Business Juice Jutta Devenish

Have you ever looked at someone's journey and wondered how a single step led to a thriving career? Tripp Douglas joined us to recount his leap from university graduate to entrepreneur with Fusion Coffeehouse and Crema Design Studio. Our conversation with Tripp is a treasure trove of insights, from the shifts that shaped his path to the leadership change required to run two successful businesses. He doesn't just share his story; he gives us valuable insights into motivation and management, revealing the strategies that keep his team engaged and contributing to the team's business success.

The heart of any business lies in the vision that powers it, and Tripp explains the art of breathing life into that vision. We explore the transition from lone freelancer to team leader, and uncover delegation, collaboration, and bestowing a sense of ownership within a team. It's a balance of communication, celebration, and personal investment in your team's welfare that creates a supportive, thriving environment. Tripp's experiences are proof that when the team is aligned with the business's heartbeat, every challenge becomes an opportunity for growth.

For those perched on the edge of starting a new venture, Tripp offers insight into what and what not to pursue.  We even skate down memory lane, contemplating the magic of 80s arcades and how Tripp's dedication to community and creating memorable experiences translates into his business philosophy.

Have you ever found yourself staring at a mountain of clutter, feeling utterly overwhelmed? Imagine the relief of transforming that chaos into a tranquil, functional haven. That's exactly what Mollie, my dear friend and founder of potentially will be called "Giving Spaces," (she is still deciding on a name so if you have a suggestion, comment on our Instagram post with your idea!  On today's episode, we walk through her thoughts on setting up a business which will help others go  from cluttered spaces to crafting serene and practical living spaces. As a mother and super-engaged woman in her community, Mollie brings a unique perspective on turning those dreaded spaces into something that gives you joy. She also talks about when she started considering this business idea, the challenges she has had in getting it going and what the future might hold. 

Join us as we peel back the layers of creativity and strategy involved in home organization and starting a business! The two, strangely enough, have many parallels. Mollie doesn't just arrange spaces; she infuses them with beauty, making use of the simplest items like repurposed shoeboxes as organizational gold. We share laughs and insights on how a well-ordered environment impacts mental clarity and the courageous steps required to embark on an entrepreneurial adventure. Through her story, Mollie illustrates how nurturing an innate skill can blossom into a valuable service, encouraging the way for others to follow suit.

Finally, we close the chapter on a note of liberation that decluttering brings. Not merely an act of tidying, but a stepping stone to freedom of mind. Mollie's reflections serve as a valuable roadmap for anyone considering their venture, and her practical tips offer a helping hand for those seeking a fresh start in their personal spaces. Her drive and determination are nothing short of inspiring, and I'm excited to share how her business, is not just about decluttering homes, but about giving people a place they feel at home in. So, if you're ready for a change, not just in your closet but in your life, ready to start your own entrepreneurial challenge, take a seat and listen in!

Josh Hoffman from Bechtel shares his thoughts on leadership and the need for purposeful communication. We discuss that leaders often  fail to get the best out of people due to lack of communication skills, inability to express what they really want and unwillingness to listen first. Josh also talks about leadership in the wider sense and is own growth as a leader.

 Josh grew up with his two parents and older sister.  Due to the nature of his dad's job in oil and gas, they lived in Washington State, USA, California, USA, Singapore and the UK.  From an early age, he enjoyed tinkering and was very inquisitive.  This, along with his dad's engineering influence, was the reason he chose to study Mechanical Engineering at California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo.  While at university, he was able to break out of his shell and develop his passion for continuous learning.  He started his career moving to Houston, TX working for Bechtel Oil, Gas and Chemicals as a Project Engineer.  This gave him the opportunity to dip his toes into the corporate world and utilize his engineering degree.  11 years and many assignments later, he lived in Soyo, Angola, travelled to New Delhi and London to train co-workers and commissioned a liquified natural gas facility in Western Australia.  Along the way, he met his wife, Lizzie, and managed to squeeze in their wedding a week before the world shut down due to COVID.  He enjoyed stints in Engineering, Business Development, Financial Planning and Analysis and now finds himself working as a Senior Cost Engineer in Pittsburgh, PA.  Josh has always been fascinated with the sociological dynamics of the workplace, getting to know people, what motivates them and how different people communicate and lead effectively.
