What’s the REAL story behind successful Aussie female businesses? Not the ones that started with huge social media accounts, high public profiles or tonnes of cash. The businesses that actually started from scratch.

Join Founder of BABY Pink Gin, Ellen Weigall, as she sips a G&T with the women behind some of the brands you love, plus women who can offer down-to-earth advice that may just make the difference for YOUR business or career.

Meet Maddie Gleeson, the Founder and Director of Melbourne-based company I Am Thirsty which produces dehydrated garnishes to compliment any cocktail.

A company that has evolved into a successful partnership that is helping businesses of all sizes put a visual brand to their name.
