Advertise on podcast: Everything in Between

We’ve both learned pretty quickly that there’s no perfect formula for running a business. You can read the books, make the plans and wait until everything feels right, but at some point you just have to start and figure things out along the way. Between us, we’ve made mistakes, changed direction, questioned decisions and learned plenty of lessons the hard way. We talk about what those experiences have taught us and why getting things wrong can sometimes be one of the most valuable parts of building something of your own. A big part of that has been learning what actually makes a business work behind the scenes. We talk about choosing the right business partner, understanding each other’s strengths, having honest conversations, putting systems and processes in place and creating an experience that makes people want to stay with you. We also reflect on meeting our team in the Philippines and how that experience changed the way we look at what we’re building. What started as a business to create the life we wanted has grown into something that feels like it has a much bigger purpose. We’re also still learning how to build a business without letting it take over everything else. For Bella, that means learning when to switch off and leave something until tomorrow. For Kylie, it’s making space to think, be creative and come up with what’s next. We’re at different stages of our business journeys, but we both keep coming back to the same thing. You don’t need to know exactly where you’re going before you begin. Start, learn, make the mistakes, listen to the people around you and keep evolving as you go. “You've just got to start. You've got to start messy, and you've got to fail and fail and fail and fail again.” Kylie Walker We cover: The business lessons we’ve learned the hard way Why there’s no perfect formula for starting or running a business Starting before you feel ready and learning as you go Why making mistakes and failing can be part of finding success Choosing the right business partner Understanding each other’s strengths and having different roles in the business The importance of systems and processes as your business grows Building a business around solving a real problem How Done For You Services and the Tasker team evolved Meeting our team in the Philippines and finding a bigger purpose behind the business Creating a strong team culture and supporting work life balance Why customer experience and long term relationships matter Communication, listening and empathy in business Navigating difficult decisions without reacting emotionally Learning when to switch off and create boundaries around work Making space for creativity, new ideas and what’s next Work With Us Running a business is hard enough without trying to do everything yourself.

There’s so much about life with a professional athlete that people don’t really see from the outside. We’ve both experienced it at very different stages of our lives, and in this conversation we share what that has actually looked like for us. From moving cities and building a life around football to injuries, career changes and the emotional side of supporting someone you love through the highs and lows, there’s a lot that comes with it. We also talk about something we’ve both experienced very differently, which is maintaining your own identity while supporting your partner and their career. We share what we’ve learned about boundaries, communication, friendships and having your own goals outside of your relationship. Kylie reflects on the things she would do differently looking back, while Bella shares how she’s learned to support Sam while still making space for her own life, friendships and ambitions. Of course, it hasn’t all been hard. There have been some amazing experiences, friendships, travel and memories that have come with being part of the professional sporting world too. We also get into some of the funny parts of family life, the realities people might not expect and a few stories we probably haven’t shared before. We’ve had very different experiences across two generations, but one thing we both agree on is that you can fully support someone else’s dream without losing sight of your own. “You’re supporting them 100% of the way. They’ve also got to give back and support you as well and support your dreams and ambitions. You can't just put your life on hold because of them.” Bella Allan We cover: Life behind the scenes with a professional athlete How Kylie and Bella’s experiences compare across two different generations Kylie’s early relationship with Ben and moving to England while pregnant Bella and Sam’s relationship and navigating the NRL during COVID The emotional impact of injuries and supporting your partner through recovery The realities and sacrifices that come with a professional sporting career Navigating retirement and life after professional sport Maintaining your own identity while supporting your partner Setting boundaries and communicating what you need in a relationship Balancing your own career, friendships and ambitions with your partner’s career The financial realities of professional sport that people don’t always see The friendships, travel and opportunities that come with the sporting world The misconceptions around being a professional athlete’s partner Family life, relationships and some funny stories about Sam growing up Why supporting someone else’s dream doesn’t mean putting your own life on hold Work With Us Running a business is hard enough without trying to do everything yourself.

Life rarely turns out exactly how we imagined it would. Despite being nearly 30 years apart in age and at completely different stages of life, we’ve found ourselves navigating many of the same things. Business, relationships, ambition, self-doubt and the constant question of what we actually want our lives to look like. For our first conversation, we wanted to share a little more about who we are, how we became family and business partners, and why we decided to start Everything in Between. We talk about the reality of building a business and how much of it you simply learn along the way. There are great seasons and really difficult ones, moments where you question yourself and times when the biggest thing standing in your way is your own thinking. We reflect on motherhood, career changes, leadership, working together as family, learning to ask for help and trusting yourself enough to take the next step, even when you don’t have everything figured out. That’s really what we want Everything in Between to be about. Honest conversations about business, relationships, family, success, burnout, boundaries and all the parts of life we’re still figuring out ourselves. We’re coming at these conversations from two different generations and two very different stages of life, but as we’re learning, we have more in common than we thought. We don’t have all the answers, and we’re not pretending to. We’re just having the conversations, sharing what we’ve learned and talking about everything in between. “A lot of us, we hold back from living the life that we really want to live because of these stories and these things that we tell ourselves. There is nothing holding us back except for our own minds.” Kylie Walker We cover: Why we decided to start Everything in BetweenHow we became family and business partnersOur different journeys into business and entrepreneurshipThe emotional highs and lows of running a businessLearning that business, just like life, comes in seasonsLimiting beliefs, self-doubt and learning to back yourselfMotherhood, career and finding what feels right for youThe differences between our generations, especially around communication and asking for helpStepping into leadership and navigating team dynamicsWorking together as family and setting boundaries between work and personal lifeWhy you don’t need to have everything figured outHow unexpected jobs, experiences and difficult chapters can shape where you end upTrusting your instincts and being willing to start before everything feels perfect Work With Us Running a business is hard enough without trying to do everything yourself.
