A deep dive into Hey Lemonade with Elise McCann

In this episode, Jacinta and Lachlan interview Elise McCann, co-founder of Hey Lemonade. We ask Elise all the nosey questions we had about Hey Lemonade as an idea and an app - where the idea came from, how Elise and Lucy got it up and running and if they use their own pep talks when things get a little hard. We dig into the CSIRO's report and findings of the efficacy of the app and why it was so important to both Lucy and Elise to have writers and speakers from different walks of life involved in the app.
