Wow… my mind is BLOWN! 4 years later and 200th episode of the Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! weekly entrepreneurship podcast!
This week tech entrepreneur and RateBeer craft beer app owner Joe Tucker joins us on the show as they introduce their app into the Australian market with exclusive launch parties in Sydney and Melbourne.
RateBeer is a world site for craft beer enthusiasts dedicated to serving the entire craft beer community through beer education, promotion and outreach. ZX Ventures, AB InBev’s global growth and innovation division, invested in RateBeer two years ago, for $2M dollars in technology and the hiring of an Australian team to help drive the evolution of the global product.
Essentially, Australians will be able to buy “rare and highly-rated” beers through retail partners via the website, with additional enhancements including the introduction of push notifications and a clearer rate and review system.
Australia is RateBeer’s fourth biggest market globally, which makes it the perfect testing ground for the new developments. The company already has over 10,000 Australian beers logged from hundreds of breweries and we catch up with Joe Tucker at Odd Culture bar at the Taphouse Darlo as he launches the new RateBeer craft beer app into the Australian market. Exciting!
Let’s get into the show!

Podcast: “Social Media for Business – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” at Spark Festival.

“Social media for business – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”
Spark Festival represent!
In the midst of a digital media age where privacy breaches, social manipulation and world domination are a real concern – myself and 3 senior industry experts unveil the truths at Spark Festival in Sydney about social media and answer the million-dollar question for you – “Should I bother using Social Media for my start-up/business/personal brand?”
If you are an entrepreneur, founder, business owner or just curious about what our digital future has in store, then this is the podcast episode for you. Discover the different ways that you can (and cannot) use Social Media to scale your business, attract investors and become a recognisable brand.
- The Good – The access to affordable advertising options and the opportunity of building and engaging a community of customers.
- The Bad – The myth of organic traffic, vanity metrics, measuring ROI and reputation management.
- The Ugly – User trust issues, fake accounts, fake news, bot takeover.
Join myself Benjamin Kassel ([Haimat] agency), Christo Hall (Basic Bananas) and Daniele Tanner (Social Media College) at Australia’s largest event for startups, innovators and entrepreneurs, as we deep dive into ‘Social Media for Business – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly’.
Thanks so much to Spark Festival, Laneway College and Thais Oso for inviting us along to be part of such a wonderful event.

Young Henrys and Afends launch new HEMP IPA beer.

Last night Young Henrys and Afends tapped the 1st keg of their ground-breaking, brand new HEMP IPA at Young Henrys brewery HQ in Newtown.
A year and a half in the making (who knew hemp laws Down Under would be so strict! 😁) , this delicious little number is now one of my favourite new beers. Any concerns that I had of the hemp overpowering this India Pale Ale were immediately washed away as the golden nectar flowed down my throat. The Young Henrys x Afends HEMP IPA is big, bold and beautifully balanced with just enough hop and a delicious blend of citrus, tropical and stone fruits. We’ve got a new daddy now! 🍻🍁✨
I was also chatting with Young Henrys founders Oscar McMahon and Richard Adamson last night about how happy it made me to be back amongst the Young Henrys crew. It’s been while! If you’ve ever wanted to learn about building a culture for your business, then YH is a wonderful example. I’m definitely keen to record a podcast with Oscar about it sometime, as last night’s event just felt like family!
So if you’re after a new brew then look no further. Wrap your lips around this!

Entrepreneurship Podcast #190: Boeing Strategist & Victoria Cross recipient Mark Donaldson.

DOWNLOAD the PODCAST via iTunes – #190: Boeing Strategist & Victoria Cross recipient Mark Donaldson.
Victoria Cross recipient, Boeing strategist and business leader, Mark Donaldson and I got chatting at the Beard Season launch with Jimmy Niggles, Hamish Blake, Wippa and a bunch of other revellers a few months back and bonded over a cheeky beer or two on a tall ship on Sydney Harbour (hence the nautical theme of the pics below).
For those who have listened to my Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! episode with Andrew Hansen from The Chaser, will know my passion for my grandfather, whom I never knew, his service in the Middle East and PNG in Kokoda in World War II, the importance of ANZAC Day to me and understanding (in my eyes) what it actually means to be Australian after my trip to Gallipoli for the 85th anniversary of the ANZAC Day dawn service in Turkey in 2000.
Corporal Mark Donaldson, VC is an Australian soldier and a recipient of the Victoria Cross for Australia, the highest award in the Australian honours system.
Trooper Donaldson (his rank at the time) was a member of the Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) when he exposed himself to enemy fire to protect injured troops and then rescued an interpreter under heavy enemy fire in the Battle of Khaz Oruzgan during Operation Slipper, the Australian contribution to the War in Afghanistan. He was presented with the decoration by the Governor-General of Australia, Quentin Bryce, in a ceremony in Canberra on 16 January 2009.
On today’s show we delve into vast-ranging chats including Mark’s earliest ever memory, his work with Boeing, happy memories of Afghanistan, the people and experiences that have shaped his outlook on life.
Super inspiring chats. Let’s get into it!

Anthony Bourdain. Brash, Open & Honest – Love.

Fare thee well, Anthony.
‘Medium Raw’ & ‘Kitchen Confidential’ are books that I read a number of years ago; your story and the way that you told it (along with the many biographies/autobiographies of my favourite inspirations) have been part of the rich tapestry that have inspired me to continue to trailblaze life in my own way, to embrace the inner weirdo that I was always so afraid of growing up and the light-globe of realization that I’m not alone. Brash, open & honest. It’s like looking in the mirror. Although you’re clearly a lot more deadly handsome in black & white 😁😜
You are you and I’m sorry that you felt that this was the only way. Scrolling my Social Media Newsfeeds today, it is clear to me that you have made such a positive impact on friends in my inner circle & beyond who also inspire me. Rest well, big fella. You’ve earned it ❤✨
#AnthonyBourdain #love
