  • Impact Edit: Jam the Label - The Power Of A Purpose Driven Brand

    Welcome to Impact Edit, where we bring you the most powerful insights and golden nuggets from our impactful conversations with thought leaders and changemakers in the fashion industry.  We are revisiting a remarkable episode that left a lasting impression.


    In this snippet from our original podcast episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Molly Rogers and Emma Clegg, the inspiring co-founders of JAM the label. Their journey began with a shared passion for occupational therapy and a deep empathy for young people with disabilities.


    Molly and Emma recognized the challenges faced by individuals in wheelchairs when it came to finding fashionable and functional clothing. They refused to accept compromise and embarked on a mission to create inclusive fashion for young people with disabilities. Thus, JAM the label was born in 2019, named after two remarkable teenagers, Jack and Maddie.


    With design features like magnetic closures, side-zip jackets, and pants tailored for seated comfort, JAM has redefined inclusivity in fashion. Starting with just one product, they have now expanded to partner with external retailers, including EveryHuman, Averee, and THE ICONIC.


    Their dream? To become the number one inclusive fashion brand in Australia, ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability, can feel cool, proud, and stylish in their clothing. Molly and Emma's story is a testament to the transformative power of passion, empathy, and unwavering dedication.


    As we revisit this episode, we encourage you to listen closely to the insights, strategies, and perspectives shared by these remarkable founders. Their wisdom is a true golden nugget that can spark new ideas, inspire change, and help you make a lasting impact in your business, with your team, and within your community.


    So, whether you're an established business owner or just beginning your entrepreneurial journey, get ready to be equipped with valuable information and inspiration. Impact Edit is here to provide maximum impact in minimum time.
    Thank you for joining us, and let's dive into this empowering episode of Impact Edit.

  • Level Up Session: A Pathway to Profitability – Learn how to optimise the profit results in your business.

    We're kicking off our LEVEL UP SESSIONS, a series of episodes designed to help you take your business to the next level. 

    These sessions together will be focussed on inspiration and education – a mini strategy session for you to take away some actionable steps and apply them to your own business and keep moving forward.

    These sessions might even inspire you to consider exploring consulting and spark a renewed focus on your own professional and business development. 

    In today's episode, we'll be discussing "A Pathway to Profitability," and exploring what fashion brands and eCommerce business owners can do to improve the profitability of their business.

    From my experience, “Working extremely hard for little or no return is the biggest passion killer in business.”

    Profitability is at the core of any successful business. 

    It's what allows you to sustain long-term success, reinvest in your business, 

    grow, scale and gain fulfilment from what you do and why you do it." 

    Let’s face it, if we have a great week, a great month or a quarter, that’s when the motivation, inspiration and celebrations occur…and we ALL want more of that in business.

    Now if you are in the early days of business, do put this in perspective based on your start-up stage, it does take time to turn a profit. The important point to note is you must PLAN to be profitable from the beginning and know what you need to deliver to the business to ensure this happens.  

    But, if you’ve been in business for some time now, whether that’s A YEAR OR TWO or a DECADE or TWO… it really is time to pave the Pathway to Profitability and ensure you’re on track to ultimately achieve YOUR version of success in your business. 

    During this Level Up Session, we cover:

    1. Understanding the importance of profitability
    2. Identifying profit-optimising opportunities, across:
    • Pricing strategy
    • Cost of goods
    • Discounts
    • Expenses
    • Marketing 

       3.Taking action and measuring results

    By identifying your profit-optimisation opportunities, overcoming common challenges, and taking action, you'll be well on your way to making significant improvements. 

    If you enjoy this LEVEL UP session, please be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any upcoming episodes. 

    We love hearing from you, so feel free to DM us and share any feedback on whether this episode was helpful and share any future topics you would like me to dive into in our LEVEL UP sessions.

  • Natalie Dabscheck, Founder & Creative Director of MOS The Label | Born into the Fashion Industry and at the helm for two decades.

    In this episode, I speak with Natalie Dabscheck. 

    A leader in the industry, becoming the founder and creative director of Australian fashion brand MOS the Label wasn’t so much a choice as Natalie’s destiny with over 20 years’ experience in the fashion industry. A female owned and led business, MOS the Label was created in Sydney, near the beaches of Bondi by founder & mother, Natalie Dabscheck.

    Natalie envisioned a brand for women like her - crafting feminine pieces with a relaxed approach for real women to celebrate life. Evolving out of local label, Bebe Sydney, to now offer their own unique take on modern bohemian luxe whilst remaining true to their commitment to a future of natural fabrications, thoughtful design transcending seasons, and being a part of each stage of a woman's life.

    With Natalie at the helm, as creative director for two decades, Natalie has led a team of artists and designers, managed the vision of the brand, and developed innovative strategies to drive growth. Contributing to the Australian fashion landscape and supporting the incredible women that make up the brand to what it is today. 

    MOS the Label have made a commitment; to research, share and inspire through their core values. Working with people and planet in mind at all times, to ensure a positive impact on our environment and our community. Built on the foundations of a journey to inspire change in the world and a continued effort to reduce environmental impact, build considered connections and responsibly evolve as a brand.

  • Nat Welfare, Founder of SZN Social – Social Media Mastery: Navigating Trends & Strategies.

    In this episode, I chat with Nat Welfare.

    Nat Welfare is a social media strategist and founder of SZN Social, a Melbourne-based marketing agency working with fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands.

    With a degree in Psychology and a background working in tech startups, rather than agencies, Nat is fast becoming known for her non-traditional style of marketing. Her mission is to help brands build cult-like online communities by developing unique campaigns and strategies that blend elements of entertainment media, PR, influencer marketing, public activations and native video content creation. When everyone else zigs, SZN helps brands zag.

    Recently, SZN Social has been working with small brands looking to break into saturated markets like fashion and skincare, and develop highly differentiated social media strategies and brand awareness campaigns. 

    With social media fast becoming the primary source of shopping traffic, Nat hopes to continue working in the fashion space to help brands become more entertaining and likeable online, in order to differentiate themselves from the masses and attract, engage and convert their target audiences.
