My guest today Angela Vithoulkas has a solid history as a small business advocate, commentator and advisor. Then Angela she decided to become a politician, elected as an independent Councillor for the City of Sydney in 2012, where she was subsequently appointed as Deputy Chairperson of the City of Sydney Economic Development and Business Sub-committee throughout that term.  

In 2016 Angela formed the Sydney Matters Independent team and successfully secured a second term on Council.   As well as her civic duties, she also established a small business podcasting platform, Eagle Waves Radio and co-owns a Sydney café.
