Have you ever thought about collaborating with other brands as part of your business and brand? It's definitely something I've been exploring and today on the podcast, I'm chatting to Phoebe Sherman, who I actually met through working with Adobe. In this episode, Phoebe shares her wealth of experience working with a variety of brands, how it has fitted into her business, and her top tips for finding collaborations, building relationships, and working successfully with brands. If you've been thinking about brand partnerships, or are just curious about how they work, I really hope you enjoy this episode! Key Takeaways Having multiple revenue streams can help your business navigate uncertainty and changes in consumer behaviour. Brand partnerships can be a significant revenue stream and you don't need a million followers or a service-based business to pursue them. Be prepared to pitch to brands, follow up multiple times (initial email and two follow-ups), and don't be afraid to negotiate your rates, especially regarding usage rights for your content. Finding brands to partner with involves understanding your audience, paying attention to the ads you see, and researching who to contact within a company (marketing manager, social media manager, PR email). It's important to align yourself with brands that share your values, but also be aware that this can be complicated and may change over time; trusting your intuition and being willing to say no to opportunities that aren't the right fit is key. Episode Highlights 00:01:07 - Phoebe shares the origin story of Girl Gang Craft and its evolution. 00:05:05 - Discussing the challenges of letting go of aspects of the business that are no longer working. 00:08:46 - Phoebe reveals the significant revenue generated from brand deals and her future goals. 00:12:58 - Practical advice on how to find and pitch to potential brand partners. 00:21:54 - Tips and insights on negotiating fees and understanding usage rights in brand collaborations.

What does it take to raise boys into men of character, compassion, and courage in today's complex world? In a time when masculinity is often misunderstood or misrepresented, one mother chose to walk the path with fierce love, deep intention, and unwavering hope.   This is a story of a woman who faced tragedy, betrayal, and transformation, yet emerged stronger, more open-hearted, and committed to nurturing greatness in her four sons. From the quiet strength of a scientist to the creative fire of an artist, each son carries a piece of her journey and their own unique story of becoming.   This conversation is not just about parenting—it's about negotiating identity, values, and purpose as a family.

Negotiating commercial leases is a high-stakes game where seemingly small details can snowball into massive financial consequences. This episode peels back the curtain on the critical elements that make or break lease agreements for both landlords and tenants.We start by tackling the fundamental question of who pays for lease preparation - revealing how retail and commercial standards differ and how the typical $2,000 cost is increasingly being split 50/50 between parties. But this is just scratching the surface. The real financial landmines lie hidden in the fine print that many skip over.For landlords, we expose how extended option periods with pre-programmed low rent increases can trap you in financially unsustainable arrangements for years. Even more surprising? These option periods that significantly limit your flexibility don't even enhance your property's value with lenders. We share startling examples of landlords who've signed away their financial futures with poorly structured 12+ year leases, and explain why COVID-era concessions should have been strictly time-limited.Tenants face their own set of pitfalls. We break down how experienced landlords leverage the magic of compounding through seemingly small rent increase percentages, and why property condition clauses that nobody reads can result in shocking $50,000+ bills when it's time to vacate. The notorious "make good" clause alone has bankrupted businesses who failed to understand their obligations.Perhaps most problematic is the deceptively simple term "outgoings" - a chameleon-like word that can encompass vastly different cost obligations depending on how it's defined. Is it just council rates and strata fees, or does it include land tax, agent fees, building insurance and maintenance? Without specificity, this single term can lead to bitter disputes and unexpected expenses.Whether you're a seasoned property investor or signing your first commercial lease, this episode delivers practical wisdom to protect your interests. Have questions about your specific lease situation? We're offering free advice even if you're not in our service area - just reach out and mention this episode!

What does Islam, particularly Shīʿī Islam, really say about same-sex sexual relations? Can Islamic legal frameworks, rooted in centuries of jurisprudence, ever be used to imagine the possibility of an Islamically valid same-sex marriage? What terms and categories did pre-modern Islamic sources use to describe what we might now call “homosexuality,” and what is meant by the claim that “homosexuality,” as a form of identity, is a modern concept? Is the story of Lot in the Qur'an really about homosexuality? And crucially, what Islamic perspectives exist in response to the deeply homophobic statement “Navigating Differences: Clarifying Sexual and Gender Ethics in Islam,” published in May 2023 and endorsed by those who argue that Islam categorically rejects same-sex sexual relationships? In Negotiating Homosexuality in Islam: A Legal-hermeneutical Examination of Modern Shīʿī Discourse (Brill, 2024), Mehrdad Alipour engages these urgent questions with intellectual rigor and legal precision. Alipour is a scholar of Iranian and Islamic studies whose work focuses on Islamic legal theory, Shi‘i thought, and the evolving discourse around sex, gender, and sexuality in both premodern and modern contexts. He earned his PhD in Arabic and Islamic Studies from the University of Exeter and received traditional training at the Seminary of Qom in Iran. He is currently based at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, where he leads the project Beyond Binaries: Intersex in Islamic Legal Tradition, exploring how intersex identities have been understood in Shi‘i legal texts from the 14th to early 20th centuries. Another publication of his, “Navigating Body Politics in Shiʿi Legal Tradition: Examining Sayyid Kāẓim al-Yazdī's Account of Non-Binary Intersex,” is available online for free to all readers. Rather than offering a theological verdict or issuing new rulings in the book, Alipour turns to the internal tools of the Imāmī Shīʿī legal tradition—most notably, the method of ijtihād—to explore how scholars have historically interpreted and might yet reinterpret questions regarding sexual relations. Through a careful and brilliant analysis of Qur'anic verses, hadith traditions, legal principles, and rational argument, Alipour shows how the Shīʿī legal tradition contains interpretive possibilities that could speak to contemporary understandings of homosexuality as a consensual, identity-based, and egalitarian practice. As Alipour clarifies in our conversation, his study does not attempt to declare what Islamic law must say about same-sex relations, but rather to identify and expand the discursive spaces within which such a conversation can meaningfully take place. By using the very legal principles and interpretive strategies that have shaped Shīʿī jurisprudence across generations, he invites scholars and jurists to consider how Islamic legal thought might respond, faithfully and creatively, to modern realities. The book is a thoughtful and necessary contribution to ongoing debates on Islam, law, and sexual diversity. In our conversation today, Alipour walks us through the book's key arguments and findings, highlights the significance of applying modern Imāmī ijtihādic principles to the question of same-sex relations, and outlines how core Islamic sources—the Qur'an, sunnah, reason (ʿaql), and consensus (ijmāʿ)—have been interpreted in relation to same-sex intimacy, with special attention to specific gaps in the story of Lot in the Qur'an. He also clarifies key premodern terms that are often cited by contemporary Muslim scholars as referring to homosexuality, unpacking their historical meanings and legal contexts. This here is my conversation with Mehrdad Alipour on his book, Negotiating Homosexuality in Islam: A Legal-hermeneutical Examination of Modern Shīʿī Discourse (Brill, 2024).
