Description

Do you find it hard to explain your business in 25 words or less? Or feel like you’re constantly bumping up against an old guard in your industry who just aren't quite ready to recognise that the world’s changed?
Welcome business-builder, to another story of creating a business you love and all the crazy sh*t that happens when you do.
In the sharing of his business-building story Tom Maynard, Co-Founder of Amplify and I chat about:

Understanding the power of audience and influence, and trusting that where there’s an engaged community, money flows
The changed landscape of media
The challenge of scaling up and being responsible for people’s careers, while also being responsible for your own business growth
Making costly mistakes and the education it gives you
And why, when you’re ahead of the market, you just need to keep knocking on doors

We also spend some time talking about some of my own favourite topics;

Why brands and media businesses need to take a risk on content and not be afraid to get noticed
The recognition that creators are in fact media businesses, whether they have 1000 followers or millions
And why cultural shifts matter to all businesses

This chat is a reminder that you should always follow your instincts in business, and not be afraid to try something new.

This weekly podcast explores what it’s like to be starting your career over, with the people who’ve done it. In conversation, we tackle the messy middle of changing your life - how it feels to drop the identity of whatever came before and step into a brand new you – with, or without a plan.  Your host is Kim Kerton (hi!) the creator behind the handmade ceramics and plant-based recipes of Good Side of the Bed, a writer, marketer, yoga teacher, sea-changer, rev-head and pug mum. Before all that, Kim spent over a decade in the commercial media business. She decided to walk away, got unemployed and afraid, and here we are. This podcast is for the brave people who want to start over but are feeling the fear - maybe putting off starting because the end isn’t clear - and for those who find themselves right in the middle of the whirlwind. Whether by choice or by push, starting over is scary, Unemployed & Afraid is your tribe on the pathway through change.
