Bonnie, Lana and Erin have been best friends for close to 20 years. They’ve seen each other through the rollercoaster ride of life: marriage, babies and careers.

In 2014, they took a leap of faith - together - quitting their day jobs in Sydney to create Three Birds Renovations. Bonnie doing the styling and designs, Lana across sales and marketing, and Erin on operations.

Before they knew it the trio had bought, renovated and sold their first property. Fast forward to today and that small business is now a global juggernaut. They’ve transformed 14 beautiful houses, they're helping to smash the gender stereotype in the building game with tens of thousands of women taking part in their online courses, like The Reno School, they’ve authored two books, one of which is Australia’s best selling home improvement title, and they’ve become social media sensations - with their videos watched in more than 110 countries.

In this chat with Bonnie and Lana we talk about the early days: gambling a cushy corporate gig to go out alone; the pros and cons of setting up a business with your best mates; their tools for staying inspired and overcoming confidence slumps - even when your company is a huge success - and the realisation that they are living the dream… even though it’s taken a whole lot of blood, sweat and tears.
