We’re excited to be a part of this worthy event supporting the Queensland Children’s Hospital. More to come…

🎥 A Special Day for Cruise For Kids 🎥

Today was a very special day for Cruise For Kids as I had the opportunity to sit down with Nicole and Jack from Ripple Media for a video interview and share the story behind why Cruise For Kids was created and what this event truly means to me.

We are incredibly honoured and grateful to have Ripple Media Toowoomba on board as one of our amazing sponsors for Cruise For Kids 2026. We were also so excited and humbled when they invited us to be featured in one of their Serving Toowoomba episodes, giving us the opportunity to share our story and the heart behind Cruise For Kids with the wider community.

During the interview, I spoke about the personal journey that inspired the creation of Cruise For Kids. Through my daughter's health challenges and the support our family has received from the Queensland Children's Hospital, I have experienced firsthand the incredible care, compassion and dedication shown to children and families during some of the most difficult times of their lives.

Cruise For Kids was created from a place of gratitude and a desire to give back. What started as an idea has grown into a community-driven event that brings together vehicle enthusiasts, local businesses, families and supporters, all with the common goal of helping children and families supported by the Queensland Children's Hospital.

Today's interview wasn't just about an event, it was about sharing the story behind the cause, the challenges many families face, and the importance of having organisations like the Queensland Children's Hospital there when families need them most.

It was an opportunity to explain why giving back is so important, how much this event means to me personally, and how every sponsor, volunteer, participant and supporter is helping us make a real difference.

Most importantly, it was a chance to shine a light on the children and families supported by the Queensland Children's Hospital and how the funds and toy donations raised through Cruise For Kids will help bring comfort, support and smiles to those who need it most.

This cause means the world to me, but I know I'm not alone. There are so many families whose lives have been touched by the Queensland Children's Hospital, and this event is for every one of them. It is about giving back to a hospital that supports thousands of children and families every year and helping ensure that support continues for those who need it most.

A huge thank you to Nicole and Jack for taking the time to listen to our story, understand our vision, and help us share the message behind Cruise For Kids. Their support through Ripple Media and the Serving Toowoomba series will help more people understand the impact this event can have and inspire others to get involved.

Together, we're building something much bigger than a motor vehicle show, we're building a community of kindness, support and hope for children and families facing difficult times. ❤️

🎥 Keep an eye out for the video coming soon! 🎥

We can't wait for you to hear the story behind Cruise For Kids, learn why this cause means so much to us, and see how together we can make a difference for the children and families supported by the Queensland Children's Hospital.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our journey. Your support, encouragement, sponsorships, donations and involvement are helping us create something truly special for children and families who need it most.

That little look back at the camera just makes the shot better. 👀

Most people only see the final reel.
They don’t see how much the pacing, timing, sound design and tiny little cuts change the way a video actually feels to watch.
Crazy how the exact same footage can either feel flat… or make people stop scrolling completely.

This might be the most accurate representation of local business collaborations ever.😂

Something about Ford lasers 🙄 No context, what do you think happened?

One message can genuinely change a lot.
Some of our best clients, opportunities, and conversations have started from a random DM.
Still blows my mind honestly.

They ordered PPE by the container.
I’ll have a Coke, thanks.
I just thought I’d come and check it out.
I didn’t even bring business cards.
We’re meeting with … this week. It’s exciting.
I’ve been smacked by tax, what are you…
I didn’t realise I was speaking with the CEO.
This sounds like Landman.
Do you know a good debt collector?
You don’t need an expensive website just yet, referrals are your next step.
Just gave the biggest quote I’ve ever done…👏(yasssss!)
Hey, I know a guy…
Next time, I’m bringing (name).

These are some of the conversations we heard at Ripple Offscript 4 last night.
Business can be tough and thrilling, and having genuine convos with people who give a damn is priceless. It always makes us smile that polite banter becomes more real as the night progresses. And the laughs are next level 😄
Thanks to all who attended at various stages through the evening. To those who couldn’t make it, see you at the next one.

People begin learning from you online long before they ever become a customer.

Trust starts building quietly in the background.
One video gets shared to a friend.
Someone remembers your face from a reel.
Another person learns something from your content before they ever reach out.

Over time, your business stops feeling like a stranger and starts feeling familiar. Recognisable. Trusted.

That’s the part of social media most people don’t realise until they experience it themselves.

Social media gets criticised a lot, and sometimes fairly.
But when you stop and think about it, it's also created opportunities that simply didn't exist before.
It's helped businesses reach people they never would have met. It's helped communities form around shared interests. It's helped people learn new skills, stay connected, build friendships, and discover local businesses they may never have found otherwise.
Whether it's being used to educate, entertain, tell stories, or grow a business, it's pretty incredible what can happen when people are able to connect with each other at that scale.
Like any tool, it's all in how we choose to use it.

Walking through Workwear Discounts Toowoomba with Bernie was one of those experiences.

Within minutes he was talking through sizing, fit, different styles, and features I’d never even thought about before. Not from a script, not from a sales pitch, just from years of helping people find the right gear for the job.

The PSP pocket was a great example. Such a simple idea, but it came from understanding the real-world problems tradies run into every day.

I left with a whole new appreciation for how much thought goes into workwear. Most of us just see pants, shirts and boots. Bernie sees hundreds of stories, lessons, and years of experience behind every product on the shelf.

Thanks to Bernie and the team at Workwear Discounts for having us.
