In this episode, Managing Partner Tim Whybourne catches up with serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist and TV personality Steve Baxter. They discuss everything from Steves's background, his early wins in business through to his latest venture investing in anything defence-related where many other funds are not able to.Steve grew up in north QLD before joining the Military at the age of 15 taking on a military apprenticeship in engineering, electronics, and telecoms. His career in the Army spanned 9 years before he left to launch his first start-up called SE Net from his bedroom. This business was eventually acquired by OZemail under the stewardship of ex-Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. In 2001 Baxter teamed up with his schoolmate and serial tech entrepreneur, Bevan Slattery to launch his second start-up in Pipe Networks before selling that to TPG in 2010. Steve founded River City Labs, Brisbane's well-known co-working hub in 2012 and has been championing Australian startups and entrepreneurs ever since.  He has appeared as a ‘Shark' on Channel 10's Shark Tank Australia since 2014.In this episode, we discuss Steves's latest venture in his new fund called Beaten Zone Ventures which aims to invest in early-stage defence businesses that are developing weapons and systems to assist with holding, aiming and controlling weapons in addition to training soldiers to protect them from opposition lethality.Disclaimer: The information in this podcast series is for general financial educational purposes only, should not be considered financial advice and is only intended for wholesale clients.

My next guest needs no introduction, but here's one anyway. It's none other than my fellow Shark on Shark Tank, Robert Herjavec. Robert is one of the most renowned entrepreneurs globally and is an OG Shark from the US Shark Tank, Canadian Dragon's Den and of course Shark Tank Australia. From humble beginnings as a poor refugee, he built and sold his first company for $600,000. From there, he started a software business that he sold to AT&T Canada for $32M. From there, he built his next business Cyderes in cyber security which he recently sold for almost a billion dollars. (That's in USD, so he's technically a billionaire in Australia dollars though.)Robert is literally one of the funniest, kindest and most interesting people I know, and you guys are absolutely going to love this chat! Alright let's get into it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back to part 2 with Robert Herjavec. He recently sold his cyber security business Cyderes for almost a billion dollars and is of course one of my fellow Sharks on Shark Tank Australia, and also US Shark Tank and Canadian Dragon's Den. Make sure you listen to part 1! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sabri Suby is the Founder and Head of Growth at King Kong, Australia's fastest-growing direct-response digital marketing agency. The company has generated over $7.8 billion in sales in over 1,000 industries. As an author and thought leader, Sabri wrote the international best-selling book Sell Like Crazy and has been featured in publications, including Forbes and Entrepreneur, where he contributes articles on entrepreneurship, digital marketing, and business growth strategies. He was one of five investors on the 2023 season of Shark Tank Australia. In this episode… The secret to brand growth isn't experimenting with various popular hacks and hoping something works. In reality, many brands focus on the wrong metrics. For instance, 80% of people spend 80% of their time reducing customer acquisition costs and 20% of their time increasing AOV and customer LTV. These numbers should be reversed, as nurturing your existing customers leads to lower acquisition costs. How can you uplevel the customer experience to scale your brand beyond $100 million in revenue? With experience generating over $7 billion in revenue for various e-commerce brands, Sabri Suby maintains that you can't scale sustainably without generating value for your customers and creating exceptional experiences. This requires garnering their attention and convincing them to purchase from you through compelling brand stories and messaging. However, you can't just distribute a catchy slogan and logo across various social channels and expect to build your brand and audience. You must identify your target customer, market and develop messaging around their central problem, and determine a product differentiator to craft a brand story.  Join William Harris for another episode of the Up Arrow Podcast as he interviews Sabri Suby, the Founder and Head of Growth at King Kong, about his $7.8 billion growth strategies. Sabri shares what DTC brands can learn about luxury brands' customer experience strategies, the worst pitch he's ever witnessed on Shark Tank Australia, and how he built a $500 million sales machine for MrBeast.

Naomi Simson is an Australian business owner and leader who's seen it all. From founding RedBalloon, an online marketplace for experiences in 2001, to being a judge on Shark Tank Australia, she's full of insights.

I am honoured to welcome Annie Nguyen to The Debra Shepherd Podcast. Annie is the Founder of Annee's Caphê Sua Da (ANNEES), Australia's first free standing Vietnamese iced coffee bar in far north Queensland. Annie was born in Vietnam and raised in America. After working in corporate finance, she left behind the structured world she knew to explore what the rest of the world had to offer.   In 2014, Annie travelled to Australia with her partner. When she arrived, she couldn't get a job as a barista specialising in crafting authentic Italian espresso, so she decided to share her expertise in Vietnamese coffee and her rich cultural heritage. Annie set up a stall at the farmers market in Cairns, which was ideal given the tropical climate, perfect for serving robust Vietnamese iced coffee.    Although initially a light-hearted endeavour, starting a coffee stand awakened a fire within her, amplifying her innate drive to foster creation and unity among individuals. Annie found herself building a platform to empower and enable others to catalyse substantial change around them, guiding them towards purpose and self-discovery. Unlocking true potential is what ANNEES is all about.  ANNEES is not merely a coffee making establishment. ANNEES is a destination to experience the essence of joy and a mission to extend beyond borders with the goal to spread 'A-Piece of Happiness' worldwide.  In this episode, Annie shares her business story. We discuss meaningful living, happiness, purpose, business expansion, impact and success. HIGHLIGHTS Having purpose in everything you do. From leaving corporate finance and setting up a Vietnamese coffee stand at the Rusty's market in Cairns to owning five shops in Far North Queensland, Annie shares her story. Personalisation and the guest experience at ANNEES. Annie's biggest lessons in business. What it was like to be on Shark Tank Australia. Annie's mission and six guiding principles that help her team integrate this mission into the business. How 2024 will be a year of further expansion. How Annie creates time and space for herself and how she finds balance. Being authentic and using this as your marketing strategy. The importance of human connection. Plus, more!

But as one of Australia's most visible tech entrepreneurs, active investor and mentor to numerous startups, he has done more than almost anyone in the country to popularise early stage technology investment. He also provides some of the most useful and easy to remember advice to entrepreneurs, like ‘execution is everything' and ‘don't treat your business as a cash register'. Steve has been championing Australian startups and entrepreneurs since he founded River City Labs, Brisbane's well-known co-working hub in 2012. But many of us are most familiar with Steve as a result of his appearance as a ‘Shark' on Channel 10's Shark Tank Australia. These days Steve is energised by TEN13 an investment syndicate platform for sophisticated investors to invest alongside him and the experienced Investments team that supports him. It was a real treat to speak with Steve – and like me I am sure you will not die wondering what he really thinks.

Today I talk with Chris Westfall, about how to make life easier in these troubling times. One of my all-time most admired and respected actors, Robert Redford, commented “ I'm interested in that thing that happens where there's a breaking point for some people and not for others. You go through such hardship, things that are almost impossibly difficult, and there's no sign that it's going to get any better, and that's the point when people quit. But some don't.” That got me thinking about about hardship in today's world, and about how many of us are stretched to near breaking point. Out of curiosity, I searched the phrase "life is hard" and google returned 10 million results.  Then I searched "how to relieve stress" and google found 1.7 trillion results.  So clearly, like me, many of you over the past two years, have been struggling through hardships of different degrees, sometimes angry, sometimes anxious, often overwhelmed, always waiting for life to return to normal, to become easier. Who quits? Who does not? Today's guest, is Business Coach, Keynote speaker and author, Chris Westfall, whose latest book is called Easier:  60 Ways to Make Your Work Life Work for You. His book is written in the style of narrative dialogue between The Client and The Coach, with the objective being for fresh ideas to emerge through this dialogue and  ultimately help the Client define a better life.   I was drawn to the definition of Easier, described early in the book`. “Easier is where life's better, where we find freedom. Clarity. Confidence. It's where we don't struggle and suffer and wish and try to manage the whole world". (Chris Westfall) Chris is one of the most sought-after business coaches and keynote speakers in the world. He has helped launch over five dozen businesses, and has appeared on ABC NEWS, NBC TV and CNN. A regular contributor to Forbes, he has worked with thousands of leaders at Fortune 500 companies, non-profit organizations and high-tech startups. A coach to entrepreneurs and executives around the globe, his clients have appeared on Shark Tank, Dragon's Den and Shark Tank-Australia.  He regularly consults with top-tier universities and is the author of three other books, including Leadership Language, Bullet Proof branding and the NEW Elevator Pitch. We discuss his belief that when it looks like life, career, communication and everything else is breaking down, it's time to break free and access a kind of personal freedom that allows you to make different choices, see things in a different way and enter into an understanding of what would make your situation easier.  Chris is offering his gift of a free on line course where you can explore some of the themes and  challenges described inside the book to help you to show up at your best and create the world you want.   To contact Chris Westfall.   Free online course: https://chriswestfall.newzenler.com/courses/peak-performance-with-chris-westfall/dashboard  - Chris' website: https://westfallonline.com/ - Easier's website: http://easier-book.com - Easier's Amazon webpage: http://bit.ly/easier-book - Chris' Facebook: http://facebook.com/therealchriswestfall - Easier's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/easierbook  Contact Dr. Gillian Lockitch:   To discover how you can  create your personal lifestyle roadmap to Growing Older Living Younger, visit www.askdrgill.com to order your copy of Growing Older Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and The Art of Retiring Comfortably.  Schedule your free Living Younger Discovery Call with me at https://calendly.com/askdrgill/discovery-phone-chat

What separates the best entrepreneurs from the rest? Top investor, founder and ‘Shark' Steve Baxter knows better than anyone. Steve is one of Australia's most successful tech entrepreneurs who gives back as an investor and mentor, while also starring on Channel 10's very popular Shark Tank Australia. In this episode we'll look at what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur alongside Steve's own journey, while next episode we delve into what makes a successful start up business and how you go about evaluating and investing in them. Steve is the living epitome of the old saying that ‘Today I'll invest in what others won't, so tomorrow I can do what others can't!' In 1994, at the age of just 23, Steve put his life savings of $11,000 on the line to launch his first startup, the pioneering internet service provider SE Net, from the spare room of his Adelaide home, as you'll hear in detail during our chat. And it was around that time that I had the pleasure of first meeting Steve, as his business partner was a mutual and longtime friend of mine Chris Foote. Growing rapidly to service more than 35,000 customers, SE Net was eventually sold and acquired by Ozemail under the stewardship of its Founding Director and past Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull. In 2001, Steve then teamed with a schoolmate to launch his second startup, PIPE Networks, a provider of wholesale telecom infrastructure that was listed on the ASX in 2005. Eight years later they sold it to the TPG Group for the princely sum of just $373 million – a truly hard fought and lifechanging moment. Steve then spent a year working with Google in California in 2008, leading a project to deliver high-speed telecommunications systems across North America. Since 2010 he has become an early stage investor in startups through his investment company, Transition Level Investments. This led to the founding of Brisbane tech startup hub River City Labs and the creation of Startup Catalyst and RiverPitch programs, and he's been championing Australian startups and entrepreneurs ever since.  He's also been on the listed boards of Vocus Telecoms, Indoor Skydive Australia Group and Other Levels as well as being on the board of Commercialisation Australia. Steve's also been heavily involved in the early days of founding numerous industry groups and forums such as the South Australian Internet Association, South Australian Internet Exchange, Australian Domain Name Authority, and more. Steve now runs TEN13, an investment syndicate platform for sophisticated investors to invest alongside him and the experienced Transition Level Investments team, as unlike many venture capitalists, Steve puts his own cash on the dash to the tune of an average of 15% to 20% of every seed deal. TEN13 understands that to get great returns you need to invest in global companies, so they've built a global portfolio across five continents with a value of over $2 billion in its first 18 months. So If you're a sophisticated investor looking to diversify your portfolio and invest in top calibre technology companies, reach out to Steve and his high calibre TEN13 investment team who undertake exhaustive due diligence before they invest.

I met Vanessa from Celle Skin on the first episode of series one of Shark Tank Australia – her journey is exciting and this episode we have a discussion on personal strategy for growth. What does a founder need to do to have a successful business? When do you stop doing everything yourself and get ‘experts’ to help? Scaling a business using outsourcing, not just employees can deliver material scale. How does an entrepreneur get out of their own way to stop doing everything and get others to bring different skills? Celle Skin is creating a new market for wearable beauty in response to customer trends, how do you track trends? How can an entrepreneur be supported in these difficult times? Mental health for business owners is critically important and we discuss where an how to be supported, as well as the importance of positive language. And why I have a personal theme each year.

There's no shortage of Business Plan templates available online, many of them free. They range from very basic to extremely complex.

Straight from Shark Tank Australia to the stage with the Wolf of Wall Street – Ryan Tuckwood (Co-founder of ISR Training) and I discuss quite an underrated topic – ethical communication. More accurately, how to design your ethical communication. In this episode, Ryan humbly shares his story of evolving from a systematic thinking engineer to developing a debilitating fear for sales and ultimately becoming the one of the most sought after sales trainers in Australia using the SWISH (Sell With Integrity Sell With Honesty) approach. This episode uncovers details on how ethical communication is designed through integrity, authenticity, honesty, and a good morality. Ryan then goes on to explain how this type of communication is vital for any industry within the 21st century. Not to mention how these skills can be nurtured, learned, and developed, as he did himself. Alongside some incredible advice applicable to professionals and students in any industry.

In this episode you'll hear from Jennifer Holland, Founder and CEO of Throat Scope.   Jennifer's passion lies in inventing, designing and developing medical products that will revolutionise the healthcare industry. Her first invention was Throat Scope, which has had outstanding success across the globe and began as the foundation of Holland Healthcare. Throat Scope was the recipient of ‘What's Your Big Idea Queensland?' in 2011, which included a $50,000 prize money from the Queensland government. This allowed Jennifer to develop and patent Throat Scope and have several working prototypes made. In 2015, Jennifer and Throat Scope were featured on Shark Tank Australia. Jennifer secured investment from Steve Baxter and this exposure propelled the business. In October 2015, Throat Scope was launched into the Australian retail and healthcare markets. Throat Scope broke a retail record with a company, which saw the product signed in seven days. Jennifer has since negotiated several lucrative distribution deals with both domestic and international companies. Jennifer has been awarded several awards for her hard work and determination which include, gold product innovation winner at the Ausmumprenuer Awards 2017, Best Presenter Award at the New York Venture Summit 2017, Edison Award Winner 2017, Lake Macquarie Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2016, Sydney Design Award Winner 2015 and QLD ‘What's the big idea' Winner of $50,000. Jennifer also actively participates in speaking and networking events internationally. Key Points: Jennifer outlines her incredible story of the invention of Throat Scope and the struggle to get it funded and into the market. Her mantra – Believe, Act, Persist has been at the core of her undying enthusiasm to make a difference. And her advice for the next generation of leaders is Don't Settle, get out there with enthusiasm and persistence and try a different way if the first way doesn't work. Jennifer's top messages include: Prepare meticulously for big opportunities - I watched 108 episodes of Shark Tank US to prepare for it. When going for a big role you have to show your passion, purpose, excitement for wanting to be apart of their business Enthusiasm is everything When hiring someone for my team experience isn't all that necessary. It's the passion and seeing someone who is persistent. And that wins every time over education and experience in an industry It took a long time to find the right mentors and advisors My business mantra is believe, act, persist Whatever I do I know there is another way to do it. So if one doesn't work I'll walk through another door. Free yourself of the worries that aren't real - In life you always regret the things you don't do If you're open to finding opportunities they will come Opportunities are everywhere its just a matter of whether you're open to finding them Having mentors or advisors that give you confidence will give you more passion, excitement When people say to me, “no, you can't do that”, for me that is the biggest driver. I love the saying ‘Today's no is tomorrow's yes….You tell me no, and I'll turn it into a yes Don't settle Web: www.throatscope.com

Adrian is the co-founder and CEO of Pitchblak, a company that helps business founders prove their ideas, get funding and launch companies that disrupt things. And yes, it has proven chops. Glen Richards, of Shark Tank Australia and Green Cross fame, reckons it's the best model for getting new ideas off the ground that he's seen. And that's big kudos. But what does any of this have to do with your Unfound Fears? Well, quite a bit. In episodes 1 and 2 we talked about what happens chemically to your body when you feel fear, and on a macro level, why the fears you feel about doing certain things are almost always worth it in the end. But in Adrian's work, he sees people experience tens, maybe hundreds of fear micro-moments a day. And that, he says, is a good thing. The right thing. Because what better way to overcome fears than in a bunch of small steps, rather than a massive leap. So in Adrian's experience, little victories and non-biased results are the things that help push your fears aside when you're starting a business. And like the theme from the rather excellent 80s sitcom Step by Step suggests, it's done in increments, not giant leaps. Some could say the giant leap is starting the business in the first place. But the thing I like most about Adrian's approach is this: it's the non-biased results that create your little victories, not hype. That first order, that first investment in marketing, turning a customer complaint into a positive, launching your website, buying your domain, even hiring a virtual assistant - they're all little steps that get fear off your back bit by bit. And, as Erin Hegarty said in episode 1, exposure is the best way to defeat the things that stress you out or produce anxiety. Doing them again and again in small steps makes them automatic.

In this episode you'll hear from Jennifer Holland, Founder and CEO of Throat Scope.   Jennifer's passion lies in inventing, designing and developing medical products that will revolutionise the healthcare industry. Her first invention was Throat Scope, which has had outstanding success across the globe and began as the foundation of Holland Healthcare. Throat Scope was the recipient of ‘What's Your Big Idea Queensland?' in 2011, which included a $50,000 prize money from the Queensland government. This allowed Jennifer to develop and patent Throat Scope and have several working prototypes made. In 2015, Jennifer and Throat Scope were featured on Shark Tank Australia. Jennifer secured investment from Steve Baxter and this exposure propelled the business. In October 2015, Throat Scope was launched into the Australian retail and healthcare markets. Throat Scope broke a retail record with a company, which saw the product signed in seven days. Jennifer has since negotiated several lucrative distribution deals with both domestic and international companies. Jennifer has been awarded several awards for her hard work and determination which include, gold product innovation winner at the Ausmumprenuer Awards 2017, Best Presenter Award at the New York Venture Summit 2017, Edison Award Winner 2017, Lake Macquarie Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2016, Sydney Design Award Winner 2015 and QLD ‘What's the big idea' Winner of $50,000. Jennifer also actively participates in speaking and networking events internationally. Key Points: Jennifer outlines her incredible story of the invention of Throat Scope and the struggle to get it funded and into the market. Her mantra – Believe, Act, Persist has been at the core of her undying enthusiasm to make a difference. And her advice for the next generation of leaders is Don't Settle, get out there with enthusiasm and persistence and try a different way if the first way doesn't work. Jennifer's top messages include: Prepare meticulously for big opportunities - I watched 108 episodes of Shark Tank US to prepare for it. When going for a big role you have to show your passion, purpose, excitement for wanting to be apart of their business Enthusiasm is everything When hiring someone for my team experience isn't all that necessary. It's the passion and seeing someone who is persistent. And that wins every time over education and experience in an industry It took a long time to find the right mentors and advisors My business mantra is believe, act, persist Whatever I do I know there is another way to do it. So if one doesn't work I'll walk through another door. Free yourself of the worries that aren't real - In life you always regret the things you don't do If you're open to finding opportunities they will come Opportunities are everywhere its just a matter of whether you're open to finding them Having mentors or advisors that give you confidence will give you more passion, excitement When people say to me, “no, you can't do that”, for me that is the biggest driver. I love the saying ‘Today's no is tomorrow's yes….You tell me no, and I'll turn it into a yes Don't settle Web: www.throatscope.com Listen on iTunes here: https://itun.es/au/87Pqkb.c Listen on Android: http://tunein.com/radio/The-Inner-Chief-p1004701/ http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=141429

Yikes! I have a new TV show pitch to present to Australian TV producers next month. My Shark Tank audition was a sobering lesson on pitching! In this episode I reflect on the blog post I wrote after that audition in 2015. Read 10 Things I Learnt from My Shark Tank Australia Audition. (Post published on 22 Feb 2016) Wish me luck! *  Marc Berryman is the friendly guy I met at the Shark Tank Australia audition and Rhinohide https://rhinohide.com.au/ is the idea he pitched. Two sharks invested $80 000 each, a total of $160 000, not $800 000 as I say in the episode. Oops – thank goodness I’m not Marc’s accountant!

This episode features Dr Glen Richards. Glen is an investor on Shark Tank Australia, Non-Executive Director of Greencross Ltd and Non-Executive Director of 1300 Smiles. In this episode we cover politics and Glen's view on the current political climate, what it took to push through particularly hard financial times in the early days, how he survived as CEO in a company where his CFO wanted him fired, his work as an investor, avoiding entrepreneurial seizures and how he got on Shark Tank Australia. Glen was one of the most humble people I have met and it was truly an enjoyable conversation. He is particularly candid on how he 'pushed' through some very difficult times in his career. A fascinating man, I hope you enjoy this discussion. My Favourite Quotes from the episode are: "The epiphany I had as CEO was that I didn't have to know everything and that caused almost an overnight change" "Performance equals freedom" "You have to have some self doubt so you ask yourself some questions which helps to derisk your business as you go forward"

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister, PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: The topic of this episode is another in a series of interviews I’m doing focused on the four skills that enable a 25% higher income for product managers and increasing their influence. The 4 skills were discussed back in episode 073 and include: Pitch artist – the ability to present and sell your ideas and conclusions.Exec debater — being the president of the product and standing up for what is needed and challenging executive teams.Inspire others — great products are built by great teams but these aren’t necessarily teams that product managers personally manage. Instead, product managers need to inspire them and share the vision of the product.Truth to power – being good at raising inconvenient truths and not running away from an unpopular message. This interview focuses on being a pitch artist and my guest, Chris Westfall, is a world-class pitch artist – having won the US National Elevator Pitch Championship. He’s coached clients onto Shark Tank, Shark Tank Australia and Dragon’s Den, and successfully re-branded products and services around the globe. His message is simple: use authentic persuasion that’s not pushy, “sales-y” or fake. In this interview, you’ll learn about: when pitches are important,why product managers must be good pitch artists, andhow to give a good pitch.

This episode features Steve Baxter. Steve is an investor on Shark Tank Australia, founder of River City Labs and CEO of Transition Level Investments. In this episode we cover Steve's early life, his time in the army, what it is like to exit a company, the NBN, working for Google and of course, Shark Tank Australia. It is always a privilege to talk to someone as knowledgeable as Steve. I hope you enjoy this episode. I had a great time recording it.

Janine Allis is an entrepreneur that needs little introduction.  During a trip to the US in 1999, Janine noticed the juice and smoothie category was booming. And yet there was hardly a juice bar to be found in Australia. Janine returned to Australia and founded Boost which is now operating in 17 countries - more than any other juice bar in the world. 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.

Steve Baxter is a cool guy I met because of podcasting!  We met sometime around 2004 or 2005 at a pool party in Phoenix AZ, because we both listened to the same podcast.  Flash forward to 2014 I finally figured out that Steve was a pretty big deal...He sold companies in Australia for millions of dollars.  He also appeared on Shark Tank Australia.
