“First and foremost, we need to understand who we’re building it for. And we did. We did actually do a lot of user testing as we were building it and got feedback from the community”

What’s Community And Content Got To Do With Superannuation? – Branka Injac Misic​

So Crisp Podcast

Have you ever looked, critically, at the industry you’re in and thought “this whole shebang needs a massive, fat, juicy shake up”?

Most of us have.

In fact, most of us are in business because we’ve seen a gap, and we think do you know what? I reckon I could fill that gap, or do a better job, or just I see a small proportion of the clients and customers who use that particular thing and I don’t think they’re being served the way they could be.

So, we start something.

Usually, it’s a small something. Not small for us, but in the grand scheme of things, not like INDUSTRY SHAKING either.

Just our corner of the world… jiggling a bit.

Not Branka Injac Misic.

Branka set her sights on the Superannuation industry.

Can you imagine?

And then proceeded to launch something a little left of centre, something that had never really been done before.

Can you imagine that?

Something that had never really been done before, in a world where there are no original ideas, where everything’s been done before, in some fashion. And really, how quirky can superannuation get?

Well, this is a little bit of that story. And a little bit of just how different one idea can be.

The Crisp Takeaways

* Yum *

“When you are self employed community matters.”
 
“You should expect more from your super fund than to charge you fees and send a performance report once a year.”
 
“All you need to do is just start… a little by little becomes a lot after not long… your future self will thank you for it.”
