Mark and I both work in advertising, Mark is a creative and I’m in client management. We met at work about 6 years ago. Mark was always such a sweet, happy, goofy guy we gravitated towards each other pretty easily and became fast friends.

Jacqueline: We are Jack and Jacqueline. We live in beautiful Sydney at Bondi Beach. Jack and I have been together for 10 years. When it all began, we were in the same circle of friends, so we knew of each other, however had never really spoken. We first officially met on a trip up to the Sunshine Coast for a mutual friend’s birthday.
Our paths crossed in 2013 at an Auckland pub. After a bit of banter, we parted ways. As I headed back to my group, I was in complete shock to see Eamonn chatting to my dad. Eamonn didn’t realise I was catching up with my dad and brother at the pub.

We met at a housewarming party for a mutual friend while Sam was visiting NYC from Montreal. He had been looking for a reason to move back to New York for a while, and our relationship proved to be a great reason!
We matched on Tinder in 2015. We spent an afternoon together and immediately felt at ease in each other’s company. Eddie is an electrician and a surfer. Amanda is a primary school teacher and mindfulness coach.

We met at work and were good friends for years before anything romantic eventuated. Michael still laughs that the first memory he has of me involves me yelling at him from the reception desk at work because we couldn’t agree on the air conditioning temperature; a common workplace dispute that highlighted to each other our individual stubborness from early days.
Joe and I have been together for 10 years. We’ve pretty much grown up together, from awkward dates watching 17 Again (we were just shy of 16) to being husband and wife. Joe is a photographer who shoots fashion, events and weddings. I’m a blogger and author. We love lazy Sundays on the sofa, seaside adventures in the UK (rain or shine), and our little furry daughter Maggie.

Kate teaches Design and Visual Communication at a local school and James is a Chartered Accountant for a Hawke's Bay practice. We moved to Hawke's Bay last year to be closer to Kate's family and to enjoy a better-quality lifestyle. We love spending our time away from work unwinding through exercise. We've run a half marathon together, play in the same social squash team and are known to get quite competitive during a friendly game of mini-golf.

When we first met, our first conversation was about purpose driven businesses and storytelling to create change, which pretty much sets the stage for how we desire to live life: intentionally and inclusively.
