The first thing that struck me about Brock Ashby was the way he spoke about his wife and children. You can tell when a man means it. That made me curious about the business behind their life. Brock had spent years working from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. to build his coaching career. He had the drive. He was good at what he did. And before he became a father, he made a decision about the kind of man he wanted his children to know. What does it take to build with that much ambition and still be there for the people you love? Brock tells me how he earned his clients’ trust, what he changed in his business, and why being present at home mattered enough to plan for it early. I wanted to understand the courage behind that choice, because I believe the people we love are a huge part of what makes a life rich. A strong family, faith that you’ll figure things out together, a husband and father who shows up. That matters to me. If you’re working hard to build something of your own, I think you’ll recognise Brock’s drive. I hope his story also makes you think about the life you want that work to hold.

Can you build a business, raise a family and still have a life you love in Sydney? If you have ever looked at the cost of housing, childcare, growing a business and a full calendar and wondered how women manage to hold all of it, this conversation is for you. In this episode of She's Taking Over, I sit down with Sarah Dixson, Mayor of Woollahra, family lawyer, business owner and new mum, to talk about what actually makes an ambitious life sustainable. Sarah has a six-month-old baby, a legal practice, a role leading her local council and a deep connection to the community around her. Her answer is refreshingly human: build your village, communicate clearly, ask for help and let people show up for you. This is a conversation for the woman building her career, contemplating family, or trying to create a beautiful life in a city she loves. We talk about: ⚡ How to build a real support system around your ambition 🤝 Why asking for help and accepting it expands what is possible 👩‍⚖️ Running a business while carrying meaningful responsibility 🗣️ The role communication, reputation and community play in building a career 🏡 Creating a life you want to stay in as Sydney changes 📚 Why being the most prepared person in the room matters 🙏 Faith, resilience and trusting that you can handle what comes next Sarah also shares the “grit and glamour” she inherited from the powerful women in her family, and the lesson she is carrying forward: you can do it, and you do not have to do it alone. 📊 DOWNLOAD JENNA’S STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE REPORT Want to go deeper into what’s changing for business owners?

The traditional career is shifting. What's replacing it is the career portfolio: A mix of skills, personal brand and side projects that you own, no matter what happens to your job. 🚀 AI just made building one faster than ever. In this episode of She's Taking Over, I sit down with Georgie Healy, host of In the Blink of AI, writer of Substack, Attention Is All I Need, former lead of Google's AI accelerator, and founder of Possum Playtime, to talk about what it actually takes to build leverage in this window of AI. Georgie has walked down almost every road of the "non-traditional" career path. She built and exited a tech business pre-AI, led innovation at one of the biggest companies in the world, and then walked away from the stability of Google to bet on her own personal brand, launching a monetised newsletter from week one to test whether she could commoditise her voice. Most importantly, we talk about what you can actually do now: ⚡ Audit what you're known for. 💻 Test if people will pay before you build. 📣 Build your reputation. 🧠 Use AI to remove barriers that used to require a team. 🗣️ Have an opinion, let it evolve. 🤝 Sell your skills back into your own network. 📈 Create leverage while the cost of experimenting is low. Because building a career portfolio isn't about protecting yourself from AI. It's about using this moment to build something that's undeniably yours. 📊 DOWNLOAD JENNA’S STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE REPORT Want to go deeper into what we discussed in this episode?

The old ways of creating security are changing. AI gives us a small window to build skills, businesses, brands, networks and leverage before the next version of work fully arrives. Invest in yourself. Get digitised. Build your network. Have a voice. 🚀 In this episode of She’s Taking Over, I sit down with lawyer, arbitrator, mediator and former parliamentary legal adviser Steph Hunt to talk about what the AI shift actually means for Australians, our jobs, businesses, wealth and future. We’re already seeing the workforce restructure. Jobs are moving offshore. AI is changing what businesses need from employees. The traditional pathways to building wealth feel harder, while the cost of living keeps climbing. But there is another side to this story. For people who are prepared to move early, AI is creating an extraordinary amount of leverage. We talk about why your expertise can become a business, why your personal brand and reputation may become some of your most valuable assets, and why skilled professionals have an opportunity to turn what they know into consulting businesses, Creative Units, services and intellectual property. We also unpack what Australia needs to get right. 🇦🇺 How do we protect Australian jobs without stifling innovation? How do we make it easier for small businesses to hire locally? What happens when highly skilled professionals leave traditional employment? And how do ordinary Australians have more of a voice in the policies shaping the next decade? This isn’t a conversation about left versus right. It’s a conversation about being awake to what is changing, understanding the game you’re playing and making deliberate moves while the window is still open. We cover AI, entrepreneurship, consulting, offshoring, Australian small business, tax, wealth creation, personal brand, reputation, community and the future of work. Most importantly, we talk about what you can actually do now. ⚡ Build your skills. 💻 Get digitised. 📣 Build your reputation. 🤝 Strengthen your network. 🧠 Learn to use AI properly. 📈 Create leverage. 🇦🇺 Have a voice in the future we’re building. Because this isn’t just about protecting yourself from AI. It’s about using it to create a more free future. 📊 DOWNLOAD JENNA’S STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE REPORT Want to go deeper into what we discussed in this episode?

He worked 92-hour weeks in construction to fund his dream. DM’d 1,000 strangers and raised €60k in 7 days. Launched a beauty app with no tech background. Lost it all. Rebuilt. And now? He's raised again and GlamUare is live, funded, and shipping features every 2 weeks. Sean MacAdams is not your typical tech founder and GlamUare is not your typical beauty platform. In this episode, we go deep on Sean’s wild journey: from almost dropping out of high school to pitching investors in Saudi Arabia, managing a 30,000+ women’s community in Bondi, and building a beauty-tech platform that’s making real impact. He didn’t come from money. He didn’t have a cofounder. He didn’t even code. But what he did have was a relentless work ethic, a community-first vision, and the nerve to keep showing up. What You’ll Learn: How Sean raised €60k in a week by DMing strangers with no pitch deck What happened when his first launch fell apart 24 hours before go-live The painful lessons from giving away equity too early and how he bought it back How he worked 92-hour weeks in construction to keep the dream alive Why he turned down Saudi investment (and what misaligned money almost cost him) What makes GlamUare different from every other booking app in beauty How he’s scaling now: fresh funding, bi-weekly feature drops, and go-to-market underway The community monetisation playbook behind Bondi Beach Babes, no ads, 30K+ members This Episode Is For: Founders building from scratch with no fancy background Non-technical tech founders who’ve hit brick walls with dev teams Creators and coaches trying to monetise community the right way Anyone who's ready to hear what building really takes Follow Sean + Explore GlamUare: GlamUare App: glamuare.com Sean on Instagram: @sean_mac_adams If you believe in grit over degrees, vision over validation, and community over hype, this episode is for you.

What does it take to build a category-leading company, exit, and then choose to do it all again… but on a bigger stage? In this episode, I sit down with Frank Greeff, co-founder of Realbase (acquired by Domain) and now building Kinso, to unpack how he thinks, hires, communicates and builds momentum. This is a candid look at the systems, standards and decisions behind scaling companies, attracting exceptional talent and using personal brand as a genuine growth engine. We talk through: Why he interviewed 110 engineers to hire five How founder-led content generated 11,000+ waitlist sign-ups What actually creates culture (and what kills it instantly) How to attract A-players without diluting standards Why teams only perform when they’re energised, not micromanaged Designing a life that supports ambition: family, fitness and focus The skills his kids will need in an AI-dominant world Core ideas: Hiring is a benchmark game, not a box-ticking exercise Standards shape culture and they slip fast if you let them Personal brand multiplies distribution, trust and talent flow Presence matters more than pace Implementation beats information People stay when they feel they’re becoming someone better Documenting the build creates belief and momentum Human energy becomes the advantage as AI scales Key timestamps: 3:00 Scaling Realbase to 400 staff 4:06 Why Frank chose to build again 5:28 The 110-interview hiring philosophy 9:12 What actually builds culture 28:33 The content engine behind Kinso 31:52 Why Kinso hires people who want to be on camera 40:35 Personal brand as leverage 42:25 Documenting the build 52:08 Skills the next generation will need I’m on a mission to bring that global, collaborative founder energy to Australia.

“I spent 15 years building the business... but it was the content that made it visible.” – Gareth Shears If you’re still relying on referrals, reputation, and word-of-mouth to grow, this is the episode that’ll make you rethink everything. For almost two decades, Gareth Shears built a successful financial planning firm the traditional way, loyal clients, steady referrals, zero public presence. Then in 2020, he tried what everyone was preaching: be everywhere. Podcasting, posting, YouTube, LinkedIn all at once. It didn’t work. He spread himself too thin, saw little return, and quietly pulled the plug. In 2023, he tried again, but differently. One platform. Two posts a day. No shortcuts. No skipping. Twelve months later, his content speaks for him. The consults are booked. The business runs around his life, not the other way around. This episode is for any service provider sitting on deep expertise, wondering if it’s too late to show up online. Gareth proves it’s not. You don’t need to start over. You just need a smarter way to be seen. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why most service providers burn out on content and how to reset your strategy so it actually works The mindset shift that will help you go from overlooked to in-demand How to create content that connects and converts, even in a regulated or “boring” industry The exact strategy that helped Gareth book 70 consults from a single post How to turn your audience’s real questions into your most valuable marketing tool The simple AI and automation systems Gareth uses to protect time without losing trust The money questions you should be asking (and how knowing them could change your business) Why content is no longer optional if you want leverage, lifestyle, or long-term brand equity ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 From police officer to financial planner: Gareth’s unexpected backstory 03:10 What 240 podcast episodes taught him about burnout and reach 07:30 The decision to post twice a day and how it changed everything 10:20 Why focusing on one platform outperformed being everywhere 13:00 How Gareth uses AI to automate admin while deepening client trust 18:00 Why most founders mismanage their finances and what to do instead 24:00 Making finance content scroll-worthy without dumbing it down 29:00 One carousel, 70 consults and why it worked 34:00 Personal branding as a service provider and how to do it with integrity 42:00 The 12 money questions people always ask and how they drive his content 48:00 Building a business that fits your life not the other way around 📢 If you loved this episode Send it to the friend who keeps saying, “I should post more.” Tag @garethshearscoach and @jenanannedavies on Instagram and share your biggest takeaway.

In this episode of She’s Taking Over, I’m joined by Holly MacAlpine, someone you might know from Big Brother, FBoy Island or The Amazing Race. But the version of her you’ll meet today is nothing like the one you saw on TV. In the last 12 months, Holly has landed a new job, stepped into politics, built a loyal audience, and rebranded her entire life all by creating content that aligned with her actual interests.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re working harder than ever but getting nowhere, this episode is for you. Eric Bugera is breaking down what separates long-term success from short-lived hype. Let’s get into it. Most fitness coaches don’t fail because they aren’t good at what they do. They fail because they focus on the wrong things. Chasing followers instead of building trust.

With 14+ years in the industry, he’s here to share what actually works for coaches who want to build credibility, attract high-value clients, and create a business that lasts. Key Takeaways: ✔️ Why the best coaches post LESS content—and get MORE clients ✔️ The no-BS marketing strategy that builds trust (without selling out) ✔️ How to create demand for your coaching—without chasing trends ✔️ The secret to keeping clients for YEARS, not weeks ✔️ How to stand out in a crowded industry—even if you don’t have a big audience 🎧 Hit play now and learn how to build a business that grows with you—not one that burns you out. 👉 Listen now.

Most people get stuck in “building” mode—tweaking, refining, and second-guessing—while others launch, scale, and dominate. The difference? A clear, strategic approach that moves fast. In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact steps to take your tech idea from concept to cashflow without wasting months (or years) figuring it out. 🛠 Step 1: Validate Your Idea Before you build, test it. Find the gaps, talk to real users, and make sure people actually want what you’re selling. 🚀 Step 2: Develop a Clear Strategy Tech is only as good as the business behind it. Nail your positioning, pricing, and go-to-market plan from day one. 💡 Step 3: Build an MVP That Sells Forget perfection. The goal is a version that gets customers in, money flowing, and proof that your idea works. 📢 Step 4: Market with Purpose Virality isn’t a strategy. Learn how to create demand, build community, and make your product the obvious choice. 💰 Step 5: Scale with Strategy Monetisation, community-building, and partnerships—this is how startups go from scrappy to industry leaders. If you’re sitting on an idea but don’t know how to make it real, this one’s for you. DM me “BUILD” on Instagram @jennaannedavies and let’s map it out Hosted on Acast.
