Episode description

Strap in for this one ‘cause today’s guest is a woman who does not shy away from inspiring reinvention – she’s the creator of The Lazy Prospector and incredible multi-hyphenate, Melissa Hobbs.

Mel has dedicated her time to making the world a better place for animals, co-founding Meat Free Week (which you may have heard of before!), then launching The Vegan Company, a no-judgement zone that connected people with the ever-growing collection of plant-based inspiration and information.

She’s on the board of the not for profit ‘Til The Cows Come Home, which rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes unwanted farm animals – where she adopted her glorious pet pig George. But wait, there’s more…

After leaving the bustling streets of Sydney for the serenity of coastal-country living in Northern NSW, she’s taken an active role in the business she co-founded over 20 years ago, e-fragrance, a beauty supplier to Australia’s leading corporate reward programs.

And she’s now preparing to open the doors of the The Lazy Prospector, her stunning, cozy cabin tucked in Tasmania’s rugged West Coast

Mel’s story of embracing change is so inspiring, as is her beautiful shack @thelazyprospector
