Lauren Armes: How to become a 'to-go expert'

For the final episode this season, I am joined by Lauren Armes - a business coach who helps experts and coaches in the wellness industry to scale impact and profit faster. She is also the founder and CEO of Well To Do Global. Lauren explains how to become a 'to-go' expert and successfully brand yourself in order to create a big impact! We also discuss the importance of finding your niche; imposter syndrome; if the wellness industry is saturated and celebrating your competition using an 'abundant' mindset.

This week I am joined by Sarah Gillespie, business manager of Tala - the first active and loungewear brand to create 100% recycled and up-cycled sustainable styles that are accessible to everyone. We discuss Tala's 'disruptive' business model and strategy, the power of inclusivity and transparency, and how consumers are holding brands more accountable. Sarah also talks about returns and plantable tags, using influencers for marketing and their hashtag #ITSCOOLTOBEKIND. We cover lots of areas from an environmental as well as business perspective.

This week's game changer is Max Selwood - a mental health advocate and influencer who wants to open and normalise the conversation around mental health issues, especially for men. Max shares his own experiences about suffering with OCD, anxiety and depression, and why it's motivated him to tackle the stigma surrounding men speaking about their mental health via social media. We also cover expressing emotions, checking in with yourself and others, and if labels are helpful or problematic.

This week's game changer is Matt Pearson - a London based photographer and creative director who has worked with the likes of Three, L'Oreal and Gymshark and photographed people such as Antony Joshua and Lewis Capaldi. Matt shares his unconventional journey into photography - from taking a gamble to teaching himself - and we talk about how this time of stillness has impacted him and his work, creativity, and the power of reflection and journaling.

This week's game changer is Aisling Bryne, founder and CEO of Nuw - ‘a social network to share clothes with people in your local community and extend the life cycle of our wardrobes.’ We talk all about the social and environmental impacts of the fashion industry, the stories behind our clothes and the joy of preloved and vintage. We also dive into greenwashing, marketing ploys such as Black Friday and discuss ways forward for the fashion industry.

Welcome to the first episode of Mimazine on Air Season 3! This week's game changer is Emma Askew - soil scientist, environmental researcher and founder of Earth Minutes - a collaboration of environmental researchers and creatives, sharing a strong ambition to drive global change for people and the planet. Their two fundamental values are creativity and optimism - two words you don't often associate with environmental activism and climate justice. We talk about using optimism as a tool, dealing with climate anxiety and burn out, billionaires and dodging the blame game and the power of creativity in environmental education.

Hello and welcome back to a third season of Mimazine on Air! Here's a preview of what is in store this season. I am Mimi Swaby host and journalist and this season is all about game changers. Each week I will be interviewing a different individual who is pushing for and drive change in their field – from business to environmental activism we are going to hear it all. We will be diving deep into how they are doing things differently and changing the game.

To finish the series we are going out of space. All to discover how viruses, like coronavirus, come to earth on comets. Intrigued? I interview Science Prize winning journalist, Michael Troy from the ABC in Sydney about Panspermia - a revolutionary scientific theory that was once ridiculed but now could explain the latest superbug epidemic.

This week I we are the annual Invasion Day March in Sydney on the 26th January 2020. The 26th January is celebrated by many as the founding day of Australia, the day Captain Cook first ‘discovered’ the nation. However, in recent years there has been a growing unease with this name. For many it is a day of mourning, the day 267 years old Indigenous genocide began. I spoke to Aboriginal tribal elders, spokespeople and campaigners who explained why this day is so painful for them and about the inequality and prejudices Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people face.  As part of this, we hear from a grieving mother about her son’s death in custody. This is a very pofwerful and emotional episode which discussed topics some listeners may find upsetting.

This week I am in Australia joined by Eureka Science Prize winning Journalist Micheal Troy from the ABC, to discuss all about the darker side of Australia's native Eucalyptus tree. In the wake of devastating bushfires across the continent, it seems that some species are more in favour of the fire than it first appears.
