This episode has everything for every listener. We actually struggled with whether to name the episode with it being about TWOOBS the brand or about the two founds, Jess and Stef Dadon who are on the show today. Jess and Steff were already famous from their How Two Live blog, and then Podcast, before they started TWOOBS. This is the story of how they grew their platform and then pivoted to become founders, moving away from content creating into running the sustainable footwear brand that is all over social media.  These two are actually so OG in the blogging space that they were doing it BEFORE Instagram (when the world was still black and white).They talk about:How blogging has changed How their platform helped/hindered them starting a brandHow to find loyal brand ambassadorsHow the culture and waste around influencer marketing needs to change And they share a really vulnerable story about their Jewish identity that made James cry off-air If you are a content creator that is looking to diversify or you are thinking of starting a brand, then you need this episode. MENTIONS:-Their blog -Bill Cunningham -TWOOBS podcast -Triangl Swimwear-Frank body-Rosie Waterland -Article on Jewish Heritage-Patagonia -Style By Deni-Maggie Zhou -Claire Stevens - Mamma Mia -Renee’s Convo CARDS-Brene Brown ***OUR NEW WEBSITEhttps://www.doyoueveninfluence.media/Leave us a voicemail for us to play on the showhttps://www.doyoueveninfluence.media/voicemailJoin our Facebook group*Mixing and mastering by Big MasteringFollow our socials or get in contact:Doyoueven_influenceRenee_buckinghamSydneyveganguide/Melbveganguide

Are sending Donuts the new D*ck Picks ?! Asking for a friend. On this week's episode we sat down with the incredibly friendly Phillip Kouch from GOLDELUCKS donuts.  If you didn’t see dick donuts and exploding butterfly donuts on your feed in 2021 then where the heck were you?  Goldelucks has 790k Tiktok followers and just keeps rising! Like a big fluffy donut This episode is exploding with so much heart and wholesome content for those of us that love a story of how you can start a business and build it online to go viral. Phillip’s family migrated to Australia and opened up a bakery (this was seen as success) and he would help out on weekends and in between uni work. These days, Philip is the Creative director of his very own bakery GOLDELUCKS and his mum helps ice dick donuts so he can dedicate time to creating witty and sweet Tiktoks. “Since our humble beginnings, We have served more than 350,000 customers and regularly been featured as one of the best doughnut shops in Melbourne by publications such as the Herald Sun and Concrete Playground.” (Side note- They also sell Vegan Donuts.)Phillip strips back the filter on how you build a brand up from the ground (using social media and Ariande Grande to go viral), the importance of outsourcing, gives great advice on how you can take your brand/business idea and make it a success overnight and reasons why your platform online is your brand!This episode was recorded in Naarm on the traditional lands of the Kulin Nation People. Hosted by Renee Buckingham and Chloe Perrett. Edited by Alex Hatzikostas Give us some love and like and subscribe to the podcast.

Today on the show we are joined by Bianca Ling from the mega famous toilet paper brand Who Gives A Crap - the amazing eco friendly company that donates half their profits (HALF!!!) towards providing clean water and working toilets around the world! WGAC nail their branding and brand mission and as Bianca is the Global Influencer and Affiliate Marketing Manager we thought she would be the PERFECT person to tell us all about what happens at WGAC HQ. What we DIDN'T know is that Bianca is also a mega content creator in her own right with over 94k followers on her @Melbfoodbaby page. So she REALLY knows what she is talking about. Enjoy   About Who Gives A CrapWho Gives A Crap was started by Simon, Jehan and Danny after they learnt that 2.4 billion people don't have access to a toilet (now 2 billion – yay for progress!). That's roughly 40% of the global population and means that around 289,000 children under five die every year from diarrhoeal diseases caused by poor water and sanitation. That's almost 800 children per day, or one child every two minutes.In July 2012, they launched Who Gives A Crap with a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo and over $50,000 was made. The brand’s first product in March 2013 and it’s kept growing ever since. Not just because their toilet paper is gracing bathrooms across the country but because they donate 50% of profits to help build toilets and improve sanitation in the developing world.MENTIONSFrank Body @Flex.mami - fave creator @UnnecessaryInventions - fave creator Levi and Leah - fave collab (Youtube Couple)@TheKellyStamps - fave creator USE OUR CODE: Get $10 off your first subscription with Who Gives A Crap when using the code DYEI10 at check out.  ORDER HERE: https://prf.hn/click/camref:1101lpGfGIt's valid for orders over $47.
