Why Awards Matter More Than You Think | The Story Behind Logan City Trophy Centre

What if your business wasn’t just about profit…

But about preserving moments that matter?

 

In this episode of The Corporate Escapists TV Show & Podcast, Christine Innes sits down with Matt Tie and Roz Menezies, the heart behind Logan City Trophy Centre in Queensland — a business dedicated to celebrating achievements, honouring milestones, and creating pieces that become part of people’s stories for years to come.
Matt shares his journey from technical and operational roles into business ownership, taking the leap into a family-run business with the support of his wife Roz — who encouraged him to step into something more meaningful.

 

But this conversation goes deeper than business…

 

It’s about partnership, community, and the quiet power of recognition.

 

✨ Inside this episode, we cover:

  • The journey from employee to business owner
  • What it really takes to step into a family business
  • The emotional side of creating awards, trophies & memorial pieces
  • Why recognition matters more than we realise
  • Balancing marriage and business (and making it work)
  • Learning new systems like Xero while running a business
  • Building a community-focused business, not just a profitable one
  • The importance of integrity, honesty, and human connection
  • Why starting small is often the smartest strategy
 

 

From cricket club trophies to deeply meaningful funeral badges, Matt and Roz share how their work goes far beyond products — it becomes part of family history, legacy, and moments that last a lifetime.


Because sometimes…
What you create isn’t just for today.

About your host, Christine

Transition and Lifestyle Coach, Host of The Corporate Escapists TV Show & Podcast, Speaker & Educator. In a past life, I was a corporate queen, earning the big bucks & working my way up that ladder. From the outside, I had it all, but I felt completely dead inside. It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom that I really discovered what was missing from my life. I realised I had no idea who I was.

What lit me up. What was setting my soul on fire? What was my passion in life? But after years of doing the inner work, I have rebuilt my life and now I want to help you do the same.
