| 21 Aug 2024 | Balancing act – How successful leaders blend creativity with commercial realities | 00:23:39 | |
Would you describe yourself as a right-brained or left-brained thinker? We’ve been conditioned to believe you’re either one or the other. And while we all know a math genius who couldn’t hold a paintbrush if they tried and some creative geniuses who’d be lost in the simplest of spreadsheets, we can all develop both our creative and logical abilities. And in business, having a balance of both is key to great leadership. Alexandra Smart knew this when she co-founded the fashion label Ginger & Smart. Without innovative designs and forward-thinking product development, the brand might not have stood. And, without the business savvy to actually make money, none of those designs would have graced a catwalk or a shopfront. Alexandra shares how this balance of creative and commercial thinking shaped their business strategy and go-to-market plans, and how in her current role as an executive coach she teaches other leaders to get this crucial balance right. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.

| 30 Oct 2024 | The resilient entrepreneur – How this Aussie med tech start-up went global | 00:29:50 | |
At seven years old, Hayley Saddington experienced an incident that became the catalyst for her whole career. Decades later, Hayley founded two companies – HALO Medical Devices and PeakMedical – but she’s not your typical tech entrepreneur. For one thing, she doesn’t come from a tech background. Both companies have tested her patience, her drive and her sleep schedule, but her deeply personal purpose has kept her going. And as a mentor to budding entrepreneurs, Hayley wants to help others determine their purpose and find that same drive to succeed in business. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.

| 14 Feb 2024 | Beyond logos - why better branding means better business | 00:30:12 | |
How do you market your business when consumers pay not to see your ads? How do you make your name stand out when the internet is overrun with marketing? And how do you build trust and make your name sticks when everything’s moving so fast? Dee Madigan is an advertising expert, a founding panelist on ABC’s The Gruen Transfer and the creative director and owner of ad agency Campaign Edge. Dee breaks down one of branding’s most powerful tools – sponsorship. She explains to host Dr Juliet Bourke how sponsorships work in today’s digital marketing landscape, why they’re so effective when done right, and warns about the most common pitfalls and mistakes in sponsorship branding. Professor Frederik Anseel, Interim Dean at UNSW Business School, goes even deeper, explaining how the right sponsorship deal can lend a sense of humanity and personality to an otherwise ‘faceless’ organisation. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.

| 26 Mar 2025 | Building Banish – How Lottie Dalziel turned a New Years resolution into a sustainability startup | 00:30:11 | |
In 2018, Lottie Dalziel scribbled down a New Year's resolution: Do better for the planet. Unlike most of us, she actually followed through. Frustrated by the lack of practical and authentic eco-friendly products on the market, Lottie decided she’d take matters into her own hands. While most startups take years to refine their product, test the market, and strategise their launch, Lottie built Banish – a marketplace and education platform focused on environmental responsibility – in just two weeks. Her secret? A low risk, cost-effective approach and a willingness to let her customers feedback shape the start-up... This is how she turned a gap in the market into an expanding business. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios. This episode is hosted by Dr Juliet Bourke, with insights from Professor Barney Tan. The transcript and show notes can be found on our website here.

| 05 Jun 2024 | Future skills – The know-how you need for the next era of business | 00:11:59 | |
What will you need to know – or know how to do – to succeed in business over the next ten years? A decade ago, the answer would have been to up-skill in tech. According to Lee Hickin, the AI Technology and Policy Lead for Microsoft in Australia, the advances we've seen in the last decade mean that “technology is not this thing that happens as a segment of a business, it’s actually how a business runs today.” And mitigating the risks and impact of climate change is the new frontier. Penny Joseph, the Head of Climate Resilience at electricity distributor Ausgrid, believes more companies will create roles like hers, and explains the unique mix of skills roles like hers require. Behyad Jafari, the CEO of the Electric Vehicle Council, has already seen entire industries updating the priorities of their skills base – he sees a future built on a ‘purple collar workforce,’ and explains what that looks like in the car manufacturing industry.

| 29 Jan 2023 | Skills of tomorrow - The future's got (tech) talent | 00:36:50 | |
Technology is no longer a thing that happens as a segment of a business, or the sole domain of the IT Department. Core functions of how a business runs are technology-based and rely on people, processes and systems being interlinked. But with rapidly evolving organisational needs and tech talent in high demand and short supply, how can today’s leaders prioritise skills development and innovation in a rapidly changing workforce? Listen to one of the industry’s tech titans explain how the impact of technology acceleration is changing organisations and their employees, alongside academic commentary on how technologies like AI and blockchain can be used to enable – or weaken – successful connection in workplaces and beyond.

| 29 Jan 2023 | The Great Reorganisation – can work-from-anywhere policies really work? | 00:32:29 | |
Since millions worked remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s become clear that not everyone needs to work face-to-face in an office environment to be successful. Some companies – like global travel company Airbnb have gone as far as adopting a ‘work from anywhere policy’, piloting programs to attract digital nomads to their workforce. Is a work-from-anywhere approach a help or a hindrance when it comes to teamwork, talent and culture? Hear from an industry leader who is part of a work-from-anywhere organisation, and academic experts who unpack how this looks across an ever-changing workforce to build a new culture of talent attraction and retention.

| 13 Mar 2024 | Slow success – what this fintech startup can teach you about building trust | 00:27:01 | |
Tech start-ups have been the darlings of business media in recent years, and for good reason: new technology is exciting and flashy, and tech entrepreneurs tend to share pithy catchphrases about grinding, hustling, or “moving fast and breaking things.” But what happens when a start-up needs to slow down? In the case of the investment app Pearler, speed was never the ultimate goal. Co-founder Hayden Smith thinks veering away from that traditional startup mentality has been key to building relationships with Pearler customers who now trust the company to manage approximately $1 billion of their money. Hayden explains to host Dr Juliet Bourke how he’s adapted his leadership style to the longer-term finance industry, and how his personal experience has informed the product development at Pearler. Professor Frederik Anseel, Interim Dean at UNSW Business School, shares a more nuanced way to understand failure when building a new business, and offers some practical strategies for managing – and more importantly, learning from – failure. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.

What makes a great marketer? Maybe a good eye for product design, a deep understanding of market dynamics, excellent communication skills and the ability to give customers what they want. But what about a fierce devotion to ethics? Wendy Mak is the Chief Marketing Officer at Link Group, a global financial services company driven by digital and data technology. Wendy’s excited about the potential productivity gains promised by brand-new technology like generative AI, but she’s not all-in - yet.

She explains to host Dr Juliet Bourke how she’s leveraging these powerful new technologies without succumbing to their most dangerous pitfalls.

| 27 Nov 2024 | Hollywood hustle – From indie producer to CEO | 00:22:55 | |
Lights... Camera... Spreadsheets? Emile Sherman and his production company See-Saw Films have produced some of the most beloved films and TV shows of the last few decades, including The King’s Speech, Lion, Heartstopper and Slow Horses.

Whether you're trying to spot the next big thing or learn when to say “no” to the big money, running a production company is far more business than “show.” Emile explains how he and his business partner Ian Canning transformed See-Saw from a scrappy startup into a global production house, how their early bid for independence informed the way they work today, and why the risky decision is often the smartest one. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.

| 26 Feb 2023 | Farm to factory to fork – who’s really feeding you? | 00:41:00 | |
In wealthy countries, we tend to take for granted where our food comes from, taking comfort in the fact that our supermarket shelves will always be stocked – that is until potatoes become a scarce luxury and a head of lettuce nudges twenty dollars. Then, we might remember that political, environmental, social, and technological forces and disruptions to global supply chains all impact its supply. So how can emerging technologies, like blockchain, biotech and digital sustainability make food supply fairer, less environmentally damaging, and more robust? Hear from industry and academic experts in biotechnology and sustainable food practices who are disrupting the industry and shifting consumer behaviour to meet demand for more ethical (and still tasty) products using technology to boost food modelling, farming practices and reduce environmental impact.

| 29 Jan 2023 | Home & away - The tricky business of making hybrid work, work | 00:39:31 | |
A few years ago an hour-long commute in crawling traffic or on a crowded bus seemed like an inevitable part of working life.

| 28 Feb 2024 | Prioritising purpose – How this ticketing company succeeded without traditional marketing | 00:27:22 | |
In their first few years of operation, Humanitix didn’t spend a cent on traditional marketing. Despite this, they managed to build up a client list that includes Google, TED, Red Bull, Canva and Facebook, and gave millions to charity in the process. How did they do it? Adam McCurdie is the co-founder and CEO of Humanitix, the new contender disrupting the fiercely competitive ticketing industry for all the right reasons. After making a pact with his close friend and co-founder, Adam left the corporate world in search of more meaningful work – and that relentless pursuit of purpose is the driving force behind Humanitix’s unconventional marketing. Adam explains to host Dr Juliet Bourke why traditional advertising hasn’t been an option for most of Humanitix’s history, and how the company's clients have done the talking for them. Professor Frederik Anseel, Interim Dean at UNSW Business School explains why the purpose-driven marketing of Humanitix works for some companies but isn’t necessarily the right approach for everyone. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.

| 12 Mar 2025 | What’s the story? How to create a compelling brand narrative | 00:25:49 | |
Apple doesn’t sell computers. It sells creativity. Or maybe it’s more accurate to say people don’t buy computers, they buy the story a company tells about them – that they’re creative, clever, responsible, or anything else that might matter. Shane Currey, the founder of PRIME Collective Australia, learned this while working in the luxury brand space – without a powerful story behind a brand name, a laptop is just a laptop. So how do you tell stories people want to believe? And what about the stories you tell about the people within the business? Shane says the right narrative can be a ‘weapon of mass alignment,’ and he can help you point your people in the same direction. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.

| 29 Jan 2025 | Understanding Gen Z – How this start up is engaging a new generation of consumers | 00:27:45 | |
How can brands connect with the next generation of consumers? It's a question on the minds of many, especially in a bustling online marketplace. Yet, only a few have cracked the code. While most organisations have jumped on social media in a bid to attract young consumers, what they haven’t done – according to Sam Koslowski, co-founder of youth media brand The Daily Aus – is taken the time to truly understand their audience. TDA is doing things differently, and its unique approach to audience building has seen it evolve into a trusted media brand that reaches half a million people every day. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.

Artificial intelligence becomes more powerful by the day – which means the dangers that come with it are growing too. If you’re using AI tools in your business, you need to know how to use them safely and responsibly. So where do you start? Dr Catriona Wallace, a world-leading AI expert and Adjunct Professor at AGSM, shares a framework for using AI ethically, and explains why that responsibility falls on the shoulders of leaders and not just tech teams.

| 27 Mar 2024 | Super power – the Australian superannuation fund making retirement more equitable | 00:28:19 | |
Katrina McPhee is in the superannuation industry for the long haul now, but that wasn’t always the case. She’s currently the Chief of Staff at Aware Super, one of Australia’s largest superannuation funds, but when she first entered the industry, she wasn’t interested in sticking around in a field not exactly known for its desire to shake things up. But that all changed after a Royal Commission investigated misconduct in the banking, superannuation and finance sectors, and sparked a renewed focus on members and their needs. Kat describes this industry-wide transformation to host Dr Juliet Bourke, and details how Aware Super is combatting the ‘gender retirement gap’ not only for their own members, but also through their advocacy work as one of Australia’s most powerful financial forces. Professor Frederik Anseel, Interim Dean at UNSW Business School, explains how businesses can harness their moments of reckoning for positive transformation. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.

| 01 Nov 2023 | Policy in the slow lane - Can we speed up change and drive down emissions? | 00:32:32 | |
The battle to halt climate change is impacting most aspects of our day to day lives – right down to the cars we drive. But there’s a missing piece in motoring that could improve things – the electric vehicle industry. Manufacturers are making higher quality EVs than ever before, and more of them. At the same time, more Aussie drivers want their next car to be electric. So why is our country one of the slowest in the world in making the transition? More importantly – how do we get in the fast lane? Behyad Jafari is the CEO of the Electric Vehicle Council, a national body that represents the electric vehicle industry in Australia, and he says that missing piece is policy. Behyad explains to host Dr Juliet Bourke how Australia fell behind the rest of the world in the first place, how that’s affecting our industry right now, and what we can do to get our policies up to scratch. Professor Frederik Anseel, Senior Deputy Dean of UNSW Business School, drops in to explain what the EV industry can learn from the growth of solar, and what influences business leaders and their teams on a day-to-day basis. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.

| 19 Feb 2023 | Lifting the lid - How important are ethical supply chains? | 00:40:51 | |
From seedless apples to Apple iPhones, complex global supply chains give us access to products we didn’t even know we needed. But are they ethical? For many organisations the list of reasons not to meaningfully track suppliers and prove their commitment to ethical practices is rapidly dwindling, with fresh regulations and incentives being introduced every year. How do organisations stay committed to transparency when the social, human and environmental sides of supply chains are largely invisible to consumers? Hear from industry and academic experts in business ethics and supply chain tracking as we explore some of these ethical issues — from modern slavery to regulatory frameworks and the conscious consumer — and what leaders can do to maintain ethical processes while retaining profitability.

| 19 Jun 2024 | Profit and purpose – Balancing short-term imperatives with long-term sustainability goals | 00:22:19 | |
Business is an incredibly powerful force – how do you use it for good? How do you balance ambitious social impact targets with the realities of day-to-day operations? For Adam McCurdie, co-founder of social enterprise ticketing platform Humanitix, creating social impact was the priority from day one. How was he going to change the world? By starting a software company with a difference: one where he and his co-founder have no exit plan, and the profits go to charities around the world. But that’s not the only way to do well and do good. For Tristan Harris, the co-CEO of Harris Farm Markets, social impact evolved from a successful business model. After building a devoted consumer base that wanted more ethically produced products, Tristan realised he could make decisions that were good for the planet – and he could do this much faster than bigger competitors. And for Frances Atkins, the CEO of Givvable, long-term, ‘big picture thinking’ shaped the start up’s purpose.

Tell the truth and tell it fast, especially when faced with a crisis that has the potential to put people – and an organisation’s reputation – at risk.

Sue Cato, one of Australia’s leading crisis experts, has been at the coal face of many of those incidents, guiding an array of companies through their most vulnerable moments. Sue explains the common mistakes leaders get wrong in a crisis, why your CEO isn’t always the best leader in tough times, and why telling the truth – and telling it early – is always the best move. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.

| 13 Nov 2024 | Creative conversations – The business of making and selling art | 00:23:08 | |
‘Dreaming is such an important thing. You have to have space to imagine what something could be.’ Carving out the time and space to imagine and ideate is crucial for all business leaders. The development and growth of their companies depend on it. And for contemporary artist Ramesh Nithiyendran, finding time to ‘daydream’ is only possible with the strong infrastructure he’s built around himself and his practice. Across the first decade of his professional career, Ramesh built a successful art practice by treating it like a startup - reinvesting profits, building infrastructure, and thinking carefully about his brand. He peels back the curtain of the creative industries, talking everything from seeking funding and finding an accountant, to what it means to build a sustainable creative business while maintaining your artistic vision. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.

| 15 Nov 2023 | Risky business - How we adapt to climate change could ‘insure’ a better future | 00:34:01 | |
You might have come across the term black swan events – commonly used in the insurance space – they’re considered rare occurrences that are almost impossible to predict. As our climate and weather patterns continue to change at pace, the unexpected is really all we can expect now. How do businesses like insurers plan for risk and implement resilience strategies in the face of uncertainty? Leading with clarity during these high-pressure events takes a systematic approach, and for James Fitzpatrick, the Chief Technical Officer at Allianz Australia, this is his bread and butter. James’ industry has plenty to share with leaders in other fields when it comes to planning for "unknown unknowns,” and he explains to host Dr Juliet Bourke how insurers have mapped and modelled the future in the past, how those methods are changing as climate events become increasingly unpredictable, and how the core principles behind those methods can work in other sectors. Professor Frederik Anseel, Senior Deputy Dean of UNSW Business School, drops in to explain why practice doesn’t always make perfect when it comes to managing risk. +++ The Business Of podcast is brought to you by the University of New South Wales Business School, produced with Deadset Studios.
