Did you know that the World Health Organisation (WHO) defines sexual health as a need, not just a desire? Rob and Zach from Luddi subscribe to this message, and believe that everyone deserves to experience pleasure, which is why they've gone and designed a sex toy intended for all bodies. Their campaign for change in the disability community has spurred them into action with a highly anticipated r...

In this episode with Eva, we talk about her vodcasting series If Innovation Could Talk where she interviews innovators in Perth.

Katie started The Second Salon because of her passion for essential oils and her natural affinity for running a business, but it hasn't come without its unique challenges. We discuss maintaining a side hustle when you've got a full time job, standing for what you know you're good at and organising things so you don't burn out. If you can relate, give it a listen and if you have questions or a topi...

You guys loved listening to our home cook who blew up on Instagram (@cwisspy) so we bring you another incredible talent, Yeelin from @pardonmyfrenchtreats. Yeelin is a home baker and she may also be Mauritian, but she has completely different challenges to Chris; she's a mum of 3. If you can relate or you're hoping for some motivation and business know-how when it comes to starting a home biz, thi...

He also initiated Metric Events, Pilerats, Jack Rabbit Slims, and more, as well as facilitated breaking artist's like Skrillex, Flume and Alison Wonderland. If you're still reading, chuck your headphones on and get listening instead, as we spend over an hour hearing the m...

This one felt a bit like therapy for both Taryn and Tash, and we're excited to let you into our private worlds! Fear is something we encounter every day and it can make or break your plans for success if you're an entrepreneur. Listen to us deep dive into everything real about starting a business and let us know your perspective!

Check out this marketing gal's background. You get a taste of the truth when it comes to how Taryn started in engineering and ended up in marketing. Hint, it wasn't all daisies figuring out what to do and we're not entirely sure we're at the end of the road yet, but listen in as the girls chat about how Taryn got to where she is now.

Settle in for a backstory from one of Perth's remarkable entrepreneurs; Charlene Clarke. We talk tracks from doing an MBA and meeting her business partner, to how aspects from her personal life such as financial disadvantage, domestic violence and lack of "book smarts" attributed to her success now. We love a direct and humble business owner, and can't wait to hear your thoughts on this episode!

Hannah has many passions in life including ASMR, breakfast burritos and hitting up the Pearfect Pantry for a coffee before episodes. Listen to her main passion for HR, how she got started in the industry and what she makes of it now. If you have any questions for us for future episodes, let us know!

We interviewed an active member of the community, an avid advocate for our local businesses and a great conversationalist; Patrick Gorman, Labor's MP in Perth. Believe it or not, we reached out on the instagram, @patrickgormanmp, and he replied and we were able to have a candid and brilliant conversation about all things Patrick and Perth. We don't usually align ourselves politically, but we belie...

Welcome to our flagship Taryn & Hannah episode, part of a series of episodes we'll be doing to give you an insight into us! In this episode, we dabble in ASMR as well as take you back to the origins of the podcast (we know you've noticed the male voices in the original episodes..). Tune in and next week we'll tell you more about what we do, and what qualifies us to speak to business owners and...

Welcome, Reeva, to The Perth Business Podcast! Reeva opens up about being fired, going from strength to strength by starting a digital business and the realities of mental health for business owners. It can look very different for everyone, and one person's breakdown might look like completely different to another's. Tune in and let us know what you think on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn.

Tune in for our conversation with the genius behind @cwisspy, a divine Instagram page of original creations by Chris, inspired by his background in Mauritius. We chat about a life changing event that forced him to be home bound (pre-COVID) and drove him to cooking, while his background in photography helped bring his creations to life for those online. 

We're back with Lacey and the second half of our discussion with her experience as a style and image coach. In this episode, we get pretty candid, discussing foundations of success and mental health, navigating values like perfectionism and operating on a cycle as a woman. Send us a voice message or write in to theperthbusinesspodcast@gmail.com, dive into our DMs or simply check out more about Lac...

Tune in for our newest episode with an inspiring business leader; Lacey Savell.  In this episode we have a candid chat with Lacey whose jam is being a stylist and image coach educator.  If you're not sure what that is, who needs an image coach or if you're curious, you're bound to learn a lot in this episode. We talk about; Combating critical thoughts by using mirror work - a tool to bui...

We continue the business chat with copious amounts of giggles alongside Toby. This episode covers balance (do we really need to be on an equal scale at all times, to be considered "successful"?), working a business or marketing idea backwards from an output you know you want to achieve, ego versus confidence and much more. Oh and also, what WAS that teacher's name in The Magic School Bus?!

This week, we were inspired by Toby; the kind of business owner whose energy we want to bottle up and sell. Toby runs four businesses and has a whole lot of knowledge about the different facets of starting, maintaining and growing a business in various industries. So, naturally, we captured as much as we could in two fast paced episodes jam packed with advice on how to win, and do good things for...

We had so much to talk about we had to split this one into two 40 min episodes. Lucky you ;) This episode covers another project the guys are working on building a CRM, and why they'll actually turn potential clients away if the solution already exists; automation in gathering data; user experience for people-first design; chat bots and future personal AI assistants (for when you need a reminder o...

Listen to the dulcet tones of whiskey consumption with Alex & John from Ninja Software and the Tech Society podcast. Part 1 delves into how they came to meet and be business partners, breaking grounds in Perth in technology and innovation. We had such a good time chatting candidly about the reality of working on the business including outsourcing and intern hires, and if you think this episode...

Press play on part 2 with Eleanor, where we discuss key challenges in accounting and the solutions to service even the trickiest businesses, marketing tactics that are relevant for all types of small businesses, and the customer process and experience. If you haven't heard part 1, head back to Ep #23. 

Meet Eleanor, founder of Your Business Accountants in Currambine. If you've heard Hannah on our other episodes, this is her mum! In part 1 of this two part episode, we discuss how the culture of accounting is perceived in Australia, what basic tools and processes you need to run your business effectively (hint, it's not just about doing your taxes) and whether you should partner with an accountant...

Meet Tanya, self-appointed CEO of Royal IT and the voice of reality inside all of our heads. We chat about coming to a crossroads in work, relationships and life in general, and the advantage of learning from failings. I'd be surprised if you don't resonate with at least one part of this conversation!

Katie Liew is quite possibly the most humble social entrepreneur in Perth. With roots in accounting, beginning at Curtin University before branching into the mining and resources industry, Katie did a 180 and changed pathways by founding The Underground Collaborative, which exists to provide employment and housing solutions for the homeless, at-risk and disadvantaged.  In this episode, we inv...

Get ready to keep up with this episode as we chat to Joel, qualified personal trainer with a background in calisthenics, weight-training, Mauy Thai, BJJ and gymnastics. In a cutthroat industry like fitness, it takes more than hard work and following the rules to lift your business off the ground. We talk all about the wacky marketing gimmicks out there and how to avoid falling into the trap of doi...
