The story behind EPIC Experiences: Having just turned 30, Meray had it all... successful job, her own apartment and just the right number of friends to hit the town with or visit that new show. Then what felt like overnight, everything changed. Friends got married, babies arrived and everything had to be pre-booked months in advance. Unique dining experiences, outdoor activities, how to classes all the things this city had to offer were suddenly out of reach... Meray had no one to go with. Spotting a gap in the market, Meray launched Epic Catch. "Shared experiences" was the business model and EPIC Experiences the conduit; a seamless end-to-end booking platform, that finds you someone to go with. Simply swipe for an event, swipe for a like-minded individual, confirm the booking, start chatting, share an amazing experience. EPIC Experiences takes care of it all for you.

Paul Baron moved away from corporate life to become an adviser, investor, and advocate for startups and innovation. His knack for putting out fires is both figurative and literal, he is an expert problem-solver and volunteer firefighter in his spare time.  "I’ve enjoyed a career that spans consulting, government and large corporates but have recently returned to my startup roots this time as an investor. I also work as a consultant and as adviser mostly in the tourism, digital and government areas. My son thinks I’m like Kenny (from the rental toilet film rather than South Park) perhaps because I love meeting people from all walks of life and chatting to them about their lives and their passions." https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulcbaron/ To find out about upcoming events organised by Melbourne Silicon Beach - Australia's fastest growing startup community - go to: https://www.meetup.com/en-AU/Melbourne-Silicon-Beach/ Melbourne Silicon Beach is proudly sponsored by: Victory Offices http://bitly.com/VictoryOffices_SD   MYOB   http://bitly.com/MYOB_SD   Allied Legal   http://bitly.com/AlliedLegal_SD   Your host, Dan O'Grady can be found on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/danogradysimpateco   and at simpateco.com.au   Intro & outro music by Dan O'Grady    

Lily is a 30-year old climate change activist from Canberra. She is the CEO and founder of The Neighbourhood Effect. The Neighbourhood Effect is a mobile app and website that uses behavioural science to make it easy, social and rewarding for Australians to connect to eco-friendly products, services and community initiatives in their neighbourhood, and to adopt green habits that reduce their carbon footprints. Local councils, green property managers and businesses white-label The Neighbourhood Effect's software to help their residents adopt sustainable behaviours, build community and reduce waste and energy costs. Through our app and website, users unlock recommended products and activities (across energy, transport, food, waste, neighbourhood initiatives and low-carbon consumer products) tailored to suit their lifestyle, household and location. The Neighbourhood Effect has been running for 18 months and in that time, it has launched a free website and mobile app for ACT residents with the support of the government there, launched a national pilot with Sydney City Council and CitySwitch called the Better Buildings Cup, a sustainable behaviour change program for commercial office buildings and, raised $30,000 through a 4-week crowd-funding campaign with ING's Dreamstarter program. Lily was formerly GetUp’s Market Impact Director, where she ran green consumer campaigns, helping 4000 Australians purchase GreenPower and 13,000 people switch to a carbon neutral electricity retailer. These campaigns had an impact equivalent to taking 50,000 cars off the road for a year and adding 2MW of additional renewable power to the grid. She has also worked as a consultant to the Australian environmental movement and was previously an analyst in an in-house management consulting unit in the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. Lily has a background in law and social science and is completing a Masters in Energy Change (climate change mitigation, environmental sustainability and renewable energy technology engineering) at the Australian National University. Lily is a Foundation for Young Australians 2017 Young Social Pioneer, a SheStarts alumnus (an accelerator program for female founders of tech startups with venture technology firm BlueChilli), the winner of the 2017 Allens Social Innovation Competition, and a national finalist in the Climate Launchpad competition for innovative green businesses. www.theneighbourhoodeffect.com.au info@theneighbourhoodeffect.com.au To find out about upcoming events organised by Melbourne Silicon Beach - Australia's fastest growing startup community - go to: https://www.meetup.com/en-AU/Melbourne-Silicon-Beach/ Melbourne Silicon Beach is proudly sponsored by: Victory Offices http://bitly.com/VictoryOffices_SD   MYOB   http://bitly.com/MYOB_SD   Allied Legal   http://bitly.com/AlliedLegal_SD   Your host, Dan O'Grady can be found on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/danogradysimpateco   and at simpateco.com.au   Intro & outro music by Dan O'Grady

Warrick Cramer is the CEO of Vodafone’s global innovation centre ’Tomorrow Street’ based in Luxembourg. After receiving a Bachelor of Commerce and Masters of Marketing and Management in his home country of Australia, Warrick built numerous businesses from the ground-up in the automotive, mobile payment, and advertising industries. As an entrepreneur, he faced many hurdles before finding success. He went through the journey of expanding his business in other markets all on his own. Inspired by his personal experience of lack of support and guidance as an entrepreneur, led him to form Tomorrow Street, an innovation centre in partnership between Vodafone and Technoport, giving later-stage tech companies access to international business by utilizing the power of Vodafone, its partners, and its customers. The Innovation Centre is the first of its kind aiming to cultivate cutting-edge innovations and ensure that both Vodafone and the Luxembourg community are at the forefront of the digital revolution. For Warrick Cramer, success is all about doing something different that will enrich people’s lives. What drives him is giving back to the community and making a difference in the world. Warrick will be departing Vodafone and returning to Melbourne and is happy to guide startups on the journey to success.

Creativity in language, ideas, the arts, music, cooking, problem solving, organizational behavior. The connection between disparate elements to find harmony and unique solutions. Simpateco is my current passion project. Our mission is to help founders, creatives, and digital natives to develop the soft skills necessary to develop connections. Contributing my skills to Silicon Beach has been a great way to connect with current and future founders. www.simpateco.com.au  Linda O’Grady My background in acting, corporate training, sales, and marketing has given me a passion to help others overcome communication barriers. In today's digital world, the most valuable skill of all is connecting with others, to understand and be understood. It has been great to team up with Silicon Beach as a host and MC for the pitch events and collaborating on marketing strategies. www.simpateco.com.au Bryan Smith Originally from Texas, I moved to Melbourne about 17 years ago. Bringing with me, experience, and interests in a wide range of topics such as politics, music, computers/electronics, faith, and general trivia. And although I've been working in IT for the last 20ish years to pay the bills, I've had quite a few side gigs to nurture these other interests. I've run community organizations both large and small, started a podcast with a friend, managed artists/bands as well as provide mirth and merriment to those around me. www.unstuck.consulting Athula Bogoda - Lead Organiser, Melbourne Silicon Beach Athula joined Melbourne Silicon Beach (MSB) in late 2012 to find his tribe. He was planning to launch a startup - Mettha. But he listened to too many professionals - psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors and even tech people, marketers, and investors who said it would never work. So he abandoned the idea and began leading MSB with Cullen’s help in early 2014 when it was a small community of around 1,500 members. In 2015 he helped Cullen start Silicon Beach Radio. Alex Malman Hey there, I’m Alex, member of Silicon Beach OZ I currently work in property management and work closely with an architecture firm. My background is in construction, community services, and small business. I believe everyone brings knowledge, talent, and dreams with them everywhere they go. Yet by and large, we fail to listen and explore the opportunities. It has been great to become immersed in the start-up community in Melbourne and have the chance to meet passionate entrepreneurs and founders.

Adam’s passion for strategy, education, digital marketing and low-capital start-ups are all explored through the Van Diemen Project, especially as Adam looks beyond what the business does to influence the entire region. This has seen Adam become a director of the Launceston Chamber of Commerce as well as the director supporting start-ups, innovation and entrepreneurship for Northern Tasmanian Development Corporation (a regional government organisation that covers one of the three regions of Tasmania). While The Van Diemen Project was founded in 2016, Adam has had a passion in the area of supporting entrepreneurs for a number of years, which included him being announced as the 2015 Tasmanian Young Australian of the Year (and finalist for Young Australian of the Year) for his passions in entrepreneurship, education and community development.

In a nutshell a Business Angel assists with Funding business growth the smart way Enabling you to work on and in your business at the same time Bringing purpose, passion and people together. Christine Kaine has been matching angel investors to entrepreneurial businesses since 1992. She established the second matching service in Australia after reading a newspaper article about business angels investing time and money to assist growing businesses achieve their potential. Christine believes her success is due to her focus on matching people’s values and skills ahead of the money, and that her experience in recruitment has been of great benefit in helping her achieve this. She is described as a profiler. Her understanding of behaviour and what makes relationships work helps her encourage people to tap into their own core values rather than fit into someone else’s expectations. Business Angels Pty Ltd has matched thousands of investors and businesses. It has helped to form a great variety of partnerships, with some angels investing time and money, and others providing mentoring and networking. Christine has written a comprehensive and practical guide to the process, "Private Capital for Private Companies" for those contemplating finding an angel investor or investing in a business. Her vision for the future often challenges the present in many uncomfortable ways. The underlying philosophy for all that Christine does is about collaborating rather than competing - open source relationships. She recognises that true networking needs to be much smarter and for this reason she has set up a new matching service called Crowd Entrepreneurs. Crowdsourcing is certainly one key to a future where the most valuable thing is people and their relationships with each other. www.businessangels.com.au Silicon Beach Radio Sponsors http://www.antstand.com/partner-eatt-magazine/ Join Cullen Pope host of the  Silicon Beach Radio program and podcast https://eattmag.com/silicon-beach-radio/ Event links and supporters EATT Magazine, one of our many sponsors was originally a crowdfunding and startup magazine moved quickly into travel podcast and education https://eattmag.com/category/travel/  and http://www.deakin.edu.au/ Offering a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate and research courses.

A Walk in Two Worlds A book by Ghina Makari Cane My whole life I wanted to be normal. For the seven-year-old daughter of immigrants that meant having a name like Jane, blue eyes, silky blonde hair and pale white skin. Not hairy arms, fuzzy dark hair, brown eyes, bushy eyebrows and a name no one could pronounce. EATT Magazine one of our key supporters here at Silicon Beach Radio has recently released an Online English Course in a series of videos https://eattmag.com/podcasts/for early English language learners. A Walk in Two Worlds is a book about my journey. First through the eyes of a child that came to a new world for a better life. A world where she didn’t know her place and didn't feel she belonged. She looked differed, ate differently and was different. The journey continues through the eyes of a teenager contending with two cultures but belonging to none. As an adult she travels the world to find herself and learns that we are not our parents, we are not our heritage and we are not our country. We are our own perfect fusion of them all. We are designers of our own cultural identity. I have met many people that live with angst, guilt and confusion. Lost between two cultures, two religions or two races. Feeling torn like they are being pulled in different directions. Trying to please their family, community and society. Trying to be everything everyone wants them to be. Juggling two worlds, two rule books and two ways of life but never feeling like they truly belonged to any. This book is for them. I want them to know that they are not alone and that they no longer need to feel lost. Through better understanding comes acceptance. I hope that through sharing my story it will help others with theirs. I want to empower them to design and define their cultural identity. Throughout the book I will share the stories and reflections of others, from all walks of life and different nationalities, races and cultures. I’ll also inject the wisdom of philosophers and inspirational writers that have touched me. This is my first book. I have always wanted to be a writer but never knew what to write about; until this book came to me. I have spoken to so many that need it, there are hundreds of thousands of children lost between two worlds. I hope to be able to help them. So I invite them to walk with me through the love, tears and laughter. To grow with me toward self-acceptance and understanding. To arrive with me to a place where they confidently and proudly walk in two worlds, knowing that they are defined by none. If you would like to stay in touch to hear about the progress of the book, you can follow me on Twitter and Facebook Ghinamak  Join Cullen Pope host of the  Silicon Beach Radio program and podcast at https://eattmag.com/silicon-beach-radio/ and tune into our new audiobook at https://eattmag.com/learn-english/page/3/

It highlights Government influence on the money creation process and how it causes inflation. Moreover, this film explains how most money we use today is created out of thin air by commercial banks when they make loans. Epic in scope, this film examines the patterns of technological innovation and questions everything you thought you knew about money. Is Bitcoin an alternative to national currencies backed by debt? Will Bitcoin and crypto-currencies spark a revolution in how we use money peer to peer? Or is it simply a new tool for criminals and the next bubble waiting to burst? If you trust in your money just as it is, this film has news for you. Available on Vimeo and Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-End-Money-As-Know/dp/B013HU3WX6 https://vimeo.com/ondemand/bitcoin

The main feature is the 90-second pitch segment where anyone is encouraged to pitch their idea, startup, app or whatever. This is an excellent way to get used to pitching and get feedback from a bunch of nonjudgemental peers. We also host ad hoc meetups, educational events, and collaborations with other meetups, co-working spaces, and education providers. Be sure to stay connected with us, make sure you enable messages from meetup organizers and whitelist emails from meetup.com domain so they don't get treated as spam. MSB is about you, we provide you the platform that will enable you to be that awesome startup founder, tech founder, coder, freelancer or whoever you want to be.
