From pioneering neoprene cuts and the influencer effect, Erin Deering, alongside her co-founder, successfully grew Triangl swimwear into a USD$200 million-valued company that gained cult status with women around the world.

Following her exit in 2018, Erin went on a four-year journey of self-discovery after experiencing the highest of highs and the lowest of lows and now, is launching a strategic advisory business to educate other women on how to achieve balance, while simultaneously chasing their dreams.

Through one on one workshops, online and group sessions, the business will build a community and allow women to connect, while providing mentoring on four main facets of life - motherhood, business, wellness/mental health and fashion.

Noah Hunter Dorsey is the founder of Future Fulfilment and a 29 year old entrepreneur selected in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2025, working with major brands including Vegemite, the AFL, and many more.

This is a playbook for building multi-million dollar companies before 30.

An alarming 6,200 NSW businesses went insolvent in 2025.

My latest guest on The Mentor was one of the business owners who had to shut down his business in 2025.

In this episode, Dean reflects on the journey of building Living Timber Co from $26 and a garage into a business delivering national projects, before the difficult decision to place the company into liquidation.

We explore what happens when passion meets rapid growth, rising interest rates and the quiet pressure many founders carry to do everything themselves. Dean speaks candidly about burnout, the warning signs he overlooked, and why he now views the experience as a failure without regrets, not something to be ashamed of, but something to learn from and move on from.
