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 […]
Today’s guest is someone I’ve known even before I knew I was an introvert. We met on the Princes Trust Enterprise Program, and since then it’s been a delight to see Nigel’s comic book world grow. 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. Here’s what Steven says about Mark: “Mark McGuinness is a rare cat - […]
Today’s podcast guest always knew she was an introvert but didn’t start living boldly, embracing her introversion until she read Quiet by Susan Cain. Ultimately, this book changed Natalie’s life, giving her a new sense of confidence and pride in her quiet nature. She founded Quietly Ambitious in 2015 and since then has been using […]
Oh boy was this a treat for me. And I reckon it’ll be a treat for you too because today’s guest can only be described as a Superhero in the world of feel-good marketing. Yeah. That’s a thing. And when you hear Tad Hargrave from Marketing for Hippies talk about finding your niche, building a […]
I was recently asked the question: what would I do differently in my business if I could go back in time five years? The answer is… I regret nothing! Er… but another, more useful answer, is… I would know more. I would know certain things like what to invest my time, money and patience in. […]
If you’ve been listening to this podcast a while, you might have heard a bit about my story - how I left my day job as a professional pixel pusher - I mean, web designer - to pursue my childhood dreams of becoming an illustrator and above all - be able to work from HOME. […]
Networking. A word almost as cringe-inducing as saying Volde-I mean, he who must not be named. Regardless of whether you’re an introvert OR an extrovert - I actually don’t know if anyone admits to enjoying networking. It’s kind of like exercise. We know it’s good for us but it doesn’t come without some pain - […]
If you google the words ‘self sabotage’ you will see there’s nearly two million results for this term. Two million? If that’s anything to go by, I’d say self sabotage is a pretty common human behaviour - even if it doesn’t always make sense on paper. When I first heard the term, I snorted: why […]
In 2013, my introvert dreams were answered. I had made the heady decision on New Years Day to book plane tickets to Japan, signalling my no-way-backing-out-now decision to leave my safety bubble that was my 9-5 job as a web designer in London.
