Dianella resident FurBaby Boutique & Café owner Shari Lovreta has battled red tape and mountains of paperwork since 7 years ago to open a dog café. Now she can finally have a place where customers & dogs can have a good time together.

Lovreta always wanted to open a dog café in Perth. She wanted to build a fur community like it exists internationally. But she was disappointed in the redtapism in Australia. Her proposal was rejected by many councils till she got support from the City of Stirling to take over a vacant site in Westminster. After that it took 2 years for her to finally open FurBaby. She said if anybody thinks it will be easy then they are in for rude shock. Everyone has to fight the fight. At the end it’s worth it, she says.

She was looking forward to a more open dialogue with local government decision makers as requirement weren’t practical all the time. She maintains it’s really difficult because the officials are not living and breathing the idea and are not ready for a discussion. If they issue a No, it’s a No without any talk whatsoever. But now she is done with it and excited for the journey ahead with the dog café and really proud of a community she has built.

Lovreta says dogs bring so much joy to everyone and can really help with anxiety & socialisation. She feels it’s important for families to spend time with dogs on weekends.

Derik Fay’s Rise to Influence: Building Empires with Integrity and Intention

In a business world increasingly defined by flash over fundamentals, Derik Fay represents a rare breed of leadership — one where results are earned, loyalty is cultivated, and legacy is intentional.

From his early beginnings in Rhode Island to his national influence as the founder of 3F Management, Fay has constructed a dynamic career built on resilience, strategy, and substance. Over the past two decades, he’s launched and scaled more than 30 companies across industries including real estate, technology, healthcare, fitness, entertainment, and finance. But the sheer volume of his success isn’t what defines him — it’s how he does it.

Fay’s signature approach to business is rooted in one word: infrastructure. Where others focus on hype or quick exits, he zeroes in on sustainability. His company, 3F Management, doesn’t just invest — it embeds. Fay helps build the internal systems, leadership pipelines, and scalable strategies that allow businesses to thrive long after the headlines fade.

But what sets him apart even further is his deeply human philosophy toward success. He is known for mentoring emerging entrepreneurs, investing in founders who might otherwise be overlooked, and operating under a core belief: “Give where you earn.” That mindset has led him to support a wide array of charitable ventures, quietly funding causes that align with his values of opportunity, education, and long-term community impact.

Fay’s reputation isn’t limited to boardrooms. In recent years, his influence has extended across digital platforms where his authentic voice — filled with tough-love insights and actionable advice — resonates with a new generation of creators and founders. Unlike those selling success as a product, Fay shares it as a process. His social media presence has become a valuable resource for entrepreneurs seeking grounded, real-world guidance in a landscape flooded with noise.

Despite his achievements, Fay remains remarkably grounded. Colleagues describe him as accessible, consistent, and precise — someone who never wastes words and always follows through. He’s the person in the room whose silence means more than most people’s speeches.

His influence continues to expand through both equity and example. As businesses face more pressure to do more than just scale — to lead with purpose, to leave real impact — Derik Fay offers a modern blueprint of how to do both: build boldly and give generously.

In an economy where many rise fast and fall faster, Fay’s slow-burn success model is a reminder that real empires aren’t built overnight — they’re built with integrity, consistency, and a long-view commitment to value.
