1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Jump Mission with Jones and Amanda. At the very beginning

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, Todd McKenney decided to help his friends

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: in the industry who needed who needed work. So you

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: designed well, Todd, you tell us the story. You started

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: with masks and now you've branched out.

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 2: We did. We my business partner and I SATs and

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 2: I came up with this idea to help members of

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: our industry who had literally flat lined. And we thought

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: the sewers in our theatrical industry, so sos from the

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: ballet or opera, theater, movies, television, So we sent them

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: out of little emails. So do you want to make

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: masks to help keep the Australian public safe but also

13
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: help your machines keep moving? We are we commerce experts,

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: like sas is a wee commerce expert social we commerce yeah,

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: so online marketplace basically. So she had the experts, there

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: are a better name we commerce. Well, it sounds like

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: a fetti said, it's masks, so it is. And anyway,

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: we sent this email out to all our sewers and

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: we were inundated. So they're using beautiful fabrics from shows

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: and things. We then launched the platform and we just

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: hold their hand all the way through and teach them

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: how to sell directly to the public and load their products.

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: And we've now had over four hundred thousand people visit

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: our site since we launched it, not only a couple

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: of months ago. We've raised about eighty thousand dollars for

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 2: these sewers. Great and we've sold nearly four thousand masks.

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: And now you've branched out from mass So tell me

28
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: what that all means.

29
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 2: So what we thought, with the huge success of it,

30
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: we thought we'd develop it further cast our net wider

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: to all Australian craft makers because if you're like a

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: little retail store who now needs to go online, it

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: can be quite daunting. But we've got the expertise and

34
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: we can hold your hand and teach you how to

35
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: do it. So we've pivoted for a nice dancing term

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: you'd both understand.

37
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: You Maybe you should explain it a bit more to me.

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: So this could be anyone that makes raft.

39
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: As Australian owned, Australian shipped, So you can be a

40
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: man who's candle company, or I have brought you Actually

41
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: this is from a hilltop's honey, right So this is

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: a company in Young a young family. You have, you know,

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: stacks of bees and they're making homemade you know, bee products.

44
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: We've got a lady who makes gnomes of all things

45
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: and we've just worked like literally with her to create

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: a Christmas gnome on a gum leaf that'll keep the

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: kids happy and behaving before Christmas.

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: What does the gnome do?

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: So the nome sits there and the kids have to

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: feed it a gum leaf. And if they don't feed

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: it a gum leaf or it's not happy, the gnome

52
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: might talk to Santa before Christmas.

53
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Blackmail is what you're saying is a big dobber.

54
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: It is a dobber. I'll only put the nome up

55
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: on the on the Todd Creates website yesterday and it's

56
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: it's flying off its gum leaf. This has got really

57
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: a great vibe to it. And people want to.

58
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Do the right thing. People want to buy Australian and

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: help people, don't they they do. But if we can't

60
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: get into a shop, how do you do that?

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? And if you don't know how to do it,

62
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: how do you do it? And so Sassinate, we know

63
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: how to do it, and we're loving it like it's

64
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 2: it's so important in our lives right now that I'm.

65
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: Really proud of this because I look at you, a

66
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: man that performs quite regularly. You were doing Shrek the

67
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: Musical when this whole thing happened, and then that stopped.

68
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: Exactly, I lost my business as well. And so this

69
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: is the way of me pivoting, and I can actually,

70
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: are you doing all right with all of this?

71
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: Yes, put on your shelf pants.

72
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: Are you doing all right with all this at the moment?

73
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: I mean, actually, can you pay the bills?

74
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: And oh yeah, no, I can pay the bill. I'm

75
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: just worrying. Part of Todd Creates is it's about creating

76
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: a job for myself as well, honest, and it's still

77
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: in a creative environment. And so it's something that I understand.

78
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: But no, I'm pretty good. Actually I'm up and down.

79
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: I've always created stuff for myself and I love working.

80
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: Working is what I'm all about, and so this is

81
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: another way to do it.

82
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: Having said that, he also spending a bit more time

83
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: at home with the greyhounds.

84
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: Oh yes, they're in my car. Actually they're out of

85
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: the front. I just gave them a big walk. Did

86
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: you crack a window. Yes, I've cracked a window. I

87
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: know how to look after they're in the shade. They've

88
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: got a bowl of water. I'm not had a poo poop.

89
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: You crack a window on here, because I might have to.

90
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 3: It's always a treat to talk to you. I'm so

91
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 3: pleased at you're well. I'm just disappointed I never got

92
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,119
Speaker 3: to see you on your knees in Shrek the Music.

93
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: My gosh, that was one of the funniest things I've

94
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: ever done. I played Lord farqu Wad, Yeah, and I

95
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: was on my knees all night long at fifty five

96
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: years old. But I survived it, and part of me,

97
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: you know, God will strike me down, was a little

98
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: bit happy that we got closed down because back broke.

99
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: My back was so sore. But the crowds loved it.

100
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: People love Shrek, they love that character, and it was

101
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: just a really feel good, fun show. What happens next

102
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: for you? Well, the Monty is back on sevending up again.

103
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: I'm not needing up again, but that's on this Sunday

104
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: on Channel seven, So that'll be great to watch. The

105
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: continued success of that as it always is, and so

106
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 2: have I ever asked you to do it.

107
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: I work for another network. Praise the Lord, be more grateful.

108
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: She can't cross the streets. Would you do it?

109
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: I don't think I would. I don't even go to

110
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: the beach, let alone go nude on television. I don't

111
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: think I could.

112
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: I reckon, you'd be greating it.

113
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: It'd be a crack, wouldn't it.

114
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: Channel ten and give it a crash.

115
