EP49: How Beck Smith Created a Platform for Women in Business through Beam in Business
Buckle in girlies because I’m sitting down with Beck Smith — founder of Beam in Business, creator of the Beam Awards, media strategist, mother of five, and the woman behind one of Australia’s fastest-growing national platforms for women in business.
But this isn’t just a conversation about events and awards.
This is about identity. Leadership. Resilience.
And who you have to become to hold big rooms.
Beck started in network marketing. She didn’t see herself on stages — she saw other people there. But instead of shrinking, she created the stage. What began as a single event has grown into multi-day festivals, national awards, media platforms, and 200+ women in rooms across Australia.
And yet… behind the brand is a woman who has navigated financial pressure, betrayal, bullying, doubt, motherhood, and the messy middle of scaling something with no roadmap.
Inside this conversation:
✨ How network marketing became the unexpected doorway into leadership
✨ The pivot from “Babes, Bubbles & Business” to a national awards platform
✨ Hosting 100+ women at her first events — and now filling 200+ seat rooms across Australia
✨ The expensive business lessons no one talks about
✨ Navigating betrayal, legal stress, and financial strain while still leading
✨ Why mentorship and being in rooms matters (even as a leader)
✨ What she wants women to feel when they walk into a Beam room
✨ The evolution from bullied teenager to national founder
We also talk about authenticity — not performative authenticity, not curated content — but the real kind. The kind where you stop trying to “look the part” and start embodying it.
Beck shared something powerful:
She doesn’t want women to sit in rooms and feel like furniture.
She wants them to feel heard. Seen. Valued.
That’s the heartbeat of what she’s building .
