Description

When I learnt about today’s guests, the mother and daughter duo behind Bixby & Co, it came with a little story - see Annie, the daughter in the duo, had been listening to this very podcast while considering her next step. She was listening to the stories of business builders and simply thought “why aren’t I doing that?”
And now here we are, hearing about her incredible business. Which has achieved so much in such a short time just by getting started. So if you have a desire to start your own thing or a motivation to grow your current business to whatever level you want – you’re in the right place.  
In the sharing of their beautiful jewellery business, Bixby & Co, you’ll hear about:

Tapping into the energy that eggs you on in business so you can keep pushing forward
Allowing yourself to make some mistakes in order to get started
The importance of in-person customer feedback
Just why brand-awareness is so very important
What failing fast looks like in practice
Teaching yourself the skills you need to get started and refining as you grow
And of the little moments of magic that add up over time

These two and their gorgeous jewellery are a lot of fun, you’re going to love this 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.
