In this powerhouse episode of Babes Talking Business, we sit down with Mike Kellett — Founder & CEO of Macro Mike, one of Australia’s fastest-growing, multi-award-winning health food companies. What began in 2016 as protein brownies hand-mixed in his one-bedroom apartment has exploded into a 100+ SKU empire, stocked across 5,000+ retailers, including Coles, major supplement stores, and independent health food chains nationwide. With a thriving online community of 500,000+ customers and 35,000+ five-star reviews, Macro Mike has become a household name in plant-based wellness.But behind every “overnight success” is nearly a decade of grit, hustle, heartbreak, reinvention — and a whole lot of crazy. And this episode reveals all of it.
What We Dive Into:
✓ Mike shares how his childhood entrepreneurial spirit shaped his resilience and sales genius.
✓ Moving countries, couch-surfing with strangers, and the moment he almost gave up — before discovering the job that would change his life.
✓ Building a brand from scratch: How a gluten + dairy intolerance led him to develop a peanut-protein formula no one else in the industry had considered.
✓ From kitchen bench to 2,000 sqm warehouse: The truth behind scaling Macro Mike to: 50+ staff, 15,000kg weekly production, a full in-house manufacturing facility, thousands of daily orders & nationwide distribution
✓ Finances, growth and the hard lessons: The mistakes that cost him $60K overnight, the year his profits went backwards, and the financial literacy every business owner MUST master.
✓ High-performance leadership & self-belief: Where his unstoppable drive comes from — and the trauma, legacy and family influence that shaped him.
✓ Iconic brand partnerships: How Macro Mike secured game-changing collaborations including Golden Gaytime, Kellogg’s (Coco Pops, Fruit Loops & Nutri-Grain)… and the five-year strategy behind landing these global brand deals.
✓ Mental health, burnout & identity
✓ Legacy, leadership & the long game: Why he’s never quit (even when he wanted to), how fatherhood changed the way he leads, and the routines that hold him through the chaos.
Why You’ll Love This Episode.
This conversation is REAL, raw, emotional and wildly inspiring. It’s the episode every founder, creator, entrepreneur, and high-achieving woman needs to hear — especially if you’re in a season of rebuilding, reimagining, or questioning your own path.
Mike is proof that:
✨ resilience is a skill
✨ self-belief can be learned
✨ “hard seasons” are often the gateway to iconic success
✨ and passion fuels the long game when money, motivation, and momentum disappearThis is easily one of our most powerful founder episodes yet.

In this unfiltered, heart-led season finale of the Babes Talking Business podcast, your hosts Chani Thompson and Lauren Kerr get raw, real, and a little bit rogue. From answering anonymous Q&As submitted by our community to navigating emotional triggers, relationship challenges, and the highs and lows of motherhood and business — nothing is off limits in this episode.
Lauren shares her decision to step back for maternity leave and what it looks like to transition from maiden to mother. Chani opens up about the unseen layers of postpartum, protecting her family's privacy, and how couples coaching helped rebuild her relationship. We dive into teen rebellion stories, what we’d tell our younger selves, and the lessons we’ve learned through personal growth and feminine leadership.
We also get passionate (and a little spicy) unpacking a trigger around the judgment of network marketing (MLM) — especially as women with purpose-led businesses, financial literacy goals, and a deep mission to empower others with freedom and choice. If you’ve ever felt hesitant about sharing your biz or worried what others think… this is your permission slip to be bold
🎙️ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐥𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧:
✅ Real AF relationship talk: what happens after baby and how to reignite the spark
✅ Our teenage years: rebellion, sneaky stories, and how we found our drive
✅ The truth about MLMs: dismantling the stigma and reclaiming the narrative
✅ The energetic shift between serving vs selling (and how to show up with confidence)
✅ How we process emotional triggers and protect our peace
✅ What we’d tell our younger selves, and our advice if you’re ready to quit your job for your dream
🤰🏼 Whether you're here for laughs, leadership, motherhood, or massive expansion — thank you for being part of this wild ride. We’ll be back after Lauren's baby bubble with even more truth bombs and transformation.

This weeks episode is a powerful one - and something a little different - after 9 years of working together - Chani and Lauren were asked to share the stage at their company commerce and have a REAL BUSINESS conversation sharing exactly how they have been able to create the businesses, impact, freedom and wealth they have.
So we decided we would also share this with you - as it was a conversation like this that totally changed the trajectory of our lives and careers. In this episode, we dive deep into what it truly means to be a Self-Led Woman—a movement that is redefining success for ambitious, purpose-driven women who refuse to settle. If you've ever felt the pull to create more in your life—more impact, more income, more freedom—but haven't known where to start or how to make it happen without burnout, this episode is for you.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
✨ The Power of Self-Leadership:
Learn how stepping into your full potential and leading yourself first is the foundation of lasting success. We break down the mindset shifts required to stop waiting for permission and take full ownership of your goals, finances, and future.
✨ The Proven Blueprint for Wealth Creation:
We don’t just dream big—we take aligned action. In this episode, we share how the mentorship, business model, and strategic systems inside the Self-Led Woman movement have helped us uplevel our wealth, build sustainable income streams, and unlock financial independence.
✨ Why This Business Model Works for Women Seeking More:
We explain how we leverage a proven, duplicatable blueprint that allows busy women—whether they are professionals, entrepreneurs, or stay-at-home moms—to create a thriving business without sacrificing their values, family, or personal well-being.
✨ The Role of Mentorship and Community in Your Growth:
Success doesn’t happen in isolation. One of the key differentiators of our movement is the high-level mentorship, weekly trainings, and a powerhouse community of women who are all moving toward the same goal: upleveling their health, wealth, and circle of influence.
✨ The Invitation: Are You Ready to Elevate?
If you’re craving a shift—whether in your financial situation, career, or personal growth—and want to do it with a support system that actually empowers you rather than leaves you guessing, we invite you to take a closer look at our community. This is your chance to create success on your own terms, in a way that feels fully aligned.

This week we got to have a conversation that is close to our hearts both as mothers and women in business, with our dear friend Katrina Stark. Katrina has been a woman in our lives that we have not only been inspired by in business but parenthood, and have constantly turned to for advice, guidance and mentoring on parenting and child care options.
So we wanted to open up the conversation to other ambitious women who may also want to have the chat around child care options, and get an insight into other women’s worlds who have the desire to have and be BOTH a present stay at home mama but also a thriving successful business or career so you can get some ideas on how you can do both and what they may look like for you and your families values.
In this episode we talk about:
- What inspired us to what to have, do and be BOTH a mum and a business owner
- How all three of us have personally juggled business and how that has changed with our children’s ages
- What we are going to do differently with our second babies
- The difference between traditional day care and family day care
- Building and running businesses with and without external support
- At what point in our own journeys we started to outsource child care or get extra help and what drove those decisions
- Our personal experience and opinions on ‘mum guilt’
- Exploring out of the box options that allow you to work and live in alignment with your values - nannies, homeschooling, parent share
