This episode was brought to you by: Instant About your guests: Liam Millward is a born entrepreneur. Having launched his first venture at just 13 while travelling around with his family in a caravan, Liam later developed Navigate Australia, a travel magazine that quickly gained traction, reaching over 50,000+ people monthly, within 12 months of launching. Now, Liam is the Co-Founder and CEO of Instant, an Australian tech company helping big  brands drive revenue and retention on autopilot. He raised over $7.5m in venture capital when he was just 17, in Australia’s biggest pre-seed funding round to date, led by Blackbird. Instant rapidly grew to over $1.5 million in annual revenue and 1 million shoppers just one year after launching. With two products now in the market across Australia and the US, Liam is  on a mission to scale globally. Sean Meyer grew up by the beach in Coogee, Western Australia, where his active, outdoor lifestyle shaped his passion for fitness. After studying construction management at university, Sean realised his true calling lay elsewhere. Following a few years in operations management and a high-profile modelling career in London, Sean returned to Australia to start his own business. In 2019, Sean and his partner launched Leelo Active from a spare bedroom in his parents’ house. Within the first year, Leelo made $170,000 and quickly gained a reputation for premium activewear. By 2023, Leelo had expanded into over 25 StyleRunner stores, and is now on track to reach $10 million in revenue.
