Alisa Newey is the founder and director of Re:New Design, an interior design studio based in Brisbane, Australia. In this episode she gets real and vulnerable about starting a business.

She started her business at 25, wound it up 4 years later and then a decade on, started it again… her story is one of personal burnout and learning the hard way how to do business and life with balance and pace.

Alisa’s second shot is structured toward a sustainable business and creating a circular economy in the construction industry.

We talk about finding a mentor, how helpful a business coach can be, working with a mindset that holds you back - and what to do about it.

Alisa has authored a book for restauranteurs who want to grow - the e-book is available for free (email her: [email protected] )

In this episode of Resilient Entrepreneurs, we speak with Nick Steiner, the Founder of Mini Farm Project Brisbane. Nick shares his inspiring story of how he has dedicated his life to promoting sustainable living and empowering people to grow their own food.

We were truly moved by Nick's passion for creating a more sustainable and equitable food system. He explains that he got into the charity space because he wanted to see people in need get good quality, nutritious food, and believes that food is the answer to many of our woes, with a healthy diet being key to good mental and physical health.

During the episode, Nick shared how they have found a unique way to fund their farms through coffee sales. The Mini Farm Project Brisbane's approach is a win-win situation for everyone. Coffee lovers can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and at the same time, support a great cause. The farms funded by the coffee sales will provide nutritious food to people in need, contributing to a healthier and happier community.

It was inspiring to hear how he has leveraged his skills and resources to make a real impact in his community and beyond.
