This week we have a wonderful conversation with the incredible Julie Goodwin, from Julie Goodwin Couture.
With over 25 years of experience, Julie is a classic couturier whose work serves as the ultimate antidote to fast fashion. From bespoke tailoring to exquisite occasion wear, Julie’s practice is built on the foundation of sustainability and refined craftsmanship.
But Julie’s impact goes far beyond the sewing machine. As an educator and advocate with a Masters in Fashion & Entrepreneurship from RMIT, she is deeply committed to the survival of independent fashion. She doesn’t just make clothes; she “aids and abets” the connections and collaborations that help the local fashion industry thrive.
Tune in to hear how Julie created her incredible business, and how she gives back to the next generation of designers.

We are so thrilled to have Tom Wenborn from Thinkerbell in the pod suites this week.
Tom began his creative career as a designer, before becoming a copywriter, then a designer again, then an art director before settling somewhere in-between.
He has spent the last 15 years working at Australia’s top agencies including Bundy Agency, CHEP, Saatchi & Saatchi before joining Thinkerbell in 2018, rising to the ECD role in 2020.
He has created some of the country’s most popular and effective campaigns for clients including Cadbury, Westpac, Toyota, Devondale, Furphy, Foxtel, Hahn and Bega. His work has been recognized over 100 times at major award shows including D&AD, Cannes, Clios, New York Festivals, London International Awards, The Effies and Young Guns.
His campaigns have also been featured in Contagious’ Best & Bravest as well as the Financial Review’s Most Innovative List. He is passionate about simple work that makes a difference, whether that’s helping unfuck the environment or making your Nanna laugh, both are equally important.
It was such a pleasure to chat with Tom about all things photography design, advertising and just being an all out creative mind!

Today we welcome into the pods Renee Chung. Renee blew our minds with her incredible knowledge on all things social media and the world of influencers.
Renee is a social media and influencer manager obsessed with great storytelling and even better strategy. She’s been in the content world since she was six years old (camera in hand), editing videos at thirteen, attending book PR events at sixteen (before BookTok made it cool!) and managing social media the second she was allowed online.
She now spends her time diving deep into audience behaviour, figuring out what people actually care about, and why, then turning those insights into content that connects. She works closely with creators and influencers, knowing when to guide and when to step back so creativity can do its thing.
At her core, Renee loves building brands that feel cohesive and considered, bringing together content, social, design, and customer experience into campaigns that not only look good, but work.
