Welcome to NepoPod, our artisanally curated network.
Join Michele Ong and Amelia Travers as they leverage the influence they have in their networks to platform the people they know. Each episode, they introduce you to someone in their circles to share what matters to them. Because our networks hold so much potential that is ripe for collaborative opportunities. All it takes is the right connection, and that connection might be you.
Michele and Amelia have spent years cultivating their respective networks, and they have come to the following conclusions: your network is your net worth, and; everyone has more potential than they realise.
Michele Ong (micheleong.com, IG: @itsmicheleong) is a founder, creative technologist, and podcaster who believes that innovation thrives in the liminal spaces where diversity of culture, experience, and disciplines intersect. She is an advocate for both women in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine) and the importance of the Arts and humanity in these fields. Her podcasts, including STEAM Powered, serve as platforms for amplifying individuals and underrepresented narratives, embodying her dedication to building a more innovative, equitable, and resilient future for generations to come.
Amelia Travers (avidresearch.com.au, IG: @amaltr42) is a storyteller, avid tinkerer, and an enthusiast for connection in the tech and science communities. As the founder of Avid Research and Traverse Maps, and co-host of NepoPod, she has carved out unique platforms that celebrate and elevate diverse Australian STEM careers, as well as personal and community projects including #SciCommSeptember. Her work is at the intersection of technology, art, and social engagement, where she uses podcasts and cartographic art to weave together narratives that highlight the interconnectedness of our journeys.
