This week in Episode 3 of Pivot, we chat to Marc Kinvg, Co-Owner of @Blackboard.Varsity. In an honest and open conversation, Marc shares about the not-so-fun parts of COVID, mental health in the hospitality industry, as well as the importance of business community.

Co-founder and Brand Director of Balter Brewers, Stirling Howland jumps on the podcast to chat about how he and the company had to pivot during COVID-19. Strong company values, and some quick thinking from the leadership team enabled Balter to retain staff, develop new products and keep their community engaged. Some things we chatted about were - How a strong culture informs a strong brand -Price Sensitivity in a post COVID-19 culture -A sense of humour during Crisis -Corporate Social responsibility -What makes a great brand

27.5 million dollars worth of property went into dispute overnight when COVID hit. Rather than taking this pandemic as as an opportunity to relax (or panic), Matt went into overdrive, trained his staff, learnt new skills, and reconnected with his business coach….(it’s hardly a surprise that Matt is regarded as one of Australia's leading Real Estate agents.) In this episode, Matt shares the behind the scenes stories of how he achieved record sales during COVID-19. A phenomenal interview with a world class operator that will leave you feeling inspired (and maybe a little bit guilty of laziness) For the FULL interview with Matt (more behind the scenes stories) email hello@polystudios.com.au
