3-Hour Workday? Bet. Let’s Make Your Time Work For You show art 3-Hour Workday? Bet. Let’s Make Your Time Work For You

The Youngprenuers Society Podcast

Somewhere along the line, entrepreneurship got romanticised into a "5:00 AM grind" where you sleep for four hours and work for twelve. If you aren't exhausted, people act like you aren't serious. I don’t buy that, especially for young entrepreneurs balancing school, jobs, or family life. You don’t need more hours; you need more focus per hour. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to get more done in three to five focused hours than most people do in twelve distracted ones. The One Thing Rule The biggest mistake young founders make is trying to move everything forward at once: the...

The Youngprenuers Society Podcast

We’ve all been there, that "lightbulb moment" where you’re convinced you’ve found the next big startup or the perfect side hustle. Your friends hype it up, and your mom says, “That’s nice, dear.” But here is the uncomfortable truth: Validation from friends is basically useless. Your inner circle wants to be supportive, not honest. In this episode, we’re diving into how to test your ideas before you waste months building something that nobody actually wants to buy.  It’s time to move past the "that’s fire" comments and get to the "where do I pay?" reality.

Productivity Hacks for Young Entrepreneurs show art Productivity Hacks for Young Entrepreneurs

The Youngprenuers Society Podcast

We talk about productivity all the time, especially as young entrepreneurs. Be more organised. Wake up earlier. Do more. Stay consistent. Push harder.  But if I’m honest, that kind of advice can feel overwhelming fast. It makes you feel behind before you’ve even started your day. So in this episode, I wanted to share what productivity actually looks like for me while balancing business, online school, content creation, and still having a life. For me, productivity isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters. What Productivity Really Means to Me It’s Not About Being...

Shopping shouldn’t be a guessing game, especially when it comes to clothes. Yet so many of us struggle with inconsistent sizing, frustrating change room experiences, and fast fashion fatigue. 

That’s exactly what inspired Zoe Tiffen and her sister Nikki to co-found ‘Know My Fit’, a digital marketplace connecting shoppers with local clothing brands that actually fit.

In this episode of the Youngpreneur Society Podcast, Zoe shares her journey from computer science graduate to startup co-founder and how real-world frustrations sparked an innovative solution. She talks candidly about the challenges of starting a business, staying motivated, and breaking out of the corporate “safe path” to build something with real impact.

Why Sizing is Broken, and What ‘Know My Fit’ Is Doing About It

‘Know My Fit’ is on a mission to take the guesswork out of shopping. Zoe explains how the platform uses your measurements to recommend clothes that fit, not just in theory, but in real life. From tackling fast fashion to spotlighting local Aussie and Kiwi brands, this is a startup with purpose.

How One Rejected Job Offer Changed Everything

After securing a coveted grad role in Big Tech, Zoe’s job offer was rescinded during mass layoffs. That moment became the turning point that led her to take a chance on her own idea, and since then, she hasn’t looked back.

Lessons in Startup Reality

Zoe gets honest about the highs and lows of launching ‘Know My Fit’. She discusses:

  • Why motivation isn’t enough, and what matters more

  • The “chicken and egg” problem of growing a marketplace

  • What no one tells you about customer acquisition

  • Why feedback and community are key to surviving the messy middle

Advice for Young Founders

Zoe shares practical tips for starting your own business:

  • Talk to people. Seriously, ask questions and be curious.

  • Embrace what you don’t know (and learn fast).

  • Get used to slow growth. Progress takes time, and that’s okay.

  • Surround yourself with people who believe in your vision.

The Vision for ‘Know My Fit’

Zoe’s big-picture goal? To make sustainable, local fashion the norm. With more brands joining the platform and additional features in the works (think: Tinder for clothes), ‘Know My Fit’ is creating a better way to shop, one that supports designers, values fit, and reduces waste.

Key Takeaway

You don’t have to follow the “safe” path to build a secure future. Sometimes, the most secure thing you can do is bet on yourself and start building the solution you wish existed.
