In this episode of In The Company we chat with Dr. Adaobi Udechuku and Dr. Lucinda Smith, co-founders of Glow, a multidisciplinary clinic in Berwick that supports the emotional health and wellbeing of women, infants and families from pre-conception to Kindergarten.

We explore how Adaobi and Lucinda launched their business after seeing gaps in caring for women and their families as they transitioned into parenthood, and created a new mode of care that brings together a spectrum of perinatal healthcare providers under one roof in a unique business model.

We also explore their perspectives in supporting women move in and out of the workforce during this time, and the issues that clients experience in managing careers and family.

In this episode of in the company talk with Ally Watson, co-founder of Code Like A Girl, with a degree in computer science Ally has for the last seven years building websites and apps, and four years ago moved from her homeland of Airlie, Scotland, leaving behind her established professional networks to start over.

It was in this transition she acutely felt the anxiety of not only being a newcomer but also often being the only woman in her team or at an industry networking event. This spurred her to create her own tech events for girls and to create a social enterprise to close the gender gap in a male-dominated industry.

We talk about knowing when to pivot, making a side gig a full-time gig, going from an employee to a manager, and why it’s important to have more women and girls in tech.

In this episode of In The Company we speak with Charles Ng, a co-founder of international award-winning key organiser, Orbitkey. As an industrial designer, Charles saw a way to stop his keys from rattling while he was jogging and started a Kickstarter campaign to raise $10,000 to get the product to market. The highly successful campaign raised over $200,000 and enabled Charles and co-founder Rex Kuo to bring Orbitkey to life. Five years later, Orbitkey won a gold award at the prestigious IF Global Design Awards in Germany. In this episode, we talk about what it takes to run a successful crowdfunding campaign, the importance of having a solid relationship with your manufacturers, how to build an engaged and loyal audience, and why focusing on your company culture matters.

In this episode of in the company, we talk with Dr. Fern White, dental surgeon, founder of an all-female dental practice Beacon Cove Dental, creator of the Practice Your Passion programme for female dentists, and a qualified yoga teacher.

Fern came to Australia by boat as a Vietnamese refugee with her family when she was just two years old. Throughout her life her family strong work ethic pushed her and her siblings to succeed.

In this episode, we talk about how Fern went from a panic attack in the first six months of running her business the way everyone told her she should, to tapping into her own beliefs and wisdom to create a highly successful practice combining her extensive dental training and personal development tools like mindfulness, breathing and reframing.

The combination of modalities represents new ways of dental care for clients and practitioners alike and actually makes going to the dentist an almost pleasant experience.
