Welcome to Impact Edit, where we bring you the most powerful insights and golden nuggets from our impactful conversations with thought leaders and changemakers in the fashion industry.  We are revisiting a remarkable episode that left a lasting impression.

In this snippet from our original podcast episode, I’m chatting with Mary Lou Ryan who co-founded bassike with Deborah Sams in 2006 to create what they couldn’t find: high quality, design-led, sustainably sourced wardrobe essentials.

Lou & Deb chose to work with organic cotton, Australian makers and responsible business practices from the beginning.

The pair designed the first collections from a 1950s cottage on Sydney’s Palm Beach, and bassike has the ease and vitality of Australian beach life in its DNA.

Their debut collection was a considered edit of luxurious, organic cotton jersey t-shirts and pants that instantly connected with wearers in search of contemporary designs with the versatility to work within their existing wardrobes.

Mary Lou holds the title of Director of Sustainability & Supply Chain at bassike, with a commitment to accelerating and amplifying positive change at the brand, within the community and the broader fashion industry.

bassike is proudly B Corp and Climate Active Carbon Neutral certified.

During our dynamic chat, Lou talks us through:


Lou’s early days in the industry
Why and how Lou and Deb launched bassike
Bassike’s Responsible Business Journey
Building Meaningful Partnerships
Local Manufacturing & Sustainable practices
Nurturing their loyal, engaged customer  
Working on Mindset & Wellbeing and so much more.

I loved every minute of my time with Lou and no doubt you will too.

Today’s episode focuses on an everyday accessible solution that provides the GIFT of health and wellness services to support to those who need it.

This is something that can be integrated into any Workplace Wellness Program and shared with our family, friends and communities.

Nikki Williams is a repeat entrepreneur, marketer and health and wellness advocate who has recently launched Mentwell; a digital gift card for health and wellness services where the receiver gets to choose how they redeem, at any service provider, Australia-wide.

This means GPs, dentists, psychologists, all Allied Health, all alternative and complementary therapies, gyms, yoga and pilates studios, wellness centres, retreats and more.

It's evident that Nikki has a unique ability to use her life experiences as a way of fuelling her passion when it comes to her work life. First, music was a coping mechanism to deal with a challenging family situation; so she became a music manager and PR professional. Then she dove head first into hospitality as a job, but realised she wanted to help hospitality owners and operators, so she started a successful digital marketing agency for this sector. Then wellness became important during a particularly difficult time during Covid, so she created a kids yoga mat company and started building Mentwell.

Now Nikki is on a mission to make wellness the 3.0 of gifting. We've had material gifts like flowers and chocolates, then we moved to experience based gifting like hot air balloon rides, and now gifting wellness allows one another to potentially change the lives of those around us.

Just 22 weeks after launching Mentwell, Nikki and her team have $5.8m in sales revenue secured for 2024 and are raising $1.5m through a Birchal crowdfunding campaign in May, 2024. Nikki dreams of being able to be a philanthropist as a full time job, helping to increase the global health and wellness of our communities, in particular those who are less fortunate or disadvantaged.

Nikki has continuously used her intuition and curiosity to create businesses and she's excited to share her journey with Mentwell so far with our community.

During our dynamic conversation, we dive into:


The significant changes taking place in the health and wellbeing space
The power of gifting Mentwell, Australia’s FIRST Health and Wellness Gift Card
What choosing to align with Mentwell could mean for your business
How embracing discipline rather than motivation can be transformational in each of our lives
And so much more.
