Description

This business story is going to be deeply supportive to what I would argue is the most important aspect of working for yourself and building a business - the personal evolution you go through that really makes or breaks - learning to look at yourself in new ways and truly acknowledge all that you’re capable of that you may not have always thought you were.
Eric Mirbach is Co-Founder and CEO of Berlin based creative services agency Very Good Looking, and in the sharing of his business journey you’ll hear about:  

How lifestyle interests can steer you into new careers
Discovering how to create a business in your zone of genius through the creation [and closure] of other businesses
Finding a balance between providing value, positive influence, and achieving financial stability
Navigating business partnerships
Embracing the love of work in equal measure to that of a hobby
And some really interesting chat around an approach to exercise and meditation that truly allows you to give your mind a real rest.

If embracing your full self and all of your capability in business is on your bingo-card, this episode is for you.

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.
