Welcome to the Showbiz Side Hustle Podcast! In this special Spotlight series episode, Nicole Louise Geddes sits down with Sammie Searle: performer, entrepreneur and the heart behind award-winning children's entertainment business Boogie Tots.

After building a successful career on stage and overseas, Sammie decided to create her own spotlight, founding a thriving business that helps performers craft flexible, fulfilling careers, especially around family life.

Today, we dive into Sammie's journey from being labelled "bossy" as a child to embracing her natural leadership as a franchisor and CEO. We’ll talk self-doubt, setbacks, and the art of trusting your instincts, as well as the transferable skills every performer possesses, often without realising it.

If you’re a performer facing a pivotal moment, a parent balancing ambition and family, or simply dreaming of building something meaningful, this is the episode for you. Get ready for honest stories, practical advice, and inspiring proof that sometimes the greatest spotlight is the one you build for yourself.
