Actually, I'm 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 4: just I was just probably too busy at the start, 22 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 4: raising a family and doing a business to think to 23 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 4: label myself anything. To be honest, and also to be honest, 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 4: entrepreneurs make horrible business. 25 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: People, right, good point, You're supposed to build it and 26 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,919 Speaker 2: then sell it. Isn't that how it works? 27 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 4: No, Entrepreneurs tend to get so excited about the product 28 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 4: they see another bright light and then they focus on 29 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 4: that next bright light before they actually get their original business. 30 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 3: Up and running. 31 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: Right.

Can 33 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 2: you just one more time tell us about that trip 34 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: to the US and why that made you think about 35 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: opening a juice bar. 36 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 4: So it wasn't necessarily just opening a juice bar. It 37 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 4: was a time when I was thirty two years old. 38 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 4: I've had my third child, my third son, He is 39 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 4: about seven months old, and I decided that I didn't 40 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 4: want to work for anyone again, and I wanted to 41 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 4: start my own business. And it was really with my husband. 42 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 4: We sort of looked at a number of businesses and 43 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 4: dabbled in a couple of them that didn't actually go 44 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 4: very far, didn't do that well that it was actually 45 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 4: going with him. 46 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 3: He was in radio. 47 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 4: We went over to America for a radio junket and 48 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 4: I saw the category over there that was smoothis and juices. 49 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 3: But to be honest, I didn't really like their concepts. 50 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 4: So I came back to Australia with zero business experience 51 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 4: and wrote up a business plan called that I called 52 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 4: the Boost Juice Bars, and off we went. 53 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: How hard was it to get going? 54 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 4: Look? Do you know what people think business is a 55 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 4: really complicated thing, But I think they over complicated. You know, 56 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 4: I think business is really simple. You know, you find 57 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 4: out what the customer wants and give it to them. 58 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 3: And all I. 59 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 4: Approached all the businesses I've ever done, has been how 60 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 4: do I deliver on a promise to my customers and 61 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 4: how do I make sure every customer loves what we 62 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 4: do and wants to keep coming back. And with that view, 63 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 4: every decision I made in the business was based on 64 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 4: what the customer needs. Amount of businesses they come across 65 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 4: and they say, oh, the customer comes second to a 66 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 4: system that their business can do or the point of 67 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 4: sale can't actually do a certain thing which would be 68 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 4: better for the customer, but the customer has to suffer 69 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 4: for a system of a business. So for me, it 70 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 4: was all about it's a customer has to rule in 71 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 4: every element. 72 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: And marketing was a big thing for you too, and 73 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: you gave away he boost Juice Bar and Melbourne Radio. 74 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, current of marketing was everything and actual fact, if 75 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 4: you called our business, it's more of a marketing business 76 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 4: than it was anything else. And it was approached in 77 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 4: that way. It was always about driving sales, driving awareness 78 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 4: and people really understanding what the brand stood for. And 79 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 4: I think that you know, quite often entrepreneurs, if we 80 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 4: go back to that saying, they are people who understand 81 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 4: what their product is and get very very passionate about 82 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 4: their product and brand. 83 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 3: And that's definitely. 84 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 4: Us luckily we you know, particularly myself, I had a 85 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 4: very mechanical brain that could put all the bits and 86 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 4: pieces and all some bolts that makes a business a 87 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 4: business under that vision and brand and passion that we 88 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 4: have for delivering on our customers to make the business 89 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 4: it is today. 90 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: Stay with me, Jeanine, we'll be back in a minute. 91 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: I'm speaking to boost Ju's founder, entrepreneur Jeanine Alice.

And you know you can sort of sit 178 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 4: there and be guilty about all sorts of things you've done, 179 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 4: but it's just such a waste of energy. 180 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: Your business retail Zoo, which is the parent company to 181 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: some of your interests such as boost jus main his 182 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 2: partner is an owner of that as well. What's it 183 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 2: like getting an outside investment firm in and working with them? 184 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: Was that difficult? 185 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 3: Look? 186 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 4: You know, any partnership in any form, including a marriage, 187 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 4: is not easy at different times. But I think if 188 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 4: you've got mutual respect and a mutual goal, then it works. 189 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 4: And I must admit all the partners we've had in 190 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 4: the whole journey of Boosts. 191 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 3: There's been many. 192 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 4: Different partners have come and gone in different stages of 193 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 4: that twenty two year journey. I must admit I've always 194 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 4: maintained great respect for my partners because the end of 195 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 4: the day, I wouldn't have made them a partner if 196 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 4: I didn't believe they could add something to the business 197 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 4: or had some skill. I mean with Retail Zoo and Boost, 198 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 4: we never saw it as something, as I said to 199 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 4: you before, with kids. I never went right building this 200 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 4: business to hand down to my son or my daughter. 201 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 4: I always built it to go, Okay, I'm building it 202 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 4: for myself and my husband, and then. 203 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 3: If the kids want to do it, then we can 204 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 3: consider that. But it was never that was never the goal. 205 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 4: So for me, getting into private equity like Bain or 206 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 4: Riverside early before them was always an ability for me 207 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 4: to learn how to run a bigger business because sometimes 208 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 4: as an entrepreneur it's hard to run businesses at different stages. 209 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 4: I mean, right now, you know we have a management 210 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 4: team run by CEO as the shah Da Lani, who 211 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 4: are doing an incredible job. You know in some respects, 212 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 4: you know, a better job than probably I could have done, 213 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 4: and so, and I think that's what your goal is. 214 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 3: Like a business is like a kid. 215 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 4: You know, when they're little, you have to you know, 216 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 4: without your one hundred percent focus, they die, right, And 217 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 4: so as they get the kids get older, when they 218 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 4: don't need you as much. Really, your goal is there 219 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 4: to be there as a mentor, as a guide, and 220 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 4: someone there for when they need you. And I think 221 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 4: that it's really important. There's entrepreneurs and business owners that 222 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 4: we constantly every single day are trying to do yourself 223 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 4: out of a job and hiring better people, smarter and 224 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 4: better than us. 225 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: Janine, I've got to ask, you've had a lot of 226 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 2: success in TV Shark Tank. I get that celebrity Apprentice, 227 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 2: I get Less Survivor. I have no idea you made 228 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: it to day forty four on Survivor. Anyone who knows 229 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: that sh knows how tough that is. How'd you do it? 230 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 4: Didn't look you know, when they asked me to do it, 231 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 4: the first thing I thought was, oh my god, I'm 232 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 4: going to say to this. And the reason the reason 233 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 4: I knew i'd say yes is that life's to be lived. 234 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 4: You know, I was never an entrepreneur, but an adventure 235 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 4: or I was, you know, at twenty one years old, 236 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 4: I put a backpack on my back and traveled around 237 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 4: the world as a young girl who had no idea. 238 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 3: And so for me, I don't know how. 239 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 4: Many lives I've got this life here. It depends on 240 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 4: what you believe. But if I've only got one, I 241 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 4: want to live it to the max. And if you 242 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 4: have that view, and so one says to you, hey, 243 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 4: do you want to go and have an experience to 244 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 4: really test yourself? And like, I've always been really sporty. 245 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 4: You know, I've played netball at a fairly high level 246 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 4: and I can pretty much turn most of my hand 247 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 4: to most sport. So I felt like the physical aspect 248 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 4: of it, I would have been okay with even this 249 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 4: fact that the fact. 250 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 3: That I was probably one of the oldest people there. 251 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 3: But really I found that I really relished in that experience. 252 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 4: You know, not eating didn't bother me, Sleeping in the 253 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 4: dirt didn't like, nothing really bothered me. It was just 254 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 4: me going, okay, I'm on this experience. And at any 255 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 4: point I could turn to the producer and say get 256 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 4: me out of here, but that never was going to happen. 257 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 4: But look, you know, and I've got an incredible friend 258 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 4: out but Pem Miranda is still to this day, you know, 259 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 4: one of my best friends. 260 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 3: And just that experience, it's actually quite incredible. 261 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 2: So what next? 262 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: What's the next? I'm still trying to work out what 263 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 3: I'm want to be when I grow up. 264 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 4: It was just announced I've got a new TV show 265 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 4: coming up next year with Gordon Ramsay called Food Stars. 266 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 4: So yeah, and that will be a lot of fun.

It's 268 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 4: it's like survivor, It's like something different challenges me. This 269 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 4: puts me out of my comfort zone. And to be honest, 270 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 4: it's just fun, like you're creating something really cool. So 271 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 4: that'll be fun.
