BOW aims to spark similar moments of boldness through their innovative and versatile products – including the Quivver all in one bag and the Ancor shirt. Mandy’s youth and spontaneous attitude have definitely been key to driving the business forward. In this episode, her energy and drive will be sure to compel you to find out what BOW for Bold offers.

It’s with much excitement I can introduce my next guests Asia because they’ve been on their own startup journey – Steven Tracy and Gerald And from Milieu. Since we last met in the studio, over 12 months ago, Milieu has grown from 12 to 39 people and successfully raised a series A round. Their journey continues to evolve as they are launching new market research products to help both government agencies and brands understand the underlying sentiments of consumers during the Covid19 period.
