Each year more than four hundred thousand businesses are started in Australia but sadly, 20% of new businesses will fail in the first year and 60% within three years. Thankfully, a successful business expert who is the founder of Live Good Digital, a digital marketing agency is looking to help more people succeed.
Emily Jean who knows the pitfalls of starting a new business wants to help more people succeed and wants to help younger people to become a success in business.
The founder of Live Good Digital has started a new podcast called The Founder’s Club which aims to help people to become a success. Before I interviewed Emily Jean, she told me on the phone that she was passionate about helping entrepreneurs and business leaders build meaningful, successful businesses that allow them to live good lives. When I sat down with her, it was obvious how passionate she was.
The Founder’s Club podcast which can be listened to on all major problems is set to be a huge success. This is what Emily had to say when I sat down with her.
You have a podcast called the Founder's Club, can you tell me what the podcast is about?
The Founder's Club is all about sharing real, engaging stories from entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey. We discuss not just their successes, but also their struggles and the valuable lessons learned along the way. It’s an authentic, transparent look at entrepreneurship.
Who is your podcast aimed at and what age group do you expect to attract?
Our podcast primarily attracts young adults and aspiring entrepreneurs, generally aged between 18 to 35, who are curious about entrepreneurship or already running their own businesses.
You say that your podcast is going to be full of founders and entrepreneurs, can you give me some examples?
Absolutely! We feature diverse entrepreneurs, from small family-run businesses to founders of multimillion-dollar companies. We've had guests from industries like beauty and skincare, fashion, AI, health tech, and even home decor. Each guest brings a unique perspective to the table.
The COVID pandemic affected businesses around the world. It resulted in millions of businesses collapsing, but it also resulted in a lot of people starting their own business. Why do you think the COVID pandemic encouraged more people to start their own business?
COVID created an environment of necessity and opportunity. People found themselves reflecting deeply on their life and career paths. Many realized they wanted more flexibility, meaning, and control over their professional lives, leading to a boom in entrepreneurship.
Will you podcast talk about motivation to start a business and do you believe that people who listen to your podcast will be motivated to start their business?
Yes, motivation is central to our podcast. By sharing authentic, inspiring stories from successful founders, listeners are not only motivated but also equipped with actionable advice to confidently start or grow their own ventures.
What do you believe is the biggest stumbling point in a person starting a business?
I believe the biggest stumbling block is often the fear of failure or uncertainty about how to start. Many potential entrepreneurs are held back because they worry about making mistakes or fear financial instability. Our goal is to ease those fears by sharing relatable experiences and practical advice.
One of the biggest challenges a person has when thinking about starting their own business is funding. Banks have become very strict on who they will and will not lend money to. So, if banks are no longer an option for funding, what other funding sources are available?
Entrepreneurs can explore alternatives like crowdfunding, angel investors, venture capital, grants, peer-to-peer lending, and even bootstrapping—using personal savings or resources from friends and family. There are many creative ways to finance a business today.
You are having an exclusive launch party, can you tell me more about that?
We're thrilled to mark the launch of The Founder's Club with an exclusive event that will feature networking opportunities, engaging conversations with inspiring guests, and meaningful connections between listeners and entrepreneurs. It's truly a celebration of entrepreneurship and community, hosted at Scape Redfern in Sydney. Scape aligns perfectly with our vision of nurturing future leaders, thanks to their consistent commitment to cultivating talent and innovation. We couldn't imagine a better venue to celebrate our launch!
There are many podcasts out there; what makes your podcast stand out? The authenticity and diversity of our guests truly make The Founder's Club unique. We're committed to providing transparent, inspiring conversations—not sales pitches. Our guests include founders from well-loved brands who share real, relatable stories and actionable insights.
You say you are going to cover inspiring stories that resonate with anyone looking to innovate and succeed, but are you also going to be talking about the pitfalls and mistakes that people have made starting their own business?
Will you discuss the pitfalls and mistakes entrepreneurs have faced? Absolutely. Discussing pitfalls and mistakes is crucial, as they provide powerful lessons and reassurance that challenges are normal and part of the entrepreneurial journey.
You aim to help young people become entrepreneurs. How old were you when you became interested in business, and when did you start your first business?
I developed a passion for entrepreneurship quite young, about 14 when I graduated from high-school early to pursue a different path. However, I only formally stepped into the entrepreneurial world when I launched Live Good Digital last year. It was driven by a desire to help others achieve a healthier work-life balance and find fulfilment through their businesses.
Do you think schools should do more to encourage young people to become entrepreneurs? Definitely. Entrepreneurship education in schools would empower young people with critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Schools could better equip students with practical tools and confidence to innovate and succeed in the real world.
How often will the podcast be broadcast, and where can people listen? New episodes are released weekly, every Monday. You can find The Founder's Club on all major podcast platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. We're so excited for listeners to tune in!
