   EP 68 | Mastering Wealth Strategy: How Amanda Taylor Is Transforming Female Financial Empowerment

   Amanda Taylor is an accomplished business and wealth strategist, real estate investor, and the founder of Metropolis Enterprises. After 15 years in executive practice management, Amanda transitioned to full-time wealth creation after recognising the transformative power of capital growth and strategic real estate investing. Through her own disciplined investment strategy, she successfully built a multi-million-dollar property portfolio. However, as she moved in high-level investment circles, Amanda noticed a persistent imbalance: women were vastly underrepresented in rooms where significant wealth creation and capital decisions were made. Determined to address this disparity, Amanda uncovered stark systemic realities surrounding female wealth. Research and documentaries such as Show Her the Money revealed that less than two per cent of global venture capital funding goes to female-owned businesses. Furthermore, traditional social conditioning has long encouraged women to play small by focusing almost exclusively on budgeting, saving, and coupon clipping, while men are encouraged to undertake bold financial ventures and build enduring capital. Amanda recognised that general financial education was purposefully designed to maintain dependency, but women faced additional hurdles rooted in deeply embedded guilt, shame, and identity issues surrounding money. This insight expanded Amanda's vision from private enterprise to a global mission. She observed that women frequently delay taking control of their financial destinies until forced by unexpected life crises, such as divorce or the death of a partner. Amanda set out to dismantle this passive complacency, aiming to equip women with the curiosity, confidence, and strategic framework required to take full financial ownership well before crisis hits. To scale her impact internationally and reach women across global markets, Amanda needed to build an authoritative profile that matched her professional standing, gain prominent media exposure, and establish an unshakeable platform for her message. Outcome To build an elite global profile and amplify her core mission, Amanda collaborated with The Audacious Agency to position her work within prestigious international awards programs. Her inspiration to enter the Stevie Awards came from a serendipitous moment the previous year, when she attended the ceremony as part of a book collaboration. After briefly stepping away from her table and missing her category announcement on stage, Amanda vowed to return, not out of ego, but because her mission demanded a global platform. Strategically leveraging awards yielded immediate, substantial commercial results. Amanda was named a finalist across six distinct categories at the international Stevie Awards for Women in Business, including recognition for her podcast, Expand Your Empire. Crucially, Amanda was named the sole finalist in the Mentor or Coach of the Year – Finance category, guaranteeing her an international Gold Stevie Award victory on stage in New York City. The international recognition instantly elevated Amanda’s market authority and brand reach. On the day the finalist positions were announced, Expand Your Empire podcast downloads surged, attracting a rapidly growing international audience. The awards validated her work across global borders, reinforcing her ability to engage women in international markets including Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and Latvia. Beyond podcast metrics, finalist status provided strong credibility, opening doors to high-level speaking engagements, strategic partnerships, and new client acquisitions, as prospective partners recognised the prestige of the Stevie Awards brand. Amanda will travel to New York City to attend the gala awards ceremony, accept her Gold Stevie Award on stage, and share her vision with an international audience of business leaders.

   EP 67 | WOW Conference 2026 Preview: Unlocking Wealth, Mindset, Innovation, & Authority

   In a special panel episode of the That's Audacious podcast, host Lauren Clemett brought together seven industry experts to preview the upcoming WOW (Women Of Wisdom) Conference. Hosted by Kelly Kingston, this transformative two-day event takes place on the Gold Coast on October 24 and 25, 2026. Designed specifically to eliminate post-conference overwhelm, the event provides actionable pathways, ongoing mentorship, and direct access to vetted speakers who have built businesses around their expertise. Here are the key takeaways and practical strategies shared by the speakers appearing at this year's conference: Mark Robinson (Co-founder, Sovereign Ventures) Focus: AI-Driven Wealth and Financial Sovereignty Mark Robinson challenged the traditional belief that annual investment returns above 10% are unrealistic. By using AI tools and structured financial strategies, business owners can generate consistent cash flow and build lasting wealth. Mark highlighted that high turnover does not equal profitability, recalling a multi-million-dollar business that turned over $258 million a quarter yet regularly faced severe cash shortages. Key Insight: High cash flow without a profit strategy leaves businesses vulnerable. Action Step: Embrace artificial intelligence to automate backend operations while using authentic human intelligence to drive core business growth. Billie Robinson (Co-founder, Sovereign Ventures) Focus: Mindset, Energy, and Sustainable Growth Billie Robinson shifted the conversation from pure tactics to internal alignment. She dispelled the myth that purchasing another strategy, system, or qualification will automatically create success if unaddressed fears of visibility and self-doubt persist. Sustainable growth must begin with the person leading the business. Key Insight: Strategy cannot overcome unresolved self-doubt or fear of being seen. Action Step: Before making any business decision, ask yourself whether the choice stems from confidence or fear. Identify what the most confident version of yourself would do next, and take one small action step immediately. Jess Clair (Co-founder and COO, MVP1 Ventures) Focus: Innovation Execution and Problem Solving Jess Clair emphasised that ideas are common, but execution is everything. The biggest myth in innovation is believing that buying a new software tool will instantly fix a business. Real innovation comes from identifying operational friction and solving genuine customer pain points. Key Insight: Focus on customer problems rather than chasing trendy software applications. Action Step: Validate concepts quickly through simple market tests before spending time and capital building products. Success relies on long-term endurance and regulating your nervous system through the inevitable embarrassments of execution. Gagan Gupta (Founder, Turn Left for Less) Focus: Travel Optimisation and Expense Management Gagan Gupta dispelled the common misconception that earning travel points is complex or requires constant flying. Business owners can convert routine operational expenses into premium travel rewards, allowing them to travel in business or first class without paying full price. Key Insight: You do not need to fly constantly to accumulate millions of travel points. Action Step: Audit your monthly working capital spend and calculate missed point opportunities. Reroute existing business expenses through optimised card setups and specialised reward platforms. Jacine Greenwood (Founder, Roccoco Botanicals) Focus: Copywriting Psychology and Buyer Beliefs With over 25 years of business experience, Jacine Greenwood refuted claims that digital ads no longer work, citing exceptional returns on ad spend achieved by tapping into buyer psychology. Consumers make emotional decisions and justify them with logic, meaning marketing offers must remove confusion and address underlying hesitations directly. Key Insight: A confused mind never buys; offers must clarify value and

   EP 66 | Sarah Thomson: From Corporate Burnout to Strategic Adaptation

   In a recent episode of the That's Audacious podcast, host Lauren Clemett interviewed digital marketing coach and trainer Sarah Thomson, founder of Online Social Butterfly, to unpack what it takes to build a resilient business and an authentic personal profile. Sarah Thomson spent years working in high-pressure corporate marketing and communications roles before making a sudden exit. Balancing demanding corporate hours - often working past 11:00 PM while managing two young children - eventually reached a breaking point. Realising the toll it was taking on her family and health, Sarah resigned without a backup plan, determined to establish herself as a marketing consultant. Upon stepping into entrepreneurship in Perth, Sarah quickly recognised that standard corporate consulting opportunities were far more limited in a smaller local market compared to major hubs like London or Sydney. Rather than giving up, she adapted. Landing her first social media management client fifteen years ago marked the beginning of a major shift. She pivoted from dry LinkedIn training to the rapidly growing landscape of Facebook marketing, turning a lucky break into a sustained career. Through her business, Online Social Butterfly, Sarah now coaches female entrepreneurs to scale their operations using digital products, masterminds, and online courses. Her mission stems from a widespread issue in the small business sector: entrepreneurs trading hours for dollars, getting trapped by technical overwhelm, and relying single-mindedly on one service or marketing channel. Building Resilience, Mastering AI, and Harnessing Award Leverage Early in her entrepreneurial journey, Sarah received crucial financial advice from her accountant: single-platform dependency leaves a business vulnerable. After watching peers lose their entire livelihoods overnight because of social media algorithm changes and policy shifts, she deliberately diversified her revenue streams into coaching, corporate workshops, and digital training. Sarah’s approach to modern digital strategy balances technological adoption with authentic human connection: Demystifying Technical Barriers: While free resources and AI tools abound, small business owners often stall due to mindset blocks and fear of technology. Sarah’s coaching model focuses on guiding clients past small technical hurdles to build true confidence. Embracing Modern AI Tools: Rather than fearing technological disruption, Sarah launched AI training workshops immediately after ChatGPT’s emergence. She uses AI platforms like Claude to manage complex back-end advertising tasks - such as conversion tracking - while advising clients to keep creative content, images, and brand voice strictly human and personal. Integrating Paid Advertising: Recognising that organic social media reach is no longer sufficient on its own, Sarah advocates for combining organic posts with targeted Meta ads to ensure predictable audience growth. Exploring Independent Platforms: To reduce reliance on mainstream social networks, Sarah established a strong presence on Substack, leveraging long-form writing to build direct, monetisable relationships with readers outside algorithm-driven feeds. Maximising Profile Building Through Awards: Sarah highlights the strategic value of entering business awards, emphasising that the process itself serves as a powerful marketing engine. Rather than keeping submissions secret for fear of losing, Sarah argues that sharing the entry journey builds strong audience support and market credibility, regardless of the final outcome.
