1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Britney Saunders, and welcome to Big Business, the

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: place where business is far from boring, and today I'm

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: recording on a wobbical land. Now, I somehow managed to

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: build an empire from the garage underneath my house, and

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm here to share it all with you, from the wins,

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: the mistakes, the challenging times and the funny moments in between. So,

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: whether you're in business already, perhaps you're not in the

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: game at all, maybe you're just looking for some inspo,

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: or you simply just want to hear the tea, this

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: is the podcast for you. Let's talk about fate, my

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: favorite thing to talk about, honestly. In particular, I wanted

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: to dedicate an entire episode to our office renovation and

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: just further chatting about my thoughts on the value which

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: is investing in your environments for your team, because I

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: have had a lot of feedback online recently for any

16
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: of you that don't follow me on socials, which.

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure every line does surely I hope.

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: So a little while ago, we made the decision that

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: we were going to be moving offices. We had been

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: in the same office building for the last six years

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: at fate, which is crazy because I remember signing the

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: first lease at that place, which was three years, and

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: I thought, oh my goodness, that is so long, like

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: what if my business fails before the three years, and

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: and then we ended up signing another three years and

26
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: six years I blinked, and they're gone, which is absolutely nuts.

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: And I had no intentions of.

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: Leaving that building, but an opportunity came my way and

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: we used to rent this content studio space in Newcastle

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: to do photo shoots in and it was like a

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: big content studio in the back, like a warehouse, almost vibe.

32
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: And then in the front. The girl that owned the content.

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: Studio, she had like all these offices in like the

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: front part of the building, which I'd never seen because

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: we'd only ever rented the back. But we found out

36
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: that she was moving because she would like rent out

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: odd little offices to individual businesses and I think it

38
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: wasn't working for her, and so I said, can I

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: come and have a look through the front, And so

40
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: I went and had to look through the front one

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: day when we were shooting in the back, and I

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: was like, oh, like this is absolutely hideous, but I

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: think I could make it work. And so our lease

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: was ending at our address that we had been at

45
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: for six years, and then I knew she was leaving,

46
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: which meant that we weren't going to be able to

47
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: hire her content studio anymore. And I thought, shit, like,

48
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to take out a whole other lease

49
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: just for the content studio, and like it does have

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: like a big office space in the front, but it's

51
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: really fucking ugly. Like it had navy blue gray carpet

52
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: and like white walls that were very blue toned, and

53
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: I was like, God, I think the stars are aligning,

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: and I think I need to move offices and not

55
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: renew my lease after six.

56
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: Years and start a new one.

57
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: And I'm going to have to invest some money into

58
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: this office space and make it nice, because that is

59
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: terrible in there at the moment, and I cannot have

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: my staff working in such a state.

61
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: That's what we did.

62
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: We got in touch with our landlord at our place

63
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: that we'd been at for six years, and they were

64
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: really sad to see us go because we've.

65
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 2: Been there for six years.

66
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: And I guess when you own a commercial property, it's

67
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: hard to find a tenant that's going to stay for

68
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: the long term. And I know for a fact as

69
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: well that when people own commercial properties, they can sit

70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: vacant for years, like it's up for lease at the moment,

71
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: and they've had some people come through. But I know

72
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: for a fact that spaces just sit vacant for years,

73
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: which is really scary for people that own commercial leases.

74
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: So he was really bumped when he found out that

75
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: we were leaving after being there for six years. And

76
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: I like to think we're easy going tenants and we

77
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: never bother anyone for anything. And so, yeah, I signed

78
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: a did I do it? I can't remember if I

79
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: did a two year lisa or a three year lease

80
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: at our new office, but anyway, I signed a new lease.

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: I engaged our builder and I said, all right, we're

82
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: going to do a renovation of this office space. And

83
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: so over the last couple of months, I've done a

84
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: renovation series on my Insta and Fate and on TikTok

85
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: as well, and I thought, I'm going to take everyone

86
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: through the process of renovating a space and show what

87
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: we're going to do. And also I've been talking about

88
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: in my reels and TikTok's why we're doing what we're doing,

89
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: and I wanted to talk about it in depth more

90
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: on the pod because I've posted maybe I don't know

91
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: how many videos in the series eight or something, and

92
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: I've noticed like a trend in the comments of people

93
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: just being shocked at something so simple.

94
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: I want to start out by saying.

95
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: I am in a very privileged position owning a business

96
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: and having enough money to be able to renovate a

97
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: office space that I don't own. I just want to

98
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: start out by saying that not many people can have.

99
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: The luxury of doing such thing. I'm very well aware

100
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: of that.

101
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm very well aware of the fact that people can't

102
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: just easily go and spend sixty grand renovating an office

103
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: space for their staff. And I understand that a lot

104
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: of business owners out there would love to do things

105
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: like that, but they simply can't afford to do it.

106
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: I'm very well.

107
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: Aware of the fact, and I just wanted to set

108
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: the record straight before I get into it. But since

109
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: the very beginning of Fate, I think it's common sense

110
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: if you are signing up to be a business owner,

111
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: the bare minimum that you can do is invest money

112
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: in giving your staff a nice environment to work in. Now,

113
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: I know every environment is different. And we have like

114
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: a big warehouse too, which is pretty neat and clean.

115
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: But I do think of our warehouse, I'm like, oh,

116
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: the warehouse is like not pretty anesthetic. But from day

117
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: one of when I started Fate, even when it was

118
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: at home, my number one priority has always been trying

119
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: to make our work environment nice to work in. We

120
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: spend so much time at work. If you're a business owner,

121
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: your staff spends so much time at work, the least,

122
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: the least that you can do is invest your money

123
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: into making that space nice so that your staff can

124
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: feel comfortable and enjoy showing up there every day. Because,

125
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: let me tell you, I hate I hate when I

126
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: hear someone in my comments saying my boss won't even

127
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: get a new printer because ours is broken. Get the

128
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: fuck out of business. Like I genuinely believe, if you

129
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: are going to be a business owner and you want

130
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: to employ people and you want to have them come

131
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: and do work for you every day, you cannot be tight.

132
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: On the smallest little things.

133
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: And I think having a nice environment is just the

134
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: bare minimum that business owners should offer to their staff

135
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: so they can enjoy their work for their forty plus

136
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: years of their life. I've always felt this way, and

137
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: even back when I first started Fate, when I had

138
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: barely any money, I would always spend money on things

139
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: to make our space nice. Now for example, with when

140
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: I first started Fade at home, and again, I know

141
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: it's really hard in different industries. You know, like I

142
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: own a cafe, and like our cafe is nice, but

143
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, it is a bit. It's a cafe, Like

144
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: you know, there's sandwich presses and coffee machines, Like it's

145
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: not a beautiful office. So like, depending on your environment,

146
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: it's going to be different how nice you can make

147
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: it for your staff or if they're in a kitchen,

148
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: Like a kitchen's a kitchen. You can't have all pretty

149
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: artworks and stuff on the wall when someone's working in

150
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: a kitchen. And same without our warehouse. Our warehouse is

151
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: really nice.

152
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: And neat and clean and open.

153
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: But again, like I can't put floorboards in our warehouse

154
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: and put nice artworks on the wall in the warehouse

155
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: because a warehouse is a warehouse. It's always going to

156
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: have that warehouse vibe and feel. But even you know,

157
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: when I started Fate and we were in our garage

158
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: underneath the house, again, I couldn't make that really nice.

159
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: I had to make do with the space that we

160
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: had and try to make it nice. But I remember

161
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: we also had a spare bedroom in that house, and

162
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: that's where we would kind of go and sit and

163
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: do stuff on our laptops. And I remember when I

164
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: first started FATE, I was like, O hey, I want

165
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: to try and make my spare bedroom really nice, you know,

166
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: because I wanted my one employee at the time to

167
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: feel nice when she was working in my spare room.

168
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: And back then, like I didn't have like heaps of

169
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: money to blow on like a fancy anything, but you know,

170
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: I made sure that I went to office Works and

171
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: I got a nice white, shiny desk for us to

172
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,559
Speaker 1: work at. I went to Kmart and got nice little

173
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: fake plants. I got a nice Kmart wooden rack that

174
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: I would hang all of our samples on and so

175
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: it looked all pretty. And I remember like the first

176
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: thing that I bought that felt like a branded thing

177
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: was I got some letter cutouts like FAYT and I

178
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: got like a sign making company to make these cutouts.

179
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was made from. It was

180
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: like plastic or wood or combined but I got like

181
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: these letter cutouts and I had them like blue tacked

182
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: to the wall like a Fate sign. And I just

183
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: wanted to make my spare bedroom feel like a nice

184
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, a nice space to work in. And ever

185
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: since then, back in the day, in the early days

186
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: of Fate, that's always been a priority of mine. We

187
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: moved out of that house of mine and into our

188
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: first little warehouse and it was ninety square meters.

189
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: Ninety square meters is tiny. It's a shoe box.

190
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: I remember trying to make that as nice as I

191
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: could at the time. And in that ninety square meter warehouse,

192
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: we had our e com photography area, We had our

193
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: little packing table, we had our desks that we were

194
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: working at, and then we had all of our racks

195
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: with all of our stock on it. And I remember

196
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: even then like going and getting a nice round rug

197
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: and I put that in the warehouse with like a

198
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: pink chair on it, and I just I put the

199
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: Fate letters up on the wall, and I just tried

200
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: to make that warehouse nice. It is really hard to

201
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: make a warehouse nice, but I really tried then, and

202
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: like got all cute stationery and stuff, and then from

203
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: that warehouse.

204
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: When we moved into our first office, I.

205
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: Went all out and I bought like pink lounges, like

206
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: all nice new furniture. I was very in my pink era,

207
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: Like I went to Kmart and brought like pink pen holders.

208
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: I got everyone pink notepads and books diaries, like all

209
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: new stationery. And I got really excited about that and

210
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: set it up all beautifully. And I honestly had three

211
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: employees at the time, but I was so excited for

212
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: them to walk in and see their nice new working environment,

213
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: because the satisfaction that you get out of seeing someone

214
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: walk into their workplace and like feel excited about it,

215
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: Like it's just absolutely priceless. And AJ and I have

216
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: like had this unspoken rule because we've moved offices a

217
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: lot over the last seven plus years. The rule has

218
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: always been that our staff have never set up a

219
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: new office space. AJ and I have always just got

220
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: in and done it together and set the thing up ourselves,

221
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: because we always want it to be like a nice

222
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: surprise for everyone to walk in and be like, oh

223
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: my god.

224
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: This looks amazing.

225
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: And we have such an amazing team that have always

226
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: said to us with every move do you want us

227
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: to help, Like, do you want us to come in

228
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: and like put all everything together and set everything up?

229
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: And every time, like Nolpe, I want aj and I

230
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: to do this together because I want it to be

231
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: for them. I don't want them to have to set

232
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: it all up. You know, it's a different story when

233
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: it comes to setting up the stores. We're all fucking

234
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: chipping in and doing that together, because that's a massive job.

235
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: We made the decision a couple of months back to

236
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: move into this new space, and I've taken everyone on

237
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: the journey on my socials of renovating it. And whilst like,

238
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: we absolutely could have moved into the space as it was,

239
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: because it was just like a standard commercial property, like

240
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: something in me is like I just I want to

241
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: have like a really nice space where our team members

242
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: can show up and work in.

243
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: So we did all the flooring.

244
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: It had the dark blue gray carpet, we ripped that

245
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: all up. We've done all like floating floorboards, we painted

246
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: the entire interior. All the officers in the space didn't

247
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: have any windows, so every room was windowless, which just feels.

248
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: Like they'll fucking crush your soul.

249
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, working in the office with no windows will

250
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: crush your soul. It will be fine, you know, every

251
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: now and then to sit in a room with no windows.

252
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm in this studio right now. It has

253
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: no windows, and it's fine for now. But if I

254
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: had to show up every day and sit in a

255
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: cubicle that has no windows, it's going to crush your soul.

256
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: And if you want to have a high performing team,

257
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: you've got to have a highly beautiful space for them

258
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: to work in. Like, I think that's the way that

259
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: it works. Because even I know for myself personally, if

260
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm showing up somewhere to work and it's dark and

261
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: it's gloomy and it's ugly, and you know, it feels

262
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: cold and there's no natural light or whatever it may be, like,

263
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: I know that I'm not going to perform my best.

264
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: We thrive when we're in a nice environment. And so

265
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: that's why it's always just been like a no brainer

266
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: for me to spend money on things, on things and stuff,

267
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: and people will say like, oh, you know, why would

268
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: you spend money on that if you don't own the property,

269
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: Because I'm not investing, Like, I don't see it as

270
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: me investing in the commercial space, which is going to

271
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: benefit the landlord in the long run, which it absolutely is,

272
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: Like this landlord's going to be fucking licking their lips

273
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: if they see the space or if they've seen my video,

274
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be like, fuck, she's added so much

275
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: value to our office. But I am not seeing it

276
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: that way. I see it as I'm investing in my team.

277
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm investing in my team. And it's been really eye

278
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: opening to share the behind the scenes of this office

279
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: renovation over the last couple of months because the amount

280
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: of comments that I get from people saying, wow, like

281
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: if this is what my office looked like, like I

282
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: think I would genuinely like showing up to work every day.

283
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,479
Speaker 2: And when we were you know, in the planning.

284
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: Stages of what this space was going to look like,

285
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: I said to aj I want this to feel like

286
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: a home. I wanted to feel as homely as possible,

287
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: Like I want people to just walk in and feel comfortable,

288
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: like they can just relax and like sink into their

289
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: chair and then you know, just over the weekend or

290
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: two weekends ago, I posted all my final reveal videos

291
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: in the walkthrough and like one of the number one

292
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: comments that we got was it looks like someone's house,

293
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: and like, you guys are just plunked desks and chairs

294
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: in someone's house, and that's I was like, yes, that's

295
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: exactly what I was going for. So I love that

296
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: people on social media picked up on that because I'm like, yep,

297
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: mission accomplished. I honestly see spending money on environments as

298
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: an investment. We spend thousands of dollars on so many

299
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: things for the business, Like we spend thousands of dollars

300
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: on ads every week, Why don't we spend thousands of

301
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: dollars like to invest in the people that are helping

302
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: us make money in our business. Like it just it's

303
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: an absolute no brainer for me. And everyone has been

304
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: so excited, you know, since we've moved into the new

305
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: office a few weeks back.

306
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: Now, Like I wasn't there on their first day.

307
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: I was bloody podcasting, so I was so bummed that

308
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: I didn't get to walk them all through, but I

309
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: made sure AJ walked everyone through, and they were all

310
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: so excited, like they were messaging me blowing up my

311
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: phone saying, oh my god, we love it, we love

312
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: it so much. And even though like our office before

313
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: was also very nice. It was very different to the

314
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: one that we're in. Like we've seen like almost like

315
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: a massive spiritual shift in our team since we've moved

316
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: into this new space, Like because it's just gotten everyone

317
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: feeling so inspired and so excited and they're like loving it.

318
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: They're feeling comfortable. I got everyone a pair of slippers.

319
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: So my love language is gifts, by the way, Like

320
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: I just want to put that out there in case

321
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: you can't tell.

322
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: My love language is gifts.

323
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: So maybe this all ties into that as well, Like

324
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: I love buying someone something and making them feel good

325
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: in through gifts. So I got everyone like a pair

326
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: of slippers, and people saw that in our videos, like, oh.

327
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: My god, everyone's got slippers at their desk. I wish

328
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: I had slippers at my desks.

329
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell your boss to fucking fork out fifteen bucks

330
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: to get your pair of slippers.

331
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: Like it's just the least that.

332
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: We can do to make people feel comfortable in the

333
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: place that they spend so much time in. I thought

334
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: I would also say as well, this is also one

335
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: of the privileges of being a smaller business where I'm

336
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: in control of everything, right, because a lot of businesses

337
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: out there are massive corporations. They're so massive and corporate

338
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: that you know they're too far big and gone to

339
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: like have this kind of way of running their business

340
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: where the owner is like, yes, let's invest money in

341
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: nice furniture and warm interiors and soft lighting to make

342
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: everyone feel nice. So I feel really lucky in a

343
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: sense that my business is the size that it is,

344
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: where we're not some massive corporate conglomerate and I'm still

345
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: involved in the day to day so that I can

346
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: make sure that we're doing things like this, and no

347
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: matter how big our business gets, I want to ensure

348
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: that these I guess values that I'm putting into fate

349
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: now saying we must have a nice working environment for

350
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: our office team members stays in the company no matter

351
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: how big it gets, because it's just priceless. Like the

352
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: payoff that you get having a nice environment is priceless.

353
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: You will literally make more money in your business if

354
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: you have a nice office for your staff to work in,

355
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: because they're going to show up to work and feel happier.

356
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: They're going to show up to work and feel warmth, comfort,

357
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,239
Speaker 1: and then they might love their job a little bit

358
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: more and work that little bit harder, Like it pays

359
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: off in so so many ways. I talk so much

360
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: about community here on the pod. I always talk about

361
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: the fake community, but our community is also internal. Like, yes,

362
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: we've got our external community and our customers and people

363
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: that support us by following us on socials, but our

364
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: internal community is just as important and just as power

365
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: or fall as our external community.

366
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: So me investing within our team.

367
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: I know, I keep repeating myself, I'm repeating myself at

368
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: this point, but like it's just fucking priceless. I know

369
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: a lot of bosses out there like have a different

370
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: mindset and maybe this again is like a privilege of

371
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: being like a younger millennial boss where I feel like

372
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: I use a lot of common sense when it comes

373
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: to running my business. Maybe that's from working so many

374
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: jobs back in the day and just working at all

375
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: different places. But for me, having a nice working environment

376
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: is always going to be a priority for me. I

377
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: never want to, you know, shove my staff in a dark,

378
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: gloomy office and say off, you go, go be creative,

379
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, because it just doesn't work that way.

380
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: And like the same goes for our stores.

381
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: Like that's why our five stores are also beautiful, because yes,

382
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: we want it to be a beautiful experience for our

383
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: customers to come in and shop. But also like, I

384
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: feel like it's really nice for our retail teams to

385
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: have a beautiful store that they can hang out in

386
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: every day. And again, like they're in that shop all day,

387
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: seven days a week, I want them to enjoy it

388
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: and feel nice in that store, not some store that

389
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: just leaves them feeling uninspired. So spending money on internal things,

390
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: even if I'm renting, is always going to be a

391
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: priority for me. So yeah, in case you haven't worked

392
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: out by this point in the episode, investing in your

393
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: office space or your workspace, or even if you're just

394
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: working from your spare bedroom at home. I said this

395
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: in my broadcast channel on Instagram the other day, which,

396
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: by the way, you need to join if you haven't already.

397
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: It's just called Secret Boardroom and it's on my Instagram page.

398
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: I said, like, investing even in the smallest thing can

399
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: make the world of difference, And you don't have to

400
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: go out like me and spend sixty thousand dollars on

401
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: renovating a new office. I understand not everyone is in

402
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: that position. To be able to do that, and I'm

403
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: very grateful, and I know I'm extremely privileged to be

404
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: able to have that kind of money to spend on

405
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff.

406
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 2: But even if it's.

407
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: Just as little as some you know, stationary from kmart

408
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: and like a cute little desk plan, maybe a little

409
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: artwork from Kmart or like anything that you can do,

410
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: that's what I've always done since the beginning of Fate

411
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: and it really it really pays off, and you'll feel

412
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: good about it too, like not only did my staff

413
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: benefit from our new office, I do like I'm fucking

414
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: loving it sick. I didn't even want to leave there

415
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: this morning to come here to do the podcast because

416
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: it just feels so nice.

417
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: And I'm heading back there this afternoon.

418
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you back soon, girls, And we're all

419
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: just walking around with our slippers on. The heat is

420
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: on because it's a bit cold, and we're just absolutely

421
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: loving it. If you want a high performing team, give

422
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: them a high performing environment. The office isn't a cost center,

423
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: it's a culture center. And that's all I've got to

424
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: say on that. I'm going to leave you with a

425
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: tip of the week. I can't do another lazy tip

426
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: of the week's and where I say invest in your

427
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: team and give them a nice office to work in.

428
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: But that is the tip of the week, but it's not.

429
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: Let me think of something, Okay, tip of the week

430
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: for you. We're talking so much about content on big

431
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 1: business these days. Try posting a carousel to Instagram and

432
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: use a song on the top.

433
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: Because we've been posting.

434
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: Like reels a billion reels a day every day for

435
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: the last few years, and we've been doing a couple

436
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: of carousel posts lately and they've actually been performing pretty well.

437
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: And what makes it really engaging as well if you

438
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: can do a carousel and tell a story through your carousel,

439
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: and you can even put little text on your carousel.

440
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: So maybe you've got a series of photos that tells

441
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: the story and on each story put text with little

442
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: arrow pointing for people to swipe to the next one.

443
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: Try that as a post. Surely you've got photos of

444
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: something you could even share your business journey.

445
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: I think I might do one.

446
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: I haven't done one yet where you're like you share

447
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: photos of like you know over the years and where

448
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: you started and where you are now. Post a carousel

449
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: and pick a cool song to go over the top,

450
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: because we've been doing a few of those on Fate

451
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: lately and they actually perform really well. So I think

452
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: Instagram is kind of favoring carousels lately. So that's my

453
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: tip of the week. Give it a go and let

454
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: us know in the Big Business Podcast Instagram account DMS

455
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: how it went. Give it a well, you never know anyway.

456
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: That's all for today's episode of Big Business. Feel free

457
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: to go check out our office if you haven't already.

458
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: It's on my Instagram. I'm absolutely loving it. I literally

459
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm already obsessed with work and now I just literally

460
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: don't want to go home, Like I feel like I've

461
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: made the office nicer than my house. I'm like, I'm

462
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to have like a sleepover pizza party, like

463
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: up in the boardroom or something because it's so nice.

464
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: Zandy, You're gonna have to come to Newcastle one day.

465
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: I can't believe I still haven't been to any like,

466
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 3: I haven't been to outdo coffee, I haven't been to
