Burnout is a topic I’ve been meaning to cover for some time on the Creative Introvert podcast, but I’ve been slightly cautious about it because I wanted to make sure I don’t in any way glamorise it. This is something I’ve seen hints of in the online business world, with the entrepreneurs, infopreneurs or whatever-preneurs […]
On today’s podcast I have two for the price of one! I have an amazing duo on, Dörte and Georgie of Curly Carrot (formerly Social Pow Wow.)

“One genuine relationship is worth a fistful of business cards.” ~ Susan Cain Today’s podcast is all about… Networking. Or, more accurately: connection. I share my thoughts on how to network if you’re an introvert, the four steps to genuine connection (online and offline methods included) as well as what to do with the connections […]
In this episode of the Creative Introvert podcast we have fellow Cat, fellow ginger and fellow INTJ: Cat Paterson. Business strategist extraordinaire, Cat has a super interesting background, which includes heading up intelligence analysis for a covert agency… and it makes total sense as to why she’s a personality profiling geek, like me.

Today I’m celebrating my 100th episode of the Creative Introvert Podcast! Technically, I’ve recorded many more shows – nearly 50 ‘Year of Fun’ minisodes, plus two 10 episode series, one on Self-Knowledge and one on the Enneagram. I know every podcaster who hits an arbitrary number with some 0’s on the end says this, but […]
Let’s imagine your industry’s biggest conference is coming up. Three days of back-to-back presentations, workshops and panels, with endless opportunities to network, pitch influential people and evenings spent keeping the party going… If you’re an introvert, this may sound about as appealing as a punch in the ribs. Unfortunately, conferences are generally not designed with […]

Connect with Nigel Mayamada Kickstarter POWERED BY PATREON This podcast is made possible only by means of my […]
Today’s podcast guest is someone I’ve wanted the chance to speak to even before I considered starting a podcast. Mark McGuinness of lateraction.com I think is best introduced through the words of another of my favourite authors and creativity mentors, Steven Pressfield.
