Strap in for this one ‘cause today’s guest is a woman who does not shy away from inspiring reinvention – she’s the creator of The Lazy Prospector and incredible multi-hyphenate, Melissa Hobbs.

Mel has dedicated her time to making the world a better place for animals, co-founding Meat Free Week (which you may have heard of before!), then launching The Vegan Company, a no-judgement zone that connected people with the ever-growing collection of plant-based inspiration and information.

She’s on the board of the not for profit ‘Til The Cows Come Home, which rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes unwanted farm animals – where she adopted her glorious pet pig George. But wait, there’s more…

After leaving the bustling streets of Sydney for the serenity of coastal-country living in Northern NSW, she’s taken an active role in the business she co-founded over 20 years ago, e-fragrance, a beauty supplier to Australia’s leading corporate reward programs.

And she’s now preparing to open the doors of the The Lazy Prospector, her stunning, cozy cabin tucked in Tasmania’s rugged West Coast

Mel’s story of embracing change is so inspiring, as is her beautiful shack @thelazyprospector

A business podcast for the brave self-employed.

Growing your own business can be one of the most gratifying, wonderful, life-changing experiences around. It’s also scary as hell. This is a weekly podcast for the ones who have made the brave decision to employ themselves anyway.

We're for the full gamut of business experience - from Solopreneurs, Side-hustlers, Micro-business, Small Business, Medium business, Independent, VC backed, Bootstrapped and more - here for the real stories and priceless insights of it all, well beyond the PR headlines.

Join fellow business-builder and side-hustler Kim Kerton as she dives into the realities of starting something from scratch, helping you feel less alone in the lows and reminding you of the highs that make it all worthwhile. Hear real talk and raw feels from people right in the thick of it and feel seen as you listen.

Small business is tough - all business is tough - it will be one of the most intense things you'll ever do but it will also be the most impactful experience you can imagine. So surround yourself with a community of business owners willing to share with you their learnings, from those a few steps ahead, to many business milestones ahead, and even those just behind, and feel supported to build the business of your unique dreams. 

This is a podcast built to support you to build your own small business, to tackle the statistics and keep more of us in business for ourselves. To say thanks, you can support this independent podcast and small business by shouting your host a cuppa at buymeacoffee.com/unemployedpod

Get in touch at unemployedandafraid.com.au to be part of the show or to become a sponsor (we would love the support!).
