'Each of us was put on this earth at this time to personally determine the fate of humankind.  Do you think you were put here for something less?' Chief Arvol Looking Horse. We exist in a world where the ultra-rich are getting richer, powered by a system we call 'the economy' which is serving to funnel power and value up to an ever-shrinking core of wounded individuals who then project their trauma out on the rest of the world in a doomed attempt to feel better about being caught in a system that doesn't promote human wellbeing. So far, so very obvious.  The system is clearly dysfunctional and the cost of failure is the sixth mass extinction. The stakes could not be higher.  So how do we create the unity and clarity we need to coalesce around a common cause? Explicitly, how do we create a system that aims for the longterm wellbeing for all - where 'all' is not just all of humanity now and for generations to come in perpetuity, but all of the web of life, the human and the more than human worlds? How, in fact, do we persuade at least a critical mass of our existing system, that we as humans exist to transform our selves and our world for the flourishing of all? This weeks' guest has wrestled with these questions for all her adult life.  Victoria Hurth is an Independent Pracademic who works at the cutting edge of theory and practice to help the world clarify its consensus on foundational issues.  As you'll hear, she firmly believes that we need to agree that our goal is the longterm wellbeing of all, and then co-create the governance system to frame the strategies that will take us there.  We don't need everyone to sign up, but we do need a critical mass of people at all levels of our organisations from government, to NGOs to industry and beyond.  To this end, Victoria co-led the five-year development of the global ISO standard in Governance of Organizations (ISO37000), was Technical Author for the first national standard in Purpose-Driven Organizations and is currently Project Leader of the development of an equivalent ISO (ISO37011). Victoria is a Fellow of the University of Cambridge Institute of Sustainability Leadership (CISL), Director at the Soil Association Certification Ltd and advises Planet Mark, UnaTerra Venture Capital, and formerly Creatives for Climate Collective and SACE – Italy's national export credit agency. She advised the UN on the SDG methodology for the business reporting target 12.6.1 and has over 25 years' global experience in business transformation and as a full time Associate Professor of Marketing and Sustainable Business.   Alongside all this, she is a practicing Stoic. How inspiring is that?  She is also co-author of a new book called 'Beyond Profit' which is one of those potentially world-changing books that lays out in explicit detail why the old system is dead, how slight tweaks to make it 'more sustainable' are never - were never - going to work - and how instead we might craft a new system of governance that allows us to step forward into a world that does prioritise the longterm wellbeing of all life.

Behind the Scenes at the Achieve Conference: Game-Changing Tips, AI Privacy, and Real Creator Strategies In this episode of the Creatives on Fire podcast, I'm recapping the highlights from my recent trip to the Achieve Conference in Waco—and trust me, these takeaways are worth every second of your time. But first—a quick announcement: I'm taking a short break from the podcast for Q4 to focus fully on my business and set things up strong for the new year. While I pause the podcast, I'll still be uploading videos three times a week on YouTube, so be sure to subscribe here if you haven't already! https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode217 Now, let's dive into the top lessons and tips I'm bringing home from the conference: Protect Your AI Content Thanks to Maria Duron, I discovered an important setting in ChatGPT that affects your content privacy. Here's what to do: Open ChatGPT (on both desktop and mobile). Click your profile icon > Settings > Data Controls. Toggle OFF “Improve the model for everyone.” This ensures your ideas, courses, books, and business strategies are NOT used to train the AI model. Do it on each device to make sure your data is protected. Build a Brand Story People Remember Gurneet Chhabra of the Savvy Fashion Girl reminded us that authenticity is more than a buzzword—it's a brand builder. Her tips: Regularly share a short, powerful story of who you are and why you do what you do. Create a quick video or Reel version of your story to reintroduce yourself often. Pay close attention to metrics as your audience's way of speaking back to you: Saves = Value Shares = Impact Comments = Connection Link Clicks = Trust Metrics aren't vanity numbers—they're your community's response. Use them to tweak and align your messaging. Practical Creator Tools and Tech Tips A panel of content creators shared some quick, impactful tools and settings every creator should know: Set your phone's camera to record at 1080p HD at 30 FPS for best clarity. Adjust aspect ratio to 9:16 (vertical) for optimal results across platforms. Create content that's doable and relatable, not over-produced. Simple projects often perform better than complicated ones. Fit Content Into a Busy Schedule Sarah Elizabeth (a full-time teacher and content creator) shared her brilliant system for staying consistent: She creates project-specific albums in her phone to track all content—photos, supplies, videos. She stays late at work one hour each day to batch reply, engage, and post, knowing once she's home, life takes over. Her mindset shift: If you're in it for the long haul, why race? Do the content you love. Plan it out. Then share it from a place of purpose. If you take nothing else away from this episode—toggle off ChatGPT content sharing and go back to your content roots. Lead with authenticity, lean into what works, and protect the creative spark that brought you here. Taking a break from podcasting for Q4 was not easy, but it's necessary for me to pour into what matters most right now. I challenge you to do the same—audit your focus and lean into growth this season.

I am SO pumped to share this episode with you because it's proof that the strategies I teach actually work in the real world.My student Stephanie Kase just pulled back the curtain on how she made $20,013 during Black Friday 2024 using my Black Friday in a Box strategy. And she documented EVERYTHING.We're talking about a woman who doubled her previous year's Black Friday results without massive audience growth. She went from making her typical $4-6K flash sales to hitting a goal that honestly seemed ambitious when she set it.What I love most about Stephanie's approach is that she didn't just follow my strategy blindly - she adapted it, tested it, and made it work for her business. She ran five days of deals, used strategic upsells, and even threw in some warm audience Facebook ads that generated a 13.4x return on ad spend.This isn't just about the numbers though. Stephanie breaks down exactly what worked, what didn't, and what she's changing for next year. She's sharing the behind-the-scenes reality of running a successful Black Friday campaign, including the 500 people who unsubscribed (and why she's totally fine with that).Grab Black Friday in a Box while it's on SALE: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/black-fridayWhat you'll learn:The exact 5-day deal structure that generated over $20K in salesHow strategic upsells and order bumps added $4,100 to her revenueWhy running ads to warm audiences only resulted in 13.4x return on ad spendThe specific email timing strategy that worked (and what didn't)Her biggest mistakes and what she's doing differently in 2025The email subject lines that got the highest open rates during Black Friday weekHow she prepared her audience weeks in advance with a Black Friday catalogThe backend technical issues you need to avoid when running daily dealsResources Mentioned in this Episode:Black Friday in a Box: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/black-fridayStephanie's breakdown and free Black Friday debrief document here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgJSgXeShB4Your 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

Creatives can learn so much from comedians.If a painting, a piece of writing or a sculpture goes wrong for us at least it doesn't go wrong on stage in front of 100 people. All artists are bearing their soul to an audience in one way or another but I believe comedians are the bravest, to do it so publicly.It's always a pleasure to bring you an episode with the brilliant Liz Miele.In this episode we discuss;* Pay what you want platforms for creatives.* Being demonetized on YouTube and shadowbanned on Insta* Staying true to your craft as a creative and ignoring trends* The ‘fans' that don't deserve your workIf you enjoy this episode, please share it.

If you've ever wondered whether you could actually make money with the Amazon Influencer Program, you're going to love this conversation with Rob Wagner, also known as Fizz. Rob started out blogging in the health and fitness space but quickly realized the potential of pivoting into Amazon's video-based influencer program. In this episode, he shares how the helpful content update actually pushed him to lean harder into Amazon—and it paid off. From Certified Trainer to Amazon Content Creator Rob walks us through how he got started with a blog, using his certifications in personal training and nutrition coaching to create content that genuinely helped people. His blog grew fast, and affiliate income followed. But when Google's helpful content update tanked his traffic, Rob shifted focus. Already in the Amazon Influencer Program, he took it as a sign to double down—and that's when things really took off. Why On-Site Amazon Videos Work So Well Rob explains how the on-site video strategy works: you create a video for a product, upload it to your Amazon dashboard, and—if Amazon chooses to feature it—it shows up right on the product page. No need to drive traffic yourself. If your video gets watched and helps convert a sale, you earn commission. It's a hands-off approach that's scalable and ideal for creators looking for passive-style income. “I create content, upload it, and move on. Amazon takes care of the traffic.” — Rob Wagner Finding the Right Products: What to Look For According to Rob, the key to earning consistently is two-fold: Choose products with proven sales (Amazon even tells you how many have sold). Look for listings with few or no influencer videos to reduce competition. Bonus tip: there are tools (like Rob's own Oink extension) that can help you filter and find ideal product opportunities faster and more strategically. Creator Connections: A Game-Changer for Commission Rates We also talk about Creator Connections—Amazon's internal campaign platform where brands offer higher commission rates to influencers willing to create content. Rob breaks down how this works, why it's worth your time, and how to request free product samples directly from brands to support your content creation. He also shares a crucial mindset shift: those who treat this like a business and work with intention (instead of just creating random content) are the ones who see the biggest returns. Final Advice: Commit to a Strategy Whether you're new to the Influencer program or you've been dabbling and not seeing results, Rob's advice is simple and clear: Commit to a strategy. Solve your product pipeline. Be consistent. There's still money on the table for creators who show up with intention and learn how the program works.

Ready to find out how I made $158K in just five days? And no, this isn't another "look how amazing I am" story—this is me pulling back the curtain on the exact Black Friday strategy that's been game-changing for my business and hundreds of my students.I'm spilling all the tea on my 5 Days of Deals method that I literally invented back in 2019 when I was desperately trying to figure out how to make Black Friday work for course creators. Back then, I had exactly two products and was in the middle of pivoting my entire business. Fast forward to last month, and this same strategy brought in $158,584 in revenue with 246 buyers.But here's what makes me proud—this method I created out of desperation is now being used by big names across the industry.

In this episode of LIGHT TALK with The Lumen Brothers and Sister, as part of our "Young Designers Series", the Lumen Family interviews Production and Concert Touring Designer Cort Lawrence. In this episode, Cort, Ellen, Steve, Dennis, Zac, and David discuss: Working with immersive video screens in design; Using AI in design development; Programmers and designers using AI to scan audio tracks to find compositional elements in a song; Human intervention for safety issues in design; Cooperation vs. Collaboration; Creatives acting as translators; Protecting your intellectual propery in an AI world; How being a student of history informs your design; Self-training on Cinema 4D in high school; Raw Cereal; and Advice for young production designers.  Nothing is Taboo, Nothing is Sacred, and Very Little Makes Sense.

Here's an engaging episode intro for your podcast show notes: Episode Intro: Q4 is coming fast, and just like elite surfers who train all year for that monster swell, creative entrepreneurs need to be ready when the holiday buying season hits. But here's the thing – while those surfers need to maintain peak physical condition year-round, your marketing prep is actually much simpler (and thankfully doesn't involve cold plunges or giving up carbs). In this episode, we're diving deep into the one marketing channel you actually own and control: your email list. While social media algorithms can throttle your reach and platforms can change their rules overnight, email remains the steady workhorse of creative businesses – if you know how to use it right. We'll cover the essential "Great Email Roundup" (hint: you have way more email addresses scattered around than you think), why getting people to reply to your emails matters more than you realize, and how to tastefully reach out to friends and family without feeling like that cringy life insurance salesperson we all know. Plus, I'll share why you need to up your email frequency NOW – yes, even if it makes you uncomfortable – and specific strategies for capturing more emails before the holiday rush begins. Whether you're at the "what's marketing again?" stage or you're already sending regular emails, this episode will help you level up your email game for the most important selling season of the year. Because unlike those surfers, we know exactly when our big wave is coming – and there's no excuse for sitting on the beach watching it pass by.

I almost never say yes to cold pitches. But one late night, I opened an email from Meghan Ely of OFD Consulting—and instead of deleting it, I hit reply. It was researched, personal, and actually useful. That same energy comes through in this conversation, where Meghan shares how she's helped creatives land features in The New York Times, Brides, Martha Stewart, People, and more. This episode will shift how you think about PR—not as something reserved for celebrities or giant corporations, but as a powerful tool for any creative entrepreneur ready to be seen. In this episode, we cover: The real difference between PR and marketing—and why Instagram isn't PR The anatomy of a great wedding submission (permissions, vendor credits, and photo curation that tells a story) How to jump on cultural moments (like Taylor & Travis) with smart, timely commentary The truth about pay-to-play, advertising, and how to promote ethically Why rejection is part of the process and how to separate your self-worth from submissions Client success stories where press built authority, trust, and long-term bookings How OFD Collective helps creatives get quoted, featured, and speaking opportunities Meghan is smart, warm, and refreshingly candid. If you've ever wondered how to get published—or if you're tired of trying to DIY submissions—you'll love this conversation. Meet Meghan OFD Consulting owner, Meghan Ely, combines in-the-trenches event experience with a love of wedding PR to empower her clients to take their businesses to new heights. Her team's publicity efforts are regularly honored by the Public Relations Society of America, and more recently, Eventex named her one of the most influential Wedding Professionals in the Industry. A long-time industry speaker and writer, she has regularly earned clients' press in such outlets as the New York Times, Brides, Martha Stewart Weddings, People, Bridal Guide, Architectural Digest and Style Me Pretty, among many others.

Amanda Cupido doesn't speak Spanish or French. But using AI, she and her team helped a global nonprofit make their internal podcast more accessible to as many employees as possible. Amanda is an audio producer and the founder of a production company called Lead Podcasting. One of her clients is a global nonprofit with over 35,000 employees—and not all of them speak English. So she made them a pitch: what if they added AI into the mix? They would make the podcast in English, and then use generative AI voice tools to translate it into Spanish and French—with a lot of human oversight, of course. Driven by a desire to use these tools for good, the goal was never to replace people, but to reach more people, and it worked.On this episode, Amanda shows what it's like—and what it sounds like—to make a podcast with AI that's still human at its core.You can learn more about Lead Podcasting at leadpodcasting.com~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

Getting your best ideas into the world isn't vital. Especially today if you want to thrive as a creative. But if you're a creative or a business owner, you know how hard it is to explain the transformation your offers (art, products, service) gives someone. Sometimes what you do is powerful but hard to grasp… and that makes sharing it (or selling it) feel impossible.In this video, I'm talking about why it's so hard to communicate your creative value and why that's the exact thing keeping your best ideas from making the impact they're meant to. Whether you're an artist, coach, or creative entrepreneur, you'll learn how to:Clarify the transformation your work creates for othersOvercome resistance to sharing your best ideasStop hiding your best workIf you've ever felt stuck trying to explain what you do—or why it matters—this video will help you unlock the clarity and courage to finally get your ideas out into the world.

If you've ever wondered how to grow a thriving online craft business while raising six kids and staying grounded in faith, today's episode is for you. I'm joined by the inspiring Colette Barron, the heart and hands behind Blessings Craft Therapy. Colette has built a beautiful community of nearly a million followers across platforms by showing up with consistency, creativity, and compassion. From humble beginnings with Facebook Lives to viral videos on YouTube, her story will both encourage and challenge you to step boldly into your calling. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode215 From MLM to DIY CEO Colette didn't start out with plans to be a content creator. In fact, she was working in the medical field before stepping back to raise her family. But with creative energy bubbling over, she began sharing easy, Dollar Tree-inspired crafts online. At first, she joined an MLM company, but it wasn't long before she realized it wasn't the right fit. She felt the nudge to create something of her own—and she did. What began as 3–4 minute Facebook videos turned into a full-time business built on creativity and consistency. Her secret? Showing up every day, sharing something doable, and focusing on quick wins for her audience. A Mindset Shift That Changed Everything One of the biggest turning points in Colette's journey was shifting her mindset from “What can you do for me?” to “What can I do for you?” That simple, powerful change—focusing on serving her audience—transformed how she created content. Rather than selling or pushing products, she focused on making people smile, giving them a pause in their day, and building confidence through crafting. And it worked. The Power of a Tagline and a Smile If you've seen Colette's videos, you already know her signature signoff: “Now it's your turn. Go make something pretty.” It's more than a phrase—it's a mission. It invites creativity, encourages action, and reminds her audience they're capable of creating beauty, too. How She Gets It All Done Colette is a mom of six and a homeschooler, but she still manages to create consistent content across multiple platforms. Her secret? Batching. Mondays are for planning and prepping content Tuesdays are for shopping for DIY supplies Wednesdays are for filming all of her crafts The rest of the week is spent editing, homeschooling, and managing her home She also repurposes her long-form YouTube videos into short videos for Facebook, allowing her to multiply her content without recreating it. And her best tip? Record voiceovers in the car—it's quiet, soundproof, and distraction-free! The Platform She Loves the Most While she started on Facebook, Colette says YouTube is her favorite platform. Why? It's easier to manage and schedule The monetization is stronger and more consistent You don't have to feed the algorithm as often She compares it to feeding someone a good meal once a week vs. feeding them fast food all day every day (hello, Facebook). The Secret to Staying Consistent It's not always easy, but Colette says obedience keeps her going. She feels a calling to do this work—not just for her family or her audience, but because she believes God asked her to. That motivation helps her keep showing up, especially when things get hard. She also mentioned that people are watching—her kids, her followers—and she wants to lead by example. Faith at the Core Colette's faith weaves through everything she does. At first, she wasn't sure how to bring it into her business. But after a powerful moment of prayer in her car, she knew it was time to share more openly. Now, she shares morning devotionals in her Instagram Stories and plans to launch a podcast called Created to Create that will blend faith, business, and creativity. One Post Away Colette reminded us that growth often comes from one post that resonates deeply. A Dollar Tree plunger project and a single YouTube video both went viral and changed everything. But neither would have happened without the daily commitment to show up and serve. “You're just one post away,” she says—and it's a reminder we all need. Where to Find Colette You can follow Colette at Blessings Craft Therapy on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest. On TikTok, she's @blessedcolette.

Her AI Era Summit: Empowering Women in AI with Kinsey and JoyceThe stats are in: men are twice as likely to use AI tools than women. And that's a problem. Not just because AI can boost productivity by 40% (hello, gender income gap!), but because AI tools are literally being trained by the people using them. If more men are using AI than women, guess whose perspective is shaping the future?That's exactly why Kinsey from Feel Good Social and Joyce from Only Boldly decided to shake things up and create Her AI Era Summit – a five-day virtual event designed specifically for women entrepreneurs ready to step into their AI power.I had the best time chatting with these two brilliant women about why women need their own seat at the AI table (spoiler: we're not just taking a seat, we're building our own table), how the "bros with Lambos" are infiltrating AI education, and why women who are already carrying the load at work and home deserve the leg up that AI can provide.We dive deep into the guilt women feel around using AI tools – because heaven forbid we make our lives easier – and why that needs to stop immediately. We also get into some fun lightning rounds about AI headshots, voice cloning, and the AI tasks that still feel like pure magic.If you've been on the fence about embracing AI in your business, this conversation will give you the push (and permission) you need to dive in.Make sure you snag your ticket to the summit, Her AI Era happening Oct 13-19: https://gemma003--heraiera.thrivecart.com/her-ai-era-summit-2025/Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Her AI Era Summit: https://gemma003--heraiera.thrivecart.com/her-ai-era-summit-2025/Only Boldly (Joyce): https://onlyboldly.comAuthentic AI for Entrepreneurs (Kinsey): https://feelgoodsocial.comChatGPT: https://openai.com/chatgptMidjourney: https://midjourney.comMake: https://make.comDescript: https://descript.comPerplexity: https://perplexity.aiYour Next Steps:Get Your Summit Ticket: https://gemma003--heraiera.thrivecart.com/her-ai-era-summit-2025/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

That's exactly what happened during my summer "ghost mode," and I'm spilling all the details on how I pulled it off.This summer was supposed to be my full unplug season. We're talking lake swims, cottage mornings, road trips through Ontario and New York State, and honestly having no clue what day it was half the time. I posted two Instagram photo dumps total, did zero launches, and stayed off the content hamster wheel completely.But here's the plot twist: my business didn't just survive without me—it thrived. We brought in over $131K in July and August alone, did 490 sales with a mix of new and returning customers, and everything ran like clockwork. So if you've ever wondered what it actually looks like to take real time off AND keep the money flowing, this episode breaks down exactly how I did it.I'm getting into the nitty-gritty of the systems that made this possible, why paid ads aren't optional if you want consistent revenue (yeah, I said it), and the few CEO-level projects I did tackle during my "off" time. Plus, I'm sharing what this means for you and how to build a business that doesn't fall apart the moment you step away from your laptop.What You'll Learn:How I generated $131,522 in revenue during July and August while mostly offlineWhy paid ads are the real engine behind "sales on autopilot" (and the exact numbers behind my summer ad spend)The power of stacked payments and recurring revenue for financial stabilityThe difference between day-to-day chaos work and strategic CEO-level projectsHow to build infrastructure that lets you actually take time off without everything falling apartWhat systems you need to stop being the bottleneck in your own businessThe mindset shift from "keeping up" to building leverageYour Next Steps:AI Dream Team, Start Here: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/aiworkshopTwo-Hour Brand Book: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/brandBlack Friday in a Box: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/black-fridayWork 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

In part 2 of our series on the 5th house in astrology we look at examples of famous people that have the ruler of the Ascendant in the fifth house in their birth chart, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim. The fifth house is traditionally associated with a wide range of topics in astrology such as children, creativity, pleasure, romance, sex and sexuality, games, and good fortune. In ancient astrology, the Ascendant was sometimes called the helm of the ship of the native's life, and the ruler of the Ascendant was said to be the captain. The house where the captain of the chart is located can tell you a lot about where the life is being directed, and in this episode we explore what happens when the life is directed towards the topics of the fifth house. Over the course of the episode, we explore more than 50 example charts of famous people who have the ruler of the Ascendant in the fifth house in order to demonstrate how this placement can play out in a number of different ways. Some of the charts we look at include those of actors, directors, musicians, comedians, athletes, writers, artists, and more. Through this survey, we are able to see many different concrete manifestations of the fifth house archetype, and develop a more well-rounded and grounded understanding of its meaning. This is the second of a three-part series on the fifth house, which is itself part of our larger series where I've been doing a deep dive on the twelve houses in astrology. In the next episode in this series we will explore the meaning of the ruler of the fifth house in each of the twelve houses, showing how the topics of the fifth house can be exported into other areas of a person's life.
