About Our Guests:

The Bottle Kids - Colette, along with her children Romario, Valentina, Giovanni, and Isabella, share their inspiring journey of entrepreneurship and philanthropy. The family has gained recognition for their innovative approach to recycling through the Return and Earn scheme, which has been lauded by Keep Australia Beautiful, The Sunday Telegraph, and their local community. See them channel their inner Barefoot Investor as they explain what they did together to be able to save, spend and give!

Key Takeaways:

• Everyone, and we mean EVERYONE, can give back from the portion that they have.
• The pride in a parent’s heart, seeing their children succeed at any stage of life, is good for the soul of the parent (and the kids!).
• Raise your kids to be confident with money.
• Celebrate the small and big things in life.
