1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Job mission with Jones and Amanda. 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 2: Our next guest is a wonderful all rounder. She's a 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 2: TV presenter, she's an entrepreneur, but did you know she 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,239 Speaker 2: started as an investment banker. This is why she can 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 2: run her business so well. We're talking about Sally over 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 2: me that and she's part of a project to help 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 2: other small businesses navigate their way through the pandemic. Sally, Hello, 8 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 2: Hi guys, how you going good? 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 3: How you being? 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: Ah? You know lockdown? 11 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 2: Oh it's tough, isn't it. I know that you have 12 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 2: a successful business called Swish, and I follow all your 13 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 2: socials and things, and I know you you're doing a 14 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: lot of great stuff. But if you had to pivot 15 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: through all of this, have you had to move more online? 16 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 2: What changes have you had to make? 17 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, We've had to definitely change. I think like all businesses, 18 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: and I think one of the big things is also 19 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,279 Speaker 1: just looking after your team. I think more than ever, 20 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: you're having to actually look after your team, look after 21 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: their mental health. And one's working from home. I'm sort 22 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: of separated people are, you know, might be juggling home 23 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: school length. So we're having to kind of, I guess, 24 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: spend more time really just making sure everyone's okay. And 25 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: then of course you've got all your logistical kind of issues. 26 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: You know, things are slowing down, it's harder to get things, 27 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: it's harder to get stuff to your customers. So yeah, 28 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: we're definitely having to adapt, and I think all businesses are. 29 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: I was watching the news the other night and ares 30 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: this motel owner in Byron Bray and she just was 31 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 3: beside herself as she was trying to put on a 32 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 3: brave face, but then she just kind of broke down 33 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 3: in the news story. So, you know, it's easy if 34 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 3: you're employed and you're getting paid. If you're a small business, 35 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 3: how do you get through this? 36 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: Really, it's actually really tough. And I think the thing 37 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: is is that most I think you know, most business 38 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: owners end up either like dipping into their savings or 39 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: they cut back on groceries. Ly, they do stuff because 40 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: everyone ultimately really wants to keep their staff employed. I 41 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: think when you run a business, you're always thinking about 42 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: how can you make sure everyone still has a job 43 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: at the end of this. This is actually something's very 44 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: important for us, and you want to make sure the 45 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: business stays afloat, you know, And I think that that's 46 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: a really tough thing. I think people need to understand 47 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: that it's really difficult for business owners and you've got 48 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: to kind of I sometimes say to employees, if you 49 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: can try and you know, think of what it's like 50 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: for that business owner who's desperately trying to keep you 51 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: in a job, you know, doing all they can. As 52 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: you said, we try to keep a brave faith. That's 53 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: not always easy. 54 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: So what do you suggest for people who are in 55 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 2: that position? Where do they go? What do they do? 56 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: So definitely, I think get any help you can get. 57 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: I think a couple of things. I think always it's 58 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: important to talk. I think like in any issue, you 59 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: need to find other people who are going through it 60 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: so you can offload. That's a really big thing. And 61 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: then I think any kind of support this there is, 62 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: whether it's with your bank, whether it's any government glances, 63 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: anything that you can get, please take it. You know. 64 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: I've actually been working with vis to Print, especially because 65 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: they wanted to help some businesses and they've chosen six 66 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: Ozzy brands. They gave them a full brand, refresh marketing materials, 67 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: and fifteen thousand dollars cash because they realized that actually 68 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: that's what people in a small business need. They need 69 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: this sort of help. 70 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 3: You know what I do well, I know we spend 71 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 3: all our money on our little dollies in our TV ads. 72 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 3: I don't know if you've seen them, Sally, I have. 73 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: And I love them. 74 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 3: The other thing would you do? 75 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: Well? 76 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 3: Amanda's idea was one of those inflatable wavy guys out 77 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 3: in the front of the building. 78 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 2: Not everyone in the world would see it, but a few. 79 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: Would, suggesting we could put all our money into that, 80 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: and I said, well, let's go with dollies instead.
