Welcome to the very first podcast and indeed series of Totally Publishing. I thought I'd start with a gentleman, Rennie Griffiths, I've known for thirty years, who was 71 when he published his first book - The Wee Jimmy Stories Volume 1. In this podcast, Rennie, a proper coffin dodger story, tells how he bounced back from the brink of death to write and self-publish his first book. During Lockdown, I taught Rennie how to publish his first book over Zoom and within a month, he'd followed Volume 1 up with three more books! What an inspiration - I hope you agree. Thea Newcomb Founder/Trainer/Publisher @ totallycontent.co.uk Find Rennie's Wee Jimmy Stories Vol 1 on Amazon US and on Amazon UK here, Follow him on Twitter or on Linkedin (not that he uses either too much).

Hey there, it's Thea here, please bear with me as I get to grips with editing podcasts. Firstly a warm welcome to my first ever Thea's One Thing Podcast - which is the audio version of my brand new newsletter by the same name. Each week I share one tip, tool or tutorial about business, creativity and productivity. Today's first episode is a tutorial that was created by Diana Munoz from Columbia on her Learn to Design in Canva channel - which she runs with her husband Ronnie. Both are fellow Canva Experts. In this tutorial which I will link to, she shows how you can use Canva's Draw App to make gradients. Essentially though you'll find the Draw App under the More with the three dots, inside your Canva editor. Choose one of the first two pen options and set the size quite large. Pick your first colour and squiggle your pen across your canvas, however you like, and repeat this process for as many colours as you have in your branding palette. Once you're done, hit DONE at the top left and then it will appear as an image. Click edit image at the top left, and scroll down to ADJUST and hit “See all” to the right of it, and scroll down to BLUR and then blur your image until your gradient looks how you want it to. Once you're happy with your lovely bespoke gradient, download it, and then reupload it back into a your Canva. I've created a folder called homemade gradients where I've stuck all of mine. Then you can use them as backgrounds to your posts and graphics. As I am always hoping to pass on share worthy content in the form of tips, tools and tutorials, this felt like the perfect one to launch with. If you're new to Canva and didn't follow what I just walked you through then for sure check out Diana's tutorial. That's a wrap on the first Thea's One Thing podcast.
