In this episode, Charlie and Will were lucky enough to sit down with the co-host of the We Got The Chocolates podcast to discuss the business of podcasting. The following that Leigh, brother Mitch and mate Andrew, have amassed through the podcast is nothing short of extraordinary. With nearly 500k followers on Instagram, 252k subscribers on Youtube - to go along with nearly 100 million total views - and a podcast that consistently ranks in the top 50 podcasts in Australia, Leigh has helped build an incredibly captive audience. They're now at the interesting stage of commercialising their show and have already struck great success with a partnership with Amazon to promote The Test. Through leveraging their talent agency Born Bred Talent - which also houses the likes of the Inspired Unemployed - they are looking to grow their suite of partnerships and turn their once part-time hobby into a full-time business. He even hits us with his best dad joke in true Leigh fashion, to finish the podcast. We hope you enjoy!

Charlie and Will are joined by Hyrdalyte North America (ASX:HPC) CEO, Oliver Baker, to discuss his pathway to becoming the CEO of an ASX-listed company and how his innate understanding of marketing and strategic partnerships has held him in good stead for this challenging role. Oliver has been facing some headwinds as they attempt to grow Hydralyte in America due to a slight variation in consumer preferences in which products that are tried and tested in one region may not be as hot overseas. To educate his consumer, Oli has partnered with Shay Mitchell - famous Canadian actress and influencer - which represents a significant expense for the company but one that they hope will help consumers better understand their product, thus making it a household brand like it is in Australia. If you want to hear more about Hydralyte and its origins please give it a listen!
