In this episode, we are joined by one of my business idols, the amazing Janine Allis, who many of you will know as the founder of pioneering wellness empire, Boost Juice, and an investor on Shark Tank. She launched Boost in 2000 from a kitchen table in Melbourne after seeing the juice bar trend in the US at the age of 30, with no previous business experience. She is now the founder of Retail Zoo which is the mother company not only of Boost Juice, but also, as of 2007, Salsas and another business she founded, Cibo Espresso, which has since been acquired in 2012. Retail Zoo turned over just on $2 billion dollars (as of May 2018) with over 630 stores in 15 countries, sales of over $250m per annum and 7000 staff. Unsurprisingly, she has been recognised as Telstra Business Women of the Year, Amex Retailer of the year, Awarded Exporter of the year and this year BRW named her one of fifteen people that changed the way Australia does business in the last 35 years. She works alongside husband Jeff Allis and is a mother of four.

Janine and her husband Jeff expanded their retail empire and acquired Salsas Fresh Mex Grill and CIBO Espresso, under the holding company Retail Zoo. There are over 7000 staff between the four businesses. Janine’s success earned her a spot as a shark on Shark Tank Australia where aspiring entrepreneur contestants pitch their businesses to a panel of "shark" investors.  An adventurer at heart, travelling the world as a young Aussie backpacker in the 80s, working from a camp counselor in San Francisco to a Stewardess of David Bowie’s yacht.

Janine Allis openly shares her trials and tribulations on her business journey of the BOOST juice Brand. In this interview we discover how  Janine went from setting up just one juice bar business in Adelaide and how she grew her brand to an international multi million dollar business. Janine shares about the importance of hiring the right team around, how to build your dream business from scratch. She also gives specific advice to the ‘start up' entrepreneur to the entrepreneur who is evolving into being experts or wants to dominate in their field. My favourite part of this interview and biggest ‘Ah-Ha' moment is when she talks about accountability as a business owner and how she doesn't hold back asking the toughest questions to even her solicitors and accountants- “Know everything, otherwise it could very well cost you a fortune”. BOOST Juice bars was the first part of Janine's retail empire called ‘Retail Zoo', which I had the pleasure of being invited into her amazing office in Melbourne and being graced with her warm and open personality.
