This episode will inspire you to take a step back, reflect on your work or business, and think of innovative ways to disrupt the traditional, perhaps broken, business model you are working in.

 

I interview Mellissa Larkin, Founder and Managing Director of legal firm Peripheral Blue.

 

In this episode, she talks about disrupting the traditional, Partner-centric legal firm model.   Her vision is wonderful – focused not on how her firm is going to bill the next 6-minute increment, but by being laser focussed on her client’s perspective and on the wellbeing of her staff.  A real challenge to all the traditional legal firms around the world.

Until next time….keep INNOVATING, OVERCOMING and PROSPERING

The Self Made Theory

Mellissa Larkin from "Peripheral Blue"

Ever wanted to completely change your career direction?  Or maybe you have a hobby which you would love to turn into an actual business?

 

Well, that’s what happened to Richard Cooper, who founded the artisan knife making business, Dog Boy Knives.  What he produces has to be seen to be believed (check out the photos on my website) – these amazing chef and other knives are handcrafted into practical works of art (with some made of 80 layers of Damascus Steel, which was used in sword making centuries ago).  They’re used by chefs around the world (you might even find a few in Michelin starred restaurant kitchens).

 

Richard and I talk about:

 
How he left a good-paying job to start a passion business (something that resonates with my own story)
The Importance of Mentors
The pursuit of quality means that what you made 2 years ago isn’t likely to be something you’re happy with today
How Family & friends are often the 1st customers of a new start-up

 

If you want to find out more about Dog Boy Knives, head to our website www.theselfmadetheory.com/podcast where we have some very cool photos, plus all the ways you can engage with Richard.

 

Until next time….keep INNOVATING, OVERCOMING and PROSPERING

This week on The Self Made Theory, I chat with Kelly Jamieson, co-founder of Edible Blooms!  A totally amazing, unique gift business in Australia, the UK & New Zealand.

 

Kelly runs her business from both her office in Adelaide and from her farm, which she has done so for 10 years.  While you can imagine how prepared she was for Covid19 having a home office, based on her business model, there are just some things that can’t be done remotely.

 

I also chat with Kelly about other things she has faced building her business, including a rebranding disaster, how and what happens when your workforce is predominantly female.

 

Since meeting Kelly, I reckon I’ve had at least 3 occasions where I’ve needed to get a gift for someone – 1 locally and 2 interstate.  So, of course, I just had to try out Edible Blooms.  And they didn’t disappoint – those who received the gifts loved them.

 

I want to thank Kelly for an engaging, open conversation – you are going to love her insight.

 

Until next time...keep INNOVATING, OVERCOMING and PROSPERING
