Nicole Gibson is a remarkable founder who thinks deeply about what it means to be human in the world of tech.

The CEO of inTruth Technologies, the world’s first emotion bio-tech, is a very special guest on Startup 360 this week, sharing her journey from teenage student struggling with serious health issues and the profound impact one educator had on her life, to how she hopes we can all be better people by coming to understand who we are using tech.

She's on a mission to reshape the future of personal well-being, leadership, and human connection, having served as the youngest Commonwealth Commissioner for Mental Health, and also founding Love Out Loud (also writing a book with that title), a movement dedicated to fostering authentic human connection and conscious leadership.Nicole's conversation with cohosts Majella Campbell and Simon Thomsen is one of the rawest, most authentic and generous discussions Startup 360's seen in 27 episodes as she talks about bridging the gap between AI, emotional intelligence, and human potential.

Meanwhile, Simon takes the chance to quiz Majella about her day job as CEO of Fishburners, as it prepares to move out of the Sydney Startup Hub, which is being shut down by the NSW government, and the new direction and vision she has for the Fishburners community of hundreds of startups, as well as the broader ecosystem.

Also joining them for 10x, the show's rapid-fire questions, is David "Dutchie" Holland from Employment Hero. The man in charge of talent solutions at the HR tech unicorn has been there since it was a team of 12 back in 2016, which has now grown to more than 1,600 people. Dutchie shares his insights into scaling a startup, and the joy of nicknames.

Startup 360 is more founder fund than founder mode. It’s all about finding out what makes people tick and staying human.
