EPISODE 18 - JO STEVENS

Jo Stevens is living proof that if you put enough amazing women in a room, add coffee, cake and a splash of chaos, magic happens.

Founder of Quirky Habits, the heart and soul behind the ever-growing Common Grounds community, and enthusiastic co-conspirator of Ladies Who Long Lunch, Jo has somehow built a movement by convincing women that networking should involve genuine conversations, belly laughs and the occasional cheeky glass of bubbles.

What started as a simple idea to bring people together has snowballed into a thriving community with Common Grounds meet-ups popping up across Australia. Her following continues to grow because people aren’t just looking for another networking event—they’re looking for what Jo creates: belonging.

She’s responsible for introducing more people than a dating app, remembers everyone’s name (and usually their dog’s), and has an uncanny ability to spot the one person standing alone and have them laughing with a new group five minutes later.

Jo encourages women to take up space, back themselves and always order dessert.

And then there’s her most iconic quirky habit…

If you’ve ever been to Ladies Who Long Lunch, you’ll know the fun doesn’t officially begin until Jo grabs the microphone and performs her hilariously reimagined version of a popular song. It doesn’t matter if you can sing or not—before long, the whole room is laughing, clapping, joining in and wondering how they got swept up in the madness. Somehow, it’s become part of the tradition… and everyone secretly looks forward to it.

Her superpower? Turning strangers into supporters, supporters into collaborators, and collaborators into lifelong friends.

Her kryptonite? Running out of coffee, people who say, “I’m not really into networking,” and anyone who thinks lunch meetings should only last 45 minutes.

With her community growing across the country and more women discovering Common Grounds every week, Jo is quietly proving that connection isn’t just good for business—it’s good for the soul.

Warning: Spending too much time with Jo Stevens may result in an overflowing contact list, spontaneous singalongs, a calendar full of networking events, unexpected confidence, and an irresistible urge to ask, “When’s the next Common Grounds?”
