The new Small Biz Matters program is all about People, Policy, Purpose. It is conversational and chatty and dedicated to empowering small businesses and their advisors to engage with policy and advocacy. Why? Because what Government does very much Matters to all Small Biz. Good and bad. A labour of love, in 2014 Alexi Boyd started broadcasting to give back to the local small business community. She knew information and support was lacking. Now with over 220 podcasts, the show is sought by PR Agencies and Government departments for its rich, informative content. Media Partners include universities, the Australian Tax Office, ASBFEO, COSBOA and international fintechs. Sponsored by the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman’s office, each week we sit down with experts, advocates, business leaders, policy makers and politicians to dive into specific areas of government policy that affects your business and clients. We’ll give you a heads up on what’s coming down the policy pipeline, find out who’s fighting in your corner and empower you with ways you can influence those decisions which affect your business every single day. The program is broadcast weekly on Tuesdays live on local community radio Triple H 100.1FM, through the Community Broadcasting network, and wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

Small Biz Matters: People, Policy, Purpose ~ Episode #246
Broadcast date: 3 Sep 2024
Host: Alexi Boyd, Small Business Advocate & Policy Advisor
Guests: Guests, CEOs and leaders in Regional Australia at the Regional Australia Summit
The appeal of regional living is here to stay for thousands of metro movers, requiring new thinking and action on how the services, housing, and skills landscape will develop to meet this ongoing demand across the country. Important economic and social transitions are underway, and regional Australia is at the frontline of this change.
That’s the focus of the 2024 Regional Australia Institute’s Regions Rising National Summit and exactly the right platform to tackle the critical policy issues for regional Australia. Small Biz Matters was lucky to be invited, interviewing speakers, experts and leaders on their thoughts about their people, policy, and purpose for in particular, small business.
The program featured engaging addresses from the nation’s politicians, inspiring thought leaders and changemakers. A series of panels and concurrent sessions addressed the key pillars of RAI’s Regionalisation Ambition – a framework to ‘Rebalance the Nation’, telling the stories of regions’ challenges and success stories, and providing a wealth of knowledge to help drive change in communities and businesses.
It was a solutions-focussed, nation building event bringing together thought leaders across all sectors of government, industry, academia, and most importantly regional communities.
We interviewed:
- Liz Ritchie CEO Regional Australia Institute
- Hon Kristy McBain MP Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government
- Senator the Hon Bridget McKenzie, leader for Nationals in the Senate
- John Cleland, CEO Essential Energy
- Sam Dimarco , GM Regional & remote nbn
- Hacia Atherton CEO empowered women in trades
Let’s have a listen to their thoughts on the regional Australia’s People, Policy and Purpose!
