Hi! I’m Brook McCarthy.
I’m the creator of the Hustle & Heart program.
I’m a digital marketing trainer, business coach and writer, whose been self-employed for more than eight years now. I’ve been working in online communications and Public Relations for more than 11 years and have always worked in small businesses.
Within a few months of starting my digital marketing consultancy in early 2008, I had more work than I could handle. This was right at the start of social media marketing and my timing was excellent. I’ve had a breadth of experience helping businesses and organisations with digital marketing, from launching new brands, SEO, website design, content marketing strategy, and social media marketing. I wrote and executed the Twitter strategy for Jump on It, Australia’s first daily deals website, rolling out channels across Australia and New Zealand until Jump On It was bought by Living Social for a reputed $40 million.
I knew that the internet offered sole traders and small businesses – who didn’t have much money to spend on marketing – highly effective options at a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing. So in 2012, alongside my digital marketing work for a small number of clients, I began running intensive marketing courses across Australia, on how small business owners can use compelling communication, values-based authentic marketing, and cutting-edge digital strategy to grow their business, their way.
Nowadays, I still run small group courses around Australia, as well as one-to-one business coaching, and support a small number of clients with website design, branding and digital strategy. In the Hustle & Heart program, I take the best of what I’ve learnt and observed over the last 11 years, and distilled this into a practical, values-based program on doing business, with hustle and heart.

What past participants say …
The Hustle & Heart course exceeded any expectations! I used to cringe at the idea of marketing which I believed compromised my integrity. I felt that integrity and marketing were mutually exclusive. But the reality is that I needed to get my business out there and I needed help from someone who understood my market and my mindset. This program changed my whole outlook and gave me the tools to get in the game. Through doing the program, I was able to realise that I could indeed keep my integrity and do some serious hustling. Hustle & Heart took me to some unexpected places within myself and I was able to clear out some useless junk that was holding me back from my business potential. Brook’s enthusiasm creates a wonderful buzz and an energy of doing! She’s supportive, generous and keeps it real. It was great to be able to connect with Brook and the other ‘Hustlers’ online and to be able to share how we were going on our marketing journeys. Brook’s personal, real-life examples of methods in action inspired me to get over my fears and take action on things I’d been putting off. Do yourself a favour and get on it!
Natalie WindsorBrook is completely committed to her students. Her approach is genuine and always straight to the point, enabling me to find solutions that are simple and systematic. The wealth of information Brook shared is humungous and relevant to today’s values-based business approach. The content shared during the program will keep me learning and applying throughout the next year. Thank you!
Donna ZaffinoHustle and Heart is a ‘real’ coaching program with plenty of community support. I’ve been in other coaching-type groups when there has been virtually no interaction with the facilitator or other members. I loved the interaction with Brook. She is excellent at touching base each day and keeping the group on-track and motivated!
Since the program, I have more clarity for my clients in setting expectations for doing business with me, new ideas, inspiration and motivation, and a far greater understanding of marketing/communications and how to build my professional reputation. In fact, I’m in the process of rebranding, renaming and repositioning my business to work better and attract the perfect clients who are made for me.
Gina GeorgeBrook, once again you’ve opened up the process of reflection and direction setting for me. I have some great resources to refer to and definitely feel that I have a clearer direction on where to take my business over the coming years so that I offer products which are of real value to people.
I have a plan and goals I’m excited by and far more clarity in what I’m doing. Having an online community of support is really useful and I look forward to spending more time here in the years to come.
Leonie LockwoodThis course is for you if you’re serious about growing your business and moving into doing your best work. Brook is direct, knowledgeable, passionate, enthusiastic and very generous. The course content is brilliant, delivered in very user-friendly formats. Brook, I cannot thank you enough for this course. Best online course I’ve ever done. And the learning and implementing has only just begun. I highly recommend Hustle & Heart!
Bettina PfannkuchThis program reminded me that all the tools and opportunities are here within me as well as ‘out there’, to kick ass at growing my business filled with passion and serious hustle. You don’t have to trade one for the other like we are constantly told! I feel excited and positive about my business now. When sharing and hearing others’ stories and facing my fears head-on, I’ve made a plan of how to work through them and they’ve lost their power (thank god!).
A couple of months later, I put my prices up, which everyone embraced. I sold out my new course that I charged at premium and and have attracted pretty much all new people beyond my small community. I’ve made more profit from changes made that were inspired by the program. I feel fabulous about it all. Your work has enabled me to move forward with clarity and confidence. Thanks so much for putting this out into the world!
