We did it!

Our very own example of the chipping away effect.

In news that shocks no-one, Angela and Renée have actually, finally, definitely launched Make Good Things Happen, the podcast for makers in business.

Each episode will feature a range of segments, from e-commerce insights to media commentary, event breakdowns, and discussions about what it’s really like to manage a small business in the creative space.

Expect a relaxed, interesting and cheeky chat about the news, influences and trends that affect the community of makers in business in Australia, peppered with friendly hints and expert tips.

Here’s a sneak peek at what to expect:

  • From Scroll to Cart – Dive into the world of e-commerce with episodes dedicated to everything from social media marketing to website strategies and online sales
  • Sh*t Customer Service – If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of terrible customer service, this is the segment for you! Angela and Renee share their own funny (and sometimes frustrating) stories, while discussing what makes great customer service and why it matters.
  • Making History – A quirky walk down memory lane, where Angela and Renee share gossip and insights from their rich creative portfolios, including the funny, inspiring, and sometimes downright weird moments they’ve encountered along the way.
  • Gruen LITE – A thinly veiled attempt at catching the attention of ABC’s Gruen while providing their own media and communications commentary. Expect humorous takes on the latest trends and hot topics in advertising and pop culture.
  • Event Breakdown – Whether it’s a local market, an exhibition, or a major creative event, Angela and Renee give you the rundown on the events that matter to makers like you, including their personal reviews and thoughts on the best places to network, showcase, and learn.
  • Making Good Things Happen – This segment highlights the good stuff, shining a light on social media moments of kindness, productivity hacks, positive trends, and more that inspire makers to keep going.
  • Making Headlines – Stay informed on news that affects Australian small creative businesses, with updates on everything from policy changes to market shifts and other developments impacting or within the maker community.
  • Maker in Focus –Interviews and case studies with inspiring Australian makers, providing a platform to share their stories, struggles, successes, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.
  • This Week I… – A fun, bite-sized segment where Angela and Renee share something they’ve seen, read, watched, listened to, or learned in the past week – from podcasts to books, to viral trends and achievements.

We know that running a small business can sometimes feel isolating and overwhelming, which is why we wanted to create a moment for makers to have a laugh, learn, and feel like they’re connected to their community wherever they are.

Make Good Things Happen is available to download on all major platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio. Listen to the trailer right now or download the first weekly episode of our first season on Monday 3rd March 2025.
