The sh*t-hot million dollar business and product

Grab a glass of water, because we've got a fiery guest for this episode of The Make It Happen Show! Get ready to hear about how to build a cult brand following from the brilliant, the bold, and the brains behind Bunsters Worldwide Hot Sauces, Renae Bunster. (How bold? Her most popular hot sauce flavour is called "Sh*t The Bed"!) Bunsters is a fun, multi-million dollar brand that's sold in over 600 stores in Australia, and Renae's sauces have gained cult-status at home and overseas.

Listen to pick up some hot business tips from Renae, like why you shouldn't hedge your bets on going "viral" (unlike Renae), why you need to proceed with caution and do plenty of research before expanding into international markets (unlike Renae), and why you shouldn't use profanities in your business' name... Are you picking up on the theme here?

This episode, like Renae's sauce, packs a serious punch, and will go down as one of our favourite episodes of The Make It Happen Show to date. Why? Listen along to find out now.

Entourage on point again!

Adz Rodger

Great content again from The Entourage! Particularly like the 1st episode and the points Tim Fung made about making sure you make time to map out the future and don't get stuck on day to day 'work', as well as the observation that you really need to be strategic about your people management and not just try to save money. Two awesome take homes I have already taken action on!

For entrepreneurs and non-trepeneurs alike

Well this was one of the best things I’ve heard in a while. I’m by no means the target demographic, having zero business or entrepreneurial experience at all. Luckily the advice given for business growth and success is remarkably applicable to personal growth and success. Loved the conversational style, by the end of the podcast I felt like I knew both Tims personally, which is a great mark of engagement. And I loved hearing about the humble beginnings of Airtasker from the founder himself. Give this a listen if you’re craving a bit of personal or professional inspiration.
