You’re about to hit play on an absolute ripper of an episode here because my guest today is exactly the breath of fresh, confident, empowering air that we all need in business, and there is just so much to take away from the sharing of her story.

Alexandra Senter, CEO of Big Smoke Media Group shares a refreshing take on backing yourself and innately embodying the confidence of knowing where you’re meant to be, and finding the people, knowledge and growth opportunities to help you get there.

In this chat you’ll hear about:
Why understanding your financials and your role requirements as a company director really matters
Working through the business models that aren’t right and persisting towards what is
How entrepreneurial markers, like making a certain list, are not as aspirational as you might think.
The projection of success that others see vs what’s actually going on
Risk tolerance for business and business challenge
The benefit of formal advisors
The new challenges that come with scaling a tech business (and any business)
And the trust and dynamics required in a growing team

So much insight that I know you’re going to love.

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 and side-hustler 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
