What is Cameo and how is it expanding in Australia?

Cameo is described by Marina, head of Cameo Australia, as a 'digital autograph' app where fans can request paid video shoutouts from celebrities, athletes and influencers. Started in Chicago about two years prior, it grew from 8 employees to around 120, secured a $50 million investment, and opened an Australian office with offices also in Chicago, LA and the UK.

What's the tipping etiquette difference between Australia and the US discussed in this episode?

Tommy suggests that in Australia, tipping should be reserved for when you're wealthy enough to afford an expensive restaurant, since hospitality staff typically earn $17–$25 an hour; in the US, per Marina, tipping is standard practice across restaurants, hotels and other services because base wages for tipped workers are much lower.
