In this special episode of The Imposter Syndrome Club, we interview not one but TWO amazing guest ahead of both theirs and our involvement in the Finders Keepers Creative Business Summit this Friday - Lauren Baxter (Peppermint Magazine) and Fiona Killackey (My Daily Business Coach).
First up is Lauren, where we chat about privilege and sustainability, creating a safe space for conversations, balancing style and sustainability, the importance of nuance when discussing sustainable fashion, acknowledging that we don’t have all the answers, the righteous olympics, that systemic change takes time, how fashion should be fun, just being conscious in your consumption, The Devil Wears Prada & cerulean blue, what ‘purpose-lead’ looks like at a practical level, “Empower-tising”, walking the talk, doing the silent work, leading by example, the importance of transparency, the dream of working for a values-driven company, fedoras and tramp stamps.
In our second chat with Fiona, we discuss the difficulty of marketing your own business, the tension between passion, purpose and profit, equating self-worth or success with financial goals, the lie that creative industries don’t make money, unpicking the narratives you grew up with, values, beliefs and money, the Monday test, internal and external alignment, how to practically live your values, the power of time blocking, being your own kind of coach, the difference between your personal values and brand values, that you’re allowed to change your values over time, taking inspiration from others, and the privilege of running your own business, on your own terms.
