My guest today is one very successful and cool lady. She’s a self-made business icon (the type raised without the silver spoon!) who founded Boost Juice and has gone on to build a number of successful brands (Boost Juice, Salsa's Fresh Mex, CIBO Espresso and Betty's Burgers & CONCRETE CO) and she is a Director of both Retail Zoo and Michael Hill Jeweller. 

She has been a panel member on the TV series Shark Tank for years and had a very successful crack at Australian Survivor.  She’s also the recipient on many awards, including Telstra Businesswoman of The Year and is a mum to 4 kids.

It was a pleasure to chat with Janine Allis about as we explored the ups and downs of business and valuable life lessons learnt on her journey and bringing up kids in a bubble within a bubble.

You can read more of Janine's story, watch videos, order any of her books, listen to her podcast, or book her for a keynote talk at her website www.janineallis.com.au and follow her on Instagram @janine_allis
