Description

How do you know when a business idea is worth pursuing?
Sometimes just choosing one and going for it, for as long as it feels right, comes with months (or years!) of turning it over again and again in your head – then again, sometimes we just go for it and figure the rest out later.
Our guest today is the fabulous Rachel Gerds, who together with her partner dove two feet in to an incredible new business and lifestyle, and in the sharing of her business story we chat about:

Basing your business idea on the lifestyle you want to have
Leaning into the rug being pulled out from under you
The real difference between an intense corporate career and building your own thing
Standing back to take a look at how far you’ve come
And the magic in business DIY

This little synopsis just scratches the surface, so I know you’ll love this small business-building story.

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.
