Tribe Social Fitness which is headed up by Mark Capelin & Adam Dykes is not just a gym, its a Sutherland Shire fitness institution focused on helping clients loose weight, eat well and get fit. Dykesy & Mark have unwavering core values and beliefs which filter to their team and through to their members & our community.
Both Mark & Adam are focused on being the best version of themselves which in hand delivers a strong culture retaining longevity in members, staff and a welcoming space. The boys gave me fantastic insight into their story, journey, lessons learned and also what keeps them on top of the game 13 years after opening.
Tribe is expanding into a new 1000sqm+ facility in Kirrawee and with the same systems and beliefs the new space will deliver a fresh experience to the whole Sutherland Shire. -

Flour has quickly become the most popular cafe in The Shire! A unique concept of providing a more visual experience of the workings of a dough room and an A La Carte menu style offering combined with trendy and colourful interiors and a vibrant setting, Flour has raised the benchmark.
Jimmy & Abbey started their cafe journey at Grind Cronulla where they began working out of school. They eventually became business partners in Grind Cronulla for a few years then went their separate ways Jimmy back to Port Hacking High School teaching Drama & Abbey a stint in the Property game.
A great local success story and I am so keen to see what the future holds for Abbey & James! -
Theres no denying that the Sammut Group have one of the best reputations in The Sutherland Shire when it comes to luxury development. Although Sammut Group these days are well known for projects such as Breeze, Vue, Coast, Parc & so on, I wanted to get into the early days of the business, their journey, what inspires Allen & Julian to stay ahead of the curve and continually setting the benchmark higher and higher.
From building bespoke houses in Menai, to now taking on one of Cronullas largest developments and breaking records in the Gold Coast, their journey is nothing short of inspiring. -
A bloody good PT and an even better bloke. Passionate about his industry and helping people better their lives Reece Mariner has recently taken the plunge into business ownership and started his own gym Refit Training in Caringbah. Reece is very well known and respected locally in his industry and there is no doubt that this gym will be a hit. Reece talks us through his journey from being a shipwright out of school to a PT at Rhino Taren Point for almost 8 years.
A huge space with wellness centre, weights room, open plan class section and sexy bathrooms, ReFit will be a vibe! -
Daniel Tonkin is one of the most natural sales and business people I have ever met. From our first interaction at an open house I wanted to get to know Danny and his journey, he has this warm approachable energy and carries a wealth of knowledge in business and life. Danny has started and ran multiple successful companies from Think Renewable, WOW Recruitment, KWIC, Nu Agency Group and the list goes on!
Dannys journey through business is so inspiring and relatable, his passion for people, curiosity and morals are truly inspirational and having him a phone call away has been an absolute godsend.
I highly recommend getting a copy of Dannys book "Sh*t Happens Then Rainbows", easy ready and very engaging! -

Chris attitude towards constantly reinvesting into his brand and people has put him ahead of the competition and with a new state of the art showroom to show why he is the best at what he does. Chris goes into life growing up in Mount Druitt, overcoming adversity and how one day at a time he re-built the CVD brand after a marriage breakdown and a move to the Shire.

When I think of insurance brokers in the Sutherland Shire I think of Dean & DLB Insurance. Dean has an unreal social strategy, delivers great content that provides much needed info and is a proactive insurance broker and advisor for his clients and for our area.
Loved getting into Deans story from how he evolved from selling insurance at a big firm to taking the plunge and opening his own office and growing that team to where they are today. I feel there was heaps that we could have gone into so keen to get Dean back on for round 2! -
