her story is inspiring on many levels, some, like saving the planet I feel strongly aligned with, others, like having rooms full of clothing and accessories are less familiar to me, yet over the last few months of having Natalie in the Flair Incubator program, I have learned that there is an incredibly close association between these topics...and Natalie is a driving force to create a better solution to bring sustainable fashion into the minds, hearts and hands of people all over the world through Her Wardrobe Markets.

  • Interview with Ashley Jubinville and Matt Weller

    Interview with Ashley Jubinville and Matt Weller
    Oct 11 2020
    I knew that I would like today's guest before I met her. Ashley Jubinville and her partner Matt Weller are the Founders of Phyto, an innovative solution for butter lovers that want an alternative to the dairy variety...theirs is made from plants. Why did I know I would like Ashley? She filled out her application for Flair Incubator as if we were having a chat, and after being invited to the Selection Bootcamp, she responded to our questions with quirky answers that let us get to know her character and personality. This of course was confirmed once we met in person, and having her and Matt involved in Flair has been a blessing, as, in addition to their passion and commitment, they bring butter!

    We are so fortunate to have female founders from all across Queensland join us for the Flair Incubator, including today's guest, Kate Pearce. Based in the North Queensland city of Townsville, Kate has the furthest to travel, yet that has only spurred her on, even more, to make sure that she gets as much value from the program as possible. On her mission to make healthy eating the norm for kids, Kate has developed the Healthy Little Eaters game and animation as the first steps to making a positive impact to the nutrition of kids and parents around the world.
