The Climb with Cherie Clonan
The Climb is a podcast for people building something meaningful and finding their way through the ups, setbacks, and in-between moments that come with it.
Hosted by Cherie, founder of The Digital Picnic (a digital marketing agency based in Melbourne/Naarm), the show explores the realities of growth through marketing, leadership, and neurodivergence.
As a proud Autistic woman and agency founder of more than 11 years, Cherie brings both lived experience and strategic thinking to the conversation. Episodes blend practical frameworks, industry insight, and personal stories... including leadership lessons and moments rarely shared publicly.
The podcast creates space for honest discussion around modern marketing that works, neurodivergent leadership... and leadership in all its complexity, from decision-making and team culture, to resilience and long-term growth.
The Climb is named for the shared journey it represents. Whether you’re growing a business, leading others, or navigating your own next chapter, the climb looks different for everyone.

Welcome to The Climb, a podcast about the messy, brilliant, relentless journey of building something meaningful.
For more than a decade at The Digital Picnic, Cherie has had the privilege of shaping other people’s climbs... helping brands, teams, and leaders grow in ways that actually last.
Now, after close to x2 decades working in marketing and leadership, she's turning the mic around to focus on the thing she's most obsessed with: real, honest stories about climb.
This podcast is where we talk honestly about the three things Cherie lives and breathes: marketing education, founderhood, and neurodivergent leadership.
As an introvert who believes in adding value, not noise, every 40-minute conversation is built to respect your time and actually teach you something useful.
