Shameless meets Working Hard: the BTS of building a multi million dollar podcasting phenomenon

Author: Grace Beverley March 30, 2026 Duration: 1:11:15

We're kicking off our Aus series with the Shameless girls!! I'm so excited. Since starting their podcast as a side hustle back in 2018, Zara Mcdonald and Michelle Andrews have built Shameless Media into a podcast network that accounts for 10% of Australia’s podcast wealth, and was reported to be on track to make over 10 million AUD in Revenue in 2025. So if you want to turn your passion into a million dollar business, you want to hear more about exactly how they’ve done that whilst staying true to their values, or if you’re just fans of Mich & Zara like me, this episode is for you!

Grace Beverley hosts the Working Hard with Grace Beverley podcast, a series that moves far beyond standard productivity tips or generic business advice. Here, conversations explore the nuanced and often unconventional paths to achievement across a wide spectrum of life. You’ll hear from a diverse array of guests, including housing campaigners, seasoned investors, and sex experts, each sharing the specific challenges and insights from their unique fields. These discussions naturally avoid easy answers, instead delving into the real work, the personal philosophies, and the redefined metrics of success that drive these individuals. The podcast sits at an interesting crossroads of business, health, fitness, and self-improvement, reflecting Grace’s own multifaceted approach to work and life. Listening feels like gaining access to a series of candid, private mentorships, where the lessons learned are as much about personal resilience and perspective as they are about professional strategy. It’s a space for anyone curious about the many forms that hard work and fulfillment can take, offering stories that challenge the typical rhetoric and inspire a broader, more personal definition of what it means to truly succeed.
