Assistercast

Our last episode of the season - and boy is this a good one! We got to interview Hannah Spilva, one half of the dynamic founder duo behind LVLY, Australia’s favourite cheeky flower and gift delivery service. Join us to learn more about Hannah’s journey from advertising strategist to startup founder, her insights into building a productive relationship with her co-founder and the role of mentorship in her incredible journey. 

Welcome back! In this Linh & Polina episode we go through our main takeaways from our interview with Holly Hunt and pick the points that resonated with us the most. 

In this episode, we spoke with the incredible startup queen / scientist / entrepreneur / venture capitalist Elaine Stead. We got to talk about finding your own path, being true to your values, equality, and, of course, mentorship. Tune in to find out why we are in such awe of Elaine's journey, way of thinking, and approach to leadership!

In this episode we go through our takeways from the interview with the legend that is Marc Orchard, and dive into how we understand the very definition of a 'mentor' and the fact that you can find different kinds of supporters depending on what you really need in different circumstances. 

Holly is an absolute superstar when it comes to building communities, and we wanted to dig deep into what role mentors and mentorship have played in her journey. Tune in for some personal stories, a few good laughs, and a really insightful view on being purposeful when building your tribe.

In episode #3 we chat to Marc Orchard, a champion of community-building, and a bit of a legend of the Brisbane startup scene. We talk about creating a different vocabulary for all of the different roles in your support network, how to get wearing your favourite Nike hightops added to your employment contract, and ponder whether you don't always need a mentor - rather a squad of people who can help in different aspects of your professional and personal life. 



 

Hello again! In this episode, we discuss our conversation with Tia Queen and Brenton Craig from Gangplank, and lean into celebrating differences rather than being apologetic for them. Dive in with us!

We had a chat with the magnificent Tia Queen and Brenton Craig, the founders of Gangplank - a design studio that has been helping spatial design practices across the globe define and refine how they communicate their work.

Tune in for golden nuggets on productively working through artistic differences, at least 3 genius product ideas, learning that the most important mentorship moments are not always huge, and a LOT of laughs (sorry, these two are THAT awesome!).

If you are curious about Enneagram, the personality test mentioned by Tia - more info available here.

Join us as we discuss our main outtakes from our conversation with Jamila Rizvi. We get close and personal talking about our experiences with mentoring, asking for help and...catching on fire!

We were not-just-lucky to talk to Jamila Rizvi ( 😱), an acclaimed author, gender equality advocate, and all-around industry legend about her experiences being mentored and mentoring, the impact of a well-timed jump into the unknown, and experiencing the differences of what is required from a leader when managing teams of different gender makeup.

Explore Jamila's books here - we cannot recommend Not Just Lucky enough!
