After 35 years in radio, Jay-Jay Feeney decided it was time to start again.

In this episode of Make It Happen, I sit down with Jay-Jay to talk about what it takes to walk away from a career that has defined such a huge part of your life and back yourself to build something new.

We get into burnout, mental health, dealing with criticism and haters, launching her own podcast and stepping into business as co-founder of PodLab - alongside her ex-husband, Dom Harvey.

Jay-Jay also opens up about navigating huge periods of change and why starting again doesn’t mean everything you’ve done before was wasted.

This is a conversation about reinvention, backing yourself and having the courage to take a different path - no matter how established you already are.

Jay-Jay Feeney: Starting Again After 35 Years in Radio

The big question: Do you need millions to make your brand famous, or just a really clever idea? 

What does a $50 million bra, McDonald's ending a 32-year partnership and Duolingo hijacking Apple's iPhone launch have in common? They're all making headlines for some seriously interesting marketing decisions.

Welcome to The Business Breakdown! A new series where we unpack the biggest business stories, viral marketing moments and bold moves from the world's biggest brands — and reveal what you as an entrepreneur can actually learn from them.

In this episode we're diving into Victoria's Secret's outrageous $50 million Fantasy Bra worn by Kylie Jenner, why McDonald's is walking away from its FIFA World Cup sponsorship after 32 years, how Duolingo turned Apple's product launch into its own marketing opportunity, and why luxury car brand Bentley is getting into iced coffee.

From publicity stunts and guerrilla marketing to the psychology behind billion-dollar branding decisions - we share the entrepreneurial perspective including how I also once spent $300,000 getting Kylie Jenner to wear my own shapewear brand.

Whether you're building a business, working in marketing or simply love understanding the strategy behind the headlines, this episode is packed with practical lessons you can apply to your own brand.

The $50 Million Bra & Other Genius Marketing Moves Explained

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your circumstances, your experience or your resources, but the way you think?

Your mindset influences everything from the opportunities you notice to the decisions you make and the actions you take. And the scary part? Most of us don't even realise how much our own thoughts are working against us.

In this episode of Make It Happen, I'm breaking down the psychology behind mindset, why our brains are wired to reinforce what we already believe, and how you can start changing those thought patterns to work in your favour.

I'll also share a surprisingly simple exercise you can start today to become more intentional about what you focus on, and why asking yourself "What if it works out?" might be one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make.

Whether you're thinking about starting a business, struggling with self-doubt or ready to take your next big step, this episode will help you stop letting your thoughts hold you back and start building a mindset that supports your success.

My 3 Tricks to Reprogram Your Mind for Success

What does it really take to build a million-dollar business? And what are the lessons you only learn by actually doing it?

I've built businesses across multiple industries, from shapewear and e-commerce to haircare, beverages and education. But behind every success have been plenty of mistakes, setbacks and lessons I wish I'd known sooner.

In this episode, I'm answering six of the most common questions I get from business owners and sharing the biggest lessons I've learnt along the way.

We get into why focus is more important than having a million ideas, the traits that separate successful entrepreneurs from everyone else, how to overcome imposter syndrome and how to get the attention of people who could open doors for your business.

I also share the three signs I look for to know whether a business is actually on the right track, why making sales doesn't necessarily mean you're building a successful business, and what continues to motivate me after achieving some of my biggest financial goals.

Whether you're just starting out, struggling to grow or wondering what comes next, this episode is packed with practical advice, honest reflections and lessons you can apply to your own business today.
