Karin Traeger - The Plastic Runner
An environmental activist, dedicating her life to water conservation and protection. During her 9-5 she’s the CEO of Yarra Riverkeeper, whilst organizing cleaning initiatives through her Plastic Runner organisation. What you see is what you get with Karin, she’s purpose-driven and the epitome of determination, nothing and no one will get in her way as she lives out her dream and purpose day in, day out. By founding Plastic Runner, an initiative to stay healthy and fit while doing good to our planet, she was head hunted to take on a senior role within Yarra Riverkeepr Association and eventually becoming the CEO. A little cliché but that’s a perfect example of the saying; Fortune favours the brave. We were blown away by her energy, mission and our lack of knowledge about the effects of neglecting the health of our rivers and oceans.

Carly Hughes of Appetite For Nutrition
Carly’s humble and boisterous energy is infectious, she walked into the studio and instantly put a smile on our faces, and we think this has been a critical ingredient for her success to date. She has selflessly built a business that revolves around the health and wellbeing of others; this derives from her passion for nutrition and diet. She made all this happen while waiting tables in the evenings, and during the day, she went around various clinics in Melbourne to fill her time and win work. Carly wasn’t going to let anything get in her way; she took the plunge of turning her side hustle into her dream and hasn’t looked back.Follow the Side Hustle Podcast on Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook.
