On this episode of the Best & Brightest podcast, we'll be talking to Leah Chandler, founder of @kidsfitaust ! Leah is a mum of 3, a lover of people, a wellness specialist, and a competitor in Olympic weightlifting. Her big burn is to see the inclusion of all in society (especially those with additional needs). Her business, Kids-Fit Australia provides fitness, yoga & mindfulness programs to all that support kids and families. This includes kids of all ages, parents & carers, families, and educators (schools, early learning, and childcare centres - both mainstream and special needs). Leah and her team believe that educating all these groups will establish a supportive and inclusive community and keep all fit and well for everyday life.

On this episode, we're talking to Stevie Angel & Nadia Tucker the founders of Active Truth!

On the 5th episode of the Best & Brightest Show we're talking to the inspirational founder of beloved pet brand Rufus & Coco Australia, Anneke van den Broek! Anneke has built a highly successful, global brand that supports pet owners and gives back to animal charities and not-for-profits. Growing up, Anneke always knew she wanted to have a positive impact in the world. Her Dutch father taught her from a very young age that she ‘could do anything if she tried,’ and that she did. An early entrepreneur, at eight years old she was breeding and selling mice to her local pet store for 40c each. A successful career in marketing and management followed and at 23, she was single-handedly running 300 David Jones fashion shows across Australia each year. She went on to become the Marketing Director for Blackmores and held senior positions at Apparel Group and Bonds. During these years in corporate, she went back to study to complete an MBA, knowing that ultimately, she wanted to start her own business. Anneke grew up in a house where if you didn’t get to the couch first the dog would take your spot and quickly recognised the growing trend of people treating their pets as part of the family. Having owned more than 40 pets in her life, when the opportunity presented itself to launch a business, she chose an industry she knew she could remain passionate about for years to come. In 2008, pregnant with her first child, she launched Rufus & Coco, a ‘best of breed’ pet care brand offering fashionable, affordable, natural and quality pet care products unlike anything that was available at the time. With great passion and persistence, she has taken Rufus & Coco from a startup to the largest privately-owned pet business in the pet accessories category selling into grocery in Australia. Having just celebrated their 13th anniversary, Rufus & Coco are Australia’s most awarded pet care brand, receiving seven business awards for innovation. Rufus & Coco also partners with the Australian Pet Welfare Foundation and strongly supports their mission towards zero euthanasia of pets in shelters by donating a percentage of all sales within their I Give A Wag toy range, as well as being strong advocates for the right for pets in rental and tenanted properties. Running a ‘Women of EO’ (The Sydney faction of the global Entrepreneur’s Organisation) forum, she is also passionate about giving back and mentors four high growth startups, helping them to build their own multi-million-dollar businesses.

Next up on the Best & Brightest show we’re talking to Kristy Moore the founder of @travelmooreau Australia’s only certified autism friendly travel agent.

 

On the 2nd episode of the 'Best & Brightest' podcast we're catching up with the visionary founder of @sharethedignityaustralia Rochelle Courtenay believed that no woman should have to go without access to feminine hygiene products and has created a movement to end period poverty and provide practical support for disadvantaged women and girls. We believe investing in women is the #1 way to change the world and we're proud to be partnering with Share The Dignity and donating $1 for every nomination received for the 2021 AusMumpreneur Awards!
