Ryan & Becca dig into a listener's question about what to do when your big, higher-priced pieces stop selling—and you don't want to pivot into teaching. We talk honestly about adapting to shifts in the buying market while staying true to your creative voice, making smaller or different work without feeling like you're selling out, and share real strategies for makers who want to keep making and selling what they love, even when the market changes.Maker of the MomentAshley Gaylord - @ashley.g.potteryBrad & Jess - @elmstonestudioListeners QuestionsOn this episode:I've made a flan dish with grogged cone 6 clay plus glazed it at cone 6 and have done tests cooking vegetable quiche and have had no cracks. I would love to know more about cookware as I have just made a small frying pan, but I don't think I can glaze that with the expansion rates of the clay and glaze? I'm in the UK and my pottery supplier really can't help. Have you both had any experience with making your own cookware? As I'm finding it very exciting to have dishes and pans that I can use in my own home. Many thanks Melanie @handthrownpotteryResource: https://ceramicmaterialsworkshop.com/podcastepisode/episode-86-how-do-you-make-ceramic-bakeware/The past year I've seen a sharp, and I mean SHARP drop off in sales of my big pieces (I used to sell at least 3-5 big, sculptural vases per market and now it's zero) I've had to pivot to making more small, cheaper things. Might be a good topic for the podcast, how we adapt to changes in the buying market. The first thing people always suggest is alternate income streams (ie teaching etc), but I'd love to hear more of what people like me are doing, who have no interest in teaching, to be able to keep making and selling their work. @revisioniststudioSponsorsL&L Kilns - The durable kiln that potters trust to fire evenly & consistently.

Are you tired of constantly playing catch-up in a fast-changing market? This BOLD Business Podcast Panel discusses how to unlock your team's potential by fostering a creative and proactive business environment.   Discover how empowering your team to think proactively and solve problems creatively can reveal hidden growth opportunities and turn uncertainty into a competitive advantage.   Your host, Jess Dewell, leads a discussion on how maintaining curiosity, receptiveness, and an openness to new ideas — regardless of experience level — can help organisations stay competitive.   Join Jess and her guests, Brad Englert, Founder of Brad Englert Advisory; Grace Gavin, Co-Founder of Know Honesty; and Dr. Yaniv Zaid, CEO and Consultant at Dr. Persuasion, as they explore three key topics:   Perfection is the Enemy of Progress: Quit waiting for people to speak up with bold, creative ideas — the hard truth: your company culture might be scaring creativity into silence. Learn how to flip the script and empower every voice, not just the loudest.   From Command-and-Control to Trust-and-Inspire: Your leadership style can determine whether your business stays relevant or gets left behind. Hear real stories from leaders who broke out of the old-school, top-down mold — and what happened to the ones who couldn't.   Failure is the New Secret Weapon: What if you ran a “Failure Lab” at your company? Discover why sharing stories of screw-ups — not just wins — could be the untapped source of innovation and resilience your business needs right now.   —-----------------   If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the “Growth Framework Reset” approach. This will help you to keep learning and growing while working strategically on your business. -------------------- You can get in touch with Jess Dewell on Twitter,  LinkedIn or Red Direction website.

"I'm not a real business owner yet." "I'm just starting out." "I don't have enough experience." I hear these types of phrases constantly from creative entrepreneurs - even ones who've been successfully running businesses for years. This single limiting belief is costing you money, opportunities, and confidence, but the good news is it's completely fixable. As we reach our 100th podcast episode, here's the mindset shift that changes everything about how you see yourself and your creative business. This belief shows up in how you price your services, communicate your value, and the growth opportunities you don't pursue because you assume you're not ready. If you've ever downplayed your expertise or waited for permission to call yourself a legitimate business owner, this episode will help you step fully into your professional identity and unlock the sustainable business growth you've been working towards.   Key Moments: [02:29] Celebrating 100 episodes and the collaborative nature of this podcast [04:47] The one belief sabotaging creative businesses more than anything else [06:01] How this self-doubt manifests - even in successful creative entrepreneurs [09:03] The uncomfortable but powerful exercise to shift this belief [11:36] The truth about becoming "legitimate" as a business owner   Notable Quotes: "The creative entrepreneurs who thrive aren't necessarily the most experienced or the most qualified. They're the ones who recognise their own value and own it confidently." "There's no magic moment when you suddenly become 'legitimate.' There's no external validation that makes you a 'real' business owner. It's a decision you make about how you see yourself and your work."   Resources Mentioned: Read: This Week's  Full Journal Post Link: The Base Notes Waitlist Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com   Share Your Insights: I'd love to hear how this resonates with you!
