Episode SummaryMatt Browne is the Co-founder and Managing Partner of Black Nova Venture Partners, one of Australia's most active early-stage funds. Before becoming an investor, Matt founded multiple companies, including enterprise software firm Dunsafe, which sold to global corporates like Suncorp and Brickworks, and learned firsthand what it takes to turn “boring” B2B SaaS into beautiful business.In this episode, Cheryl and Maxine sit down with Matt to unpack what “boring but mission-critical” really means, why operators often make the best early-stage investors, and what it's actually like to co-found a venture fund. Matt shares his frameworks for identifying resilient software businesses, the economics behind long-LTV enterprise customers, and how his founder experience shapes the way Black Nova supports startups today.They also dig into the differences between SMB and enterprise sales, why going from enterprise → small business is nearly impossible, and what it takes to build a fund that's more startup than finance firm. And, in true Matt style, he caps it off with his Big Cojones moment, jumping off Auckland's Sky Tower to win a customer.Sponsors:First Cheque is supported by our wonderful sponsors:Aussie Angels makes it easy for accredited investors to back early-stage startups alongside experienced syndicate leads.

Wall St closed higher across the key indices on Friday as investor hopes of easing trading tensions between the U.S. and China rose a day after credit concerns sparked a sharp selloff for U.S. regional banks.

This boosted local miners further into the green with Newmont (ASX:NEM) adding 3.32% while Northern Star (ASX:NST) gained 2.75% and Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN) ended the day up almost 2%.EROAD (ASX:ERD) tumbled over 33% on Friday after the company announced a restructure of plans to focus more on the ANZ market and step back from its North American expansion plans.Lynas (ASX:LYC) shares fell 5.7% on Friday amid increased investor concerns that easing tensions between China and the US over rare earth export controls could lead to a deal, potentially lowering rare earth prices and pressuring suppliers like Lynas.

FY25 revenues have been exceptionally poor capped off by the 3Q25 decline.And Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Suncorp Group (ASX:SUN) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 15-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $19.56 to the range of $18.50 to $18.80 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

"85% of AI use cases are being evaluated by the engineer who built it saying, 'yep, seemed to work pretty well.' If you're gonna build a system that's going to be critical to the business, that's going to be important that it gets it right, then you can't do that without evaluations." - Craig Wiley Fresh out of the studio, Craig Wiley, Senior Director of Product Management at Databricks who leads Mosaic AI, joins us to discuss the forefront of enterprise AI from model development to deployment at scale. Beginning with his career journey in ML operations, Craig explained how he recognized the critical connection between data and AI layers that could deliver order-of-magnitude acceleration in development cycles. Emphasizing the transition from classical ML operations to LLM operations, he showcased how Databricks' unified platform eliminates training-serving skew through data lineage capabilities and supports both fine-tuning and RAG approaches depending on industrial use case requirements. Highlighting compelling customer success stories including Suncorp's employee productivity platform and AstraZeneca's transformation of 400,000 clinical trial documents into queryable insights, Craig revealed a striking reality about enterprise AI evaluation - that 85% of AI use cases are being evaluated only by the engineers who built them, reinforcing that proper evaluation frameworks remain foundational for trustworthy AI implementation. He concluded by introducing Agent Bricks as Databricks' evaluation-centric approach to building production agents, emphasizing that model flexibility and rigorous testing are essential for enterprises moving from experimentation to production, while sharing his vision that the industry must evolve from the "year of agents" to the "year of evaluation and quality."

"There is enormous risk when you try to metricise the value of a human life." - Audette Exel AOAudette Exel, Chair and Founder of Adara Group and former Director of Westpac and Suncorp, discusses how boards can transform social impact reporting from a compliance exercise into a strategic governance tool.She explores why the "S" in ESG lags behind environmental reporting, the dangers of reducing human services delivery to mere metrics, and how to balance data-driven measurement with meaningful storytelling. Audette explains why directors must get out of oak-panelled boardrooms to witness their organisation's impact firsthand, and how to create substantive reporting that moves beyond compliance requirements.________________Follow Podcast Host Richard Conway on LinkedInFollow boardcycle on LinkedInVisit the boardcycle website

What was supposed to be a night of celebration, well after the full-time siren, it was anything but after the Storm game up 40 unanswered points in the second half, leaving a subdued and somber dressing room and an embarrassed veteran coach to accept plaudits and presentation of the game ball by NRL CEO Andrew Abdo to which Bellyache addressed the crowd in true Bellyache fashion saying "Really appreciate everyone coming out today and I hope we go f***ing better next week".

Cannes was heaving with influencers striking deals, but the message from top marketers, academics and consulting firms was consistent: Go back to fundamentals on brand, embed brand at the heart of business, then execute with consistent creative excellence to drive outsized financial returns.Mark Ritson landed that message most emphatically via 10 years worth of Effie data analysed by System1. In short: Do really good work, put enough money behind it, don’t change it; grow more.CEOs like Gap Inc’s Richard Dickson are codifying brand to drive business decision-making – and it’s working. Other business leaders remain unconvinced. Hence EY Parthenon’s Karen Crum putting brand and creative investment on the corporate risk register, just like plant, equipment and supply chains. She’s mapped 20 years worth of Fortune 500 filings that show brands looking beyond negative brand risk and investing to maintain brand relevance and value are “more profitable and stayed in the Fortune 500 longer”. Crum’s new paper unpacks how marketers can help articulate that risk in language that will land with the C-suite.Tassal Chief Commercial Officer Matt Vince – also the firm’s Chief Risk Officer –said it maintains corporate risk registers for both brand and marketing after 20-years as an ASX-listed business prior to acquisition by Canada’s Cooke Inc. Crum’s paper, he says, resonates deeply, while Tassal’s rigour in building brand –doubling marketing ROI on a flat budget – has seen Cooke’s global CEO fly into town: “The opportunity for us is to start leading [marketing] from a global perspective.” Next, he’s mulling how to embed a creative measurement system, as cited at Cannes by the likes of Nestlé as key to enabling creative growth gains and Grand Prix wins. But Vince is also thinking about influencers after meeting Seal at a TikTok event – and says TikTok “has some amazing things coming in their pipeline”.Amid divergence on whether marketing’s fundamentals still apply within a platform-dominated world, Suncorp’s Mim Haysom backed the call to return to basics on distinctive assets – because they resonate in all channels. “We can get obsessed about single channels. But nobody builds brand and marketing plans like that. You look at the whole ecosystem of your brand.”But Haysom acknowledged influencers are having a “profound impact” within that ecosystem. “If brands are thinking that it's a flash in the pan they're greatly mistaken.” Which means working through another set of risk management: relinquishing full control of content.Here’s their take-outs and take-homes from Cannes 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kick things off with some wild hotel horror stories — from drunken check-ins to crumbed sausage revenge (you had to be there). In the Glossy’s, Victoria Beckham let Harper give David a full glam makeover, Selena’s marble table caused a sniffy stir, Nicki Minaj had no time for closet speculation, and RAYE celebrated a billion streams with a mouthful of Weet-Bix straight from her Spotify plaque. We dive deep into the controversial Enhanced Games — think Olympics on steroids (literally) — and debate whether it’s genius or just bonkers. And with State of Origin Game 1 kicking off tonight at Suncorp, we revisit old footage of Margot Robbie repping the Maroons like a true Queenslander.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In episode 821 of the QAV Podcast, Cameron and Tony kick things off with tales of gas outages and cold showers before diving into the markets. They review the portfolio performance, explain the HLS sell-off, and unpack the latest antics of Donald Trump's tariff diplomacy. Stocks under the spotlight include VVA (Viva Leisure) with their eyebrow-raising stake in Gorilla X Labs, NRW's legal wrangle over the Whyalla port, and a deep-dive pulled pork on ANZ. The ANZ segment touches everything from executive turnover, the bloated One Platform app, substance abuse allegations, and the Suncorp acquisition, to Cameron's prediction that the whole thing will be scrapped in favour of an AI-driven rebuild. Sprinkle in some talk about robot security Roombas, the legacy of Damien Broderick, Sparks' new album, and Japanese punk, and you've got another vintage QAV session.

In this episode of QAV Australia, Cam and Tony navigate a turbulent market buoyed by a temporary rollback in US-China tariffs and a curious rally in Bitcoin. They break down the movements in gold stocks like Perseus (PRU), Ramelius (RMS), and West African Resources (WAF), unpack ANZ's (ANZ) CEO handover and the impact of its Suncorp acquisition, and look into Super Retail Group's (SUL) Q3 results. The episode also features deep dives into the governance concerns at Macquarie (MQG), a bizarrely massive dividend from Healius (HLS), a skeptical look at luxury drop shipper Cettire (CTT), and a pulled pork segment on outdoor advertising player oOh!media (OML). Cam also shares a personal health win, and the duo wraps up with some recommendations, banter, and a little Van Halen nostalgia.

David Worldon is the Founder of Accelerated Innovation, a boutique management consultancy specialising in insurance innovation. Last year they  saved  Australia's largest insurers half a million dollars in fees and shaved a full year off their growth timelines. David has recently published the 2025 General Insurance Innovation Report, assessing and ranking how Australia's largest insurers are innovating to address key industry challenges such as climate change, underinsurance, and rising premiums. His goal is to save leaders $20m in fees and 40 years of waiting to get shit done. David is also the host of Accelerated Innovation's Innovation Insider podcast, which is available at https://acceleratedinnovation.com.au/innovation-insider/ Episode SummaryThe video features a discussion centered around the Australian insurance market, highlighting its unique dynamics, challenges, and opportunities for innovation. Here are the key points: Market Dynamics: The Australian insurance market is characterized by a high level of concentration, with a significant portion of the market share held by a few major players. This concentration influences competition and innovation within the industry. Regulatory Environment: The industry is highly regulated, with recent interventions aimed at addressing systemic issues, particularly following a Royal Commission that scrutinized the sector for malpractice. This has led to a culture of risk aversion among insurers. Innovation Focus: There is a growing emphasis on innovation, particularly in risk mitigation and preparing for natural disasters. Insurers are shifting their strategies to not only rebuild after disasters but to enhance infrastructure and resilience for future events. Collaboration and Growth: Insurers are beginning to collaborate more effectively with each other and with government entities to address challenges such as underinsurance and protection gaps. This collaborative approach is seen as a pathway to strengthening the market. Future Outlook: The discussion suggests a positive outlook for the next five to ten years, with expectations of increased appetite for risk and innovation. The market is viewed as ripe for new entrants, particularly global digital players, which could disrupt traditional distribution models. Personal vs. Commercial Lines: Innovation is more pronounced in personal lines of insurance, particularly through direct sales channels. The commercial lines are slower to innovate, focusing primarily on enhancing broker experiences.

We all find the cost of insurance too high, but have you ever thought to actually fight against big hikes to your premium? A growing number of Australians are trying just that, with limited success. Today, national consumer affairs reporter, Michael Atkin, on why insurance costs continue to surge and how Australians are trying to force the insurance giants to justify the hikes.  Michael Atkin explains that insurance premiums have jumped 11% in the past year, following even higher increases in previous years. He shares stories from frustrated home owners like Mark Stacey and Warren Vant, who have seen their premiums skyrocket. The industry justifies these hikes, citing increased severe weather and inflation. Michael Atkin says while some consumers have had success challenging their insurers through the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, many others have not been as fortunate.Featured: Michael Atkin, national consumer affairs reporterKey Topics:Insurance premium hikesAustralian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA)Natural disasters and insuranceInflation and building costs
