This podcast is here for you, showing 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.

Unemployed & Afraid

Getting In Sight and In Mind

It’s so easy to get caught up in the bigger picture of what we’re working towards in business. To struggle with finding the north star in the moment that keeps you focused, feeling valuable and like you’re building something. Especially when the environment around us feels noisy, unpredictable and a little scary.

What we can control is how we show up for ourselves, and those around us.

Ryan Kelly is Founder of Creative Natives and what you’ll get from this conversation is an insightful, generous and practical look into the inside of a flourishing business that, like we all are, is still figuring it all out.

You’ll hear about:

·         Getting started with whatever you’ve got right in front of you

·         Balancing brand and revenue building in the beginning

·         The power of just being valuable

·         A lesson in LinkedIn

·         Becoming a leader

·         And what to do when the market gets unpredictable

Ryan has a passion for dishing out value, even in the last seconds of our chat he leaves us with something really insightful to takeaway for our own worlds.

Going Back To Being An Employee Is Not A Business Failure 

It’s the most random of personal sacrifices we make to build brands and businesses that doesn’t get nearly enough light in business conversations.

In the dream of revenue growth, and often in the selling of the dream, it’s the true personal growth and sacrifice that gets pushed under the rug – but not on this podcast.

You simply cannot separate entrepreneurship and personal work - and this episode will fill your heart with joy at what growing a business can do for us as humans.

Nathan Soulsby, AKA The Dog Butler, shares his personal business building story here and in it you’ll hear about:

-         Moving through redundancy

-         Allowing your business idea to take you on a mental health care journey

-         The power of friendship

-         Re-introducing yourself to your network as an entirely new professional

-         The magic in starting small

-         Breaking up with the corporate wage

-         And prioritising long-term health over short term wealth
