Novelist and creative entrepreneur Kern Carter breaks down a practical creative blueprint for turning ideas into finished books and sustainable income—without chasing virality. We cover the path from self‑publishing to indie (Cormorant) and major houses (Scholastic, Penguin), how community-first marketing outperforms algorithms (Cry Magazine, a 5K+ Substack), and why emotion-led storytelling plus industry awareness wins. Kern explains how a middle‑grade novel aimed at young boys sparked word‑of‑mouth among teachers and helped move 15,000+ copies in a single year, and he shares direct advice: study your craft and study the industry.   About the Guest: Kern Carter is a novelist, essayist, and filmmaker. He's written for Penguin and Scholastic, sold 15,000+ books in a year, founded Cry Magazine, and writes the Substack Writers Are Superstars. A creative entrepreneur who became a father at 18, Kern builds platforms that elevate new voices.   Key Takeaways: At eight, Kern declared he'd be a novelist; publishing later felt “like magic” realized. He self‑published two novels, then vowed not to self‑publish again until traditionally published. Landing an agent took years; 2020 brought an indie deal (Cormorant), then offers from Scholastic and Penguin. He wrote two books in parallel; both released the same year, expanding reach and credibility. Sales crossed 15,000 largely via a Scholastic middle‑grade novel intentionally speaking to young boys. Teachers embraced the layered story and shared it; Scholastic's school distribution amplified exposure. Growth came from community, not algorithms: Cry Magazine, a Substack newsletter (5K+), direct emails. His process starts with emotion; characters' journeys ground even elements of magical realism. Writing is a necessary release, not a burden; burnout comes from life, not books. He builds platforms to open doors for other creators; storytelling deserves access, not gatekeeping. Core advice: study your craft deeply and study the industry with equal intensity. Creatives must make informed business choices—distribution, trends, costs—every creative decision is commercial. Community‑first marketing beat follower counts; real relationships outperformed vanity metrics. He invites writers to claim authority—every creative choice is both art and strategy.   Connect with the Guest  : Website : https://www.kerncarter.com/ Substack: Writers Are Superstars  Discover his books: search “Kern Carter” on your favorite bookstore platform   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Text 'em here!You've been asking God, “Why hasn't my time come yet?” But what if the delay isn't punishment…it's preparation?In this episode, we're getting real about something most entrepreneurs don't want to talk about:You might be dreaming of success that you're not yet ready to carry.Before the next level comes, God needs to develop the character, mindset, and spiritual strength to sustain it.Because the truth is...it's not enough to build the business...you have to become the person who can steward it well.Inside, I'm breaking down:✨ The difference between building the “thing” and becoming the person to carry it✨ How frustration in your delay is revealing what God's trying to grow in you✨ Why your old habits, thoughts, and emotions can't follow you into your next season✨ What “dying to self” really looks like for Christian entrepreneurs✨ How to stay faithful through the painful transformation that leads to real successIf you've been praying for income increase, opportunities, or breakthrough in your God-led business, this message will shift how you see the WAIT.You're not behind...you are becoming!

The world record for fastest pit stop—a mere 1.8 seconds—was set by the McLaren F1 Team at the Qatar Grand Prix in 2023. It's an incredible feat of speed and choreography; a pit stop that fast can't happen without a team of people operating at peak human performance. But as Dan Keyworth explains, AI plays a crucial role, too. As the Director of Business Technology at McLaren Racing, Dan is responsible for helping the whole team perform at their best—and that starts with having the right tools. Whether it's the firehose of sensor data coming off a race car, video analysis of the pit crew in action, or marketing analytics for the next Grand Prix, AI helps the McLaren F1 Team make the right decisions—and make them fast.On this episode, Dan talks about the importance of getting simple answers from complex data, how they use Dropbox Dash, and why we shouldn't think of AI as labor replacement so much as laborious replacement.You can learn more about the McLaren F1 Team at mclaren.com/racing/formula-1.

In this episode I sit down with author, entrepreneur and thought-leader Margaret Heffernan to explore two of her seminal ideas: the hidden dangers of conforming to systems that blind us to obvious truths (from her book Willful Blindness) and the vital importance of embracing uncertainty, especially through the lens of writers, artists and creatives (from her latest work Embracing Uncertainty). We talk about how organisations and individuals get stuck in the comfort of predictability, why innovation is not merely incremental improvement, what creative people can teach business leaders about sensing the future and navigating chaos, and the critical role of agency, curiosity and courage even when outcomes are uncertain. It's a conversation designed for senior leaders, coaches, team-effectiveness practitioners and anyone who wants to see beyond the status quo.  00:00 Introduction & technical note 02:15 Who is Margaret Heffernan: career, context and influences 08:45 Exploring Willful Blindness: what it means, in business and culture 17:20 Why systems and institutions encourage willful blindness 23:30 The trigger for the next book: from Uncharted to Embracing Uncertainty 29:08 Join to second recording – framing the shift to artists, music, creativity 31:00 What does “embracing uncertainty” really mean in today's world 38:40 COVID, anticipation and why the future unsettled so many organisations 45:50 Creatives, artists and the ability to sense the future ahead of others 52:12 Divergent thinking vs incremental improvement: defining “innovation” 56:22 Leadership and agency when certainty is not possible 01:03:15 How context, character and culture interact in enabling creative agency 01:10:00 Practical take-aways for senior leaders and coaches 01:15:30 Closing thoughts: system change, individual mindsets, human skills To find out more about Guy Bloom and his award winning work in Team Coaching, Leadership Development and Executive Coaching click below.The link to everything CLICK HEREUK: 07827 953814Email: guybloom@livingbrave.com Web: www.livingbrave.com

I'm bringing Meet the Creatives back next week

Fear. Self-doubt. Resistance. Every heart-driven creative meets them - but what if they're not roadblocks… they're invitations to rise?In this episode, we - CB and Season 7 co-host KMJ, psychic medium and founder of Tapestry Tarot - drop into an intuitive reading for brave creatives navigating the messy middle of bringing their dreams to life. Together, we explore what fear is really about (safety), how to move through self-doubt with action, and why resistance is actually the gateway to our next chapter.We dive into:- How to create safety while stepping into the unknown- Why clarity and confidence come after we move- What creative resistance really means - and how to meet it with power- A reminder to get obsessed with what excites us, not what could go wrongIf you're building something from the heart - a business, a book, or a whole new reality - this reading will help you come home to your power, clarity, and courage.

This round of the Creativ Rise Mastermind broke every record we've ever had.Over 6 weeks, 36 creatives made $510,364.25 — an average of $14,176 per person.That's almost double what the average freelancer makes… in half the time.Here's what's crazy:We didn't focus on teaching people how to be more creative.We focused on helping them run their creative business like a business.In this episode, we break down exactly how they did it — including the stat that blew us away:60% of all revenue came from repeatable offers.People stopped reinventing the wheel every week and built systems that sold again and again.We walk through what the group focused on that helped them break the record — things like:→ consistent pricing→ packaged offers→ clear, repeatable clients→ branding that attracts→ pitching that stands out→ marketing that runs on systems→ sales strategies that actually work — without feeling fake or pushy.This wasn't about luck.It's proof that when you get clarity, community, and a simple plan that actually works — your business can explode too.Join the waitlist for Round 15 here - www.creativrise.com/Free Tools & Trainings:→ Pricing Calculator: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠creativrise.com/pricingcalculator⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ Productivity Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠creativrise.com/productivity⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ $10K/Mo Creator Workshop Replay: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠creativrise.com/workshop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ Money Management Training: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠creativrise.com/moneytraining⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ Fix Your Inquiry Form: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠creativrise.com/inquiryform⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen & Subscribe:→ Apple Podcasts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apple.co/creativrise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠open.spotify.com/show/creativrise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Along:→ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@creativrise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@joeyspeers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@christyjspeers⁠

In this episode, Cole sits down with Chris Whitten, Senior Production Manager at Red Bull, to unpack what separates irreplaceable creatives from the rest.

The episode explores how mindset impacts success, why outreach is a creative act, and how to stay top-of-mind in an oversaturated industry. Chris shares practical frameworks for follow-up, positioning, and pitching that make hiring you a no-brainer rather than a gamble.

I was about to title this episode "How I'm Actually Feeling About AI Right Now", because honestly? It's not all sunshine and robots over here.Look, you know me. I'm the AI girl. I teach it, I use it, I've built entire systems around it. But lately? Some stuff happening in the AI space is giving me the ick. And in some cases, I'm like... have we completely lost the plot?I'm still team AI—don't get me wrong. This tech has changed everything for entrepreneurs. It's opened up massive opportunities, saved me countless hours, helped me tighten up systems, create better content, and run a stronger company. But here's the thing: not everything coming out of this so-called "AI revolution" is smart. Not all of it is going to grow your business in the right way.So I'm flipping the mic on and getting real about a couple things that aren't sitting right with me. And honestly? I think you might agree.We're building personal brand businesses in this weird new AI-saturated world, and we need to be smart about it.

Iain Thomas is a poet, author, and the Chief Innovation Officer at Sounds Fun—an advertising and creative agency that he co-founded with the belief that human creativity could be enhanced, rather than diminished, with the help of AI. It's a realization that actually began to dawn on Iain a few years prior, after his mother died. He wasn't sure how to explain death to his children, so he turned to an early version of ChatGPT for help—and was so impressed by the poetry of its responses that he came away convinced of AI's immense potential as a thought partner for his creative work. On this episode, Iain talks about using AI to make more space for the creative parts of your work, and why, in a world where everyone has access to the same tools, it's never been more important to lean into the skills, context, and experiences that make each of us most unique—and most human.Learn more about Sounds Fun soundsfun.co~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

Today I'm offering a gentler way to honour your quirks, gifts, and authentic self!

What if you could run a scrappy Black Friday promo and walk away with $15,000 in sales?That's exactly what Sam Adler did, and she's here to spill all the details.Sam is a classically trained pastry chef turned award-winning food photographer and stylist. Her vibrant style and smart strategy have landed her features in Cosmopolitan and Taste of Home, and she's built a thriving education business teaching fellow food creatives how to do what she does. But last Black Friday, she tried something new: she ran her first-ever "5 Days of Deals" promotion using my Black Friday in a Box strategy, and the results were incredible.In this episode, Sam and I dive into her journey from custom cake shop owner to food blogger to full-time photographer and educator. She walks us through exactly how she structured her Black Friday week, what offers she sold (from $24 guides to her $2,850 mastermind), and what surprised her most about the results. We also talk about why she's changing things up for this year's Black Friday and what she learned from testing new offers during the sale.If you've ever wondered whether the Black Friday in a Box strategy works for businesses outside of traditional course creation, or if you're curious about how to structure a multi-day promotion with offers at different price points, this episode is for you.What You'll Learn:How Sam transitioned from pastry chef to food photographer to online educatorThe exact breakdown of Sam's five Black Friday offers and how much each one madeWhy her $24 restaurant photography guide ended up being one of her best sellersWhat happened when she tested a brand-new $697 offer on Thanksgiving (spoiler: no one bought it, and that's okay!)How she filled half of her $2,850 mastermind spots without doing any sales callsThe power of testing new offers during Black Friday to gather valuable dataWhat Sam is changing for her Black Friday strategy this yearWhy following the Black Friday in a Box strategy to a T made all the differenceResources Mentioned in This Episode:Black Friday in a Box: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/black-fridaySam's Food Blog: https://frostingandfettuccine.com/Sam's Creative Business: https://samadlercreative.com/Your Next Steps:Work with Me: https://www.gemmabonhamcarter.com/programsWhat I Use to Run My 7-Figure Business: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/toolsConnect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/gemma.bonhamcarter  Support the show

Today I'm sharing something really helpful and practical for when it comes to recognising your values, gifts and strengths, and working WITH your brain, rather than against it.

Bex Frucht is a force of nature—a storyteller and community builder whose work blends performance, land, and small-town life in the American West. Based in Livingston, Montana, she's the founder of TMI Live, a storytelling series that celebrates vulnerability, humor, and human connection, and for the past three years, she's been the “vibe steward” of the Old Salt Festival, where her talent for bringing people together has become legendary. Whether she's hosting a show, coaching storytellers, or emceeing a fundraiser, Bex radiates generosity, intelligence, and positivity in a way that elevates every room she's in. Like so many of my favorite people, her career path is as winding as it is fascinating: a Morehead-Cain Scholar at UNC Chapel Hill, she spent her early years in media and entertainment in New York and Los Angeles, then pivoted to environmental work before landing on a ranch in Colorado to learn about land stewardship from the ground up. Those years on the prairie, combined with her creative life in cities and her Southern roots, helped hone her rare ability to connect seemingly opposite worlds—artists and ranchers, movie stars and cowboys, locals and newcomers—through the shared power of story. In this conversation recorded at her home in Livingston, we trace her inspiring journey and talk about the lessons she's learned along the way: what it means to find your authentic voice, how storytelling can build bridges across divides, and why embracing your weirdness can be the key to a meaningful life. It's a funny, authentic conversation that's as instructive as it is entertaining. For anyone who's ever wondered how to forge their own path, live creatively, and stay grounded in community, this episode is for you.   Be sure to check out the episode notes for a full list of all the topics we discussed and links to everything. And give Bex a follow on Instagram to stay in the loop about her upcoming storytelling shows and appearances in Montana and beyond. A big thanks to Bex for her friendship, encouragement, inspiration, and this conversation. And thank you for listening. --- Bex on Instagram Bex on LinkedIn Bex's Seven Talk Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/bex-frucht/ --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 2:29 - Intro, where Bex grew up and how she got West 10:40 - Grade stress 14:21 - Being yourself so others can be themselves 16:11 - How Bex changed after college 24:11 - Lawyer land ethic to MTV 27:27 - NYC love 28:32 - LA freelancing and leaving MTV 32:49 - Live storytelling 37:24 - Oversharing is caring 42:54 - Starting with the person and Bex's views on food systems 47:31 - It's all messy 54:19 - Lessons from the ranch 1:00:44 - Vibe steward 1:03:52 - Bex's job in Livingston 1:10:11 - Creatives and cowboys 1:19:30 - Relationship currency 1:24:39 - Valuing creatives 1:27:57 - Book recs --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts
