Julia Spicer OAM and Philip Bateman | What's the impact you want to have in the world?

Q. What is the problem you want to solve, what's the impact you want to have in the world, and how does entrepreneurial thinking help you?

Join Julia Spicer OAM and I as we discuss the challenge and opportunities of our time, and the similarities and shared understandings of community, whether you are in America, Canada, Uganda or Zambia.

Julie takes us into;

- her passion for alternative investment opportunities for female led startups and First Nations people
- how the KPI's of Government align with that of Entrepreneurs
- the research showing rural business requires 2 years and $150,000 to get to the same starting point as city-based startups
- her recent visit to an island in the Torres Strait and their micro business innovations focused on the survivability of their next seven generations

I know many amazing people working to bolster the engagement and funding support for female entrepreneurship, in the past month alone I've seen Irene Tsang (LIFTwomen® Group), Tracey Warren (F5 Collective) Vicki Stirling (The Startup Network), Sangeeta Mulchandani, Nicole Stewart (The Deeply Satisfied Woman) and Vicki Saunders (SheEO™ ) leading from the front!

Julia is active in many roles, including Network Lead at The Connection Table, as the Queensland Chief Entrepreneur, Chairperson of the Global Entrepreneurship Network Australia, Member of the Innovation Advisory Council with the Department of Tourism, Innovation and Sport and Director of Engage and Create Consulting.

This was filmed at the Global Entrepreneurship Network #GEC2023 in Melbourne, and thanks again to Jessica Grattan and Kate Elks Zadel for their support so that I could bring you this conversation!
