The potential of what we can create when we just get moving is a factor of business building that never ceases to amaze with just the sheer possibilities of it all - this business story is exactly that.
It's just what you need to feel more confident in taking a risk to start and keep backing yourself into whatever comes next.
My guests today are onto their second business together in Podcasting, an industry that holds far more potential than meets the eye, and this one began from a somewhat simple email to Steven Bartlett.
Christiana Brenton and Georgie Holt, Co-Founders of Flight Studio share with us:
The personal and professional impact of duos Why the story of you matters The most important skill in founding a company Why to tell everyone what you’re doing A perspective on the pressure of opportunity The transformative gift of allowing yourself to try The practical application of failure And what can only be described as a masterclass in leadership thinkingIf you listened to this short solo episode you’ll know this conversation nearly didn’t see the light of day thanks to your host accidentally mucking up her own audio settings – but rather than shy away from it she owned it, learnt some new skills along the way, discovered the extraordinary generosity of business friends and trusted that although the audio isn’t quite as perfect as you would normally hear, you’ll forgive, because the content is just that great.
If you want to build an industry defining business and be the kind of leader that truly supports others to grow – you’re going to love this.

I’m sure you’ve had it - that moment where something that you’ve done in your business that’s so important to you, goes wrong, and your heart just sinks.
It doesn’t matter how long we’ve been working on our business and what we’re passionate about, or how well we know the thing we’re working on, it’s unavoidable that occasionally, something f’s up - here’s one of mine for you.
Your host, Kim Kerton, shares with you in this episode a heart sinking moment that happened with this podcast - which is one half of her business endeavours (the other is her Podcast Consultancy for Brands who want to make podcast shows or networks) - which very well could have resulted in global podcast industry embarrassment.
If you’d like a little insight into the journey of creating this show for you and some practical positivity around the experience of building a business, this episode is for you.

Sitting at the front means leaning into what you want for yourself - no matter what it looks like to anybody else.
If you’re looking for an energy shift, considering a change in your business or your life, and need to shift into that “sit at the front” energy, this short episode is for you.
Your host Kim Kerton found something you have to hear about, it’s the kind of advice we need when the desire to shrink back and stick with what we know creeps in.
It’s not always easy to find the right kind of encouragement when our brains and emotions are running the show - and so you have to hear this.

Ever been really excited about taking a break, only to end up feeling guilty about not working on your business, and guilty for feeling guilty about not being present enough?
The endless internal conflict of shifting between life and business plagues us in the early stages of building our own thing, and pops up again in the growth stages, so how can we learn to reframe this uncomfortable feeling?
In this episode your host Kim Kerton shares her own battle with being present with friends, family, and anything outside of working on her business, the weight of guilt when the fears of not growing kick in, and why it’s ok to feel that way.
If you struggle with really switching off from your business, this episode is for you.

When we become business owners there’s that inevitable moment when you realise you need to get yourself out there - to become the face of your brand, build your personal brand, promote your business etc.
There’s a lot of cultural "stuff", and a lot of inbuilt fear and bias, that will make us not want to put ourselves out there - but we’ve got to block it all out, metaphorically or literally, and crack on - you might be an employee without a personal brand, or a new business owner building both your company and your own profile, or have been in it for a while. It really is never too late or too early to start putting yourself out there, and particularly when the stakes aren't as high.
In this episode your host Kim Kerton shares her own experience of not actively building her brand while working a corporate role, and an eye opening exchange with someone who “shudders” at self-promotion.
If you need a little support and perspective to become who you want to be, to build a brand now or in the future, this episode is for you.

The path to business success is, and should, be different for each of us. If there was an exact path to follow, well, we’d all be doing it.

Phil Wolfee, Director of Kinex Health, knows exactly what this journey is like, and he shares with us today the many personal and professional experiences he’s collected on the way, including:
When career burnout leads to business creation The cost of not prioritising marketing An honest look at the financial strain of building a business The emotion of change that business brings you And the role caring for ourselves physically plays in our entrepreneurial successYou’re getting this episode in two parts today, as Phil and I really get stuck into some topics that you’re gonna love, so make sure to head over to Part 2 when you’re ready.
