Physiotherapist Tim Dettmann returned to the Today Show, this time tackling the growing myth that exercise-related cortisol spikes are making people tired and fat. Tim explained that an increase in cortisol during exercise is completely normal, with levels generally returning to normal within around 90 minutes. More importantly, regular exercise actually helps keep cortisol within a healthy range over the long term. His message? Be wary of social media health advice that isolates and blames a single hormone for complex health issues. And a lovely shout-out from Tim himself… Tim shared that his media journey began with Kate’s PR MasterClass around 10 years ago, followed by persistence, refining his pitches and continuing to show up. As he put it, success came from finding the right expert, following the process and doing the work.

Construction CEO Kim joined Sky News to talk about rising fuel prices and the real impact it’s having on businesses in the construction industry.

HR Specialist Catie appeared on two great Ticker segments last month. With workers heading back to the office after their summer break, Catie covered why returning to work can feel so destabilising, even when you’ve had a great time off. In her second interview she spoke about the shifts happening in employment law around flexible work arrangements as the Fair Work Commission is currently examining what ‘reasonable business grounds’ actually means when employees request to work from home.

Catie was also quoted in two separate Dynamic Business articles, the first focused on the secret to maintaining quality whilst cutting production costs, saying ‘when resources are stretched, the instinct is often to push harder or cut corners. But true leadership is about doing better with less—not just more. The key is clarity and empowerment.’

The second article focussed on the challenges for SME’s of scaling from 5 to 20 people. Her suggestion is to prioritise clear communication, define roles early, and be deliberate about culture.

It was presented as a linear progression’. She’s never been sold on the dream of having kids and explained what she’s doing instead.

Jaz also appeared in the pages of The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, talking about her ADHD and Neurodivergent Business Success. She says, ‘I’m so glad I set up my business because, if I’m honest, I don’t think I would be a very good employee anymore – I have too much passion in pursuit of my own success to spend that on someone else’s dream.’

Within just one week of pitching her courageous story to the journos at our Melbourne MasterClasss, Nikki was featured on both Sunrise, Channel 7 News, Ten News+ and the Daily Telegraph.

Nikki and her Smile Like Drake NFP have pioneered a world-first wearable AI drowning detection system, inspired by the loss of her only son to drowning. Chris Drake was 23 when knocked unconscious by a freak wave in Sydney in 2013. With help from leading innovation partners, Nikki has now developed AppTrakk, a high-tech solution to tackle both Australia’s and the world’s rising rates of drownings.

Such an inspiration Nikki!

Ex-detective turned private investigator and Sydney MasterClass grad Kylee had another phenomenal month of publicity. She chatted with Lindsay Mcdougall from ABC Illawarra Drive Time about the NSW Seniors Time to Shine Festival and scams that might affect older people.  

She also was both humbled and excited to learn that she had been nominated for a Women Changing the World Award and was featured in an Illawarra Mercury feature piece about her nomination for the London event. 

And it just kept coming with an ABC Melbourne interview, an ABC News piece, an article in The Senior, TWO interviews on 3AW, AND a 9Honey article as well!! 

Kylee’s mission is to destigmatise the immense shame often associated with falling for an online scam. Victims have fallen prey to an international crime syndicate and surely deserve sympathy, not judgement. 

When couples struggle to conceive, the focus is almost always on the woman. Yet male infertility accounts for about a third of infertility problems and most men know very little about this! Embryologist and multiple MasterClass grad Lucy Lines provides education and resources to help individuals understand their bodies and navigate fertility options and contributed to a fab Body+Soul article on sperm health last month.

He also strutted his stuff in a Channel 10 News segment charting his fairytale journey from Frankston car yard to London Fashion Week.

As Kate always says, media consumes other media. Ethan didn’t pitch his story to Channel 10, but having seen him in the pages of the Herald Sun, Channel 10 National News contacted him and he was on the news in two separate bulletins that very same night.

Ethan wants to use his platform to be an advocate and role model for those struggling in their teenage years. ‘The way things look for a certain period of time is not how they’re always going to look,’ he said, ‘Be in the moment with yourself, believe in yourself, nothing’s forever’.
