Ideas Into Reality Joy Taylor

- Negócios
Ideas Into Reality has been created to inspire everyone to take action to turn their ideas into reality, no matter what experience they have, where they live or who they think they are right now.
On this journey, we will be introducing you to founders that have taken their tiny flicker of an idea and done what it takes to bring it to reality.
We will be asking them to share the real, behind the scenes story…what triggered their idea in the beginning, what it has taken to get them where they are now, and how has their idea morphed along the way, who has helped them on their journey, and what were some of the pitfalls they encountered, what is coming up next for them, and what key lesson have they learned that they want to share with you, to encourage you to make the choice to leap and start on your own journey of bringing your idea into reality.
Each week, we will also take a few extra minutes to dig into the ‘how’ of some of those lessons, so that you can feel more confident... in what to actually do... when you start to take action on your idea.
Ideas Into Reality is hosted and produced by the team behind Canvas Coworking and Startup Toowoomba, so we will be talking to founders from our local community in regional Queensland, as well as some of the interesting folk that we have met during our travels around the globe.
There are millions of stories waiting to be told, and many many millions more that have yet to evolve.
We want to fan the flames of those ideas that are yet to see the light of day.

Interview with Anna Hendra and Adrian Spierings
Today's guests are on a mission to save the planet, one microalgae at a time...and they are starting with the superfood, Spirulina. How? Well, they have devised a way to make spirulina taste good...yep, that's right, tasty spirulina that happens to also have even better nutritional values than the yucky stuff you are used to. Anna Hendra is the founder of Ocean Orchards and along with her partner, Adrian Spierings is part of the Flair Incubator family. I am delighted to have them with me today to share the story of their journey so far, in bringing their idea into reality.

Interview with Natalie D'Alessandro
This week I have the incredible pleasure of introducing you to Natalie D'Alessandro. Her story is inspiring on many levels, some, like saving the planet I feel strongly aligned with, others, like having rooms full of clothing and accessories are less familiar to me, yet over the last few months of having Natalie in the Flair Incubator program, I have learned that there is an incredibly close association between these topics...and Natalie is a driving force to create a better solution to bring sustainable fashion into the minds, hearts and hands of people all over the world through Her Wardrobe Markets.

Interview with Katharina von Heusinger
Starting a new business is often a labour of love. In today's guest's case, it was even more so. Katharina von Heusinger is the founder of The Golden Bone Bakery, an Ipswich based company manufacturing and selling healthy treats for pets. With a strong focus on sustainability and social good, Katharina, along with her partner, Reiner is building a strong foundation for her business with integrity and value-based decision making at the core. I encourage you to pop your headphones in, grab your fur-baby and take a walk to the park as you listen to this week's episode.

Interview with Candice Mason
I first met this week's guest when she was pitching her story on stage at the Western Downs Pitch Challenge. Candice Mason is the Founder of My Felt Lady, an e-commerce store that sells 100% wool felt...though the real purpose is to inspire creative inspiration in the minds and hearts of crafters all over the country. Candice is one of the lovely ladies in the Flair Incubator and is working hard preparing her business and herself to grow internationally.

Interview with Ashley Jubinville and Matt Weller
I knew that I would like today's guest before I met her. Ashley Jubinville and her partner Matt Weller are the Founders of Phyto, an innovative solution for butter lovers that want an alternative to the dairy variety...theirs is made from plants.
Why did I know I would like Ashley? She filled out her application for Flair Incubator as if we were having a chat, and after being invited to the Selection Bootcamp, she responded to our questions with quirky answers that let us get to know her character and personality. This of course was confirmed once we met in person, and having her and Matt involved in Flair has been a blessing, as, in addition to their passion and commitment, they bring butter!

Interview with Kate Pearce
We are so fortunate to have female founders from all across Queensland join us for the Flair Incubator, including today's guest, Kate Pearce. Based in the North Queensland city of Townsville, Kate has the furthest to travel, yet that has only spurred her on, even more, to make sure that she gets as much value from the program as possible. On her mission to make healthy eating the norm for kids, Kate has developed the Healthy Little Eaters game and animation as the first steps to making a positive impact to the nutrition of kids and parents around the world.
