A podcast about building websites, partnerships, content creation

Our first episode for 2024 is HERE! With 15 years experience in the industry, Hazel Savage is a music-tech lifer, guitarist and former CEO/Co-Founder at Musiio, who I had the pleasure of working with back at my Universal days. So when Hazel said yes to coming on the podcast, I was excited to catch up and hear all her news…it had been a while! Hazel started her music-tech journey as an early employee at HMV and Shazam and spent time understanding the pain points of the industry (that AI could solve) while at Pandora, Universal and various other music companies before launching Musiio in 2018 and then selling the business to SoundCloud in 2022. This episode is a FANTASTIC listen, enjoy! ---------- Related links: https://www.instagram.com/businessbosscollective/ https://www.instagram.com/digitalcollectiveco/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/hazelrebeccasavage/?originalSubdomain=uk https://www.instagram.com/hazelsavage/?hl=enSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

interview with digital marketing entrepreneur, Peter Davis, from AmpJar

In this week’s episode of #AMomentWithModernMentors, Mia McLeod had the pleasure of chatting with St Remio founders Julia Tink and Trent Knox. The wife-husband duo and coffee innovators. St Remio was founded in 2015, but it wasn’t until Trent spoke at Global Coffee Conference in Rwanda that their brand WHY truly emerged. After that moment, the vision for St Remio changed to become a brand that championed the coffee growers and gave back to them. Their mission is to “change people’s mindset away from commodity and into the community.” In 2019, they visited Rwanda to open a Cupping Lab that not only produces sustainable coffee but empowers coffee growers through funding education and infrastructure! The pair are extremely dedicated to doing great things for others with the support of their customers and say that’s what motivates them when the going gets tough. This is an excellent listen about one couple, a powerful community, and lots and lots of coffee! www.stremiocoffee.com Related links www.digital-collective.co www.instagram.com/digitalcollectiveco www.instagram.com/businessbosscollectiveSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carly Shamgar is the CEO & Co-Founder of a new kindness concept called Shouta... like many things recently launched, Shouta emerged during COVID when co-founders Carly and Nick came up with a fun yet meaningful way to show friends and family you’re thinking about them. With the online gifting market ripe for disruption, Shouta provides digital natives with a sincere and affordable way to recognise not only friends and family but smaller businesses that have been hit by lockdowns. The online gift market generally focuses on hampers and floral arrangements and is often upwards of $100 and not affordable for many people, especially millennials. Shouta allows people of all ages and locations to send instant digital gifts to their loved ones that can be redeemed anywhere that takes a debit card. www.shouta.com.au Related links www.digital-collective.co www.instagram.com/digitalcollectiveco www.instagram.com/businessbosscollectiveSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
