A business podcast for the brave self-employed.

Growing your own business can be one of the most gratifying, wonderful, life-changing experiences around. It’s also scary as hell. This is a weekly podcast for the ones who have made the brave decision to employ themselves anyway.

We're for the full gamut of business experience - from Solopreneurs, Side-hustlers, Micro-business, Small Business, Medium business, Independent, VC backed, Bootstrapped and more - here for the real stories and priceless insights of it all, well beyond the PR headlines.

Join fellow business-builder Kim Kerton as she dives into the realities of starting something from scratch, helping you feel less alone in the lows and reminding you of the highs that make it all worthwhile. Hear real talk and raw feels from people right in the thick of it and feel seen as you listen.

Small business is tough - all business is tough - it will be one of the most intense things you'll ever do but it will also be the most impactful experience you can imagine. So surround yourself with a community of business owners willing to share with you their learnings, from those a few steps ahead, to many business milestones ahead, and even those just behind, and feel supported to build the business of your unique dreams. 

This is a podcast built to support you to build your own small business, to tackle the statistics and keep more of us in business for ourselves. To say thanks, you can support this independent podcast and small business by shouting your host a cuppa at buymeacoffee.com/unemployedpod

Unemployed & Afraid

“Everyone's afraid when they start, and no one knows what they're doing,” Bianca Lambert, Director of Capra Designs

Taking action on your business dreams is bound to bring up some self-doubt, but there is a way through it, and the role that hearing the perspective of others who actually get the feels is a big part of getting through it – that’s exactly what you’ll get in this episode.

Som Puri is an impressive keynote speaker and copywriter creating her own unique business embedded in stories, and in the sharing of Som’s story you’ll hear about:

·         Starting over in a new country

·         Starting over again from redundancy

·         Treating a freelance offering as a business from day one

·         Speaking on stages   

·         Shifting from paralysis and into action

·         Building a savings account of trust and reliability with yourself over time

·         The deadlines that push you forward

·         And the brutal creative process of building a keynote

“I Cannot Just Sit Here And Wait For The Business To Happen To Me,” Som Puri, Speaker and Copywriter. 

It’s in the hardest days, those spent working for no return, that an entrepreneur is built. This episode shines a light on the hardest bit of what you’re building - the bit when you’re getting no reward. 

In this episode your host, Kim Kerton, shares a perspective on this important phase of business building to help you through it, because this part sucks and you deserve to be celebrated for working through it. 

If you need a lift through the hard bits, this is for you. 

This podcast shows up every week to help you build your own business by bringing you the stories, insights and learnings of those of us in the thick of it and highlighting that crazy old intersection of entrepreneurship and personal growth - what we do is hard and we’re better and stronger together.

The Hardest Bit Is Seeing No Reward

There’s no doubting that the experience of building your own business changes you, but there are some businesses that really are built to change the world too. The business you’re about to hear Part 2 of the journey of is one of them.

Melissa Reader is building Violet, a company that is transforming the last stage of life by enabling us all to be a little better prepared for the experience of it.

This conversation is in two parts for you so you can hear it all, as it’s so powerful, in a time that suits you (‘cause I get it, you’re building a business and you’re busy!). They’re both available for you on the feed now so, there’s no waiting in-between.

In the second part of the conversation, you’ll hear about:  

·        The big shift away from service-based revenue

·        The process of finding product market fit

·        Reshaping a professional identity

·        Taking an active role in PR

·        Giving yourself permission to be an authority

·        And exploring the extremes of our emotions

Check out Violet at meetviolet.ai

Or on IG @violet.org.au
