How One DM Changed Everything with Jackson Mills from Mateship

https://www.mateship.app/ [https://www.mateship.app/] Jackson Mills [https://www.instagram.com/jacksonmillsy/] This week, I sit down with entrepreneur, content creator, touch football representative and all-round opportunity magnet, Jackson "Millsy" Mills. From landing his first role at Qantas through cold outreach, to sliding into the DM's and receiving a reply from Mark Cuban, becoming friends with the Beckhams, working in cybersecurity, and now building innovative startup Mateship, Jackson shares the lessons he's learned from saying yes, putting himself out there, and backing himself long before anyone else did. Together they chat about personal branding, startup life, side quests, social media, building in public, and why some of the biggest opportunities come from simply starting a conversation. If you've ever wondered whether you should send the DM, take the meeting, launch the idea, or put yourself out there a little more, this episode is for you.

Why Is A Woman's Relationship Her Most Interesting Content?

This week, we're diving into the world of parasocial relationships and asking a question I can't stop thinking about: Why is a woman's relationship often considered her most interesting piece of content? From Ariana Grande and Tammy Hembrow to soft launches, hard launches and everything in between, we're unpacking our obsession with knowing what's happening behind the scenes of other people's lives. I share a personal experience that made me realise just how invested people become in relationship content, why engagement skyrockets whenever romance enters the chat and whether creators should fight the speculation or learn how to control the narrative. Because at the end of the day, no matter how much content we consume, we never truly know what's happening behind closed doors. Let's talk parasocial relationships, internet culture, celebrity commentary and why maybe it's time we stopped writing fan fiction about real people's lives.

Off Campus, On Brand - Whats Good For Garret Graham Is Good For Marketing

This week, we dive into the cultural phenomenon that has taken over everyone's feeds: Off Campus. But this isn't actually an episode about hockey boys. It's about what happens when brands learn to sit at the intersection of pop culture, entertainment and marketing. From viral reach and trending conversations to why social media is no longer just a marketing channel, We unpack the real reason some content explodes while other brands are still shouting into the void. Plus, a few EOFY marketing tips, thoughts on relevance versus trend-chasing and why the brands winning right now are building worlds - not just selling products.

Your Soulmates Aren't Always Romantic

⁠Join us at our next community event! Tickets here!⁠ [https://www.chantelbrayley.com/our-next-event] Friendship is one of the most important parts of my life and honestly, one of the things I feel I've gotten right. In this episode, I'm sharing the stories behind some of the friendships that have shaped me, from my best friend of almost 20 years to the people I've met in Australia who have become family. We talk about what makes friendships last, why adult friendships can feel so hard to navigate and the difference between being connected by history versus being connected by values. I share my thoughts on friendship breakups, finding your people later in life, the importance of showing up for the people you love and why the strongest friendships are often the ones where you can happily do absolutely nothing together. If you've ever felt like you're struggling to find your people, wondering why certain friendships fade, or looking to build deeper connections, this episode is for you. Because at the end of the day, the best friendships aren't built on convenience or proximity, they're built on shared values, mutual respect, and choosing each other over and over again.

You Can’t Grow By Standing Still

This episode feels a little more personal than usual. I’m sharing a real, unfiltered look into the season of life I’m currently in - the chaos, the growth, the overwhelm, the gratitude and the quiet moments where I’ve had to stop and ask myself what I’m actually building toward. Over the past few weeks, life has felt full in every sense of the word. From events, work, friendships, networking, long days, little sleep and big dreams, I’ve realised that not every season of life is meant to feel calm and balanced all the time. Some seasons are for healing, some are for slowing down and some are for growing. This episode is a reminder that it’s okay to be in a chapter where you’re stretching yourself, dreaming bigger, working harder and becoming someone new - as long as it’s aligned with the life you truly want. I talk about ambition, boundaries, relationships, mindset, nervous system regulation, online culture and the importance of getting honest about whether we’re actually committing to the life we say we want. Honestly, this one felt more like a journal entry than a podcast episode… but maybe that’s exactly why I love it so much.
