Nic Davidson // My seriously smart, silly, sport-loving, serial entrepreneur of a fiancé

Summary: So, it finally happened. We convinced Nic, my partner in life, business and golden retriever parenthood into coming onto the show. I know a few of you have been eagerly waiting to hear this one and I'm always surprised to hear when people say Nic's quiet or mysterious but then I remember he's actually quite shy (which to some of our closer friends is laughable as he's the OPPOSITE once you get to know him). When I think about how he probably comes across in my stories or in take 527 of a photo together, you probably don't see much of who he really is or how we are as a couple so I'm excited to share what I think is one of the most inspiring ways to yay so far. One of the things I love about him most is that there are so many dimensions to his personality, but if you only know one of them then you'll meet a few of the others in today's episode! And perhaps I'm a bit the same - we're both equal parts nerdburger and arty farty" as I always say which is why we're 10 years in and getting married later this year! As for his bio which I've had to write many a time, it still astounds me all the things he's managed to squeeze into his 34 years. I don't think he gives himself enough credit for most parts of the story, so I've tried to weasel some of it out of him. Starting off as a country boy in outer Devonport, Tasmania, Nic's a serial entrepreneur and often laughs at how he's never actually had a real job. His first career was as an international athlete which took him all over the world and, as mentioned in Jana's episode, he was Jana Pittman's training partner on his own Olympic journey until ongoing injury stopped his career short. On returning to Melbourne, he was poached from his retail job into the night club scene where he really cut his business teeth building Baroq House into its glory days and let me queue jump which is the romantic story of how we met. While there was definitely a lot of partying, he and his team started to develop their own marketing and design skills to take things in-house, which eventually morphed into his current full service digital agency, the Bushy Creative. His self-teaching and inner dork has gone to such lengths that Nic's tech skills ventured even as far software development and he's had two full scale tech spin offs that he talks about in the episode. He's also got an aerial asset capture business taking photos out of helicopters and that's all before Matcha Maiden or Matcha Mylkbar were even a dot on the horizon. So sometimes, he's a very serious tech head businessman but most of the time he's a serial joker - life is NEVER boring when Nic's around. He's the sole reason I was able to leave law for my funtrepreneur life and turned this regimented, conservative lawyer into a crazy adventurer. His abs aren't bad either, as you've probably noticed. This was the hardest episode I've done so far as I'm way too close to be objective so hopefully I've done him justice!
