How do you disrupt a heritage industry with no retail experience, no paid ads, and zero brand awareness? Just ask Annabelle and Thomas Burns.These siblings are the founders of Femmé Organic, a brand that went from selling just seven products on launch day (mostly to family) to being stocked in every Priceline across Australia. With no retail background and no marketing budget, they relied on LinkedIn, sibling chaos, and a viral TikTok to break into a billion-dollar personal care market dominated by giants.In this episode, they share the story of how a pre-meeting shot helped land their first retail deal, what happened when Woolworths dropped them, and how they recovered from printing 20,000 units with the wrong label. From walking the CBD in a tampon suit for content to building a brand entirely without paid ads or agencies, their journey is as chaotic as it is inspiring.If you're ready to hear how unpolished hustle and sibling teamwork can rewrite the rules, this episode is for you.Connect with us:Follow The Lazy CEO podcast on Instagram: @thelazyceo_podcastStay up to with Jane: @thelazyceoConnect with Anabelle & Thomas: @anabelleburns & @thomasburns__Check out Femmé Organic: @femmeorganic_ Hosted on Acast.

Women are too often penalised, and prevented opportunities to progress to leadership, because their boss might lead (and deliver results) in a different way to them; this is bias. In today's episode I am talking about the penalty, that women often unknowingly experience because of how their leadership style is evaluated. I am exploring:What leadership evaluation bias isHow women can be judged on HOW they deliver rather than on the result itselfThe different approach a lot of women take when it comes to data mining and decision making and how that might differ from their male stakeholdersWhat you can do if you feel like your leadership is being unfairly judgedAnd how to challenge your own leadership evaluation bias if you feel it could be holding talented women in your team backSomething Rebecca said today:"What IS performance? Is it how you deliver an outcome, or the outcome itself? Women tend to lead differently and you don't want to be penalised simply because you don't deliver results in the same way your boss might."  (Rebecca Allen, host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)Links:Book a free 15-minute Career Strategy Call with Rebecca to discuss your careerListen to a related episode: The Bias Barrier: A Systemic Barrier to Women's ProgressionVisit the Illuminate website to learn more about executive coaching for womenConnect with Rebecca Allen on LinkedinRate, Review, & Follow our Show on Apple Podcasts:Also, if you haven't done so already, follow the podcast.

The value of the global trade of goods today is approximately 30 trillion US dollars. That's 83 billion dollars per day of goods being transported all over the world across land, air, and sea. But trade is nothing new. In ancient times, trade began as a barter system in which people exchanged one object for another. People traded animal skins or services for food, weapons, clothing, and spices. Some primitive societies even used shells or pearls as currency, but during the 18th century, coins and money currencies became more prominent. Trade has boomed over the last two centuries to the point where we are all involved in it every day of our lives. Most of us regularly trade in the local supermarket, where we can find almost anything we need in one place rather than having to visit multiple stores. It's made shopping so much more convenient. These self-service super shops offer a wide variety of food, beverages, and household products under one roof. They offer a huge range of brands and product types. In fact, on average, there are around 40K items in the store. The main supermarkets in Australia are Woolworths, Coles, IGA, and Aldi.But have you ever wondered how they began? So, how did one of Australia's largest supermarket chains begin? Well, Gary Kent, as we follow in the footsteps of Sir George James Coles, a businessman and philanthropist, who changed how we shop, do business, and live. His story will amaze and inspire you.

What do you get when you mix creativity, hustle, and a bit of chaos? A viral product brand that lands on Nordstrom's shelves—twice. In this episode, I sit down with Alisha Athreya, the powerhouse founder behind KURVWEAR. and Don't Eat My Candle, two product-based businesses that have achieved what most brand owners dream of: retail placement in stores like Nordstrom, Woolworths, Priceline, and The Iconic. But here's the kicker—Alisha did it all without outside funding, without a PR agency, and while still in university. From learning to sew on her mom's broken machine, to sending a single shoe in a box to a Nordstrom buyer, this episode is a masterclass in resourcefulness, resilience, and relationship-building. If you've ever wondered what it really takes to get into big box stores—or if you just need a reminder that bold moves build big brands—this episode is for you. Sal

Career Sponsorship has become critical to women's advancement to leadership. Today, we are discussing the behaviours and actions the most exceptional Sponsors are taking to ensure more talented women are promoted to leadership.Systemic bias means that men are exposed to opportunities in their careers more readily than their female peers are. Career Sponsors are needed to address that imbalance. Sponsors are influential leaders within an organisation, who believe in the moral and commercial importance of inclusion, equity and diversity of thought. They are proactive advocates of the talented women they sponsor.In this episode I am taking you through 3 of the most effective ways a Career Sponsor can help support, and fast track women through the pipeline - they are necessary catalysts to create change faster.Something Rebecca said today:"A career sponsor actively seeks out opportunities for their sponsee. Sponsors are the trailblazers of 2025, taking personal responsibility to be part of the equity solution."  (Rebecca Allen, host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)Links:Book a call with RebeccaHead to the Illuminate websiteConnect with Rebecca on LinkedinListen to a related ep on mentoring: Learn My Bullet-Mentoring Method & Build Your Expertise Fast (ep 169)And another ep: The Bias Barrier (Part 2 of 3: 3 Major Systemic Barriers to Women's Progression ep 176)Rate, Review, & Follow our Show on Apple Podcasts:Also, if you haven't done so already, follow the podcast.

Series two has begun! The first proper Christmas special and the beginning of the David Tennant years. Warning: This episode features Mark ranting about working at Woolworths. Apologies to anyone who worked there.

Justin Fris and Jack McGinn discuss Rio Tinto's $3.1bn Western Range iron ore mine and a commodity pricing agency's bold change to its reporting metrics. Plus: State govt buys Frasers Suites for $105m; Mineral Resources opens Onslow Iron's glitzy Pilbara FIFO camp; Woolworths to build $28m supermarket in East Victoria Park.

The Government's issued a fresh warning to the major supermarket chains. Economic Growth Minister Nicola Willis has written a letter to Woolworths, and Foodstuffs' North Island and South Island arms, outlining her expectations. She says she's hearing of supermarkets charging more than the advertised price, and having specials and multi-buy deals that don't actually offer savings. Willis told Mike Hosking that's not good enough. She says supermarkets have publicly said again and again that they do everything they can to be good providers of service, but this doesn't look like that.

Do you have a tendency to say YES - or saying nothing at all - when really, you want to say NO? Today I am exploring 6 different scenarios where you might need to say 'No!' more often in your career!I am sharing some powerful reframes so that you can say 'no', without having to say 'no' at all!We are talking too about how saying 'no' can result in huge benefits to you, as well as greater ROI for your organisation! Pushing back, and saying 'no', has never been easier! I'll see you inside!Something I said today:"Saying 'No' can be presented in lots of different ways to make it more palatable. For example, you can say, "Look, I don't agree with this" or 'I think we need to take a step back and discuss this more" or "I feel like this is the wrong decision to take, can we look at this again? Working on reframes like this can make it extremely easy to push back and say 'no'."

So productively in sync and inseparable are Serong and Jackson, they're starting to morph into one Calukeb Jacksong entity! Time to Restump Podcast the dispatching of the Dons. A combined 56 possessions, 48 hitouts, 17 clearances, 18 score involvements, over 1,000 metres gained and 5 goals neat from Serong and Jackson! Coles and Woolworths are screaming, “What about that duopoly!” Let's just get all the prefacing out of the way early. Yes, it was Essendon, yes, we were expected to win comfortably, yes, they're battling and yes, Vigo Visantini was their sole ruck on debut. With that been said and now subconsciously considered, Thursday was a job satisfactorily and entertainingly done. Despite the first quarter midfield dominance of the Dons, the result really was never in doubt. Was it perfect? Absolutely not. Are we better than that display? Maybe in patches and on occasions, but taking into account the last 5 weeks of form, we're probably a 4th to 9th type of team at the moment. Did our rare as hens teeth accurate kicking make us appear more overall dominant than we truly were? The second and third quarters we piled on 10 goals 1 to the Bomber's 4 goals 6. On paper, at least, they're the same opportunities.Anyway, focusing on the underlying possible realities isn't necessarily fun, so let's talk about Luke Jackson instead. Remember back to those days when there were those who were angry at the club for spending up on what Jackson cost us, suggesting he was overrated? Those crazy dazey times! His ruckwork was one thing, but his fourth midfielder traits somehow astonishingly continue to increase. And not enough fuss has been made about his 3 goals! They weren't gimmes or marks in the goal square, they were from long range and or under pressure on the run.And the other member of Calukeb Jacksong, did he have a day out or what? When Caleb Serong, not exactly known for his accuracy, hit that goal from the boundary… it was put the glasses down, this game is done.  Elsewhere, Corey Wagner's stock continues to rise after another super polished performance, clamping down on Zac Merret. He attended a career high 17 of the 29 centre bounces.Jordie Clark must be an All-Australian lock and Luke Ryan was back to his mopping up everything best. On top of kicking goals and clunking grabs, Josh Treacy hunts opponents down. He literally corals, confuses and catches them. Shai Bolton has simply made us a much better team and Freddy could have had a big day out.Where are we all on Nat Fyfe? It is just his first true game back, but he attended just 5 centre bounces and had little to no impact up forward. Jojo stands by his hard call but the Chief is keeping the faith and extending the hand of opportunity. There is something about September that tells me we'll be thankful for a Fyfe!The Darcy conversation will only escalate. Have we done the right by him, throwing him to the Max Gawn and Toby Nankervis type wolves and then resting him against a debutant? Is there more to the resting story than we're being told? We kneed to know!We ticked the box that needed ticking, we made another 4-point deposit in the September action bank and we got some entertainment along the way. Let's rinse and repeat!The game does seem like it was long ago, but it was too entertaining not to dig conversationally deeper. So, bring your language luggage, grab your purple talking twigs and join us in the conversing corner as we all bang on about the banishment of the Bombers.Send us a textSupport the show

In this nostalgic and meandering episode of Spellbreakers, host Matt Trump reflects on the cultural decay and changing landscape of America. From the vanishing charm of classic diners and barbershops to the insidification of fast-food kiosks and real estate overdevelopment in Flagstaff and Boulder, Matt muses on the loss of authenticity in modern life. He shares personal stories from Arizona to Iowa to Austin and beyond, weaving in thoughts on forest access, the right to roam, nuclear fears, and globalist agendas. Aided by chat interaction and map visuals, the episode becomes a time capsule of longing for simpler times and a freer, more grounded America, topped off with commentary on Demolition Man, dollar stores, and a love letter to Woolworths.

Step into the squeaky blue plastic chairs of yesteryear as this episode of our 90s nostalgia podcast takes you back to the glorious chaos of British school life in the 1990s. From answering the register too early (a social death sentence) to the unspoken rules of the pencil case hierarchy, we're diving into the details that made school in the 90s an unforgettable blend of awkward, hilarious, and occasionally traumatic moments. We reminisce about the horror of forgetting your PE kit, the misery of lost property boxes that smelled like regret, and the quiet panic of mufti day wardrobe decisions. Whether you were the kid with a Woolworths multi-compartment pencil case or someone scribbling with a chewed-up biro, you'll recognise the everyday drama that came with trying to survive the playground and the classroom alike. Remember the reverence for Parker pens? Or the moment a TV trolley wheeled into the room, promising a blessed break from long division? From recorder lessons that sounded like a goose fight to the magical healing powers of green paper towels, we relive the bizarre, brilliant details of 90s school culture with the affection only time can bring. We also celebrate the rituals that shaped us – forging sick notes, jostling for seats on school trip coaches, pretending to understand blurry OHP slides, and typing “5318008” into calculators with absolute glee. These moments didn't just define our school days—they bonded a generation together in a uniquely British, mildly traumatising way. So whether you survived swimming lessons with chlorine-sensitive excuses or found yourself emotionally changed by a particularly stressful Ofsted visit, this episode is your invitation to laugh, cringe, and nod along. The 90s school experience was a world of chaos and camaraderie—and we wouldn't trade it for anything (except maybe to never play the recorder again). Talk2TheHand is an independent throwback podcast run by husband and wife, Jimmy and Beth. Obsessed with 90s nostalgia and 90s celebrities, we'll rewind the years and take you back to the greatest era of our lives.   New episodes bursting with nostalgia of the 90s released on Tuesdays. Please subscribe to our podcast and we'll keep you gooey in 1990s love. Find us on Twitter @talk2thehandpod or email us at jimmy@talk2thehand.co.uk or beth@talk2thehand.co.uk

Does your organisation struggle to retain high-potential female talent without knowing why? Today I am looking at 5 key reasons organisations struggle to retain key female talent mid-career. We are discussing:Culture, inclusion and belongingTransparency  - this is a biggie!Active sponsorshipLeadership developmentLet's be really honest about the barriers women are facing on a day-to-day basis and start taking measurable action towards creating more enriching careers for women.Something I said today:"Women must be made aware when internal roles are opening up for application. Too often they are not made equally aware of potential opportunities and so can't apply. This has a compound impact: not only do they not even have the opportunity to present themselves as a potential candidate, their exclusion can lead to them doubting the support they have in the organisation which can then also diminish their confidence and sense of belonging further."

Tonight on The Huddle, Trish Sherson from Sherson Willis PR and former Labour minister Stuart Nash joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! Heather's disappointed that the Government hasn't followed on after all their talk on reform. They've only gotten rid of 2000 public servants so far - what do we make of all this? Chris Luxon copped some backlash after he started talking about potentially cutting sick leave entitlements from 10 back to 5 days - then had to clarify that that's actually not on the Government's agenda.

On this week's edition of the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: From Tucson to Melbourne to Vancouver, workers are rising up—and their stories are being told. We start with Words and Work, where Bookmans employees in Arizona walk off the job, demanding movement at the bargaining table. “If they're not going to make a motion,” one worker says, “we're going to make a motion.” On Working People, student hunger strikers at the University of Oregon connect their campus protest to the starvation crisis in Gaza, calling it not only physical destruction—but cultural erasure. Down under, Stick Together brings us to a pastry factory in Melbourne, where bakery workers making muffins, donuts, and Australia's famous Woolworths mud cakes go on strike for fair pay—and win a seat at the table through collective action. From Roswell Hub, we explore what it means when your workplace relocates—sometimes a blessing, sometimes a life-altering burden—and what unions can do to protect workers when buildings close or operations shift. And on On the Line, we travel back to WWII-era Vancouver, where women known as “conductor-ettes” defied gender roles—and unruly passengers—to keep the streetcars running while the men were at war.

A new plan is being touted as a way to fast track shaking up the grocery sector. The New Zealand Initiative is proposing allowing new entrants to enter the market, rather than forcing any break-up of the existing supermarket companies. It outlines the need for fast track plans for rezoning, consenting, overseas investment clearance, and a more neutral stance from the government. Chief Economist Eric Crampton told Mike Hosking a new entrant should get a head start. He says within five years the government would find out whether planning barriers are what's held companies back. Foodstuffs and Woolworths are both members of the New Zealand Initiative.

Coaching is the ideal partnership to help you become more strategic and chase down only THE BEST opportunities for you and your career.Too often people are lost in their careers, working extremely hard and delivering phenomenal results - but without getting the return for themselves. It can leave you feeling empty, unfulfilled and unrecognised.Making the time to think about where you are and what you REALLY want can be absolutely game changing. That objective review will take you out of the weeds and the DOING of your career... and into the strategic control seat. And then - AND ONLY THEN - will you start getting the promotions and opportunities you deserve!Something I said today:"A coach is skilled to hold space for you and help you challenge whether what you're doing right now is indeed the right path to be on."

Woolworths claims supermarket competition is intense in New Zealand despite conceding the top two players still have about eighty percent of the market. It claims contrary to popular misconceptions, New Zealand's grocery prices are cheaper than those in the UK and Australia, but the snag is only taking GST out of the equation. Woolworths has released a paper with its take on competition in response to government moves to crack down on the supermarket duopoly. Woolworths New Zealand interim managing director is Pieter de Wet spoke to Lisa Owen.

Woolworths plans to go through a major “reset” by cutting grocery prices to regain its declining market share. Life360, the family tracking app, has seen its shares jump more than 13%... after its paid subscriptions skyrocketed. Fox Corp is launching its own streaming service, called Fox One, but it doesn’t want to kill its pay-TV in the process. _ Download the free app (App Store): http://bit.ly/FluxAppStorel Download the free app (Google Play): http://bit.ly/FluxappGooglePlay Daily newsletter: https://bit.ly/fluxnewsletter Flux on Instagram: http://bit.ly/fluxinsta Flux on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flux.finance —- The content in this podcast reflects the views and opinions of the hosts, and is intended for personal and not commercial use.
