Show Notes
Why Brittany Fox stopped waiting for permission and built a funded customer journey mapping tool. In this episode of Flip the Focus, Jen and Producer Nico sit down with Brittany Fox, founder of Nevam, for a conversation about what happens when a sharp operator stops seeing mess as a nuisance and starts seeing it as a market. Britt’s story is one of founder conviction: she went from marketing and consulting across huge systems to building a customer journey mapping tool designed to expose the cracks, connect the dots, and turn invisible friction into something businesses can actually act on. Britt doesn’t just talk about building a product, she talks about building the right thing. After years of watching teams bury insights in spreadsheets, dead emails, PowerPoints, and disconnected tools, she built Nevam to give businesses a shared view of the customer journey, so the work stops stalling in theory and starts moving in reality. It’s a tool for clarity, for alignment, and for finally making the invisible visible. And what makes this episode land is Brittany herself: A rare, funded female founder in a system that still vastly underfunds women, underestimates operators, and rewards polished noise over actual insight. Brittany is now in a place of real confidence; not the performative kind, but the kind that comes from knowing exactly what she’s solving, why it matters, and how to land funders who back her hard enough to build it her way. You’ll hear why she chose to sell the house and create room to bet on herself, and how confidence can be built through action, not just mindset. This is a story about momentum, clarity, and the powerful simplicity of knowing that if you want the system to change, sometimes you have to build the thing that the system was missing.

How can we keep people at the centre of tech, and build products that are safe by design instead of fixed after harm is done? Jen and Producer Nico sit down with Nakshathra Suresh, cyber criminologist, UNSW academic and co-founder of Eiris, to talk about what happens when AI blurs the line between our online and offline lives. Nakshathra works with startups, universities and businesses to build with safety, inclusion and human-centred design. She talks about why critical thinking is a bare minimum skill, and why that bar should rise with every tool we use. You'll hear Nakshathra share how getting her first social media account at 10 shaped her sense of self, and why she believes the problem isn't tech alone, it's the humans who interact with it. She explains the fine line between access and dependence with AI, how generative AI is collapsing the barrier between online and offline, and why people hand over intimate details to tools that may be collecting them. She also unpacks how AI supercharges romance scams, and what it means when your social media can be used to map your whole life. Nakshathra also tells the story of founders who assume the compliance team will handle privacy, and what happens when she asks how they're using AI. She makes the case for safety by design, points to the free eSafety Commissioner framework, and explains why you don't need a trust and safety team to think like a trust and safety person. Plus: why some cybercrime laws are older than the technology they now cover, and why privacy policies don't need to be 15 pages long.

What happens when the data shaping our digital lives forgets the humans behind it? In this episode of Flip the Focus, Jen and Producer Nico sit down with Dr Nadia Morozova, Chief Analytics and Insights Officer at Enriched Insights, to talk about the human side of data, the ethics of AI and why the most powerful insights come from understanding people, not just patterns. Nadia talks about the moment she realised data had a human face; moving from psychology and consumer research into roles at major brands like TikTok and Procter & Gamble; and the study that changed how advertisers thought about the platform. From the building blocks of good data: representation, quality and scalability, to underrepresented communities in research, we get into the need for data to reflect today’s reality to predict tomorrow’s. And the key consideration of the age: why frameworks and ethical baselines need to be in place before any AI model is built. In a world where human data is under threat at a National level - OpenAI hacking Australia’s Medicare systems, anyone…? Dr Nadia offers a simple but powerful shift: move the conversation from what technology can do to what humans need. Because the most sophisticated AI is only valuable when it helps us understand human needs, aspirations and challenges more clearly.
