    644: Jac Semmler of Super Bloom

    In this episode, Fiona chats with Jac Semmler, founder of SuperBloom, a plant practice with a mission of “plants for the people”. They talk about Jac’s journey from growing up surrounded by plants in regional Victoria to building a multidisciplinary business working across horticulture, planting design, major public projects, books and creative collaborations. Jac shares how she has intentionally built SuperBloom as a “tiny but mighty” values-led business, why she doesn’t believe every business needs to niche down, and how thinking of the business as an ecology has allowed different audiences, projects and opportunities to coexist. You'll learn: Why Jac believes beauty, nature and climate resilience can and should exist togetherHow getting involved earlier in a project can lead to better creative outcomesWhy your business doesn’t necessarily need to niche down to succeedHow Jac thinks about SuperBloom as an ecology rather than a collection of separate offersWhy saying no, setting boundaries and being selective about partnerships has transformed the businessThe role books have played in building Jac’s profile and opening unexpected doorsJac also talks about knowing the value of your creative work, refusing to work purely for “exposure”, and why making space for the right projects, people and partnerships can be one of the most powerful decisions you make in business Need help with your own business strategy, impact, visibility or personal brand ?

    647: Confidence is a muscle, not a personality type

    Confidence isn’t something you either have or you don’t. In this Quick Tip episode, Fiona challenges the idea that you need to feel confident before taking action, and explores why confidence is actually a skill built through repetition. From putting up your prices to showing up on camera, pitching yourself or speaking in public, it’s often doing the uncomfortable thing that creates confidence, not the other way around. You'll learn: Why confidence is a skill you can build rather than a fixed personality trait How taking small, uncomfortable actions can make bigger moves feel more manageable over time A simple way to start doing the thing you’ve been putting off because you don’t feel ready yet Need help with your own business strategy, impact, visibility or personal brand ?
