You’ve spent your whole life feeling like something’s wrong with you. Here’s a radical thought: what if you’re not broken - just different? Welcome to Different, Not Broken, the no-filter, emotionally intelligent, occasionally sweary podcast that challenges the idea that we all have to fit inside neat little boxes to be acceptable. Hosted by L2 (aka Lauren Howard), founder of LBee Health, this show dives into the real, raw and ridiculous sides of being neurodivergent, introverted, chronically underestimated - and still completely worthy. Expect deeply honest conversations about identity, autism, ADHD, gender, work, grief, anxiety and everything in between. There’ll be tears, dead dad jokes, side quests, and a whole lot of swearing. Whether you're neurodivergent, neurotypical, or just human and tired of pretending to be someone you’re not, this space is for you. Come for the chaos. Stay for the catharsis. Linger for the dead Dad jokes.

Explore the booming hot chilli sauce market with Renae Bunster, a leader in Australia's hot sauce scene. In episode 662 of the award-winning Small Business Big Marketing podcast, Renae updates us on her expanding empire, including her new Tequila and pre-mixed cocktail lines. Get ready for a fiery discussion! A little more about Bunster's Worldwide founder Renae Bunster ... During a holiday through central America in 2011, Aussie journalist Renae Bunster fell in love with the delicious fresh hot sauces from the region. Upon returning home she couldn’t find anything that came even close, so like all good entrepreneurs, she began making her own, calling it Shit The Bed ! Friends who'd never even liked chilli before were suddenly kicking down her door, and it quickly turned into a thriving business with orders coming in from all over Australia. In fact, when I first interviewed Renae in episode 401 , she was already selling $8,000 worth a day, and was the number one selling hot sauce on Amazon Australia ahead of the giant Sriracha ! Realising she was on to something, she sent a load over to the US and Shit The Bed quickly became number one on Amazon USA! Today, the Bunster hot sauce empire is thriving with new flavours added, supported by a huge national distribution including Woolworths , plus Renae has extended the brand into pre-mixed cocktails and a dedicated Tequila brand with flavours including Peanut Butter and Fruit Tingle! So sit back as Renae shares how she’s gone about building her empire, along with how she’s raised $3.7M through equity crowd-funding, and how she got her hot sauce brand featured on Hot Ones , one of YouTube's biggest channels. As always, you’ll find a video snippet from this interview that I feel is super interesting over at Patreon.com/MarketingPodcast .

How to create an untouchable business by doing less | 660 1:02:30

Today’s guest lives by the philosophy that offering less enables you to build a business that others simply can’t touch. Has it worked? Has it ever! It’s a ridiculously simple yet powerful, episode 660 of The (14 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. A little more about Mobile Skips owner Jacob Spencer ... Eight years ago, and without any industry experience, Jacob Spencer bought the underperforming Mobile Skips business. This year it will turn over $8 million, thanks to his 17 very motivated franchisees across Australia, a lucrative Bunnings contract and his very own and unique skip bin design. Now … if you think there’s nothing to learn from a mobile skip business, then you could not be wronger! Jacob, who’s incredibly humble about his business achievements and marketing know-how, has built a highly profitable business off the back of some very clever, yet simple, concepts. Concepts, that as you’ll see, have made it hard for others to replicate. And concepts that you can apply immediately into your business. So seriously, grab a journal, as you’re about to discover so much business and marketing gold including: Why choosing to do less creates an untouchable business The power of offering a celebrity service (and that’s not what you think) What you can learn from Janine Allis and her Boost Juice empire How to create a brand that attracts the right people Jacob explains how he’s encouraged over 5,000 Google reviews And you’ll hear yet another example of a compelling customer experience A big thank-you to past guest and founder of Lord of the Fries , Amanda Leigh-Walker, for bringing Jacob and his business to my attention.

Recently ex-chef turned online entrepreneur Frank Greef shared his incredible journey with us in which he and his brothers started a business in a field they knew nothing about, risking their parents’ livelihood, and then selling it for $180M. As amazing an episode as it was, I was reminded by a long-time listener that Frank and I neglected to cover one very important point. One that if you truly get your head around, your business life will never be the same again. It’s an inspiring episode 659 of The (14 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. A little more about Real Base co- founder Frank Greeff ... In episode 655, I interviewed ex-chef Frank Greeff , who with his two brothers, created and sold a real estate marketing business for $180M, risking their parent’s business along the way. If you’re yet to listen to that chat, I’d encourage you to do so. Based on your feedback, it’s clear that you guys loved Frank’s story BUT, it’s also clear that I didn’t go quite far enough, as this note from long-time listener Ben Minutoli makes clear. Here’s what Ben had to say … “Hey Timbo, please tell me you have plans on getting Frank Greeff back on the show again soon? We went the whole episode hearing about his business and how he built it up from nothing and sold it for a fortune and all the lessons along the way. But then, right at the end, Frank drops the bombshell that he’s planning to write and sell a cookbook, to raise a million bucks for charity in less than 2 months, and to do that he has hired a videographer and will be doing content marketing costing up to $300,000. Ohh mate!!!! You need to get him back on so we can hear about what he plans to do and why he decided to go that way.” Well Ben (and others) your wish is my command.

This is a masterclass in leveraging high-profile collaborations to redefine the escape from modern stressors through the power of nature. Tune in for inspiration on cultivating impactful partnerships. A little more about Unyoked's founder Chris Grant ... In 2017, Chris Grant and his twin brother Cam embarked on a venture to redefine our connection with nature through Unyoked , with strategic partnerships at the heart of their mission. Unyoked’s off-grid, minimal impact cabins, strategically placed in the midst of unspoiled landscapes, offer a respite from the relentless pace of modern life, serving as a bridge back to the ancient calm of the wild. With a growing portfolio of 100 bespoke cabins across three countries and over 35,000 stays, Unyoked's journey has been bolstered by strategic collaborations with the likes of Matthew McConaughey and tech titan Apple. These alliances have not only amplified their reach but have also affirmed their innovative approach to merging tranquillity with enterprise. This expansion and recognition as leaders of innovation have been fuelled by a recent $28 million funding, earmarked for a European venture. Chris and Cam's recognition in The Australian's Top 100 Innovators for two consecutive years speaks volumes of their vision. In our conversation, I explore with Chris the challenges of transitioning from corporate life to carving a path in the wilderness, underpinned by strategic partnerships that transform and transcend.

Who doesn't love unconventional marketing ideas? Olivia Carr of Shhh Silk does. When it comes to marketing her business, Olivia Carr is all about out-of-the-box-thinking. How out of the box? Like … she flew to LA from Australia, hired a car and drove to the Kardashians house and left them some product! It’s an all-systems-go episode 656 of The (14 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. A little more about Shhh Silk's founder Olivia Carr ... Righto, at this point I normally rabbit on about supporting the work I do for small business by joining my Membership over at Patreon.com/MarketingPodcast. But I have something so much more important to share with you, especially if you’re looking for new and effective ways to put your business on the map OR simply if you want to add more fun to your marketing. Olivia Carr is the founder of Shhh Silk . An online / offline business that sells silky things that help you sleep - eye masks, pillow cases, etc. It’s turning over around $2M a year and has seven staff. But that’s not important right now. What is important is the way she goes about building the business, through fun, Guerilla-type marketing ideas. And she has plenty. From driving right up to the front door of the Kardashian’s house unannounced, to flying a plane towing a promotional banner over the Melbourne Cup, Olivia is a huge believer of out-of-the-box thinking. Her mantra is to do what other business owners aren’t willing or haven't even thought about doing. That’s where the clear air is. Now, a couple of things to note … Olivia has written a book called Self Made which you’ll hear referenced a few times, plus she’s endured a troubled upbringing, postnatal depression, and she’s a fellow sufferer of anxiety … all of which we touch on in the early stages of this very personal chat.

Who doesn't love a bit of unconventional business wisdom! Ben Leonard has no business training. In fact, his background is in Ecology. Oh, and he’s a whale and dolphin nerd, who had no interest in fitness, until his mid 20s, when he decided to build a successful online fitness brand called Beast Gear which, in its third year, turned over six million large ones! It’s an unbelievable episode 654 of The (14 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. A little more about this episode First and foremost Ben Leonard is an ecologist by trade, and a self-confessed whale and dolphin nerd. Thanks to a health scare, he’s also the founder of Beast Gear , an online business, built on a laptop, in a cupboard, in his spare time, with an initial £1,000 investment. Three years later, Beast Gear was turning over more than £4 million at which point Ben achieved business’s Holy Grail …. and exited for life on a hammock. Well, that’s not exactly true … whilst he did exit with a nice little earn, he’s already in the throes of at least two more online business ideas … one which I absolutely love. Oh, and he’s also written a book titled Quit Stalling & Build Your Online Brand . What is it with these millennials?! In this chat, Ben generously shares where the idea for Beast Gear came from, how he scaled using chatbots and Instagram, why a huge fitness brand tried to sue him and failed, plus he’s a big fan of the business learnings from Sonic the Hedgehog! With all this success, and with so many eCommerce stores out there, I started off by asking Ben whether it’s too late for the average Joe to start one.

Canva's Melanie Perkins. From her parent’s lounge room in 2013, 32 year old Melanie Perkins invented Canva; an online design tool with a mission to empower everyone in the world to design anything and publish anywhere. In 2023, Canva has just been valued at 25.5 billion dollars! It’s a rags to riches episode 652 of The (14 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. A little more about Canva founder Melanie Perkins ... In 2006, Melanie Perkins was a troubled 19 year-old teenager. Not by the usual stuff that troubles most people of that age. Oh no … something much more serious. Melanie was troubled by the fact that desktop publishing software (like Adobe, CorelDraw and Photoshop) was complicated and hard to use. So, like any smart, young entrepreneur, she came up with a simple, elegant solution … starting small by launching a business making high school yearbook design easy. It was a huge success, and following an unexpected meeting with a venture capitalist, she found herself able to pursue her original idea and the chance to take on the software industry giants of the desktop publishing world. Fast forward to 2023, and Melanie’s online design platform Canva , has recently been valued at $25.5B, she employs over 2,500 staff who have no working hours or dress code, Canva has over 135 million active users … and here’s the interesting bit … Melanie thinks she’s only just scratched the surface of what’s possible. This interview is from 2019 when I caught up with her in Canva’s new inner-Sydney 7-story office which resembles something more of an oversized cubby house for millenials, complete with a very cool rooftop garden, full commercial kitchen pumping out two home-cooked meals a day, a very funky, well-stocked bar, and all types of meeting booths and rooms and pods full of young folk getting stuff done. I started off by asking Melanie what it feels like to be the founder of a company that (at the time) was valued at a tiny $3B?

Goal setting in business. Long time friend of this podcast Steve Sims, AKA the man that can, whose clients include Elton, Elon and Sir Richard, has one piece of proven advice for all of us … Go for stupid. Ignore it and you and your business is destined for a life of mediocrity. Listen to it, and you just may achieve the ridiculous! It’s a strategically stupid episode 650 of The (14 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. A little more about Go For Stupid author Steve Sims ... Steve Sims is the visionary founder of the world’s first luxury concierge that delivers the highest level of personalised travel, transportation, and cutting-edge entertainment services to corporate executives, celebrities, professional athletes, and other discerning individuals interested in living life to its fullest. He is also author of a fantastic book on how and why to set ridiculous goals, aptly titled Go For Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals . Previous interviews with Steve Sims: A simple referral marketing technique | 236 How to get Elton John as a client | 452 Steve teaches you how to ignore what everyone else thinks and go for big, stupid, ridiculous goals. From organising a private dinner in front of Michaelangelo's David to securing a tour of SpaceX led by Elon Musk himself, his accomplishments always start with the same questions: How far can I take this? What would make this a stupid achievement? You’ll also discover: How to get out of your own way The right questions to ask when starting a new project The habits of highly successful people Plus Steve describes his Speakeasies that have had him take paying clients into the world's most famous brothel and a level 4 high security prison. Oh, and one last thing. Despite Steve’s pommy accent and a network of people any of us would kill for, he looks like he’s just stepped off a Harley and is ready to rumble! I started off by asking Steve why he loves to be laughed at!

Here's some B2B sales tips for small businesses. Afterall, B2B selling can be tricky. Even trickier if you’re selling a complex product or service to an infrequent buyer. Today’s guest is confronted with both these challenges on a daily basis. Poor him, but lucky us as he’s about to share how he does it. It’s a businessy episode 649 of The (14 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. A little more about BindiMaps Co-Founder Mladen Jovanovic ... So I know I’ve set up today’s special guest Mladen Jovanovic of BindiMaps , as a B2B sales expert. And he is; and you’re going to love the tips he shares including a super simple formula for ensuring your prospects feel understood, and why focussing on your staff first is also good for B2B selling. Buy Malden's B2B Sales Tips Training Course here. But Malden is also the co-founder of a very unique business. Called BindiMaps , think of it as Google Maps but for the indoors. That’s right, BindiMaps starts where Google Maps finishes. It maps large buildings, shopping centres, hospitals, sporting venues and so on, and delivers these maps via an app. I do love the never ending ways people make money! Launched in 2019, the business employs 19 staff, has offices in Sydney and Melbourne, and has mapped indoor locations across Australia, New Zealand and Europe. So lean in as Malden shares the BindiMaps origin story, why the original target audience quickly changed once they went live, and how they’ve gone about selling a complex product to an infrequent buyer.
