The Business of Reinvention: Why Experimenting is a Superpower
8/5/2025
What if the riskiest move isn’t going all in, but walking away when something no longer fits?
This is a very special episode I’m sharing with you today, it’s a conversation I recorded with the wonderful Andrea Marquez from the This Is Small Business Podcast
I didn’t originally leave my media career with a clear plan. I left because I knew something wasn’t right at the time. What followed was a search for a business idea that took me through yoga, ceramics, and creative experiments in remote Tasmania, all of which eventually led to my podcast and business, Unemployed and Afraid.
Host Andrea Marquez unpacks how I redefined risk not as betting it all on one big idea, but as giving myself permission to experiment, try, pivot and start again. You’ll hear how I used creative detours to find clarity, why walking away can be the smartest move and how I turned vulnerability into my growth strategy. If you’re stuck waiting for the perfect idea, this episode will show you how experimentation can be a powerful and intentional part of building something meaningful.
The This Is Small Business podcast, where this episode is originally from, is doing wonderful things for small business builders all over the world - consider this a hard recommendation to, when you’ve finished listening to it, follow This Is Small Business wherever you’re listening via this link below.

“As Soon As You Start A Business, You Think About It All The Time,” Founder of Nosy HQ Kathryn McGarvey
1/27/2025
The word “journey” might get a bit overused when speaking about business, but there truly is no better word for it.
A business idea is one tiny part of the story.
Besides the fact that the business idea itself will likely take many different forms along the way, and that you’re never ever done when tackling something like building a business for yourself, you evolve so much as a person along the way. If that isn’t a hell of a journey, I don’t know what is.
Kathryn McGarvey knows all about this particular expedition, she’s in the business of audience insights today, and it’s one of a few businesses she’s learnt, grown, languished and flourished within – as I’m sure you can relate to.

Avoiding The Purpose Trap
1/15/2025
There’s a lot of traps we work hard to avoid as business owners, but there’s a sneaky one we often miss.
It’s the purpose trap - the endless narratives that tell us if we find our purpose and passionately love what we do, aligned to our values, we’ll never work a day in our life.
This episode unpacks the purpose trap and reframes it into something a little more supportive to your journey of creating and growing a business.

“A Lot of The Growth in My Business Happened When I Got Out of My Own Way,” Phoebe Netto, Founder of Pure Public Relations
1/13/2025
It can be the smallest of things that can make or break us, a compounding effect of the experiences where we don’t feel seen, heard, successful or confident – but when we realise all those experiences are totally normal, we are far more empowered to crack on with it.
Phoebe Netto is who you’re going to hear from today – she’s a PR professional – and she’s brilliantly honest about the sticky moments that sneak up on us and how to get through it.
In this episode you’ll hear about:
· The conversations around fear and motivation that we have with ourselves
· Starting small, and starting green
· Remembering the joy and privilege it is to serve a customer
· How to help people understand why you’re great at your craft
· The impact of self-PR
· Ignoring a lack of self-confidence so you can get out of your own way
· Regular content vs Passionate content
· Any why you have to make the first move to develop a like-minded entrepreneurial community

3 Things To Say When Asked “How’s Your Business Going?”
12/18/2024
You know the moment. You’re faced with well meaning friends and family members who casually ask “how’s that little business of yours going, kicking goals?” and you immediately either freeze up, or give the world's longest reply trying to convey that it’s not at all a little business and you’re working hard every single day on building it.
In this episode your host Kim Kerton shares three replies to this question that can take the sting out of the awkwardness and even bring you a little closer together with the people in your life who don’t have the first-hand experience (and therefore, shorthand) to connect with you.

“There's No Such Thing As A Mistake Unless You Repeat It,” Lisa Jones, Founder and CEO of SHE-com
12/9/2024
There’s a lot we have to work through when building a business but learning to battle down your ego – the one who wants you to stay small or don’t try – is one of the toughest.
If you’ve been building an e-commerce business it’s likely you’re already familiar with my guest today, but if it’s the first time you’re hearing from Lisa Jones Founder of SHE-com let me tell you – this conversation feels like a deeply nourishing business coaching session and quite frankly, a little kick in the bum.
You’re gonna hear about:
· Becoming an entrepreneur when you’re surrounded by employees
· Being careful who you let in
· How just thinking about building a business works to prepare you
· Learning to pivot on the edge of a toenail
· Letting go of the idea that your businesses will stay the same
· The shadow of money worries
· And building a business that exists outside of you
