Dynamic Business Podcast

We know that for many Australian small businesses, expanding globally can be difficult – to say the least – as it presents many challenging barriers.

Charles Heunemann, co-founder, Vice President and Managing Director (AU) of Natterbox, helps us out with this, giving his advice from his own experience of growing Natterbox internationally.

Natterbox is a global business phone system, 100% embedded and managed within Salesforce. So, naturally, we also delve into how small businesses can excel at customer service…

Charles is a self-taught tech expert, and his background is marketing and sales, so he has a breadth of knowledge to share for Australian small businesses.

In this podcast Dynamic Business we ask how small Australian businesses can build a customer base outside of Australia and why this is critically important to all new startups in 2019.

In this latest episode of the Dynamic Business Podcast, we speak with marketing expert Laura Craig.

Laura founded her own company, Vivo Marketing, three years ago. We found out more about the journey of building up her business and her decision to sell 50% of Vivo Marketing to a larger organisation recently. In the interview, we go through all of the ups and downs, the motivation behind it all and the lessons learned – all so that we can share them with you! 

We specifically focus on digging up the main tips for how small businesses can make the most of their marketing budget – especially in the early days when you’re juggling multiple projects and aren’t sure where to even start with marketing!

In this Dynamic Business podcast episode, we speak to Stevan Premutico about the struggles of a startup journey, his learnings in founding and growing Dimmi and his new venture me&u (including why he chose to pursue it, instead of his other 33 ideas!)

We discuss how you know pursuing an idea is right, what the motivation should be behind building your business, the struggles of rejection in the early stages and more.

In this episode, we speak to Tessa Court, who is the CEO and founder of IntelligenceBank.

IntelligenceBank is a Melbourne startup founded in 2009 which helps content marketers manage digital assets, creative content approvals and compliance, and creative project management.

IntelligenceBank also helps marketers ensure that their content meets standards set by industry regulators. With that in mind, IntelligenceBank’s typical clients operate in regulated industries such as financial services, health care, travel and food processing & manufacturing.

Tessa started the company to come up with a solution to problems she experienced while running sales operations for a startup.

Prior to IntelligenceBank, Tessa was a member of the Executive Team at Hitwise, an audience measurement firm, where she managed the global expansion of the company into Asia, the US and the UK.

We talk all things marketing, compliance and workplace culture. 

In this podcast episode, we interview and chat with Olivia Molesworth, who is the youngest female fintech entrepreneur in Australia at age 23.

Olivia founded Bromleigh Capital last year when she identified a need for young Australian eCommerce startups to access capital in order to scale. Bromleigh Capital is the first ethical financier for eCommerce and digital businesses.

She raised close to $1m through angel investment, with a further major capital raise currently being undertaken.

We asked her what is was like to be the youngest female fintech entrepreneur, whether she sees her age as a challenge in the industry and importantly we ask her for her insider tips on how startups can access funding ethically and safely.

Dynamic Business editor Loren Webb interviews Jessy Marshall, Public Relations expert and business owner. 

We discuss Jessy’s PR tips for small businesses including what the benefits of PR are, when you should engage in PR and how to fight the right agency or consultant for your needs.

Jessy also shares her story on launching her own PR agency, HIVE HQ, which recently celebrated its first birthday. She talks about how she overcame her biggest challenge in building her business: her mindset.

We interview Petr Adamek, the CEO at the Canberra Innovation Network who has both an extensive computer science & AI background and business background.

Petr has a fascinating story of how he got to where he is now, and shares the experience and knowledge from his 20 year career on how to grow businesses. 

His current CEO role is due to simple Twitter networking and co-working spaces, and Petr talks about how important networking is in the startup phase and how you can find networking opportunities in your area.
