New podcast all about best in business

THREE Ballarat based communicators have come together to create new podcast series celebrating the region’s commercial champions.

Titled Ballarat Business, the show’s hosted by podcaster Chris Ashmore, Nicole Ashby from High-Profit Media, and Hardy Audio owner Lauren Goodrham.

“We wanted to make a podcast highlighting the success of local business owners, some well-known and some not so well known and unpack some of their stories,” Mr Ashmore said.

“By doing so, other businesses owners will gain great insight and tips into how to build a better business.

“There are many podcasts are out there relating to business, but not many that get down to the nitty-gritty at a localised level and for us, the local Ballarat level is really important.”

The series went into production before COVID-19 hit, but like everything else, the team had to readjust their focus.

Season one guests include Inglenook Dairy’s Troy Peterken and Emma Conroy from Emma’s Homemade Cakes. Both businesses were heavily impacted by the pandemic.

“We’ve managed to capture the impact that COVID-19 has had on some local businesses and how they’ve managed to save their businesses,” Ms Ashby said.

You can find Ballarat Business from the streaming channels.
