    • 92-Hour Work Weeks to Raising Capital, How a Former Tradie is Now Disrupting Beauty Tech with GlamUare
      Dec 14 2025

      He worked 92-hour weeks in construction to fund his dream.

      DM’d 1,000 strangers and raised €60k in 7 days.

      Launched a beauty app with no tech background.

      Lost it all. Rebuilt. And now?

      He's raised again and GlamUare is live, funded, and shipping features every 2 weeks.


      Sean MacAdams is not your typical tech founder and GlamUare is not your typical beauty platform.

      In this episode, we go deep on Sean’s wild journey: from almost dropping out of high school to pitching investors in Saudi Arabia, managing a 30,000+ women’s community in Bondi, and building a beauty-tech platform that’s making real impact.


      He didn’t come from money.

      He didn’t have a cofounder.

      He didn’t even code.

      But what he did have was a relentless work ethic, a community-first vision, and the nerve to keep showing up.


      What You’ll Learn:

      • How Sean raised €60k in a week by DMing strangers with no pitch deck
      • What happened when his first launch fell apart 24 hours before go-live
      • The painful lessons from giving away equity too early and how he bought it back
      • How he worked 92-hour weeks in construction to keep the dream alive
      • Why he turned down Saudi investment (and what misaligned money almost cost him)
      • What makes GlamUare different from every other booking app in beauty
      • How he’s scaling now: fresh funding, bi-weekly feature drops, and go-to-market underway
      • The community monetisation playbook behind Bondi Beach Babes, no ads, 30K+ members


      This Episode Is For:

      • Founders building from scratch with no fancy background
      • Non-technical tech founders who’ve hit brick walls with dev teams
      • Creators and coaches trying to monetise community the right way
      • Anyone who's ready to hear what building really takes

      If you believe in grit over degrees, vision over validation, and community over hype, this episode is for you.

    • How Frank Greeff Built, Sold and Rebuilt: The Founder’s Marketing Playbook for Talent, Distribution and Team Performance
      Dec 7 2025

      What does it take to build a category-leading company, exit, and then choose to do it all again… but on a bigger stage?


      In this episode, I sit down with Frank Greeff, co-founder of Realbase (acquired by Domain) and now building Kinso, to unpack how he thinks, hires, communicates and builds momentum. This is a candid look at the systems, standards and decisions behind scaling companies, attracting exceptional talent and using personal brand as a genuine growth engine.


      We talk through:

      • Why he interviewed 110 engineers to hire five
      • How founder-led content generated 11,000+ waitlist sign-ups
      • What actually creates culture (and what kills it instantly)
      • How to attract A-players without diluting standards
      • Why teams only perform when they’re energised, not micromanaged
      • Designing a life that supports ambition: family, fitness and focus
      • The skills his kids will need in an AI-dominant world


      Core ideas:

      • Hiring is a benchmark game, not a box-ticking exercise
      • Standards shape culture and they slip fast if you let them
      • Personal brand multiplies distribution, trust and talent flow
      • Presence matters more than pace
      • Implementation beats information
      • People stay when they feel they’re becoming someone better
      • Documenting the build creates belief and momentum
      • Human energy becomes the advantage as AI scales


      Key timestamps:

      3:00 Scaling Realbase to 400 staff

      4:06 Why Frank chose to build again

      5:28 The 110-interview hiring philosophy

      9:12 What actually builds culture

      28:33 The content engine behind Kinso

      31:52 Why Kinso hires people who want to be on camera

      40:35 Personal brand as leverage

      42:25 Documenting the build

      52:08 Skills the next generation will need


      I’m on a mission to bring that global, collaborative founder energy to Australia. If something in this episode hit home, pass it on to a founder who’ll appreciate it, and share it on your socials @jennadaviesmarketing.

    • Serisha Barrat: From Losing Millions to Building Global Legal Tech
      Oct 7 2025

      She Built the App. It Failed. She Rebuilt It. Now She’s Scaling Globally.


      Serisha Barrat is the founder and CEO of Lawyered Up — an AI-powered legal tech platform making affordable legal support accessible to small businesses.

      She’s been recognised globally:

      Top 50 Inspiring Women in Tech (2023)

      Top 100 Most Influential Young Africans

      Glamour Women of the Year: Technology Game Changer

      Mail & Guardian 200 Young South Africans


      She’s leading a fast-growing, women-powered team, scaling Lawyered Up across four African countries, and speaking on some of the world’s biggest tech stages, including London Tech Week and the AI Summit.


      But what made me most excited to sit down with Serisha is the story behind the headlines. Because this platform? She built it twice.

      The first version failed. She lost everything, partnerships collapsed, capital dried up, and she had to start over. But she did. And now, she’s building one of Africa’s most promising tech startups with a clear mission: justice, made accessible.


      In this episode, we dive into:

      → What really happened when the first version of Lawyered Up failed

      → How she found the courage to rebuild

      → Why hiring the right team changed everything

      → What it takes to lead as a woman in tech and why representation matters

      → The biggest lessons from fundraising, partnerships, and scaling across borders


      This is a story about resilience, purpose, and what it really takes to build a mission-led company when the odds are stacked against you.
