The Mentor with Mark Bouris

This week I'm joined by Pip Edwards, co-founder of activewear brand P.E Nation. After 17 years working in fashion, Pip took the plunge to start her own business in 2016, which is now stocked in over 200 retailers worldwide and has been worn by many famous faces, including the Kardashians. We talk all about clothes and fashion, as well as the emotional challenges of running a business. Pip has so much energy and has really big goals - including competing with the big players Nike and Adidas - so make sure you tune in. Join the Facebook Group.Follow Mark Bouris on Instagram, LinkedIn & YouTube.Want to grow your business and stay ahead of the pack?

I'm joined by Andrew Blachut from PropertyNow, a real estate company helping people sell their property privately, charging no commission to real estate agents. Their business is complicated by the big players that control the market - Real Estate and Domain - but they've grown to more than 2000 current active listings. We talk about how Andrew should get the word out in the market, who is competition is, and how the entire process works with selling property privately. It's an interesting conversation about a growing market so make sure you tune in.

This week I am joined by chef Pete Evans to talk about his new business venture, Healthy Everyday Pets. It's a pet food company aiming to be the healthiest animal food in the country. We talk about the business - but also a huge range of other topics, including wellness, authenticity and motivation. Pete is a fascinating and sometimes polarising guy - so it was interesting to hear from the man himself about what makes him tick. Join the Facebook Group.Follow Mark Bouris on Instagram, LinkedIn & YouTube.Want to grow your business and stay ahead of the pack?

This week I'm joined by Sally and Jo Godfrey, who are the founders of grain-free bread business called No Grainer. They started the business because of necessity - being diabetic and coeliac - but they have since realised the market for grain-free products is skyrocketing. When I first met them on The Mentor TV show, they were close to shutting down - their fridge was broken, they had no business systems and weren't making any money. We catch up about how they're going since being on the show and whether they're still putting into practice all the things we worked on. They're two hilarious women with a great story - so make sure you tune in.

This week we're joined by Joey Scandizzo, just after he's announced as the Australian Hairdresser of the Year for an incredible fourth time. We talk about how he got into the game and why he keeps entering awards, how to build a team culture where nobody wants to leave, and how his products range, Eleven Australia, came to be so successful. Join the Facebook Group.Follow Mark Bouris on Instagram, LinkedIn & YouTube.Want to grow your business and stay ahead of the pack?

This week I'm joined by Jaye Edwards, founder of hair salon group Edwards and Co. He's only 28 but has 6 salons around Australia, built on innovation by hiring a mix of employees and contractors - and maximising the earning potential for both of them. He's a gun at social media, using influencers, recruiting and training, and has a really sharp business mind. We talk about everything that's happened from his humble beginnings as an apprentice and I ask why he's so bent on improving himself.Join the Facebook Group.Follow Mark Bouris on Instagram, LinkedIn & YouTube.Want to grow your business and stay ahead of the pack?

This week I'm joined by Kim from Cronulla Florist - who was featured on the second episode of The Mentor TV show. Kim came to us exhausted from working all the time and not having any energy left for her son and family. After taking on board our advice, she's now employing staff, her business has never been more profitable, and she's found a much better work-life balance. We talk about turning things around, asking for help, using social media and the art of up-selling. Join the Facebook Group.Follow Mark Bouris on Instagram, LinkedIn & YouTube.Want to grow your business and stay ahead of the pack?

This week, I’m joined by Johnny Di Francesco, chef and owner of Gradi Group, a hospitality group with restaurant ‘400 Gradi' in Melbourne and soon to be worldwide. Johnny was the first Australian crowned the world’s best pizza maker in 2014 and knows how to get a restaurant right. Johnny was on The Mentor TV show as an expert helping out a struggling pizzeria, so we talk about how to create a good working environment, how to run a family business and why passion used in the right way is so important in business. Join the Facebook Group.Follow Mark Bouris on Instagram, LinkedIn & YouTube.Want to grow your business and stay ahead of the pack?

This week I'm joined by Stephanie Wimpenny to talk about her experience being on my TV show, The Mentor. Stephanie and her family were in the first episode, formerly known as Ubiquitous Realty - and they had some big problems! But since being on the show they've taken all my advice on board and their business is starting to work. We talk about being in a family business, what's important in real estate, and how Stephanie is working towards her goal of being a successful agent.  Join the Facebook Group.Follow Mark Bouris on Instagram, LinkedIn & YouTube.Want to grow your business and stay ahead of the pack?

This week I'm joined by Bianca Bowron-Cuthill, who is the Head of Customer Success at Intuit QuickBooks. That means she knows a lot about helping business owners get their accounting right, take back their time away from paper invoicing and to really get on top of their numbers. Bianca and her team have been a big help to the businesses on The Mentor TV show too, which shows how so many people aren't getting this right. We have a great conversation about motivating teams and figuring out what matters to customers.
