ust over six years ago, former JCatalano journo-turned-media executive Antony hit upon an idea. When the global
media industry was wringing its hands over the apparently dire future of print publishing, he took a punt and launched a quality glossy home-delivered magazine, celebrating the best of living in Melbourne and showcasing the city’s most desirable properties. The idea proved to be inspired. Today, The Weekly Review is a thriving multi-media operation with nine editions delivered to 600,000 homes across Melbourne and Geelong each week, a popular website, and fast-growing social-media channels. In this week’s special Success Edition, we celebrate local success stories like our own. We’re also proud to launch the TWR Startup Stars Award, in search of Melbourne’s most brilliant startup. To be in the running for the award, worth more than $10,000, go to our website and let us know your own brilliant business idea. ●

DISRUPTIVE
INFLUENCE LISA MESSENGER HAS BUILT AN EMPIRE BY UPSETTING THE STATUS QUO
L
isa Messenger admits that not only has she plunged several times headlong into a new business without knowing much about it – she revels in doing it. Take her “entrepreneurial and lifestyle” magazine, Collective Hub, launched in 2013 into a challenged publishing environment. Lisa knew little about magazines and had never worked for one. “I had no idea what I was doing,” she says. “I had three staff under the age of 25 and I was going into a market that people said was dead or dying. So it was an interesting time.” It was likewise with her website, collectivehub.com, which features eight to 12 new stories each day. “I had no idea about online or digital,” she says. “I learnt the mechanics and put a team in place.” Lisa’s instincts proved to be excellent. The idea of launching businesses without multi-page business plans encapsulates her notion of what she calls “failing fast” – just jumping in and doing it. Lisa, 45, now oversees a media empire that includes the magazine (now sold in 37 countries), website, books, events and even homewares. She oversees every arm of the business, describing herself as the “brand architect”. She has written (or co-written) 16 books, one of which – Daring and Disruptive – will be released in the US in September through the major publishing house Simon and Schuster. We meet at The Weekly Review on a day when Lisa is down from Sydney with a diary packed with Melbourne engagements. She is a media darling who is invited to hang out with Sir Richard Branson on his private Caribbean island and, more recently, spent five days on Branson’s Makepeace Island near Noosa. The day before our interview, she says, John Cleese rang her. One another occasion American Vogue’s legendary editor Anna Wintour’s office rang asking if she could meet Anna
when she was in New York. “People asked me what I was going to wear. I said, ‘I don’t care what I’m going to wear, I’m worried about what’s going to come out of my brain!’.” Lisa started out in marketing and public relations before launching The Messenger Group, an independent custom book publishing operation, in 2001. But it’s with Collective Hub, a publishing operation she calls “a global community of entrepreneurial and creative minds who have an appetite for changing the status quo”, that she has made her mark. Under its banner she runs 18 business arms including a multi-media business comprising the monthly print
turn an ending into a beginning into a beginning. Geared towards the positive but not afraid to confront the negative, it says a lot about Lisa’s outlook on the world and goes a long way to explaining her crash-or-crash-through multi-platform success. She reflects on that time. Her previous book Life & Love had just gone to number one on Booktopia, the magazine was doing really well, “things were starting to move, then this break-up came out of the blue and dropped me to my knees. I couldn’t brush it under the carpet. It’s really inauthentic if I didn’t say, ‘Actually, I went through tough stuff too’.” She says writing about the break-up was “kind of hideous
“It’s about being an entrepreneur, living my life out loud, showing that anything’s possible” magazine, online news site, an event company, a custom publishing unit, an online store offering products such as candles, towels and diaries as well as links to Lisa’s speaking engagements and conferences or festivals. Lisa likes to go out of her way to do things differently, such as arriving at business meetings without supporting material because it makes connecting on a human level easier. Her philosophies on life and business are neatly encapsulated in her latest book – her 16th – in which she writes of a devastating break-up. “I thought my next book might be entitled Marriage and Motherhood but life had other plans … Clearly the universe didn’t get the memo.” The book outlines the break-up with “the man of my absolute dreams” who walked out “six days after we had just moved into our dream apartment together”. The book’s title needed to change, and it did, to Break-ups and Breakthroughs:
and kind of extraordinarily cathartic”. “I made a decision when I launched Collective Hub that I would live my life out loud. I’m strong enough and very confident in myself that whatever comes at me I will talk about and try and empower other people on that journey.” Central to her philosophy is non-conformism, doing things differently, testing an idea without fear of its failure. “I’m purposefully counter-intuitive,” she says. “I look at how something’s been done and I purposefully flip it.” She is a personification of another company’s brand motto – just do it. And do it fast. She has vowed to live her life “daringly and ferociously”. “For me it’s about being an entrepreneur, living my life out loud, showing that anything’s possible. And that will not change until the day I die.” ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au
the secrets of her success WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALISE YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL? When things started flowing in a fairly natural form that started to mean success. I began my first business on October 22, 2001, at 31. I had 11 years of really nothing, churning along in business, over-servicing, under-charging, being everything to everyone, comfortable but not excited every day – 11 years of that slog. And finally I got to a point where a light bulb dropped and I thought, ‘This is what I want to do’. SECRETS OF SUCCESS? You need to know what your weaknesses are. I am terrible at detail so I surround

myself with an amazing team. But I also know what I’m good at: being a visionary and pulling together teams and looking at things differently. Don’t expect that you can do it all; surround yourself with amazing people. HAS YOUR IDEA OF SUCCESS CHANGED? Before Collective I used to buy a lot of stuff. When you’re not completely fulfilled in your life – this was true for me – you go out and buy clothes or shoes or whatever and it’s instant gratification. The funny thing is now, every single day as an editor, I get sent probably 10 to 20 free things – clothes, shoes, all the stuff I used to buy – and now I pretty much give it all away to my team. I
don’t need stuff any more. I used to think I was going to work to be successful to buy more stuff, and now as I’m getting a level of success I actually don’t want stuff. I’m living more and more simply now that I’m more fulfilled in my work. HAS SUCCESS CHANGED YOU? I hope not. I don’t feel any different. I feel this is the start of a very big vision and I don’t want to get complacent or egotistical. It’s not why I started. The moment we forget why we started something, then it can all fall apart. TOP TIP? Have an unwavering self-belief. You might
knock on 80 doors and all but one will get slammed in your face. You’ve got to have that tenacity to keep going. Have a really clear vision and understand your “why”: why are you doing this? That’s the one question I ask myself every day. And hustle. You’ve got to get out there and work your butt off. HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS IN OTHER PEOPLE? My biggest measure of success is seeing others use their talents and step into their own purpose. Once they do that, I view them as successful because they’re living their best life and following their passion. That is true success in my eyes. ●

He is chairman and president of Swimming Australia, chairman of Sport Australia Hall of Fame and chairman of the Alannah and Madeline Foundation.

JOHN BERTRAND
WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALISE YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL? I’m still trying to prove it – but clearly the America’s Cup. No one had achieved that before. The America’s Cup started before the US Civil War, to put it in context, and no other nation had been able to win it until we put a program together to beat the Americans. SECRETS FOR SUCCESS? You’ve got to have passion. Without passion it’s very difficult to achieve. And dedication and hard work. But invariably success comes from people, from a team environment. Yachting and swimming are very much team environments. I’m very much into team building.
(LISA’S MAKE-UP \ CATERINA PULEIO)
HAS SUCCESS CHANGED YOU? It has given me a sense of great contentment. With the America’s Cup I, had nothing more to prove in the world of sailing. Contentment is a wonderful thing for someone who’s so driven, like myself. The big challenge for someone who’s achieved something on the global stage and climbed their own Everest is to find the next passion in one’s life, because to go back and keep duplicating it is a little sad in many ways. HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS IN OTHERS? By what someone has achieved in their field, and what sort of balance they have. There’s the opportunity to give back. The higher a person achieves, the more opportunity there is to give back, and I see that as a responsibility. TOP TIP? Success requires good people around you. It requires people support, mentoring, expertise. Very rarely is it a one-man or one-woman show. ● NEXT PAGE \ HAROLD MITCHELL & CAROLYN CRESWELL’S SECRETS

CAROLYN CRESWELL
“THE WEALTHIEST PEOPLE I’VE MET HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE MOST UNHAPPY”
As an 18-year-old first-year university student in 1992, Carolyn Creswell bought a small muesli business, where she worked part-time, for $1000 and launched Carman’s Fine Foods. Her products are now sold in 2500 outlets around Australia and in 32 countries. She sits on the board of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation. In 2012 Carolyn was named Telstra Business Woman of the Year. In 2015, BRW magazine’s Rich Women list estimated her wealth at $57 million.
that has just won Woolworths’ Supplier of the Year. People say, ‘You’re exactly the same as you always were’. Money does not make you happy. To me it’s always about being so proud of Carman’s. Money doesn’t buy anything [important] like having a strong marriage, having a great family and good friends. The wealthiest people I’ve met have been some of the most unhappy, or perhaps have their priorities a little bit skew-whiff.
WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALISE YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL? I was at the airport in 2004 and went over to put something in the rubbish bin and saw three separate Carman’s wrappers in the bin and it was one of those moments of, ‘Oh my god’. I remember getting my phone out and photographing the bin. These are real people in the real world who have bought Carman’s. It was this overwhelming moment.
HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS IN OTHER PEOPLE? As [American poet and civil rights activist] Maya Angelou said: “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do and liking how you do it”. It’s not about the title on the business card, it’s about having your priorities right – I’m a good person, I’m doing something that’s making a difference.
(SUPPLIED)
SECRETS OF SUCCESS? It’s working out the small tweaks you need to make to ensure you are better tomorrow than you were yesterday. It’s constant evolution – how could I change that, can I systemise that – all the time. I have a sign on my desk: “Inch towards a better tomorrow.” It’s the little ones that make such a difference. HAS SUCCESS CHANGED YOU? I still think I’m absolutely the same person. I can’t believe I’ve gone from the checkout at Coles to having a business

TIPS FOR SUCCESS? Do what you love doing. It’s about doing something because you’re going to make a difference. Having a sense of purpose. Every January I think, ‘OK, what are the things I want to do with my life?’ It could be tiny things. And then I laminate them and put them in my shower and remind myself every day. That way you can evolve your life. ●
One of Australia’s wealthiest and most highly regarded businessmen, Harold Mitchell turned the small media buying business he founded in 1976 with just $2000 into a national advertising powerhouse, Mitchell & Partners. In 2010 he sold the company to London-based Aegis for $363 million. A passionate patron of the arts, he has been chairman of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the National Gallery, and has sat on the board of the New York Philharmonic. He is also a former vice-president of Tennis Australia and one-time owner of the Melbourne Rebels rugby union team. WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALISE YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL? In the early years success was getting through to the next day. I sometimes didn’t have enough money to get through the whole week. Completing a week was a success.
abuse that sort of power you don’t have it any more. Sadly it’s also made me a little wary because people tend to look to take an advantage where they can. I try to put that into the background. People ask, ‘How and why are you successful?’. The only thing that has ever driven me – and I suspect anybody like me – is a fear of failure. HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS IN OTHER PEOPLE? More often than not success is measured by the usual values of money. I never have. In the middle years of our business I can remember twice a year I would have a Chinese dinner in Melbourne with a man who had the greatest grasp of people that I couldn’t quite get. He was a sergeant in the police force and he saw real people up close. I was fascinated by the stories he told of real people. He was fascinated with the stories I had about rich people and we had the best hour and a half you’ve ever had. I thought he was as successful as you could ever get.
SECRETS OF SUCCESS? You will never be successful at achieving something unless you decide what it is. I always say to people, ‘Let us decide which mountain we’re trying to climb. Let’s isolate it down to one mountain rather than trying to climb five little ones’.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS? Every Saturday morning I’d drive from St Andrews into the city and make up the accounts for the week or month. That started a pattern. I sat down with a pencil and paper and had a review, for about an hour, of how it was going. Then for the next hour I would think about the future. I made a plan and everyone around me knew what that was. ●
HAS SUCCESS CHANGED YOU? In two ways. First it has given me a greater power to get things done. People respect someone who’s achieved something. You have to be careful of that because if you

Seville Estate Shiraz 2013 (Yarra Valley) $36; 13.5%
This is a blend of 70 per cent cabernet, 15 per cent merlot, 10 per cent malbec and 5 per cent petit verdot. With dark berries, cassis and spice, its perfume is layered and complex. It’s the same in the mouth, with amazing fine-boned tannins, structure and vibrancy. Its concentration is amazing. For all that, it’s seamless and has high drinkability. ●
There’s one problem with Oakridge’s single vineyard series wines and that is they’re all good. Choosing a favourite is a little like choosing a favourite child. There’s delightful perfumed dark-berry aromas, plus a little forest floor, spice and stalk. Seductively silky, there’s a great flow through the mouth, with energetic acidity and fine tannins. ●
I’m a sucker for this style of shiraz. It’s also a grape that’s a dark horse in the Yarra Valley. With dark cherries, raspberry, cedar and blackberry aromas and flavours, there’s a perfume that starts on the nose and carries through to the finish. It’s concentrated, but not intense, and a bright line of acid gives it elegance. The fine tannins offer a glossy grip. ●

n a town where food trends and players come and go, where punters queue for gelato and play dumpling roulette, where we obsess over the latest in places and forget about others, a few restaurants have truly stood the test of time. These are the blue-chip shares of dining, where you know you’ll leave satisfied. They are restaurants that have reached cult status through sheer hard work and dedication to hospitality, achieving an inexplicable je ne sais quoi. It’s the constitution of the place, it’s the vibe, it’s (in the case of Flower Drum at least) the Mapo. ● aliceinframes@theweeklyreview.com.au
FLOWER DRUM \ Since 1975
When we talk about “party atmosphere”, the bar at Di Stasio is where it’s at. Career waiters swan around in white jackets and black bow ties, eager to pour another drink or share another joke. At the helm are Ronnie Di Stasio and Mallory Wall, who’ve been flitting about this fun zone for almost 30 years. Their secret? A sense of freedom and conviviality that can only be described as #Italianality. The “No Foto” policy ensures privacy for late-night trysts and trust-fund babies. Beloved by fab food critics Dani Valent and John Lethlean, among others, the menu is simple, seasonal and wine-friendly. Pasta made twice daily, shellfish with garlic butter and muslin-wrapped lemon to catch the pips, as if to say, “we know what you want before you do”. ●
At Flower Drum, those in the know leave it to restaurant manager Jason Lui or one of his team to pick a menu. Jason’s father, chef and owner Anthony Lui, took over the reins from his mentor and original owner Gilbert Lau (now of Lau’s Family Kitchen) in 2000. What keeps the fire burning in Anthony’s belly? “The faces of happy diners leaving the table and their empty plates returning to my kitchen” – where he continues to man the pass after 36 years. Consistency is the key, from the attentive service to the way the elevator takes its time delivering you to the top, reminding you to slow down and relax. “Flower Drum is my benchmark,” says veteran food writer Rita Erlich. ●

LAKE HOUSE \ Since 1984
If you’re after a shucking good time, then France-Soir is your oyster. Since 1986, Jean-Paul Prunetti has provided late-night pundits of pleasurable eating with their fill of filet de boeuf, escargot and steak tartare. The tartare is the stuff of legend: pasture-fed O’Connor beef, minced by hand (as it should be) with an array of brunoise-cut condiments such as shallots and cornichon folded through. It’s a favourite of those in the know, including chef George Calombaris and food journalist Necia Wilden, who is “convinced they pipe mood enhancers through the air-conditioning”. Described as “a haven for visiting dignitaries and celebrities”, this is the sort of place where you’ll want to keep a close eye over your shoulder if you’re a fan of seeing and being seen. Stay a while – the kitchen’s open until midnight. ●
In his tome Melbourne: The Making of a Drinking and Eating Capital, food writer and Melbournophile Michael Harden describes Grossi Florentino as ever-evolving, “reinvent(ing) every day … with superb produce and consistently brilliant cooking”. Since the building’s first turn as a wine cafe in the late 1890s to the opening of the original Cafe Florentino in 1928, to three generations of Grossi generosity post-1999, this stayer is basically the Madonna of Bourke Street. Guy Grossi’s menu is profoundly Italian with an indulgent approach – like his pasta dough, which has been known to use five times the usual egg yolk quota. The resulting sunny-hued dishes come adorned with what’s good – pine mushrooms, zucchini or, in the case of his smoked ricotta-filled “Ravioli All’Uovo”, yet more yolk. ●
Look up “if you build it, they will come” in the dictionary, and you’ll see the determined, dirt-smeared faces of Alla and Allan Wolf Tasker, who have turned a shrubby swamp into one of Victoria’s most successful restaurants over the past 32 years, inspiring a plethora of tree-changing chefs and producers. Theirs is a highly produce-driven menu, with a regularly updated letter at the front – detailing what the weather’s been up to and how it’s affecting your plate, be it the Skipton eel or the Angelica carrots. There’s a real sense of place and a connection with the land in a decidedly un-didactic way. Founding Good Food Guide editor Claude Forell is most taken with Alla’s aptitude for vegetables, offering that “few places cater as well to vegetarians”. Come for the Springs, stay for the spring onion. ●

here are traditional measures of success and one of them has always been your car. And by this measure Australians are doing very well indeed; the luxury car market has never been as successful as it is right now and there are no signs of a slowdown. Whether it’s an Audi A1 or a Ferrari – or anything in between – Australians have never bought more. The figures speak for themselves. In 2000 Australians bought 787,100 new vehicles, in 2015 we bought 1,155,408, an increase of 47 per cent. In the same period
sales of BMWs have risen by 161 per cent, Mercedes-Benzes by 185 per cent and Audis 665 per cent. Bentley sales are up by an astounding 1217 per cent and Rolls-Royce by 1400 per cent. Lotus sales have doubled, Ferrari’s have almost tripled, both Maserati and Lamborghini are up by almost 10 times and Aston Martin sales are up by 13 times. Porsche sales have increased by almost 500 per cent, Land Rover/Range Rover sales have doubled and Volvo is up 63 per cent. In fact the only prestige brand I could spot that’s down is Alfa Romeo.
Now consider the luxury brands that have come along since 2000: Infiniti sold 574 cars in 2015, McLaren 36 and Mini 3342. Prestige sales are still going up. So do more people have more money or are the rich getting richer? It’s neither; prestige cars don’t cost a whole lot more now than they did back then and, in many cases, they’re cheaper, despite being vastly safer and better-equipped. Wages have grown, thus many more people can splurge on what they’ve always aspired to drive. Consider this: In 2000, a mid-range
Mercedes C240 cost $73,000 plus on-roads, way more than the average Australian income of $45,000. Right now a C250 costs $76,513 drive away – less than the average income of $87,000. At the same time, a BMW X5 was $108,000 plus on-roads in 2000; now X5s start under $100,000. Audi’s priciest A6 was $135,400 plus on-roads in 2000, now it’s $137,190 drive away. And the big brands have all introduced smaller, cheaper entry-level models since then to tempt more people into their brands and, hopefully, keep them there. With Audi it’s the A1, BMW has the 1-series and Mercedes-Benz the A-class. Now a Corolla can cost more than some German brands: a Corolla ZR sedan is $34,810 drive away while you can drive out in an Audi A1 for $31,500. Finance options are more attractive too. Novated leases on work cars make prestige brands tempting and they’ve exploded in popularity. So if you think you’re seeing more prestige cars around, you are. And if you think it’s a sign Australians are richer, well that’s right too but not nearly so much. ● ROD EASDOWN reasdown@theweeklyreview.com.au

Who is she? Oakleigh mother of three Rachel McGrath came up with the idea of kids care vending kiosks to make life easier for mums and dads on the go, and launched Baby Station in 2014. “Packing the nappy bag for an outing with your baby is no mean feat,” she says. “Nappies, wipes, dummies, bottles, the list goes on and on! Sometimes, despite your best planning, you don’t pack enough of the essentials. ”
own, overseeing a 25-30 per cent increase in sales this year. “It’s manageable enough for one person. But as we get bigger, we are definitely going to have to employ staff.”

The inspiration “Baby Station was born when I had to go to the hospital with my son, Myles, who was six at the time. I basically grabbed him, the nappy bag and ran. When we got there, I had only one nappy, three wipes and half a packet of sultanas in the nappy bag. We were stuck there for hours – he was screaming and … I thought surely I could get something but there wasn’t [anything]. There was a vending machine full of cans of Coke, chips, that sort of thing. I knew I had to do something.” The story so far Baby Station has two kiosks to date, one at Melbourne Central and another at Chadstone. Rachel currently runs the business on her

We’ve won the Most Innovative Product at the Brilliant Biz Mum Awards and second prize for Innovative Product in the Ausmumpreneur Awards.” What I’ve learnt “I don’t think there’s been any massive mistakes. They are all really good learning experiences – for example, over-ordering certain products, especially perishable ones.” In five years’ time, I’d like to be … “National.

amed after the town north of Ballarat where its first owners came from, Tourello is a noteworthy period house resplendent with original features. Its vendors have considered themselves custodians of a piece of history, and have taken great pains to ensure the house’s period integrity remains for future generations. They’re wistful about moving on but it’s time for a downsize. They hope there’ll soon be children running down the hall, and another family will cherish Tourello’s timeless liveability as much as they have. Whatever the first owners did in Tourello, it was likely gold-related and seemingly lucrative. In 1906, after selecting a prime block of 808 square metres close to the railway line, they poured a pretty penny into a grand and solid construction, and embellished the house’s interior with fine features and flourishes. Some of these features are unmissable. Not quite Victorian and not quite Edwardian, the ornately carved mantel in the sitting room grabs attention, as do the 4.5-metre ceilings. Other features require a keener eye. Among the vendor’s favourites are the hand-shaped handles on the original oven and the butler call system in the hall.
MELBOURNE’S BEST
PROPERTIES
A mini version of the one in Rippon Lea mansion, this nifty forerunner of the intercom is still operational. Tourello enchants from first sight. Tessellated tiles on the front verandah are original, and there’s lovely leadlight around the front door. The front lounge has a corner fireplace. Across the hall is another sitting room, with a box-bay window and fireplace. The massive main bedroom has its own fireplace and bay window. Next door is a dressing room or walk-in wardrobe painted in bright red. Further down the hall, the modernised main bathroom has a shower over a spa bath. Concluding the house, the kitchen, dining and living area is in an extension to the original house. Along with the original oven, the kitchen has contemporary appliances. Then there’s the garden. A wide space along the property’s south-eastern boundary, it’s tranquil, established and fruitful. A deck and terrace provide settings for garden parties. The double carport connects with a workshop. Skip down the lane, and you’re at Caulfield Park. ● KAY KEIGHERY property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Who needs a holiday when you have resort-like luxury in your own backyard? Even if the temperature isn’t quite warm enough yet, this two-storey, red brick family house has a mammoth, split-level deck out back that heads down to a luxurious pool with palm trees. Indoors is pretty swish, too, with loads of room for big families to carve out their own spaces. The tiled entrance hall leads to two open-plan living areas arranged around the deck, with a dining room joining them. The family room has a fireplace and glass display cabinets. There’s also a tiled meals area with a wide bay window. The kitchen has timber cabinetry, a wall-mounted Bosch oven, separate five-burner stovetop and breakfast bar. There’s a study with a built-in desk and a door to the double garage. Heading upstairs, the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and dual-vanity en suite with a glass-brick wall. Of three additional bedrooms, all have built-in wardrobes and two are equipped with desks. The location is excellent, too, with schools, Caulfield racecourse, parks and trains nearby. ● STEPHEN A.
