BITE BIG: Boss Women Leading Big is the unapologetic podcast for women who lead with guts and grit. Hosted by Amber Bonney, founder of The Edison Agency and feminist force field of brand strategy—it dives into the minds of powerhouse women across business, academia, and culture. From bestselling authors to top CMOs, Season 3 brings fierce conversations, sharp thinking, and raw truths about what it really takes to lead, fight, and thrive in a world that wasn’t built for women.

What does it take to build a legacy in brand leadership, one that isn’t measured just by titles or awards, but by purpose, passion, and impact? In Episode 13 of BITE BIG, Amber sits down with Mim Hayson, Executive General Manager of Brand and Customer Experience at Suncorp Group, to dig into exactly that.

Mim’s career is one that most would consider enviable. From GM at M&C Saatchi to holding one of the most influential brand roles in Australia, overseeing AAMI, GIO, and Shannons (to name a few), her resume is heavy with achievements. But what really stood out in our conversation wasn’t her accolades. It was her authenticity, self-awareness, and a mantra that reminds us what really matters: Life is short, so love what you do.
