Listen Later

Hey Book Lovers! You’re listening to a #GrowGetters Book Club episode! Each month, we unpack, dissect, and discuss some of the hottest non-fiction releases that have the potential to positively impact your careers, and your lives!


Today, we are discussing REWORK by the incredibly inspirational founders of tech company, Basecamp, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson!


Basecamp is the stupidly simple, yet powerfully productive software that helps teams get organised, communicate, and get stuff done! Tiffany and I MASSIVE fangirls of Basecamp (yep, major nerd alert here!!) and we are absolute devotees of their seminal business book - REWORK - which we are so excited to feature on the #GrowGetters Book Club today!


REWORK was first published a decade ago, but it is so progressive, forward-thinking, and revolutionary, it feels extremely contemporary and extra poignant in today’s working climate.


REWORK is almost like the “anti-business book” because of its strong opinions on some of the traditional stalwarts of the modern workplace, and of business strategy in general.


It rejects the status quo, and uses the experience both authors have gleaned from creating Basecamp, to prove that things CAN be done differently, and you can STILL be successful.


But before we dive in, we have a very special guest joining us! Amber Bonney is the Founder and Managing Director of the award-winning business, The Edison Agency. She is a branding and identity strategist, guest lecturer, speaker, and current President of the Creative Women’s Circle - one of Australia’s largest communities of women working in the creative industries - AND a proud partner of the #GrowGetters podcast.


Amber is known for her brand prowess, developing outstanding creative solutions to her clients’ real commercial problems, and delivering human-centered, relevant, and differentiated experiences for their users.

With over 20 years’ experience across diverse industry sectors, Amber is passionate about marrying both traditional and disruptive design methods that activate, provoke, and inspire. In a nutshell, she is a brand-building powerhouse, helping organisations to connect, transform, excite, gain trust, disrupt, transform, and be seen!

And of course, as always, you’ll be hearing from, Tanya Garma, and Tiffany Hart - co-hosts of the #GrowGetters podcast.


So ladies, let’s get started - come and join the discussion about the brilliant book REWORK.
