Bree Tomasel is a comedian and radio host who describes her job as “talking sh*t for a living”. While she worked for a decade in radio trying to build her profile she knows it would be naive to suggest the hilarious and crude videos she made of her and her mum didn’t contribute to her success. Bree’s video content has been picked up by huge online publications like UniLad and LadBible, and even garnered the attention of Hollywood heartthrob Channing Tatum. As a bisexual woman, Bree makes a choice not to share much of her romantic life online; an interesting dynamic given she rose to fame because of her no-filter style of oversharing. She opens up to Tully about LGBTQIA+ kids reaching out to her to share their own stories, and how she built a career out of “dumb” and fun videos.

Amy Maree Castano started her career in accounting. These days, she's one of the most successful beauty influencers in the country. That’s a pretty big change but getting there wasn’t easy.  In the early days she struggled to find her voice online and to get comfortable with sharing her life with her followers. Amy’s husband Jono is also an influencer and celebrity personal trainer, and together they’re one of the most influential couples in social media.  The pair met back in the days of Myspace and they’ve spent the better part of a decade together, tying the knot a year ago in a ceremony that would make Kim Kardashian blush. Amy opens up to Tully Smyth about the hustle and grind of being a beauty influencer, how her background in accounting has helped with the fluctuating nature of influencer work, and if she really changed her surname when she married Jono because it matched her branding.

Sara Crampton founded Harper and Harley more than a decade ago - before Instagram even existed, and only just as Facebook was gaining traction.  Since then, she’s worked relentlessly to grow from a blogger to a business owner, with her online retail store, The Undone. She remains one of Australia’s most well known women when it comes to style, even appearing on the 2016 reality show Fashion Bloggers. Just like her style aesthetic, Sara’s ‘grid’ is minimalist and lush. With earthy tones and fine lines, she curates a sense of luxury in order. But life is messy. Sara has a dog. She has a husband. She has a baby on the way. Sara opens up to host Tully Smyth about finding balance between the mess of real life and the order of her online presence, why she would never do reality TV again, and how she’s separated Harper and Harley from her own personal identity.

Lily Brown is a YouTuber, beauty blogger, influencer, and the most bad ass redhead you’ll ever meet. The 20-year-old vlogger has no qualms showing the less glamorous parts of being a beauty influencer; particularly while dealing with acne flare ups and eczema.  From the boring parts of her days, to international trips, moving back home, and beach parties; Lily shares all the parts of her life with her hundreds of thousands of followers. She uses her own journey with bad skin and anxiety to cut through the picture-perfect facade of the ‘gram and keep it transparent with the people who look up to her. Tully digs deep with the beauty influencer about filtering apps, having down days, authenticity, and the weirdest DMs in her inbox .

When Laura Byrne won The Bachelor in 2016 she was surprised. She also wasn’t a huge fan of Instagram. She had an account, @ladyandacat, that wasn’t doing much but it was the first year The Bachelor decided contestants should have their own Instagram accounts and she wasn’t prepared for what that would mean.
