Description

If you’re a business owner (or aspiring business owner) I bet you have a head full of ideas for different business ventures.
So how do you know which is the right one to pursue, and which is best left in the desk research phase?
My guest today is the insanely inspiring Amy Parfett, Co-Founder of two awesome businesses Wedshed & Give With Gravy, and in the sharing of her story you’re about to hear things like:

The myriad of shelved ideas you go through in business to find the one/s you want to follow
Creating businesses that give true value to those who use and contribute to it
Falling into a tech business by accident
The challenge of growing two businesses
How to market your business when it takes a little longer than an elevator ride to explain
What actually happens when you write a book around the topic of your business offering
Learning to put yourself and your business out there confidently
And the timing challenge of when and who [and what role] to hire as you scale up

The inspo is firing thick and fast in this one listener and you’re going to love it – if you do, don’t forget to let me know with a review.

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.
