Established in 2004 OzHarvest gathers surplus food and delivers it to charities supporting people in need. Ronni's impact extends globally, inspiring others to combat food waste and hunger sustainably.

How do you cope when employees, customers, and other stakeholders are more demanding than ever before? It's impossible to solve every problem, but you can partner with others - even outside your industry - to solve complex challenges and meet rising demands. Use cross-industry collaboration to unlock innovative solutions, share resources, and strengthen your organisation.https://swiy.co/go-cross-industry-collaborationHow are you coping – and planning to cope – with our fast-changing world in 2025?You don't need a futurist to tell you our world is changing faster than ever before, and we're going to face a lot more change, uncertainty, and disruption in the future.We're all experiencing this every day. But as a leader, how are you managing and navigating your team through that?Leaders have a dual responsibility now. On one hand, you have to navigate this change and lead your team through it. And on the other hand, you must keep an eye on the future so you can take advantage of the opportunities that change brings.The problem is people expect more.Customers are more demanding.Our employees are more demanding.Other stakeholders are more demanding.It's not enough to simply try to pedal faster and faster to keep up. It's tempting to try, but you will burn out. And even if you don't, it's impossible to keep up.So, what can you do instead?Instead of trying to solve all your problems internally, partner and collaborate with other organisations. It doesn't even need to involve people within your industry. You just need people who can help you solve problems you're not equipped to solve.This idea is called cross-industry collaboration, and it's rapidly gaining steam.I'm sure you have seen examples of it aready – for example:Woolworths partners with OzHarvest to provide surplus food to charities so that they don't waste it.Telstra and the Royal Flying Doctor Service are collaborating to increase the number of telehealth services for people in regional areas.The National Australia Bank (NAB) is partnering with Good Shepherd Microfinance to provide small micro-loans to customers who NAB isn't equipped to serve.This idea of cross-industry collaboration is one of ten key trends I've identified for leaders in 2025. I'm running an online presentation soon about these trends.I won't cover them all, but instead will focus on three key trends: one about customers, one about employees, and the other focused on you as a leader.This presentation is free and open to everybody. So please register and feel free to invite others in your team, especially leaders.Register for the virtual masterclass:https://swiy.co/go-cross-industry-collaboration Hosted on Acast.

Bec and Zoe have been best friends for over 20 years. In that time, they've ridden the waves of womanhood and motherhood together. And while they've lived parallel lives when it comes to navigating motherhood and career, over the years, they've regularly found themselves coming back to the same conclusion: that it's exhausting to try and be it all. To have it all. To be a superwoman, whatever that means.And so they brought their unique minds and journeys together – through Not Super. Woman – a podcast that explores the pressure to be super.And journeys, they have been on. Bec lost her mum to a six year battle with cancer when she was just twelve years old, and I don't think it's a stretch to say that it entirely influenced the way she wanted to show up as a mum. She was desperate to fill the void that she so deeply missed, and in her own words, she took on the martyr role, left her work in television, and felt that pressure to be super.Zoe on the other hand, felt a little more ambivalent towards motherhood. But, as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours and after loosely discussing trying to conceive with her partner, Zoe became pregnant just as she started a new job. But there wasn't just one baby in there. There were two, and while navigating pregnancy with trying to put her best foot forward in her new role, it was at 24 weeks pregnant that Zoe was put on bed rest in hospital. She wouldn't leave that hospital for another 10 weeks, when her twin girls came into the world. She wrote out rosters from the hospital bed, she felt like she was letting everyone around her down and after what felt like a lifetime, she was navigating life as a twin mum while desperately longing to return to paid work.Here, we hear about the best friends' journeys and relationships with paid work after children, why women need to take their creative and professional projects more seriously, and why we all need to rethink what it means to be super.---This episode of Ready or Not is brought to you by Floraly—fresh flowers (and the cutest tiny Christmas trees!) with same-day delivery, perfect for any occasion.

When I recently put a call out to interview mums working in more corporate fields, Bec O'Brien's email caught my attention. Her subject line read: 'corporate mum who loves to yap' and instantly I knew that we'd get along.This story is full of so many fantastic twists and unique plot lines. There's embarking on the journey to freeze her eggs just six months before falling surprisingly pregnant. There's the younger boyfriend, and the fact that she broke the news of the pregnancy to him in the bedroom of his share house. There's being the primary breadwinner, earning significantly more than her partner, and watching him effortlessly step into the primary carer role once she returned to work at roughly three months postpartum. There's a plane trip to Mexico for a big promotion just as she returned to work, and all the things she's learned about working full time alongside motherhood through it all.Here, we talk pros and cons lists and why they don't always make sense when it comes to motherhood, Bec's unexpected fixation on breastfeeding and what her experience with it was like, and why returning to work actually brought more balance to Bec's mothering, not less.---This episode of Ready or Not is brought to you by Floraly—fresh flowers (and the cutest tiny Christmas trees!) with same-day delivery, perfect for any occasion.

Alena Darcy may have worked on campaigns with Karlie Kloss, negotiated deals for Troye Sivan to perform, managed a red carpet with Natalie Portman, and organised too many fashion runways to count, but if you were to ask her which The Devil Wears Prada character she would've been in the former part of her career, she would've told you she was more Anne Hathaway and less Meryl "that's all" Steep.After building up a PR career working for some of the biggest Australian and international brands, Alena, like so many others, found herself newly pregnant, and made redundant as the world grappled with this little thing called COVID.Fast forward to today, and the mother of two's career and return to work journey has taken different shades. She's worked for herself, she's studied a post grad in psychology, she's now The Iconic's PR manager and she's learned a thing or two about the highs and lows of making work, work along the way.Here, we talk the whiplash of working in a fast paced industry and the vulnerability that comes with trying to stay relevant, the ways in which motherhood has enriched her leadership skills, and how she's navigated working for herself, working for a company that moves at the speed of culture and studying alongside motherhood.---This episode of Ready or Not is brought to you by Floraly—fresh flowers (and the cutest tiny Christmas trees!) with same-day delivery, perfect for any occasion.

Clare Stephens is a writer, editor, podcaster, and soon to be published author. She's smart, she's funny, she's accomplished, and she has that unique skill of being both ridiculously intelligent and talented, and entirely approachable and relatable.For all of her credentials though, Clare learned like so many of us, that while putting in the work usually leads to achievement in our careers, motherhood doesn't exactly follow the same set of rules. In fact, motherhood doesn't really follow any rule book, and I think it's fair to say we all have some thoughts on that. Clare is open about how a traumatic birth and breastfeeding challenges impacted her early motherhood journey, and she shares what she's learned with the beauty of space and hindsight.Here, we talk about the tension that exists between wanting to be present with your child and wanting to write down that idea or send that email, how after birth challenges impacted her experience of early motherhood, and why she's trying her best to give herself some grace.This episode of Ready or Not is brought to you by Floraly—fresh flowers (and the cutest tiny Christmas trees!) with same-day delivery, perfect for any occasion.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the genuine and inspiring Ronni Kahn AO. Ronni is a social entrepreneur who founded the food rescue charity, OzHarvest. She is a passionate advocate and activist and her mission to fight food waste and feed hungry people is supported by some of the world's finest chefs. Ronni is an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) and was named Australian Local Hero of the Year in 2010. Her journey is the subject of a feature film,  Food Fighter and her memoir, A Repurposed Life, has recently been published. In this conversation, Ronni tells us the remarkable story of a trip back to South Africa to visit an old friend that uncovered Ronni's purpose and changed the course of her life forever. She shares how it all began with OzHarvest, and how her passion is fuelled by purpose and Ronni considers it a privilege to be able to do the work she does in the world and make an incredible impact.  As well as Ronni's passion to feed the hungry, we also talk about her activism around food waste and the little-known fact that food waste is the second biggest contributor to global warming, and costs the Australian economy $36.6 billion dollars a year. Ronni shares with us some simple ways that we can all reduce our food waste and help her achieve her mission for Australia to halve their food waste by 2030.  Ronni is a great storyteller and we hear all about some of the incredible people she's collaborated with - from top international chefs to the patron of UK Harvest, none other than Queen Camilla herself.  To celebrate the 20 year anniversary of OzHarvest and bring awareness to the fact that 10 million Australians on any given day are in need of food, Ronni and her team are holding a Unite To Feed Australia concert on the 7th of November in Sydney, and she'd love for you all to be thaere!

This week Nicola and Di chat with Australian food icon and restaurant royalty, Matt Moran. Matt is best known for the incredible restaurants he's created, including Chiswick, North Bondi Fish, The Opera Bar, and of course the stand out of them all, Aria - and that's only a handful from a very long list. But it's not only his restaurants that make Matt an icon, he's also worked on 12 popular TV shows including Master Chef, Paddock to Plate and The Great Australian Bake Off alongside his dear friend, Maggie Beer. Add to that 4 best-selling cookbooks and a bunch of national and international awards, Matt certainly has an awe-inspiring career in the food industry. What we also love about Matt is how much he gives back - through the charity work he does for organisations like OZHarvest, through mentoring and guiding other young chefs as well as through his own sustainable farming - that's right, Matt is a fourth generation farmer! In this conversation we hear about Matt's lifelong passion for food and cooking, which began when Matt started as an apprentice at The Belle Helene restaurant when he was just 15. By the time he was 22, he had already opened his first restaurant in Sydney, The Paddington Inn Bistro. Matt's long and successful career has been shaped by hard work, persistence and perseverance - but above all, it's his passion that's been the driving force. As Matt reminds us - if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.  Matt opens up about his friendship with Gordon Ramsay, and what they get up to on the yearly trips they take together to Iceland. He also shares about the strong sense of community and mateship amongst chefs and the wonderful friends he's made over the 40 years he's been in the industry.  It was so lovely to chat to Matt about his life story and the remarkable imprint he's made, and continues to make, on the Australian food industry. He's such a down-to-earth and genuine guy and we loved having him at our back fence - we hope you enjoy listening.  Follow Matt Moran on IG here Find out more about some of Matt Moran's iconic restaurants below: Aria Opera Bar Chiswick North Bondi Fish  Chophouse Sydney The Rockley Pub Buy Matt Moran's Cookbooks here Follow Nicola and Di on IG hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Episode 2 of Season 12, I chat with Ronni Kahn AO, social entrepreneur and founder and CEO of food rescue charity OzHarvest. Ronni may call herself an accidental activist but her upbringing founded on principles of generosity and purpose have made her contribution to repairing the world, her calling. OzHarvest gave Ronni a force to find her voice and share her heart and now she colours the world yellow with abundant warmth, engendering joy wherever she goes. And whilst Ronni is rightfully revered for her altruistic work, she's also widely recognised for her eclectic style. Whether it's Indian cheesecloth, oversized accessories or just that happy slap of yellow, Ronni's style not only stands out but stands for her sense of purpose and repurpose. 

Ozharvest's Ronni Kahn and BBC veteran Siobhan Daniels join Dom Knight with their stories of an enriched later life.

The Spirituality Of Birth With Jessica Chapnik Kahn An honest exploration of two births, femininity, shame, rage and deep love. The becoming and disappearing of a mother. Welcome to Episode 3 of Season 6, our Rise of the Feminine season. In this collection of podcasts we are talking about how the feminine rises within us during pregnancy, birth and beyond. I'm so grateful that you are listening to these conversations on living in a way that fully honours our feminine journey and strength. Today's conversation is with one of my best friends Jessica Chapnik Kahn. She is co-author of A Repurposed Life with Ronni Kahn from OzHarvest. Author of the children's book Lenny and the Ants and the poetry collection MADRE, which was inspired by the birth of her son, Lev. Jessica lives in Sydney and is married to musician Nadav Kahn. She has worked in theatre and TV, played in the bands of some of Australia's finest artists, and released two solo albums. Jessy is an extraordinary human being, and you'll hear how much I love her. I wish that every person had such a curious and open minded friend in their lives. In this episode we chat about: Her two beautiful births. I was Doula at both her 5 year old and her 2 year olds birth. The postpartum world and this sense of disappearing as a mother. Birth, as a dream, and a rite of passage. Posterior labour, epidural and her little girl Shemi needing surgery after birth. We also talk about surrender, the hero's journey, the shame and maternal rage that we often feel as mothers. Plus, the rising of the feminine alongside the rising of the masculine. That has to happen at the same time. I hope you enjoy.

Ronni Kahn AO is one of the most inspirational women you'll ever meet. A passionate social entrepreneur, author and activist, Ronni is the founder and CEO of food rescue charity, Oz Harvest - an organization that fights food waste and feeds hungry people all over Australia. Originally from South Africa, where she experienced the brutal reality of apartheid, she was raised in a socialist commune in Israel before finally moving to Australia, and finding an incredibly different way of life. Years later, as the owner of a successful events company, Ronni hit mid-life and became acutely aware of the amount of food that was being wasted at each event. As a way to mitigate the issue, she began hand delivering the untouched food to homeless shelters, and from this initial action, Oz Harvest was born, and so too was Ronni's mission and life purpose. Oz Harvest has now provided 195 million meals to hungry people, and is a powerful force in combatting Australia's food waste issue, meaning that not only has Ronni created a social organization, but also an environmental one that's making a tangible difference to the health of our planet.
