  • What's this episode about?
    In this playful episode of the Disobedient Business Podcast, we dive headfirst into the exhilarating world of solo entrepreneurship, specifically zooming in on service-based business ventures.

    We're all about shattering the mould, tossing 'business as usual' out the window, and embarking on a journey to build utterly unique and integrity-packed businesses. Together, we tackle the vital need to trust ourselves over any cookie-cutter advice and steering clear of the dreaded 'one-size-fits-all' approach.

    We're banding together to champion realistic and deeply personal success markers, keeping our financial safety nets (like our day jobs!) snugly under us to keep those entrepreneurial dreams afloat.

    Plus, we're on a quest to sift through the world of guidance and support, advocating for choices that vibe with our own values and aims. We challenge the ubiquitous 'just be yourself' mantra, opting instead for a more nuanced exploration of authenticity in business. It's all about finding and fiercely following our own paths, making informed, heartfelt decisions, and, of course, causing a bit of good-natured trouble along the way.

    So join us on this wild ride every Tuesday for more daring business insights and a healthy dose of disobedience!

  • In this cheeky little podcast episode of ours, we have a good old chinwag about the pearls of wisdom Siobhan Fisher dropped on us about of what sets apart building a gaggle of followers from nurturing a proper community for those plucky small businesses.

    We're having a chat about how a community is all about getting stuck in and having a proper back-and-forth, while an audience is more about sitting back and soaking it all in, using social media as an example. And blimey, do we get into a spirited debate about the need to create a cosy nook where all sorts of views can have a exchange ideas. We're also taking a trip down memory lane, sharing our own little love stories with brands – like Pippa's soft spot for Lucy & Yak.

  • In this podcast episode, Pippa talks with Kathleen Oh, an integration coach who works with individuals in integrating different parts of themselves, often through the use of psychedelic drugs and internal family systems (IFS). Kathleen talks about her journey and how she got into this field of work. She also discusses how her own personal experience of failure led her to question the mindset narrative that is often used in the coaching industry. Kathleen believes that the coaching industry tends to place too much emphasis on mindset without acknowledging the systemic factors that can impact an individual's success. She emphasises the need to question the rules and challenge the existing mindset narrative.

    About Kathleen
    Kathleen Oh (she/her) is a Coach, writer, and safe drug use advocate and educator specialising in psychedelic integration. She offers coaching services focusing on the continued care and well-being of clients from high-stress, high-performance careers as the center of their work. She practices trauma-informed and integrative, positive psychology, solution-focused coaching and Internal Family Systems Informed approaches informed by an anti-oppressive framework. Kathleen openly practices as a learner and student of cultic studies. She is continuing to decondition and recover from systems of cultic indoctrination. This combination of skills is uncommon in coaching communities.

  • This week Lucy flies solo (we know 😬 deep breath folks) and discusses some of the things that folks wished they knew when they started their podcasts. We asked our community for help with this one so a big thank you to everyone who contributed their stories and lessons they'd learned journeying into this weird and wonderful world.

    Lucy references a lot of things in this episode so be sure to check out Episode 34 and Episode 35 before diving in to this episode if you haven't already. They also mention Launching a Whole-Ass Podcast which you can get free here and is packed with some really handy information about...you guessed it, launching a podcast.

    On top of all that Lucy waxes lyrical about their deep love of Descript, the editing software we use to edit our own podcast. You can find out more about Descript and grab it here (full disclosure it is our affiliate link but if you've listened to any of our recent episodes you'll know how much we really flipping love it).

  • On this week's episode we talk hero content, content pyramids, AI, Indiana Jones, robot uprisings and raindrops - it wouldn't be a Disobedient Business Podcast episode without a few segues in there now would it?

    Furthering our conversation last week about alllllll the reasons why you might want to start a podcast, we look at how that podcast can help your content strategy and potentially make life a whole lot easier. You can see a handy graphic beautifully made by someone who is not us here.

    We then go one further and discuss how AI tools such as Chat GPT can make that content repurposing piece even easier!

  • In this episode Lucy and Pippa pontificate on podcasts; do you want one, "should" you want one, why might you want one?

    It nicely brings together in a warm and embracing hug a lot of the topics we've discussed recently including; being yourself to attract your 'ideal client', thought leadership, politics, having a voice and how you like to show up in your business and engage with your audience.

    Is starting a podcast on your 2023 vision board? Is podcasting something you've been curious about but terrified of? Well, hopefully this episode goes some way to helping you edge ever closer to making that move.

  • Pippa talks to Deanna Seymour about fixed grids, 9 grids, 12 grids, grid magazines... we're still not sure exactly what to call them.

    This year, we at The Disobedient Business® Co. finally got our fixed grid up and running as well as reorganising our Highlights on Instagram and we are loving it!

    WTF is a fixed grid? It's where you generally archive all your old IG grid posts and in their place put a gorgeous 3x3 or 3x4 grid that is a catchy and eye grabbing story about who you are, what you do and how you work with people.

    It's certainly not for everyone, artists might like to regularly post new works for example. But if your services stay pretty similar and you find creating for your content each week an absolute hassle then this could be 'the way'. (Yes, it might be a Mandalorian reference because yes, we are definitely on the Pedro Pascal side of TikTok 😬).

    It was an absolute treat to talk with Deanna and we hope you love the episode! Let us and Deanna know your thoughts by sneaking on in to the ol' DMs.

    About Deanna
    Digital Marketing Strategist and host of the podcast, Eff That: Breaking the Rules of Online Business, Deanna Seymour knows the power of creativity, fun, and lettin' your freak flag fly when it comes to marketing your business.
    Whether she’s hosting an online coworking sesh or helping a client get over their fear of being on camera, Deanna uses humor and empathy to build a community that helps people feel seen, heard, and ultimately more comfortable in their own skin so they can have more fun getting in front of their perfect-fit clients.
    When she’s not working with clients, she’s probably callin’ out sleazy marketing tactics, hangin’ with her fam, or sneaking in some crappy reality tv!
