The Life In Bold Show

What does it take to run an international fashion label while you are working through the hardest year of your own life?In this instalment of Bold Behind the Brand on The Life In Bold Show, Adrian sits down with Deanna Depetro, co-owner and creative director of Mossman. Deanna takes us from sewing with her mum and her first job at McDonald’s at 14 and nine months, through a retail career built from the ground up and a move to New York at 24, to the day she took over Mossman and spent years shedding its outlet stigma to build the brand she had envisioned. She shares how a design goes from a runway photo to a finished piece, why backing yourself on the risky styles can pay off, what founder led content has done for the brand, and how she works on trusting her team as a self confessed control freak. She also opens up about grief, a breakup, and what it is like to look like you have it all together when you are working hard to hold it all together.This one is for anyone building a business or a personal brand who wants the real story behind the polished exterior, and for anyone who needs to hear that you are never behind.Connect with Deanna:Instagram: @deannadepetroMOSSMAN: @mosmanConnect with Adrian:Instagram: @age_inboldPodcast Instagram: @lifeinboldshowWebsite: www.inbold.com.auIf you are struggling and need support, please reach out to Beyond Blue at www.beyondblue.org.au or call 1300 22 4636.

What if the hardest chapter of your story is the exact reason you're so hard to break?In this solo episode of The Life In Bold Show, Adrian is back from five weeks in Europe with one of his most personal episodes yet. He unpacks why he says being gay is a superpower and what growing up gay has taught him about life at 34.He walks through five reasons: you know what living inauthentically feels like, you are forced to learn self love, you build immense resilience, you have no biological clock or timeline to follow, and you are born into a community. Along the way he shares what it was like to hide who he was, how falling in love with his straight best friend became the reason he finally came out, and what the rainbow community looks like when it shows up for one of its own.This one is made for the queer community, for the straight allies who want to understand what goes on behind the scenes, and for anyone who has ever turned the hardest part of their life into their greatest strength.Content note: this episode contains themes of anxiety, depression, suicide and domestic violence.Connect with Adrian:Instagram: @age_inboldPodcast Instagram: @lifeinboldshowWebsite: www.inbold.com.auIf you are struggling and need support, please reach out to Beyond Blue at www.beyondblue.org.au or call 1300 22 4636.

Most people treat their CV like a legal document, when it should be treated like a billboard: you've got three seconds to make a recruiter stop scanning and take notice.After eight years working as a recruiter, Adrian pulls back the curtain on exactly what happens to your CV the moment it lands on someone's desk, and what most people are getting wrong before they even apply. He breaks down how to structure your CV from top to bottom, why tailoring it to every job ad matters more than having the fanciest title, which details to remove completely, and how to write a cover letter that actually gets read.This one is full of the kind of insider advice recruiters rarely say out loud, built to help you get past the scan and into the interview room.Connect with Adrian:Instagram: @age_inboldPodcast Instagram: @lifeinboldshowWebsite: www.inbold.com.auIf you are struggling and need support, please reach out to Beyond Blue at www.beyondblue.org.au or call 1300 22 4636.

Every interaction you have, every choice you make when no one's watching, every way you show up when someone is, all of it is quietly building or breaking your reputation whether you're paying attention or not.In this episode, Adrian breaks down the four pillars that make up your Personal Brand: your thoughts, your actions, your communication, and your appearance, and why every single one of them is either adding a brick to the reputation you want or the one you don't. He pulls from his own journey building a personal brand across recruitment, coaching, and now In Bold and explains why this episode isn't just for business owners or content creators. If you have a job, a relationship, or a pulse, you already have a personal brand, the only question is whether you're building it on purpose. This one will make you rethink every small decision you've been making on autopilot.
