by admin | Sep 2, 2024 | Blog, Conqueror, Entrepreneur, Female Entrepreneur, Female Leaders, Female Power

This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di sits down with the incredible woman at the helm of Anther Distillery, Dervilla McGowan. Dervilla left bartending to become a Scientist and like most scientists, she enjoys mucking about with things to see how they work. After working in bars in Australia and London, completing a PhD in Microbiology, becoming a Mum and working as a Microbiologist in the innovation of rapid composting of food waste, she stepped into the world of entrepreneurship. Dervilla left research to make gin, exploring the science of flavour and running Anther Gin in a way that helps to support the craft distilling community. She loves working on gin recipes, distilling, collaborations, and the flavour of Australian native botanicals. She is a fierce advocate and supporter of women and Dervilla’s spirit is most definitely a tilt to her Celtic ancestry.

This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di connects with Julie Otter, co-Founder of Otter Craft Distilling (OCD) to discuss how she and the business survived the pandemic. Having launched OCD only five months before COVID hit, they were left out in the cold when it came to Government support. Timing is everything and things aren’t always fair and it also appears, are not always equal in business. Julie shares candidly how tough it was and how to stay strong when it feels like the ground is shifting under your feet. She also shares insights around when your team are also your family, and why it is still super important to hold each other accountable. I’m guessing though, that the boardroom bar-fridge is very well stocked.

This week on the Power Of Women podcast Di spends time with a true powerhouse, Beverley Honig. What is impressive is that Beverley didn’t hesitate to make herself available which is amazing given the many hats she wears; professor of practice, CEO, thought leader, global innovator and renowned entrepreneur. A thought-provoking discussion that shines a light on Beverley’s own narrative: as well as explores her advocacy of ‘women at the table’; a fresh perspective on the ‘glass-ceiling’; explores ‘imposter syndrome’ v. self-fulfilling prophecy; and the distinction between diversity and inclusion. When it comes to inclusion, it is very clear, we have a lot of work to do.

Ep.15 Anna Lohe | Passion Pivot Prosper: Anna Lohe Art is on the rise

by admin | Jul 8, 2024 | Blog, Conqueror, Entrepreneur, Female Entrepreneur, Female mentoring, Innovator, Trailblazers, Women Supporting Women

This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di connects with emerging abstract artist, Anna Lohe. Anna is an Australian artist based in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia who is successfully transitioning from a corporate career to the art world. When the realisation hit that the corporate vibe & motherhood didn’t align, she took a moment to reflect and reset. Out of that reflection and a series of subsequent light-bulb moments, Anna Lohe Art was born. Within a mere eighteen months, Anna’s works are already adorning walls in private collections in London, Barcelona, New York and in the Maldives. A fantastic story of backing yourself, embracing the support of those around you & just going for it. An inspiring story and a name in the art world to watch out for.
