NRMA insurance presents Survive and Thrive with Mark Bouris
Mark Bouris will host a new six-part video series, Survive and Thrive, presented by NRMA Insurance. The series will see Mark mentor Australian business owners who have been effected by recent crisis to help them take their business to the next level.
The announcement:
Right now, millions of Australian small business owners are struggling to stay alive. Fires, Floods and a 2-year pandemic have left many on the brink of disaster.
Now, in a breakout video series, launching on February 2, ‘Survive & Thrive’ – presented by NRMA Insurance – sees business guru and entrepreneur Mark Bouris mentoring six business owners as he helps them overcome their biggest barriers.
This original long-form video series is an expansion of the mentored.com.au brand as it increases it offering beyond its traditional realm of podcasts.
It’s Bouris at his best, as he asks the tough questions and provides real solutions to help small business, ranging from hairdressers, to tattoo artists -battered by everything the last few years has thrown at them.
Since the start of The Mentor podcast in 2016, host Mark Bouris has sought to bring another dimension to the way business is talked about in this country.
“There’s a real problem with the way we talk about businesses.” he said.
“We’re always talking about the extremes. You either hear about those at the height of success, or those at their lowest. We either hear about the Apples or Atlassians, the real success stories, or those down and out who just can’t make it another day.”
A six-part online series, Survive & Thrive puts the focus back on the millions of entrepreneurs whose stories go unsung.
“There’s hundreds of thousands of business owners out there who’ve done well for themselves. They’ve built up something to be proud of, but they just might’ve hit a wall,” Bouris said.
After countless natural disasters, debilitating lockdowns, and the day-to-day grind, all of Australia has seen the strength and resilience of our small business community. Particularly in a world where we’re more divided than ever, celebrating our small business community – something that entrepreneurs of every stripe and creed can belong to- is a special thing.
“I know Australian businesses can survive whatever’s thrown at them. I know they can make it through uncertainty,” Mark says, introducing one episode in the series.
“But to thrive, to go to that next level, sometimes they need a bit of guidance, because to put it frankly, what got you to where you are now, isn’t always what’s going to get you to where you want to go next.”
“[Survive & Thrive is all] about showcasing the stories of Australian entrepreneurs and trying to help them figure out for themselves, what’s their barrier to going to the next level, and what’s going to get them past that.”
The first longform series produced by Mentored, Survive & Thrive has been created in partnership with NRMA Insurance. Additional support has come from GoDaddy Australia.
Brought to life behind the camera and in the edit by sister company Mentored Media, Survive & Thrive launches Wednesday the 2nd February at 6pm on Mark Bouris’ YouTube Channel.
