Today’s episode focuses on an everyday accessible solution that provides the GIFT of health and wellness services to support to those who need it.

This is something that can be integrated into any Workplace Wellness Program and shared with our family, friends and communities.

Nikki Williams is a repeat entrepreneur, marketer and health and wellness advocate who has recently launched Mentwell;a digital gift card for health and wellness serviceswhere the receiver gets to choose how they redeem, at any service provider, Australia-wide.

This means GPs, dentists, psychologists, all Allied Health, all alternative and complementary therapies, gyms, yoga and pilates studios, wellness centres, retreats and more.

It's evident that Nikki has a unique ability to use her life experiences as a way of fuelling her passion when it comes to her work life. First, music was a coping mechanism to deal with a challenging family situation; so she became a music manager and PR professional. Then she dove head first into hospitality as a job, but realised she wanted to help hospitality owners and operators, so she started a successful digital marketing agency for this sector. Then wellness became important during a particularly difficult time during Covid, so she created a kids yoga mat company and started building Mentwell.

Now Nikki is on a mission to make wellness the 3.0 of gifting.We've had material gifts like flowers and chocolates, then we moved to experience based gifting like hot air balloon rides, and now gifting wellness allows one another to potentially change the lives of those around us.

Just 22 weeks after launching Mentwell, Nikki and her team have $5.8m in sales revenue secured for 2024 and are raising $1.5m through a Birchal crowdfunding campaign in May, 2024. Nikki dreams of being able to be a philanthropist as a full time job, helping to increase the global health and wellness of our communities, in particular those who are less fortunate or disadvantaged.

Nikki has continuously used her intuition and curiosity to create businesses and she's excited to share her journey with Mentwell so far with our community.

During our dynamic conversation, we dive into:
The significant changes taking place in the health and wellbeing space
The power of gifting Mentwell, Australia’s FIRST Health and Wellness Gift Card
What choosing to align with Mentwell could mean for your business
How embracing discipline rather than motivation can be transformational in each of our lives
And so much more.

Nikki Williams, Founder of Mentwell | Conscious Gift Giving Through Health & Wellness

For anyone in business, this will be one of the most profound and moving episodes that you will listen to all year.

Erin Deering, the accomplished Australian entrepreneur and co-founder of the renowned global swimwear brand, Triangl, has left a permanent mark on the fashion industry. Her innovative use of neoprene cuts and strategic embrace of the influencer effect propelled Triangl to cult status, culminating in a staggering valuation of USD$200 million. Yet, amidst the resounding success, Erin, like many women striving to 'have it all,' discovered the profound personal sacrifices that accompanied her professional journey.

Feeling "totally broken" after years of relentless brand growth, Erin made a pivotal decision to step away from Triangl at its peak. This marked the beginning of an intensive period of self-discovery, during which she explored various avenues, including meditation, manifestation, and traditional therapy. Through this transformative process, Erin emerged with a rekindled sense of passion and purpose.

In 2023, she launched a podcast titled "The Work," where she generously shared insights on business, personal development, and self-care. Erin, a multifaceted individual, has also embraced roles as a speaker, entrepreneur, mentor, and author. Her memoir, "Hanging By A Thread," recently claimed the #1 spot on Booktopia's charts.

This year, Erin gears up to unveil her eagerly anticipated fashion brand in September. This venture reflects her unwavering commitment to blending style with substance, embodying the lessons learned from her remarkable journey.

During this dynamic conversation, we dive into:
The inspiration behind Erin’s book, Hanging by a Thread
The highs and lows of growing the iconic Australian swimwear brand Triangl
The experience of exiting Triangl and how it was navigated
Erin’s healing journey from hanging by a thread to having it all 
The exciting upcoming launch of Erin's new fashion brand
