Q-W-E-R-T-Y.They're the first six letters atop all our keyboards, from our phones to our computers, and they revolutionized communication. But their history is far from digital and, in fact, is rooted here in the Cream City.In 1868, Milwaukee native Charles Latham Sholes was just trying to solve a problem: He needed to design a machine that could produce the letters of the alphabet without the arms jamming. With help from his son-in-law, Sholes separated the right letters, creating the QWERTY system and the modern typewriter.More than 150 years later, his ingenuity is still celebrated in the city where it happened.In October, QWERTYFEST takes writers, artists and lovers of typewriters (and nostalgia) on a three-day jaunt all across the keyboard. As an owner of a vintage typewriter herself, host Kim Shine wanted to get more of the story behind QWERTYFEST, so she met the organizers at Niche Book Bar in Bronzeville as they shared the latest edition of the event's official publication, the QWERTY Quarterly.—Episode host: Kim ShineUniquely Milwaukee is sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Library and supported by our Radio Milwaukee members.

This week on Creatives on Fire, I'm sharing something real and personal—why I completely disappeared from social media for a month, what happened when I did, and why you might want to consider doing the same. This episode is a candid look at burnout, boundaries, and what it really takes to build a sustainable online business. It's rooted in insights from Chapter 4 and the Mindset Matters Bonus Chapter of my new book, Creatives on Fire: 71 Secrets to Making Money Online. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode204 What Happens When You Stop Showing Up Online? Truth bomb: Out of nearly 400,000 followers, only one person noticed I was gone. Yep—after posting consistently for seven years across multiple platforms, I finally hit a wall. I took the entire month of June off. No reels, no videos, no stories, no pins, no lives. And here's what I learned: The break didn't break my business. It saved it. If You're Feeling Overwhelmed, Here's Your Permission Slip We talk so much about growing an audience, staying consistent, and showing up daily—but not at the cost of your mental health. Let this episode be your reminder: You're allowed to rest. You're allowed to reassess. You're allowed to pivot. And yes, your business will be okay. 3 Real Strategies for Sustainable Social Media If you're ready to get intentional with your online business and reduce overwhelm, here's the strategy I recommend: 1. Pick One Platform and Go All In Stop trying to be everywhere. Choose the platform where your ideal customer actually spends time, and master it. Know the ins and outs, post regularly, and let it be your home base.

From talking about your creative drives as fundamental needs to revealing the original Blackfoot nation model that Maslow "borrowed" from (and then warped), Caitlin helps us reimagine what it means to be a fully expressed human.

There are so many shiny objects, strategies, and promises of instant success that it's easy to stall before you ever get started. But the problem isn't usually effort — it's direction Secret #1: Finding Your Niche Whether you're brand new or ready to pivot in your business, nailing down your niche is the foundation for everything else. Your niche is that magical sweet spot where your passion meets a real need in the market.
