Good Hunter exists for stories like this one.

Meet Angelo. A Polynesian kid who once had his whole future mapped out on a rugby league field. Until life changed course, and he had to find a new way forward.

From NRL dreams to foster parenting. Building an NDIS organisation, Good Shepherd Support Services, and losing his 12-year-old niece to domestic violence. He is now training for a 1,680km run from Newcastle to Beenleigh AND back in 2027, in partnership with Jenny's Place Domestic Violence & Homelessness Support, to raise awareness and funds for domestic violence.

They doubted the kid. They questioned the man. He kept running anyway.

Join us and hear his story firsthand, join the discussion and leave inspired and challenged to be bold in your own pursuits.

Bringing people together for honest conversations is where change happens.

Last month, Jess from our team attended the Prelude Australia Women in Leadership Fundraiser, an event Mezzanine was proud to sponsor. And it was the kind of night that reminds you why this work matters.

One of the speakers, Viv Allanson OAM stood up and asked the room: "What are you prepared to lose today?" Not what are you prepared to gain. What are you prepared to lose. That question lands differently. It asks you to look at where your values stop being comfortable, and whether you're willing to honour them anyway. (We loved that her Rundle Tailoring suit is literally lined with her guiding values. Now that's wearing your purpose.)

She also spoke about building teams "who would go to battle for you". Through trust, genuine care and a shared sense of purpose. Because that's what people give everything for. Not a job title. A reason.

It was great hearing from Ben Jeffries, Mikaela Koelma and Nuatali Nelmes GAICD who also shared their own stories and insights on the night.

Congrats to Kimberly Lewis and the entire Prelude team on another incredible event. We're proud to support organisations like Prelude, showing up every single day for the people who need it most in our community.

Yesterday morning at Good Hunter, we had Richard Stark from Beyond Bank in the room sharing a few of the moments that have shaped his life and career. The opportunities he took. The ones he walked past. And why he’d make the same choices again.

There were plenty of laughs and some great conversation around the big bench as people shared their own sliding-door moments.

Our provocations:
What’s an opportunity that changed the direction of your life or career?
When have you taken a risk that paid off?
And have you ever walked past an open door because it just wasn’t the right one?

A big thank you to Richard for bringing such honesty, humour and generosity to the morning. And thank you to everyone who came along, joined in, and shared a bit of their own story.

Thanks also to our Good Hunter sponsors, INNX.hub and B Lab Australia & Aotearoa NZ, for helping make these conversations possible. That’s what Good Hunter is all about. Good people, good conversation, and a bit of space to think about the things that shape how we show up in work, life and community.

Join us at the next one.

Some moments change the course of everything.
A decision, a conversation, an opportunity you almost walked away from… but didn't.

This month, we're exploring those sliding door moments, the ones that shape our path more than we realise.

We're joined by Richard Stark from Beyond Bank, who'll be sharing his own story and guiding the conversation across three themes we think every leader needs to sit with: the moments that shaped us, the power of real connection and community, and what it means to stay grounded, focused and intentional every day.

What's one moment that changed things for you?

B Corps™ have been building a movement for 20 years, yet we always look forward. The newly launched standards for B Corp Certification mean we will have to meet specific mandatory requirements across social, environmental, and governance topics when we go through our next recertification process. And we will have to demonstrate continuous improvement going forward.

Some of these commitments are part of our everyday work. Some represent big changes. These are standards worth standing for.

We see this as an opportunity to go deeper, not just comply. We are strengthening how we measure and evidence our impact, embedding clearer accountability across governance, sharpening our environmental commitments, and continuing to invest in our people and community partnerships. Raising the bar is not a hurdle for us. It is a catalyst to lead with greater clarity, build stronger systems, and ensure our brand and business continue to create meaningful, measurable impact for the long term.

We work alongside purpose-led teams to strengthen their brand and amplify their impact. Every campaign we create is about bringing people together around shared purpose, and shining a light on the people who show up every day to make change happen.

Our B Corp™ Certification matters, it is our commitment to measuring and to keep pushing to improve how we do business. With B Lab’s new standards raising the bar, we’re treating this as a starting point, not a finish line.

The future feels in good hands when you see good people finding each other. We have worked closely with Top Blokes Foundation and St Philip's Christian Education Foundation, so seeing them collaborate for young people is genuinely exciting.

If your purpose was a dare, what could it push you to do?

If your values were your only business plan, what could change? If fear wasn’t in charge, what would you build?

At our Good Hunter meet-up yesterday, we explored what business looks like when it’s led Adventurously. Bravely. Creatively. (Thanks, Walter Mitty) The permission to think beyond the limits we quietly accept.

If you’re a business leader who wants to step outside the expected, we'd love you to come join us. Let’s see what could happen when we give ourselves permission. 👉 https://mezzanine.co/workshops-and-courses/good-hunter/
