Amplified - 2XXfm 98.3 Conversations with entrepreneurs to uncover the real story behind their visibility and growth - what's worked and what hasn't. Their stories deserve to be heard and so does yours.

It's been an amazing roller-coaster of a year. I've had ups and downs but 7 years is no joke. Every day is a day closer to making dreams happen. When I started this itsy-bitsy business in Canberra, I had no idea what lay ahead. But I am glad I did it anyway.

It's been such a thrill, I'm working on amazing purpose-driven projects and there's so much more to come. A big hello and thank you to each and every one of you who've been part of my journey.

Rowena Morais

Meet Jacinta Robinson, female founder and life strategist. She started FuturePivots in April 2026, after fifteen years as a national security analyst and strategist.

For midlife women, Jacinta builds 1-5 year personal strategies with options, backups and pre-planned responses for the most likely scenarios. For small and medium enterprises, she builds resilience for a world that is fragile and reorganising.

She believes we need a different way of operating: see change early, shape what's possible, and own how we respond. The future isn't something we inherit. Jacinta speaks to Rowena Morais about building the future we want.

Meet Shirley Mckinnon --- she has spent 25+ years turning business owners into leaders — the kind who
build high-performing teams, and a culture people genuinely don’t want to leave.

Shirley is also the creator of the McKinnon Leadership Growth Index, a diagnostic tool she built back in 1999 to map exactly where a leader is strong and where they need to grow.

Outside of work, Shirley’s marriage was made in heaven — she met her husband when he was a book reviewer at the newspaper, and 40 years later, the free books are still piling up.

She’s a mother and grandmother, and when she’s not coaching leaders (or plotting her next mystery), she’s reading, writing, walking, or on a yoga mat.

You'll hear Shirley to Rowena Morais about her founder journey, with a particular focus on branding, visibility and positioning across the different things she engages in.
