In this episode of the Committed Creative Podcast, I interview Ashley Matkovic, the founder of one of Perth's biggest business networking groups, Fusion Biz Co.
Ash shares her journey over the past seven years - from quitting the corporate job she hated to navigating an events business during covid.
Possibly my favourite moment from the podcast was when I asked Ash if she'd ever envisioned Fusion growing as big as it's become, only for her to answer with a resounding 'yes'.
I friggin' loved that confidence and self-belief that Ash knew she was going to create an epic community for women before she'd even done it - I believe it's this mindset that has got her so far.
In the podcast, Ash talks about:
🌸 How she started Fusion to create a space where women can have authentic conversations and connect on a deeper level.
🌸 The challenges of running a business, including feeling lonely and not having a support network, which is why Fusion is so important.
🌸 Her journey as an introvert running networking events, and how she has learned to step into her role as a leader and create a welcoming environment for others.
🌸 Why celebrating wins is important in business, as it helps to acknowledge and appreciate your achievements.
🌸 How the biggest challenge for many businesses is getting in front of more people and marketing their business effectively.
🌸 Why mindset is a major challenge for business owners, and how having a supportive community can help to shift perspectives and overcome mindset roadblocks.
