Today on the podcast, I speak with Zoë Williams, co-founder of Zoe & Morgan, a consciously created jewellery brand she runs alongside her siblings, Ruth and Morgan.

For 20 years, Zoe & Morgan have been crafting jewellery that celebrates connections and stories,  showcasing a vibrant and fully-fledged expression of craftsmanship, individuality, and connection

We talk about:

🤍  The foundations and values that guide every decision
👪  What it takes to build a family-led business with your siblings
🌿  Honouring craftsmanship and connection
🏠  Balancing motherhood and growth
✨  What success really means to her

I adored talking with Zoë. This was such a thoughtful and gentle conversation, Zoe is so genuine and so generous with her time and her story.

Zoë Williams - Zoe & Morgan  |   A family-led business honouring craftsmanship and connection

Today on the podcast, I speak with Sarah Meikle, founder of All India Permit Tours, a specialist travel business creating small group tours and tailor-made holidays to India.

After a long career in tourism and marketing, including 15 years with Wellington on a Plate, Sarah decided it was time for something new. With a long-standing love of India, she took the leap and turned that passion into a business of her own.

In this episode, we talk about:

✈️ Turning a lifelong passion into a viable business
💡 Knowing when it’s time for a new chapter in your career
📣 Finding customers and building trust and credibility
📱 Marketing a business when you’re the person behind everything
🙌 Going from a senior role to doing it all yourself

Sarah is a great example of someone who has taken her experience, backed herself and built a business around something she genuinely loves. And you can hear just how much she loves what she does.

Whether you’re thinking about turning a passion into a business or navigating your own next chapter, there’s plenty to take away from this conversation.

Sarah is currently in India, so it’s the perfect time to follow along at @allindiapermittours. And if India has been on your travel wish list, this episode might just be the nudge you need to start planning that trip!

Eva Nash and Kate Rogan are the founders and directors of Rogan Nash, an award-winning residential architecture and interiors practice based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

💡 Their creative process, including how they reset and trust their instincts
📐 Bringing architecture and interiors together as one process

Eva Nash & Kate Rogan - Rogan Nash | Growing a creative partnership that lasts

Today on the podcast, I speak with Sasha McLeod, founder of DoseBuddy, a reusable medicine syringe for kids, with numbers that never rub off and a cap that stops the mess.

In this episode, Sasha takes us through the journey from that 2am frustration to a fully realised, regulated medical product.

We talk about:

🍼  How she validated her idea
💸  Using PledgeMe to fund the first manufacturing run
📢  Building a brand and community by sharing it all publicly, delays included
📱  Her approach to digital marketing and founder-led content
👶🏻  Juggling a full-time job, motherhood, and building a business on the side

Sasha is so open and honest about the process, and because digital marketing is her actual day job, this episode ends up being as much a masterclass in brand and social strategy as it is a founder story.

I know you'll love my korero with Sasha as much as I did.

After the episode, head to dosebuddy.co to check out this amazing new product for yourself (already a staple in my home), and follow @dosebuddy on Instagram to follow along the journey as Sasha grows her brand.
