Description

Small business is so personal, such an expression of you, even if you didn’t intend to design it that way.
I believe that comes about when you truly lose yourself to the undoing and learning process that is being in business for yourself, just like today’s wonderful guest, Eugenie Hows, who is the Owner of Plant Vibes Café and Co-Owner of KYN Official vegan handbags.
In the sharing of her story, you’ll hear us chat about:

When intuition kicks in and changes your professional course completely
Exactly what it’s like doing a 180 from the career you’ve studied for and worked in to undertake a business you have no experience in
Jumping in without a plan and surviving (thriving) to tell the story
Accidentally upsetting people with your marketing
The experience of hiring and managing people within an industry you don’t have personal experience with
Bouncing back from hiring the wrong people
Why you should get unproductive sometimes
Entering into a new business partnership with someone you don’t know
And balancing two very different businesses to grow

She’s crazy inspiring in her approach and a lovely human, if you’re looking for some small business community, you’re in the right place.

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.
