49m · Published 24 May 17:00

Lacey Filipich helps people become financially independent and reclaim their lives.

Thousands worldwide have used my Money School courses to liberate themselves from debt, start saving and investing, and raise financially capable kids. We are incredibly excited to announce that Money School courses will be included in the Sisterhood School.

Money School is also the title of Lacey's non-fiction book, out with Penguin Life.

Lacey graduated as valedictorian from The University of Queensland with an Honours degree in Chemical Engineering. If you want to find out how a chemical engineer ends up teaching people about money, be sure also to check out her TED Talk

Lacey is also the winner of a 2019 Business News '40 under 40' Award.

Having financial independence makes Lacey "time rich" so that she now chooses how she spends her time. We are grateful to be speaking with her today.

Here is a part of what we discussed and asked Lacey today:

How both of Lacey's parents were role models when it came to her finances
How can people be aware of the marketing and ensure we make the right decisions to move us forward and not get stuck or even fall into debt?
How can financial stress play a crucial role in our IQ resulting in worse career and relationship choices?

"When we feel poor, we make bad decisions, and often those decisions keep us poor."

What is a "mini-retirement" and what it can mean for young people."
How do people begin the plan of starting a mini-retirement?
What is your hope for the women going through Money School as a part of the Sisterhood Club?
What are the three rules of Money School, and how are all the rules included within the Sisterhood School?
Why we shouldn't be ignoring Cryptocurrency and the power of Blockchain technology.

How NFTs are Creating Value-Led Businesses - Juliette Brindak Blake, Miss O Cool Girls

36m · Published 17 May 17:00

Juliette Brindak Blake is a Mum of 3 and the Co-Founder of Miss O Cool Girls NFT - celebrating girls and what it means to be a female of the future.

How NFTs are creating value-led businesses.

"To bring more women and underrepresented groups into the world of Web3, we need to find something they can connect with.

...The more of these projects that come out with values that align with themselves is where the opportunity is for people to get involved."

About Miss O Cool Girls

The Miss O Cool Girls are a series of 10,000 randomly generated NFTs. Inspired by drawings Juliette Brindak Blake did when she was 10 and illustrated by co-founder Hermine Brindak, a mother-daughter duo, the Miss O Cool Girls celebrate that there is no one definition of what it means to be a girl. Featuring unique and diverse traits of young teen girls – acne, braces, gap teeth – the mission is to empower and build self-esteem in girls to offset how current media and social media consumption lead to toxic bullying and trolling and negative role models.

The rarest girls have the realest traits, and we love them so much for that.

Just a little bit of our conversation topics today:

2:05 - Backstory to Miss O Cool girls
5:40 - When did you identify how NFTs could elevate your business
10:10 - Building the Miss O Cool Girls community
15:00 - Starting an NFT business as a Mum
20:44 - What are the barriers to entry into Web3 for women?
24:30 - What does Web3 look like 12 months from now?
28:05 - How is Miss O Cool Girls building for the future?

Why Women Need to Enter the World of Web3, Now - Liza Boston, Web3 Venture Investor

48m · Published 10 May 17:00

"(Technology has) been such a bro club the last 15 years, and even more so now, so it's refreshing to see young women like yourself coming into this space. The cost of not doing so is greater than that of doing so. Let's talk about how exciting it is for women right now (to get into the Web3, Metaverse and NFT space)"

Today it was an absolute privilege to sit down with Liza Boston, a Web 3.0 Venture Investor, Metaverse Entrepreneur, NFT Artist and Poet.

We discussed the importance of why we need to encourage more women to enter the world of web3 and how she feels just as passionate and energised as she did at the beginning of Web 2.0

Here is a snapshot of what we spoke about in today's episode:

How can we encourage more young women into the world of technology.
Why do women only see 2% of VC money?
What did Liza learn from rubbing shoulders with many of the tech leaders of Web2? Including Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
How does Liza explain the Metaverse, Web3 and NFTs to newbies?
Why do all businesses need to be thinking about a Web 3.0 strategy?
How we have to work together and co-create this new world of web 3.0

Liza is an early stage, women-led VC Angel investor passionate about Web 3.0, NFT, DAO, Crypto, VR, XR, AI and gaming projects.

Liza is also an artist, poet, film-maker, storyteller, and passionate advocate for the creator economy. There has been no greater time in the history of the world to make more Art: art-making is a subversive political process; it is urgent and high on Liza’s global agenda.

Liza has designed, founded, led and scaled high-tech, hi-growth companies and creative projects in Australia, the UK, the USA and the North Pole, where she also swam with a Walrus.

Liza is an innovation junkie and has her own suite of global technology patents, original songs and live performances.

Liza toured the world as the founder, CEO and Chairman of a revolutionary live music platform (Soundhalo), launched in London with a suite of top50 bands and broadcast live to 196 countries in real-time, from patent beta concept and spearheading a disruptive global operation to the delight of shareholders, fans, top 50 artists, labels, telco giants and consumer brand partners.

From growing up in a war zone to growing a multi-million dollar business - Rania Awad, CEO Digital Smoothie

40m · Published 03 May 20:00

Rania Awad is a mother, wife, founder, and successful entrepreneur.

Rania spent her first 11 years in a war zone in Lebanon in survival mode.

When the moment to leave arrived, she flew to Sydney. Landing in Australia, she couldn't believe it.

The first thought in her mind was, "gosh, tonight I'm just going to sleep, and I'm not going to be woken up by the sounds of bullets or bombs."

The early years were formative for Rania, and she developed an attitude of "what is the worst that could happen?"

Taking risks and dreaming big was something that didn't scare her.

At the age of 24, she started a Pharmacy and grew it into a well-respected multi-million dollar business.

She created one of the first-ever online pharmacies heading down the exciting e-commerce, technology, and digital path.

That business was acquired by Pharmacy-4-less, which she helped to take into the UK, US and China Markets, growing the company from zero to 16 million in 3 years.

Rania is now the CEO and founder of Digital Smoothie, a group of passionate creators and problem solvers in marketing, design, process optimisation, plus much more.

There are many great takeaways from today's conversation, and we know you will love it!
