    LAP 9: How Bestselling Author And Medical Student, Alexia Paglia, Is Rethinking Health Literacy In The Age Of Information Overload

    Alexia Paglia works in a system where information is everywhere and understanding is not. In this episode of Full Throttle, Alexia breaks down why health misinformation thrives in an age of unlimited access and how AI, wellness culture, social media and oversimplified narratives have quietly distorted health literacy. We talk about why knowing the facts isn’t enough, why storytelling matters just as much as science, and how trust (not fear) shapes real health outcomes. Alexia takes us back to the moment she realised healthcare wasn’t just something to study but something she wanted to change. Drawing on her experience across biotech, health data, clinical trials and now medicine, she shares the gaps the system still doesn’t address, especially for young people and families, and how those blind spots led her to inclusive medical education and bestselling children’s books. We also talk about translating complex science without dumbing it down, holding confidence while still learning and what it means to build credibility early, including being named Young Sydneysider of the Year, in a field that doesn’t always make room for new voices. This conversation is about who health knowledge is built for, who gets left out and what changes when understanding becomes the priority.

    LAP 8: How Katie Mildren Built Katharina Lou - Inspired By Her Mum's Vintage Wardrobe And A Good Cosmopolitan

    Founder of Katharina Lou, Katie Mildren has built a brand defined by colour, confidence and a very clear point of view, at a moment when much of fashion feels oddly beige. In this episode of Full Throttle, Katie unpacks why boldness matters in a cycle-obsessed industry, where playing it safe has become the default. We talk about where Katharina Lou sits within the new wave of slow-fashion labels reshaping modern Australian style and how to hold your nerve when trends are loud, fast and fleeting. Katie takes us back to the early days, the moment she realised the brand had legs, not just a hobby, and the decisions that helped take Katharina Lou from idea to cult favourite. We get into growing without overreaching, building desirability without hype and why identity will always outperform virality. There’s also a candid look at positioning... feeling high-end without being closed-off, balancing creative control with commercial reality,and protecting the Katharina Lou world (the prints, the pinks, the unapologetic joy) as the brand scales. We also talk through launching during isolation, the decisions that tested the business and how Katie protects her creative focus in an industry that rewards more, faster, louder. This episode is about taste with backbone, optimism with discipline, and building a fashion brand that knows exactly who it is and has no interest in diluting it.

    LAP 7: How Marcella Bava Turned Eating On Camera Into A Business With 32K Followers (& Why We Will Always Trust Her With Our Dinner Plans)

    Marcella Bava (@cella.bava) operates in a corner of the internet where taste still carries weight. In this episode of Full Throttle, Marcella unpacks why food reviewing has exploded, why we’re collectively obsessed with where to eat and why taste is the real currency online. We talk Dubai chocolate, where to actually find good matcha, and the craft (and logistics) of looking good while eating on camera. Marcella gets candid about cancelling social cancel culture, navigating paid versus authentic content and the moment she realised her account wasn’t just a place to post food, it was a business. We also talk about creator fatigue, being tired of always being “on” and how she’s managed to build credibility in a space where audiences are increasingly sceptical. This conversation is about restraint in a feed built on excess, discernment in a culture of hype and why people trust Marcella, even when someone else might say the same thing.

    LAP 6: How Belle Maartensz Built Avant Studio in a World Obsessed With What’s Next

    Founder of Avant Studio, Belle Maartensz has built a jewellery brand that feels high-end and accessible, without chasing trends, virality or what’s “next.” In this episode of Full Throttle, Belle unpacks the tension between timeless design and fast-moving trend cycles, and how Avant Studio has grown from concept to cult following by doing less, better. We talk about building desire without relying on hype, staying small-batch and considered while scaling, and what it actually takes to create a brand that feels high-end but still accessible. Belle shares her approach to clarity and restraint in a world that rewards more, faster and louder, and why those qualities have become Avant’s quiet advantage. We also talk about opening a brick-and-mortar Summer Residency in Manly, the role of physical retail in a digital-first world and designing pieces that feel at home on women like Olivia Dean... understated and confident. This conversation is about taste as strategy, growth without dilution and building a brand that knows exactly who it’s for, and doesn’t need to shout to be heard.

    LAP 5: How Drew Solomon Built Redrew Clothing - Quietly Setting the Standard (And The Case For A Good Pair Of Vintage Boots)

    Drew Solomon, founder of Redrew Clothing, is building her brand with an understanding that quality takes time, money and intent. In this episode of Full Throttle, Drew breaks down what it actually takes to build a fashion label from scratch: the cost, the timelines, the small production runs and the constant trade-off between creative experimentation and commercial reality. We talk about why most people underestimate just how expensive the process is, from first sketch to finished garment, and why loving design isn’t enough if the numbers don’t work. We get into Drew's love of and eye for vintage, how Redrew is proudly made in Australia (despite how hard it is to find manufacturers that still exist) and how that decision shapes the brand’s identity and legacy. Drew also shares how a slow, small-run approach has worked so far and what will need to change as Redrew scales and looks toward global online retailers. This conversation is about building a fashion brand with taste, discipline and commercial clarity, and understanding that creativity only works when the business does too.

    LAP 4: How Yuliya Lozovyk Built The Fragrance Brand The Market Was Missing - Redefining Body Mist As Accessible Luxury

    Founder of By Yuliya Fragrances, Yuliya Lozovyk is building a fragrance brand in the space most other brands overlook... not high-end perfume, not cheap body spray, but something in between. In this episode of Full Throttle, Yuliya breaks down what accessible luxury actually means and why fragrance mists represent a whitespace opportunity in the perfume market. We get into the alchemy of creating a scent, building a brand with taste and commercial clarity, and what it looks like to explore potential retail partnerships without losing the soul of the product. Yuliya shares the influence of being surrounded by successful female entrepreneurs, the importance of visible female role models and how proximity to ambition shapes both confidence and decision-making. This conversation is about defining what accessible luxury is, building a brand that understands exactly where it sits and why that’s its power.

    LAP 3: How Annabel Hay Built Clutch Glue - From Bootstrapping to Forbes 30 Under 30 & Shark Tank’s Best Pitch

    Founder of Clutch Glue, Annabel Hay is proof that overnight success usually takes years and a lot of very unglamorous work. In this episode of Full Throttle, Annabel talks honestly about bootstrapping, why keeping a full-time job in the early days was one of the smartest things she did for the business and why entrepreneurship is far less glamorous (and far more humbling) than it looks from the outside. We get into what it’s like to be named in Forbes 30 Under 30, deliver what’s been called the best pitch in Shark Tank Australia history and the challenges that come with international expansion. Annabel also talks about why the Kardashians inspire her as a masterclass in brand, distribution and staying culturally relevant. This convo is about ambition without delusion and the very real challenges that come with scaling a global brand.

    LAP 2: How Lianna Patete Is Building Kitched To Completely Transform How We Cook

    Founder of Kitched, Lianna Patete questioned something we rarely stop to interrogate: why cooking has turned into content instead of a practice. In this episode of Full Throttle, we unpack the paradox at the heart of food culture right now... our obsession with recipe content versus our collective desire to spend less time on social media. Lianna shares how Kitched is solving this tension, moving cooking away from scrolling and back into the kitchen, where it belongs. Lianna opens up about the glamorisation of sacrifice as a young founder, the pressure to rush milestones and why slowing down has become one of her most strategic decisions. We talk about building Kitched with intention, what it really takes to bring a product to market (including the much-anticipated 2026 app launch) and how resisting urgency can be a competitive advantage. This conversation explores why Kitched represents the future of cooking, the cultural resurgence of the dinner party and what happens when we trade speed for substance in business, in food and in how we gather.

    LAP 1: How Eddie Nelson Built The Bred Method After Breathwork Changed Her Life

    Founder of Bred, Eddie Nelson didn’t set out to build a breathwork business, she set out to understand her own anxiety and stop living in permanent fight-or-flight. In this episode of Full Throttle, Eddie breaks down the difference between anxiety and intuition, and how learning to regulate her nervous system through breathwork quietly changed everything. We get into what it actually means to move out of chronic stress and into a parasympathetic state, and how that shift reshaped her relationship with her mind and body. We talk about Eddie’s path into breathwork, how it surfaced things she thought she’d already dealt with and why breathwork is cutting through now, in a world that's overstimulated, over-scheduled and constantly online. Eddie also shares how she’s taken an inherently experiential, in-person practice and scaled it online through Bred, without losing its depth or impact. This conversation is about regulation over reactivity, intuition over noise and what it really looks like to build a business (and a life) from a regulated nervous system.
