Unemployed & Afraid

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. 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.

Your host knows exactly how it feels to be a small-business owner, she is one.

Kim’s building a branded podcast consultancy firm (check it out at Good Side of the Bed) while also growing the Unemployed & Afraid podcast and brand.

On this podcast, Kim brings together business owners from all stages and scales to share the very personal journey of growth that is small business ownership, all to help others find the courage to get started and stick it out.

There’s a lot of successful people out there talking to other successful people about their success, that’s wonderful, but sometimes you need to feel genuinely seen and heard alongside the aspirational stuff.

She’s your business-building equal, creating a safe space for learning from each other so that nobody gets left behind - because this gig is tough.

The solution to procrastination in business? Getting messy.

Don’t you just wish you could flash forward and know that everything will work out with your business idea?

Self-doubt holds back so much potential in the early days, and our business builders in this episode know all about working through the pain. Caroline & Kelly, business partners in Solmates, share all of the things they wish they knew, how they’ve grown to establish a successful business in partnership and why it’s important to back yourself from the beginning.

You’ll also hear about:
How a desire for purpose kick started an adventure
Finding a partner for the elements you need to make a business thrive
The realities of designing and manufacturing a brand new product
Managing the planning of a business when there’s no competitors to benchmark against
The benefits of DIY when launching
And the random skills you develop as a business owner

If you want to learn from people who’ve gone before, but who are still in the thick of it, and feel some solidarity and support in your own business endeavours, you’re in the right place.

“If you don't know, you can learn,” Founders of Solmates Caroline & Kelly

If you’ve ever had nerves about showing up to a conference, a networking event, or any business event - this story is for you. 

In this episode your host Kim Kerton shares a personal experience of attending an industry conference, on the other side or the world, as a solo business operator - and the surprising outcome. 

Feeling nervous and pushing ourselves into spaces before we’re ready in business is all part of it. We will doubt our path, desperately want to hide away, and feel out of control a lot of the time - that’s exactly why this podcast exists. We’re a group of business owners learning from each other on a mission to start and stay in business, knowing that the experience is more universal than we think. 

Listen to the chat with Dr Marion Piper for her “getting in the room” story on this channel on Spotify or Apple

What does it mean to find your unique voice in business? And how does looking at your competitors get you further away?

Exploring the curiosities that call to you

Turning away from competition
When it’s time to stop consuming and start creating
And challenging yourself to think bigger
