In episode eight of The Flipside, hosts Sali Sasi and Julie Stevanja are joined by Lana Hopkins and Juliana Di Simone. the co-founders of web3 platform some·place

Looking in on the metaverse as a newcomer (and speaking only for myself), it can feel like a highly masculine space, with people like Mark Zuckerberg and the likes of Jake Paul already staking their claim in the new world. But some·place is doing things differently, by creating a limitless destination in web3 that feels human and approachable for women and underrepresented people.

The key ingredients in their “pie” and what makes some·place so unique and special is the way they have approached the design, by considering it as a foundational element in the product, rather than an afterthought.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:
The challenges female founders face when seeking out funding for a new business.
How some·place is humanising web3.
What it really means to interact with the digital world in 2022.

Welcome to The Flipside, With Sali Sasi and Julie Stevanja

The Flipside, with Her Black Book, a podcast powered by Samsung Galaxy and presented by POPSUGAR Australia is hosted by entrepreneurs and twin sisters, Sali Sasi and Julie Stevanja. 

Joined by a different influential guest across business, brands and technology each week, Sali and Julie — who launched two wildly successful tech companies — Stylerunner and Her Black Book, ask their guests to share all the challenges they faced (and continue to face) as tech entrepreneurs, as well as the tips they’ve picked up as business owners over the past decade. 

Over eight episodes, Sali and Julie will lift the lid on the thrills and spills that come with building and working in a tech-driven business. You’ll learn how to make your tech business thrive, hearing from the likes of Sunroom co-founders Michelle Battersby and Lucy Mort, Anna Hoang, founder of Australian label Anna Quan, plus Lillian Ahenkan (aka Flex Mami), a media personality, author, and radio host of Flex and Froomes on CADA. 

Each week, The Flipside will serve up the whole story, deep diving into the philosophies and mindsets of successful entrepreneurs and creators. You’ll hear all about the highs, the lows and most importantly, their learnings.

The Flipside, with Her Black Book, a podcast powered by Samsung Galaxy and presented by POPSUGAR Australia is hosted by entrepreneurs and twin sisters, Sali Sasi and Julie Stevanja. Joined by a different influential guest across business, brands and technology each week, Sali and Julie — who launched two wildly successful tech companies — Stylerunner and Her Black Book, ask their guests to share all the challenges they faced (and continue to face) as tech entrepreneurs, as well as the tips they’ve picked up as business owners over the past decade. 
Over eight episodes, Sali and Julie will lift the lid on the thrills and spills that come with building and working in a tech-driven business. You’ll learn how to make your tech business thrive, hearing from the likes of Sunroom co-founders Michelle Battersby and Lucy Mort, Anna Hoang, founder of Australian label Anna Quan, plus Lillian Ahenkan (aka Flex Mami), a media personality, author, and radio host of Flex and Froomes on CADA. Each week, The Flipside will serve up the whole story, deep diving into the philosophies and mindsets of successful entrepreneurs and creators. You’ll hear all about the highs, the lows and most importantly, their learnings.
