50 founder’s letter
You’re all part of our team now and we look forward to walking the journey with you.” These were the words I wrote in issue one of Collective Hub – our launch edition. From the start, I wanted you – our community – to be as intimately involved in creating this movement as the incredibly talented employees who sat in our offices. At that point, I was so exhilarated to press ‘print’ on issue one that I certainly wasn’t imagining what issue 50 might look like. But (drum roll), here it is! Four and a half years, thousands of articles, five books, three playbooks, countless events to sell-out crowds and many millions of dollars in deals later, we’ve reached a goal that seemed unreachable. That, my friends, is a sign that…

collective journey
2012 The big idea is born! A new global platform where people can share stories that ignite their full potential. More than 100 meetings later, the marketing manager of a bank says, ‘We’ll do it’. We move into our first (modest!) offices in Sydney. Tears of joy when our first ads are sold for our first issue. We sign with a major distributor (newsagents, here we come!). Social media handles secured and kick-started (#RenegadeCollective). 2013 A big win when we secure ranging in Woolworths Australia-wide. A big day shooting Lorna Jane Clarkson – our first ever cover star. Issue one goes on sale (and we throw a rooftop party). Planning starts, straight away, for the year ahead (articles, events, partners). We hold our first reader workshop, in collaboration with retailer kikki.K. A deal with Virgin airways to place the mag in many Australian…
active mind
What does it take to create an entire niche within an industry? How do you deal with countless creative heartbreaks? How can you remain on purpose for more than three decades? As the namesake of her own brand, Lorna Jane Clarkson has spent 32 years rethinking the lycra look, and her path to success hasn’t been without its sacrifices. “So many of us fill our days with endless busyness, but often fail to stop and think about where we are going,” says Lorna. “We’re told to follow our dreams, but we get so caught up in our everyday routines and obligations our lives become stagnant.” In her new book, Love You, the entrepreneur and founder of more than 250 global stores – and Collective Hub’s first-ever cover star – shares the lessons,…
with ray tan, of ray ray desserts
THE PITCH “Ray Ray is a product of procrastination [from when] I was completing my master’s degree in accounting, and working in retail management. I’ve always enjoyed cooking and making desserts for my friends and family, so I set myself a challenge to bring a cake or dessert every time I was invited to a party. Exposure on Instagram has given me the opportunity to travel both locally and internationally, and connected me with other bakers and brands that I get to collaborate [with] and work with creatively.”…
