  • This time, we are talking neurodivergence with Dr. Lorien Parker, aka Dr. Loz.

    Lorien is the founder of SciencePlay Kids, a company she founded 9 years ago for ALL BRAINS and ALL learners type to engage with Science and learn. And she did so with zero prior experience in business or education but she jumped right in the deep end and followed her passion for science to help neurodivergent learners and she knows all about it because she has ADHD and is autistic herself and the mother of neurodivergent kids.

    Lorien is the one of many women who left academia after having kids because academia just is not designed to accommodate for parents and she did not want to choose being her work and her family. No one should really!

    Anyway, she takes us through her first step, the business model she thought she would follow which turned out to be her unicorn model but not sustainable but listen up for Lorien as she nailed the business pivot! Best pivot ever which now allow Lorien to be her best self, empower students and schools with a Win Win model funded by corporates!


    Tune in for Lorien's founder story which come with the blessing of embracing her way of working, surrounding herself with the people who can bridge her gaps. Great lessons on tweaking your business model as hers really evolved to an offering she could not have thought of before being buried into delivery of her initial model first.

    Alison Gartner, the co-founder of Evidently, an Australian Start-up whose technology can analyse complex health care data to guide clinicians in their practice.

    This is a holy grail in healthcare data because we are now generating more data than ever, and we don’t tap into the full potential of these so called "data lakes" due to the difficulty of standardising, cleaning and linking different data sets to produce actual actionable insights.

    And then who owns the data? With Evidentli, there is no exchange of data, the medical centre will use their own data and question it in their own way.

    There are companies doing some of this out there, but there is a big need for a fast reliable and robust technology, that can be used by the clinicians themselves, with adaptable parameters to tweak questions to reflect real clinical scenario.

     

    Alison has unique perspective because she has both experience as a co-founder and has an investment manager! So she has seen it all before and now it is unravelling for her. Awesome Multiple Hats insights there.

     

    She recounts the investment landscape 10-15 years ago and tells us about the in and out of building a product that people want to use, including finding your early adopters.

     

    I also loved her insight on how a double degree in science and finance paved the way for her unique career!

     

    Listen up for a truly insightful journey

  • Have you ever thought of a brilliant idea as a rough gemstone?

    That's a what Natalie Chapman, the founder of Gemaker, thinks researchers and inventors have, a rough gem that needs a great deal of polishing before becoming an actual Gem.

    With a bachelor in chemistry, an MBA and a decade of marketing, communication and tech transfer experience, she decided that there was a better way to accelerate this process and founded Gemaker ! A successful commercialization agency, helping researchers and innovative businesses take their tech ideas to the people they can help.

    Gemaker has been in the business for over 12 years and employs around 20 people with many different expertise.

    The team won multiple awards including the Telstra Business award for microbusiness, and winning this award was definitely a great boost in credibility and associated business.

  • Deep Tech aspiring founders, this one is for you!

    Some people fall into their PhD, following the next logical step after their Honours or Masters.

    Some people fall into it because they are not sure what job to go after yet.

    Not Dharmica Mistry, she wanted to go into nutrition but didn't get in the course so instead of ruminating she picked subjects which were close to what it would have looked like in the nutrition degree and fell in love with microbiology in the process. After graduating she was not keen on a PhD either because she felt she could not see the impact of such work in a near future.

    But her first job at a biotech changed her mind when she did a discovery which had such a great potential to change the odds of aggressive breast cancer in women under 50 with a simple blood test.

    With this mission in mind, she co-founded BCAL diagnostics, a diagnostic company looking to detect breast cancer early with a blood test.

    If you have heard of the valley of death, you would know that deep tech has many of these because proving the science and making it robust is a really challenging task. It can't "just" work, it has to work in a clinical setting, which means at scale and speed for a diagnostic lab to work with it. It needs a great amount of fundings and so her PhD was a great way to get to validate the science and make this further fundable.

     

    Dharmica takes us through the journey of a deep tech founders and the crucial steps that make you or brake your start-up.

    Happy listening!

    You can learn more about Dharmica and her current role as a Director Diagnostics Industry Engagement at MTP connect and about BCAL diagnostics.

  • If you had many jobs in your field but somehow can't land on a single definition of yourself, you're not alone.

    You probably belong to the people who could thrive with a "portfolio career", that is a career which is not limited to one job or one stream of income but rather made of multiple pieces of yourself and all the hats that you can wear.

    That's definitely what Sue Pillans realised when after 10 years of employment, something did not feel quite right but then she went back to her roots and was able to combine the multiple pieces of her character puzzle into just the perfect career path - one she designed herself, one that could mirror of her strengths and values.

    That's how she decided to be a graphic recorder, running her own business, and has now worked with over 60 organisation across Asia Pacific to capture very important messages about the marine ecosystem and how she created Dr. Suzie Starfish, a book writer and illustrator of children book educating young audience and their parents about climate change and marine pollution.

     

    I love her motto - "Make the complex simple and the simple compelling" !

     

    Tune in for life changing events and courageous acts.

  • Welcome to multiple hats. A show about STEMM professionals who have gone off script and carved their own path beyond the tracks that were set for them. Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine. How they found their why and what it takes to make it happen.

     

    Did you ever consider that mothers represent 30% of the global population? And yet there isn't many specific services to support them. That's what Oriane Junker could not believe and so Oriane pivoted from medical advisor in the pharmaceutical industry to create Spotz, a social business aiming to empower mothers to earn on their own terms through an mum to mum marketplace and a wholistic community where mothers can support each other's.

    Oriane take us through how she always had many business ideas and drafted many business plans but never had a strong motivation to execute any of them until she found her why when she experienced a strong discrimination at work after returning from maternity leave. We get to hear so many practical aspects of her founding journey, from business plan, feasibility, growing the customer base to 28,000 members and 170,000 visitors 2 years in and finally pitching for capital.

  • Dream Big, Think Big.

    Have you ever been told that you should start small? Well, Heather Catchpole and her co-founder Karen Taylor Brown, went past that advice and were rather "Unapologetically ambitious" to quote Shellye Archambeau, former IBM CEO would say in her leadership book.

It is now distributing 2M magazines globally, with 75,000 digital users per month and they are working with over 200 clients including giants like Google.

    Heather shares how her and her co-founder Karen brainstormed that idea in a pub, as one does, and used their decade long experience in media to pulled off a successful profitable business, and achieve global distribution within 2 years!
