Is it just us or.....is marketing getting a little dull? We are a bit over hearing the same old voices selling us the same old spin about how they’re going to drive awareness, build reach… but not doing anything for client business. Where creativity used to dominate, it just feels… well… kinda predictable. Ads have lost their jazz, data drives creative and media plans… Google, Facebook, Amazon, Linkedin - rinse and repeat.
It’s time for marketing to get a hustle on .....and that is where the 'Flex Your Hustle' podcast by Commission Factory comes in!
Hosted by marketing consultant, content expert and General Manager of Ampel Michelle Lomas, 'Flex Your Hustle' will introduce you to amazing marketers that you have probably never heard of. The ones who had zero marketing experience and managed to build multi-million dollar businesses by hustling. The little e-comm side hustle that made millions in their first year selling socks, or the local beauty brand who has just cracked the global market.
How did they do it? What did they learn along the way? It’s all about the hustle.
Join us each week to be inspired by these success stories who share one thing in common, they did marketing differently.

Making Customers Your Lead Marketing Channel with Joel Leong, ShopBack
If trusted referrals are a consumers number one channel for making a purchase decision, how do we tap into the scale of that influencer to be a brands number one marketing channel too? In this episode of Flex Your Hustle, Michelle Lomas speaks to Joel Leong, Co-Founder of ShopBack. ShopBack is the leading shopping rewards and payment platform in Asia-Pacific, with over 38 million shoppers across ten markets. The ShopBack premise is simple, consumers pay for goods using the ShopBack app, and a percentage of the sales comes back to them in the form of cash. But while the premise may seem unbeatable, it was Joel and co-founder Henry Chan’s obsession with finding new ways to enhance the customer shopping experience that has propelled this business forward. As Joel shares, their customer is their number one marketing channel, so their entire business model is focused on making them advocates. Find out how in this compelling listen from one of APAC’s most successful founders.

Pivoting at Break Neck Speed with Irene Falcone, Sans Drinks
Sometimes in business, we need to pivot fast. If you wait too long, you might lose your chance. But if you move too quickly, are you seeing the whole picture? What makes a founder confidently move when they know their entire business is on the line?
In this special double episode of Flex Your Hustle, Michelle Lomas speaks to Irene Falcone, Founder of Sans Drinks. This is not the typical Flex Your Hustle episode. Michelle caught Irene on the day that she decided to completely uphaul the entire business model she had been spending years building - and within 24 hours, her new direction was announced to the public. Listen as Irene talks to Michelle about her decision-making process, how listening to her customers gives her a leg up to grow her business, and how her obsession with business performance drives her further.
Irene founded Sans Drinks in 2020 after being frustrated with the low quality, sugar loaded non-alcoholic alternatives that were available in supermarkets and bottle shops. Today, Sans Drinks is Australia’s leading superstore for premium non-alcoholic beer, wine and spirits including Australia’s first physical non-alcoholic bottle shop in Sydney’s Westfield Warringah Mall. Irene is a serial entrepreneur, having launched and sold her previous business Nourished Life for $20Million dollars to ASX listed BWX Limited. Her open and host way of communicating to her customers, and unique approach as the face of her business has generated much applause and fans throughout the years.
