Aug 29, 202300:36:39Tap to summarizeWhen Laura Wildish was a little girl, she had a dream: To have her own fashion brand and design clothes and accessories like no other before. Inspired by her resourceful and stylish mother, Laura grew up knowing she was different and didn't want to fit in - something she expressed with her clothes and style. A personal tragedy during lockdown jolted her into action, and since then she has been working on making her childhood dream a reality. Today, Laura's first luxury collection of elevated street wear and handmade colourful jewellery has made it into editorials, high-end magazines and onto runways. We chat with Laura about what it's like to start a business, the highs and lows of being a creative business owner and why it's so important to surround yourself with the right people.

Aug 15, 202300:17:05Tap to summarizeGoing above and beyond, doing a fab job and working hard is one thing. But, as a creative, especially when you're starting out or still working multiple jobs to support your career in the arts, it's too easy to fall into the trap of saying yes to everything, doing too much for free or too little payment, and letting people take advantage of you. While nearly every creative has done work for free, this doesn't mean that it's acceptable and a precedent for future success. In today's Podcast we talk about different scenarios and what you can do to set clear boundaries, stick to your fees and walk away from clients who don't respect you.

In today's episode we talk about procrastination, people-pleasing, perfectionism and the fear of being wrong, and how they can hinder your creative process. We share some of our own pitfalls and offer realistic and tried and tested solutions that you can apply straight away.

Jul 25, 202301:00:57Tap to summarizeBrace yourself, it's a long one, but totally worth listening to! I promise! Being an artist in the 21st century is tough. There's no lack of talent, but lack of acknowledgement that the arts really matter and that artists should be paid a living and fair wage. So how are us artists dealing with the constant battle of working multiple jobs whilst keeping our creative career running? In this episode, three creatives share their experiences in the creative industry, the struggles they face on a daily basis and what keeps them going when things get tough.
