In this episode of Manaaki Live Pat MacFie talks to the amazing Wahine behind Hine Collection, Miria Flavell. “What inspired this brand for me was being quite ‘over’ seeing the same type of body images all over social media. Activewear & Fashion Label Accounts were a huge place for that. So I became really passionate about the idea of creating an active wear clothing line that catered to women of all shapes and sizes. My mission was to help make ALL women feel AMAZING, CONFIDENT and COMFORTABLE in our activewear” – Miria Flavell, Owner of Hine Collection

Today we are joined by the Founder and CEO of Mint Innovation, Will Barker, who shares with us what it is like to be in a bit of ‘hole’ in the wage subsidy scheme. As “inventors of stuff” Mint aims to get through, and has some support from heavy hitters, but in Will’s own words “its going to require all sorts of different mechanisms” As we’ve found on our own Manaaki journey, not all small businesses are the same, particularly in the Tech Sector and Mint Innovation would appreciate a rule change to get them through.

When Nick was 18, he and his brother Mat decided to turn what was then a hobby into a proper business. They had both cut short any plans to finish university and moved to China, which wasn’t a glamorous start by any means, but something must have been promising as their sister Anna joined them roughly a year later – and they are now one of the most successful entrepreneurial stories in this country. In a time when the ability to move, respond and adapt to an ever shifting environment is critical, we talk to Nick about the importance of innovation.
