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.

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

Get in touch at unemployedandafraid.com.au to be part of the show or to become a sponsor (we would love the support!).
