Ryan Jon hosts new Influencers Podcast; 12-episode series launches today
An influencer’s unique ability to create a lifestyle business doing what they love is the inspiration behind the Influencers Podcast, launching on Monday 6 June.
Podcast host and executive producer Ryan Jon, with an Honours Degree in finance, is not your typical breakfast radio personality. After working in the corporate world, the HIT 104.7 Canberra presenter happily hung up his suit and tie, swapping a calculator for a microphone, but he hasn’t lost his inquisitive nature for dollars and cents.
Jon is fascinated and admittedly jealous by the rising underworld of social influencers.
Says Jon: “Everyone I’ve spoken to in this series is doing exactly what they want. It’s been fascinating to hear how people have turned hobbies and passion projects into full-time careers. It’s really impressive.”
In this new 12-episode series Jon chats to Australian influencers making a living online including Adam Ferrier (left) chief strategy officer and partner at Cummins&Partners as well as Pia Muehlenbeck, Steph Claire Smith, Jules Lund, Sketch She, Hayden Quinn, StyleRunner and even those who own some of the internet’s most recognisable pets.
It’s a goldmine of insights and answers from the insta-famous, almost-famous, and the brands who want to collaborate with them.
• Jules Lund talks about his move from TV and radio star to founding a tech company. He talks about where he found his passion for digital and reveals his next (surprising) passion.
• In 12 months Pia Muehlenbeck went from being a full-time lawyer without Instagram to having 1 million followers and a thriving activewear business.
• Nic Kelly is more than just a music fan! He’s now changing and influencing an industry – and he’s only 20. He talks about his new landmark deal with major record label EMI.
• Lauren Bath is a travel photographer and Australia’s first full-time Instagrammer.
The first four episodes of the Influencers Podcast will be available here on Inside Social from Monday 6 June and podcast platforms including iTunes and the Omny App.
Jaden Social is a social-first digital shop collaborating with music, media entertainment and lifestyle brands.
TRIBE is a marketplace where brands can easily invite and brief Influencers to activate powerful 1:1 campaigns.

? Why is this here? Sounds like some washed up radio host is trying to get in the good books by doing a puff piece about Jules Lung and his mates for their start up. This is one of the worst things I’ve seen loosely relating to our industry (though I do love Adam Ferrier) and I hope Ryan Jon goes back to the highly coveted Canberra graveyard shift he crawled out from.
