Born in Australia and 100% plant-based, we're taking the worlds freshest, cleanest, and tastiest home-grown produce and creating out-of-this-world takes on the world's favourite flavours. A passion project born out of a health scare, Flave is a business solely focused on taking better care of yourself and our planet - it’s our way of showing how incredible our environment is, how delicious plant-based food can taste and how small every day decisions can collectively make a big impact. Our brilliant head chef, Scott Findlay, was trained under Gordon Ramsay before honing his plant-based recipes over a decade working as a private chef to legendary Sir Paul McCartney (a pioneer of the Meatless Mondays Movement) as well as ‘flexitarians’ Rihanna, Beyonce, Madonna, Elton John, and a bevy of other celebrities. From his plethora of experience, Scott has created a menu with a global perspective and drawn inspiration from our vibrant, multicultural world and in our humble opinion created the best plant-based burgers and bowls around. We're on a mission, to FLAVE the planet, one bite at a time. Starting right here in Bondi.

Fitstop is a leading innovative and fast-growing functional fitness franchise. Fitstop was born from the sheer passion, process and performance achieved when working with professional athletes. This formulated in Fitstop’s athlete-inspired approach to training that was simple, effective and continued to amass a strong community of fitness enthusiasts - and so, the Fitstop difference was born. From humble beginnings operating the first location out of a garage to achieving organic, swift momentum, Founder and CEO Peter Hull launched Fitstop franchising in 2017 so he could bring this athletic-based formula to the masses. Now, Fitstop makes its mark by impacting the everyday athlete and creating a genuine social impact in local communities through our mission to become the home of functional fitness, globally. As we continue strengthening our position on our journey to 100 locations, Fitstop’s just getting started with the backing of game-chaming programming, our custom-built Fitstop App, a growing, leading technology suite and unparalleled systems, processes and support. We’re changing the game in functional fitness and we could not be more proud. After launching the brand NEW Fitstop Formula, where we Lift, Perform, Condition and Sweat, we’re shaking things up to reinforce our core offering as performance-based, athlete-inspired training. A true fitness fusion designed by Fitstoppers, for Fitstoppers. At Fitstop, we’re building a championship team and NOT a team of champions. We bring the Fitstop difference to life by partnering with owner-operators and semi-passive investors who share the passion and determination to drive a successful business. Most of all, we partner with people eager to make a difference in their communities, members’ lives and the Fitstop network, in turn, being financially rewarded in an extremely fulfilling business. We’re hungry, we’re humble and we STOP AT NOTHING.

Entrepreneurs shape the future, sparking innovation, creating jobs, empowering dreams. We believe in challenging the status quo and finding solutions, one business at a time. While that journey can bring influence, recognition, and personal reward, it can also be arduous and lonely. Mindful of the unique pressures and isolation experienced along many an entrepreneur’s path, in 1987, a group of young pioneers designed a solution: a membership community dedicated exclusively by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs who have a proven record of success. Soon, that collective grew from a few hundred to many thousands, evolving into the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO). Today, EO welcomes entrepreneurs everywhere, connecting 18,000 of the world’s leading entrepreneurs from every sector, generation, culture, and walk of life across 80+ countries worldwide. We create belonging, forge connections, exchange diverse perspectives, and share extraordinary experiences, all year long. What makes our community special? In a word: connection. With EO, we go beyond the business to the whole entrepreneur, gaining insights that we pass on to our families and work teams. We recognize the interconnectedness of our success and learn to balance individual achievements with collective impacts. By gathering locally and connecting globally – in chapters, in regions, as one borderless community – we experience a 360-degree entrepreneurial journey that unlocks more of our full potential. As members of EO’s local and global communities, we belong, so we can become even more. Join EO and engage in a diverse collective that is always learning, always growing, and thinking big while being bold. Together, we will move the world forward.
