Have you ever considered adding ghostwriting of business memoirs to your suite of services? In today's episode, we explore the riveting tale behind the meteoric rise of Swisse Wellness, as recounted in the new book, "How to Build a Billion-Dollar Business" by Radek Sali, the visionary entrepreneur and former Swisse CEO. I happened to be his co-author on this project so I thought it'd be interesting to have a chat with Radek about the ghost-writing process and to share some hints and tips on how you too can add ghostwriting to your suite of services. The book details how Radek and his team turned a company that had $15 million in revenue and 30 employees, into a colossal $2.1 billion empire with over 1000 employees.

If you ever thought about the daily use of makeup wipes and their impact on the environment then get ready … each wipe takes 100 years to dissolve in landfill!That alone is enough to inspire groundbreaking science based wellness guru Natassia who founded Conserving Beauty, Australia's first water-responsible beauty brand, in 2021. Inspired by her belief that waterless formulas could offer more – both for us and the planet – Natassia set out to create a range of pure, potent beauty products that were completely free from water, to boost efficacy, protect our planet and positively impact the community. Without water, the gentle ingredients chosen for Conserving Beauty's powerful formulas aren't diluted, which means they can be delivered directly to the skin – so our precious natural resources are never wasted, and your results are never watered down.With a background in science and a passion for social justice, Conserving Beauty allowed Natassia to merge her long-term love for beauty products with her unique commercial experience. After completing a Bachelor of Science, Natassia went on to work with some of Australia's leading beauty and wellness companies, including Swisse Wellness, Elle Macpherson's WelleCo, and private equity fund The Foundry. During this time, Natassia strengthened her biochemistry foundation with diverse commercial experience across product development, sustainable sourcing, supply chain, operations, sales, and marketing. Coupled with her understanding of environmental, social and government (ESG) principles, Natassia started Conserving Beauty to redefine what it means to be a conscious beauty brand.Natassia's journey highlighted the importance of uniting the beauty industry with ESG principles to help conserve water, which she believes is essential for all beauty to exist.Conserving Beauty launched with MECCA in May of this year, making it the first Australian beauty start-up to do so. We are also launching into the UK this week with Cult Beauty and expanding to more retailers in Q1 next year.Deborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3TQjCspxcrSi4yw2YugxBkBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1365850Deborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: ...Deborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: ...
The study of neuroscience and in particular how the brain builds trust has become a focus point for leaders and companies that are looking to engage in a more meaningful way with their staff, society and key stakeholders. Of course, for businesses, building trust can be a lengthy and detailed process which happens over time, while conversely the loss of trust can happen very quickly with long lasting impacts. There's no doubt that over the past couple of years the pandemic has really tested the notion of trust that consumers have in businesses. In this episode we look at organisational trust and neuroscience. Join host Whitney Fitzsimmons as she speaks to TEDx Speaker Dr Sarah McKay, Professor Nicole Gillespie, Chair of KPMG Organisational Trust and Nick Mann, CEO of Swisse Wellness.

Episode 31 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Radek Sali. It takes sheer guts and determination to succeed on a grand scale and there is usually some point where the person puts everything they have on the line. This week’s guest is no exception and fortunately for him, the gamble paid off. Radek Sali - started out working the candy bar in his local suburban Village cinema and worked his way up to Operations Manager of Village Roadshow. Radek joined the Swisse Wellness group as Operations Manager in 2005, a couple years later he’d become CEO, he steered the company from it’s annual turnover of $14 million to it’s sale 10 years on - for 1.7 Billion dollars. Incredibly, just nine months before that deal went ahead, the shareholders of Swisse nearly accepted an offer of just $30 million, which would have left Radek bankrupt due to $15 million in personal debt. I directed many TV commercials for Swisse leading up to the sale of the company - in particular their campaign for the Rio Olympics. The staff culture was something to behold at Swisse and played a huge role in the success of brand, and this was clearly driven by their inspirational leader. Radek’s latest role is Chairman of Light Warrior - an investment organisation with a mission to help fund and support an array of other businesses and entrepreneurs, particularly those with a positive societal impact.https://lightwarrior.com/ W: https://theblankcanvaspodcast.com.au/ W: https://leerogers.com.au/ SOCIALS Insta: @theblankcanvaspodcast FB - The Blank Canvas Podcast Twitter: @blankcanvaspod THE BLANK CANVAS TEAM Produced by Lee Rogers & Rien MacDonald.

It's been a little while since our last INTRApreneurial guest, but I'm delighted to have one of the best with us today - Jasmine Smith, Director of People and Culture from Swisse Wellness. You know I love a good non-linear way to yay, so I found Jasmine's story captivating from her nomadic and adventurous childhood to make up artistry, then a late entry to tertiary studies in behavioural science after her first child, a successful career in retail and sales and only after seven years at each of Mecca and T2, an eventual pivot into HR where she is working wellness wonders for the workforce at Swisse. She represents everything I love to share about life unravelling in chapters, the importance of self awareness and the shapeshifting nature of what your yay looks like over time. I think HR or, as it is known at Swisse, People and Culture, is another one of those areas of work that can absolutely make or break a business but that many of us barely understand and take for granted. You'll hear that Jasmine herself didn't know it was even a job she could do until years later, and those are the areas I LOVE to delve into - I learnt so much from this chat! I was reminded all about the many tools Swisse and other businesses use to help identify employees' strengths, weaknesses and passions - I tend to forget you don't have to learn everything on the fly, so if you're wondering how to figure out what your yay is, Jasmine shares a HEAP of useful hacks along with so much other wisdom about igniting human potential! Hope you enjoy as much as I did! + Follow Swisse Wellness here + Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah + Join our Facebook community here + Subscribe to not miss out on the next instalment of YAY!
