In this episode, I'm chatting with multi award-winning insurance broker, Kate Fairley from Macedon Ranges Insurance. Here's the recap:


  • We highlighted the importance of demystifying business insurance and addressing common questions and concerns.
  • Kate explained the types of insurance needed for different businesses, such as work cover for employers, public liability insurance for all businesses, and professional indemnity insurance for service-based businesses.
  • We discussed real-life examples of insurance claims, such as copyright infringement for web designers and product liability for businesses selling physical products.
  • The importance of cyber insurance was emphasized, especially for businesses that handle sensitive client information.
  • We discussed the benefits of working with an insurance broker who can provide personalized advice and find competitive insurance options.
  • We encouraged business owners to prioritize insurance and seek professional advice rather than relying on online resources or social media for information.


Kate and I also spoke about the rewards of being a business owner and a parent. Kate shared that her business and employees work a four-day workweek and the importance of taking time for oneself as a mum and business owner.
