Some of the best business ideas start with a simple problem. But turning that idea into a successful company takes much more than a clever solution.

In the fourth and final episode of Extraordinary Business Stories, Sean Aylmer and Michael Thompson speak with two State Winners of the 2026 Telstra Best of Business Awards: Rebecca Dredge from Kiddo, Queensland Innovation Award Winner, and Hojun Tang from Yellowbox, New South Wales Innovation Award Winner.

Rebecca created Kiddo after struggling to find flexible childcare as a working mother, while Hojun's business began with an idea for smart lockers and has grown into a technology company operating in 20 countries. They discuss the challenges of bringing an idea to market, learning from mistakes, responding to customer feedback and why successful innovation often means changing direction.

Extraordinary Business Stories is a special four-part Fear & Greed Q+A series brought to you by Telstra. Meet this year's State Winners at telstra.com.au/awards.

Australians spend decades building their superannuation, but when retirement finally arrives, many are reluctant to spend it. One study found the median pensioner died with around 90 per cent of their retirement wealth still intact. So why are we so afraid of running out of money, even when we've saved enough to enjoy retirement?

In the latest episode of Fear & Greed's weekly series with MLC Expand, Sean Aylmer speaks with Ashton Jones, Director of Retirement Innovation at MLC, about the psychology of spending in retirement, why planning for income matters as much as building a super balance, and how to make sure your money lasts — even if you live to 100.

This interview is part of Fear & Greed's weekly series in partnership with MLC Expand.
