What does it take to build a business that makes a real difference? And how do you balance a strong sense of purpose with the financial realities of keeping a business running?

In the first episode of Extraordinary Business Stories, Sean Aylmer and Michael Thompson speak with two State Winners of the 2026 Telstra Best of Business Awards: Lindsay Marchment from The Man Cave, Victorian Change Award Winner, and Clare Lilley from Hobart Exercise Physiology, Tasmanian Change Award Winner.

They discuss the impact of their work, the challenges of funding and growth, how they measure success, and why building the right team and culture matters just as much as the bottom line.
