  • One question that affects business at all levels is: 'How to make customers happy?' Ben Ho has created a business called yesloyal with the main focus of customer satisfaction. A former employee of HP and Ingram Micro in the Market and Business Development sectors, and with a Master of Business Administration from the Australian Institute of Business, he is incredibly qualified to answer why customer satisfaction is so important in helping small business grow. 

    Starting yesloyal in December 2017 with his brother, Hogan, he has created loyalty programs for numerous businesses to create happy customers and improve sales. A proponent of small business, he is an active member of SWEH (South West Entrepreneurial Hub), which aims to support and represent business owners in the South West. He sat down with Dai Le to discuss customer satisfaction, why the dictionary is his favourite book, and his enthusiasm in sharing his knowledge with others.

  • "I just made sure that if I was passionate, if I believed in it, and if I could see the benefit, I just went ahead and did it."

    What makes a successful entrepreneur? 2019 Fairfield City Women's Day Award winner, Le Ho, followed this mantra when starting her many successful businesses. From running  bridal shoe stores to taking Capital City Waste Services from the brink of bankruptcy to a $10 million turnover, she was also a 2017 Finalist of the NSW Business Woman of the Year Award. When asked about business advice, she reiterates time and time again to never give up and to rediscover that entrepreneurial spirit that originally captivated you. Happily retired, she continues to spend time educating people on what makes a successful entrepreneur, and the many business tips for success. She sat down with Dai Le to discuss what can and can't be recycled, a multitude of recycling facts, and her successful entrepreneur story.

  • "Why are we so disconnected from food now and why don't we care?"

    This is the question Thanh Truong, a self-described 'Fruit Nerd', is attempting to answer through his passion for cooking. He is exceptionally passionate about fruits and vegetables, and the benefits these contribute to a healthy diet. After all, good food starts with good produce. Thanh is eager to educate Australians on where their food comes from and the behind-the-scenes knowledge of the subtle differences on every piece of produce. Thanh and his friend, Duncan, were Runners-up on the  Channel 7 cooking game show Plate of Origin. Representing Vietnam, he successfully brought Vietnamese cuisine to the spotlight and shined the light on the dishes he grew up with. Moving on from Plate of Origin, he is now pursuing a Masters in Food Systems & Gastronomy to further educate himself on the incredible benefits and possibilities of blending fruits and vegetables. He sat down for a chat with DAWNCast founder, Dai Le, to discuss Plate of Origin, the hidden truth of fruit and vegetables, and his plans for the future.

  • A strong advocate for humanity and belonging, Bart Bailey, consultant and facilitator in the diversity, inclusion and equity space, was recently personally challenged with the loss of his 80-year-old dad from COVID-19. According to Bart while African-Americans made up 32 per cent of the population, they made up more than double the numbers of deaths, at 70%. With the death of George Floyd, Bart believed the issue of equity and disparity has emerged more so during this COVID-19 period than any other time.

    He joins Founder Dai Le from Pennsylvania to share his insights on the impact of COVID-19 on him and his family, and on the American people.
