Shannon is back on the podcast-- and the results since her last episode are WILD. After joining us when her digital Etsy shop had just reached 2,000 sales, she's now broken into the top 1% of Etsy sellers, and we're unpacking exactly what changed along the way -- from evolving her trend and niche strategy and capitalizing on bestsellers to trusting designs she doesn't personally love, refining her AI workflow, and building the confidence to follow the data instead of her own preferences. **"How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy" is not affiliated with or endorsed by Etsy.com STUFF I MENTIONED: ⭐Join Trendspotting: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/trendspotting Use code KEEP20 to get your first month for $17 (renews at $37/month) ⭐Join us in Scaling Society: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/scaling-society Use code 50SCALE to get your first month for $97. ➡️ The first episode with Shannon: Ep 217 | 0- 2,000 sales in 6 months: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/217 ➡️ Get Everbee Free: https://www.everbee.io/?via=lizzie Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MucPFkvC8sk ➡️ Try Kittl: https://kittl.pxf.io/y22q9N HOW I HELP ETSY SELLERS GROW: ⭐Scaling Society: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/scaling-society ⭐"How to Blow Up Your Etsy Shop" free training: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/interested-in-blow-up-shop ⭐Trendspotting: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/trendspotting ----------------------
With his amazing IN THE CITY comics (self-published), cartoonist Karl Christian Krumpholz manages to capture the ephemerality and dynamism of urban life, fueled by the stories of bar and club patrons. We talk about how he began In The City and how it unfolded and grew over five parts, how he learned to let his minor characters breathe and have their own stories, why his stand-in plays the Harpo-ish role of mute observer, and why The City isn't a specific city (but isn't Chicago). We get into Orwell's 10 rules for a perfect pub and why his new coda to In The City is (tentatively) named Moon Under Water, why it's better for his characters to embody flâneur-hood instead of his trying to seem smart by being explicit about it, how he began drawing cityscapes to get over how much he hated drawing backgrounds and then fell in love with that mode, how Evan Dorkin's Milk & Cheese was his gateway drug into indy comics, how it took him quite a while to find his voice and comics-mode, and why he hopes to keep making comics about The City for a long time. We also discuss his fashion choices and hat fixation, and how led to him getting (visually) mistaken for Seth (or cosplay-/stunt double Seth), the importance of showing up at comics events, getting stories from his adventures in different cities (esp. the bars, of course), how he's the second guest of mine named Karl who has a comic about his cat, and more.

5–Minute Parenting: Tips to Help You Raise Competent, Godly Kids.
Send us Fan MailHost Karen Ferguson welcomes back Dr. Gladys Childs to share about her new book and provide practical tips for parents. Dr. Gladys hosts the podcast and TV show Bare Faith, where raw faith and deep pain meet a relentless God. A pastor's wife, theologian, author, and boy mom, she names the lies standing between people and God's truth. Her book, Chasing Emptiness, Finding Fullness, is for anyone exhausted from hoping the next thing will finally satisfy. On today's episode, Dr. Gladys answers the following questions:You host a podcast and TV show called Bare Faith and you have a series called 'Learning to Live with the Unfinished.' As a parent, how do you sit with the unfinished places in your own kids' lives, the seasons where you can't fix it and the story feels wrong, without trying to control the outcome?In your book Chasing Emptiness, Finding Fullness, you tell a story about teaching your son Scott to choose joy from the time he was a baby. He's a teenager now and you said he still wakes up smiling. What did you do differently, and can parents start this with older kids too?You didn't grow up in a home where love was spoken or shown, and you write that you were in your late twenties before you grasped that God loved you. How does that shape the way you parent your own son?Your book identifies psychological barriers for each fruit of the Spirit. If you had to pick the one barrier that affects most parents on a daily basis, which would it be and why?You have a devotional called 'Curb Anger Before It Transforms You.' What's your practical advice for the parent standing in the kitchen about to lose it? Learn more at gladyschilds.com.

If you're the kind of parents seeking tools that help you really dig into deep, intentional growth with your child, this is the episode for you. Your kid doesn't need another lecture (they'll likely forget by dinner). They need images they can carry into the next hard moment, and nature is full of them.Today we're joined by Amber Vilhauer, who co-wrote What Nature Teaches Us with her nine-year-old son, Clay, after turning hiking trails into a living classroom. What Nature Teaches Us: A Book About Being the Light by Clay Vilhauer & Amber Vilhauer (Releasing October 13 via Disruption Books)ChooseTheLight.com Here's a Free gift JUST for our Sustainable Parenting audience: Family Bonding & Nature Resource ToolkitAmber shares how simple prompts like “What is the sun trying to model for us?” unlock a child's inner world and invite wisdom you can't force with a speech. We dig into some of the book's most memorable metaphors: the sun warming everyone without choosing favorites, the rainbow arriving after the rain has done its work, and the reminder that hard things and beautiful things are connected.We also explore how nature based parenting supports nervous system regulation in a high-anxiety, high-tech world. Flora reflects on why metaphors stick, including the story of trees that grow without wind and then fall because they never develop deep roots. Amber offers practical ways to use the book at home, in the car after a tough practice, or anywhere a child is dealing with disappointment, social dynamics, or big feelings. And we zoom out to the bigger picture: wonder and awe as a pathway back to hope, for us and for our kids.If you want more connection and less combat, press play. Then subscribe, share this with a parent friend, leave a review, and check out the book at choose the light.com.✨Want more? ✨JOIN me in Inner Circle: https://courses.sustainableparenting.com/bundles/sustainable-parenting-inner-circle

Grab the free guide: Why Your Etsy Listings Aren't Selling Yet - and What To Do About It: www.handmadebosses.com/whynosalesEtsy has made several seller changes in 2026, but which ones actually matter to your shop?In this episode, we'll cover:New DDP requirements for international sellers shipping to US buyersWhat the US shipping changes could mean for your pricing and postageEtsy's redesigned Payment accountNew information and appeal options for removed listingsWhat you actually need to do about each changeNo giant Etsy-news dump. Just three changes actually worth knowing about.
Su Amazon, eBay ed Etsy compaiono inserzioni con foto impeccabili: girasoli giganti viola, angurie blu, fiori-gatto, perfino “semi di gamberi demoniaci che urlano”. Prezzo basso, ordini a migliaia, recensioni che oscillano tra l'attesa della consegna e la delusione: pianti il seme, cresce un normalissimo girasole giallo. Non sempre è una truffa nel senso classico: spesso qualcosa arriva davvero, solo che non è ciò che l'immagine suggeriva.Il punto è la frizione tra promessa implicita e realtà: la piattaforma fatica a distinguere tra una foto autentica di un ibrido raro e un'immagine sintetica di una pianta che non esiste in natura. E l'IA generativa diventa lo strumento ideale per produrre “prove” visive convincenti, a costo quasi nullo, ricaricabili all'infinito quando gli annunci vengono rimossi.Qui entra la distinzione del filosofo Harry G. Frankfurt (autore del saggio On Bullshit, spesso pubblicato in Italia come Stronzate): non la menzogna consapevole, ma l'indifferenza al vero. Con micro-prezzi e micro-rischi legali, questo mercato di “stronzate” scala facilmente e prepara il terreno a versioni più costose: corsi miracolosi, integratori, investimenti, immobili. Cambia l'oggetto venduto

What if the secret to finding winning Etsy products isn't starting with the product at all?In this episode, we're flipping the usual Etsy strategy on its head: customer first, product second. I'll walk you through how to identify the right customer, build your product ideas around their needs, and create a shop designed for repeat purchases instead of constantly hoping the next listing sells.If you've ever created products, listed them, and then waited… and waited… this episode is for you.Feeling stuck with your Etsy shop? Inside our Ultimate Etsy course and coaching program, we believe there's no one size fits all strategy. Every shop is different. That's why the first step is to book a call with our team so we can understand your goals, identify what's holding your shop back, and help you create a clear path to growth.
We made it to Episode 300… and apparently it's time for an intervention.
On this episode we talk with Eliza Jacobs, VP of Safety Product Policy at Roblox, about what it actually takes to keep one of the world's biggest online platforms safe for kids.Eliza takes us behind the scenes of Roblox's approach to safety, from building safety into the product from the start to moderating millions of user-created experiences, handling reports, and dealing with the unique challenges of real-time voice chat. We also dig into the growing debate around age verification, privacy, and how platforms can protect younger users without creating an entirely new set of problems.And because Roblox is a huge part of how millions of kids spend their time online, we ask the questions parents actually want answered: What happens when a child reports someone? How does Roblox detect inappropriate interactions? What can parents realistically expect from the platform? And, most importantly, is there any secret way to get your kid some free Robux?Your kids are on Roblox so this is a conversation worth hearing.Eliza Jacobs is the VP of Safety Product Policy at Roblox, where she is responsible for our external Community Standards and the internal interpretation and enforcement of those policies. Prior to joining Roblox, she was the Head of Product Policy at Airbnb, joining in 2016 as the third member of the broader Community Policy team and helping it grow to 18 people in five offices across the globe. Eliza started her tech journey at Etsy, where she worked in a wide variety of Trust and Safety roles and learned the ropes of product, policy, and operations. She began her career as a lawyer, practicing as a securities litigator in New York before making the switch to Trust and Safety.
Many of us experience life pre and post death of a loved one. It's one of those experiences you can't avoid and can't unsee.

New Teacher Talk welcomes Christine Beardslee, a reading specialist and veteran educator with 26 years of experience in New Jersey, to walk you through one of the most practical safeguards you can build: a substitute teacher folder. Hosted by Dr. Beth Wilkins and Dr. Anna Quinzio-Zafran, this episode turns a task that is easy to put off into a clear, doable checklist. Christine starts from the substitute's point of view, walking into an unfamiliar room with almost no preparation, and makes the case that a well-organized binder gives everyone stability. It keeps students in familiar routines, helps the sub feel confident, and protects the learning environment when you cannot be there. From a brightly colored binder that is easy to spot to the specific contents that make a day run smoothly, she covers what to include and why each piece matters, drawing on systems she has refined over decades in the classroom. What to put in your folder: A warm welcome letter with your contact info, plus a grade-level colleague and the nurse A class roster with attendance procedures, reliable student helpers, and pairings to keep apart Clearly documented dismissal procedures, because student safety comes first Relevant student health information, from allergies to conditions needing closer monitoring A building map and steps for fire drills, lockdowns, and shelter-in-place Your daily schedule and routines, including attention-getters, specials, transitions, lunch, and bathroom procedures Step-by-step lesson plans, pre-organized materials, and extra activities for early finishers A sub feedback form so you learn how the day actually went Resources Christine recommends: Teachers Pay Teachers and Etsy for customizable templates, and The First Days of School by Harry Wong for classroom routines. If this episode nudged you to finally build your folder, or there is a topic you want us to cover next, leave us a five-star rating and a review. We read every one, and your feedback shapes future episodes. #NewTeacherTalk #SubstituteFolder #ClassroomManagement #NewTeacherSupport #TeacherOrganization #EmergencyPreparedness #ReadingSpecialist #FirstDaysOfSchool #TeacherTips #SubPlans

Etsy is opening the door to something that could be a BIG deal for growing sellers: giving other users access to your shop. So… should you hire a VA? In this episode, I break down when an Etsy VA actually makes sense, what I would (and wouldn't) outsource, and how I'd structure the role. We'll talk about using VAs for listing creation, keyword research, customer service, and fulfillment—plus how to train them to work the way you want, where to find good VAs, what you should expect to pay, and why I prefer hiring for specific roles instead of looking for a vague "Etsy assistant."

Koop and Russ hosted their podcast, discussing a wide range of topics from personal updates to current events. Koop shared his recent health issues, including skin cancer recurrence and severe hip and back problems requiring surgery. They talked about cars, finances, and daily frustrations. The conversation covered food preferences, workouts, and Viking rock music. They debated Trump's decision to ban certain media outlets from the White House, with Russ supporting the move due to perceived media bias. The duo discussed Middle Eastern politics, particularly Israel's actions and the Syrian president's UN speech. They touched on military promotion processes and the new Joint Warfighting Assessment. Football injuries, the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship, and the cultural moment of her public support were analyzed.

If you've ever wondered how to get kids to listen without yelling, threats, or constant power struggles, this episode offers a different way to think about discipline. We're talking about “raising the adult, not just managing the child” — and why focusing too heavily on instant obedience can sometimes build dependence instead of confidence, resilience, and independence.As parents, it's easy to get stuck asking, “How do I make my child listen?” or “What consequence will stop this behavior?” But if our long-term goal is to raise resilient kids who can problem-solve, regulate their emotions, take responsibility, and eventually function independently, our parenting strategies have to look beyond what gets compliance right now.We'll dig into snowplow parenting and the very understandable impulse to step in, rescue, remind, fix, and solve problems for our kids. While over-helping can make life easier in the moment, age-appropriate struggle gives children opportunities to build competence, confidence, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills.You'll also hear how punishment-focused discipline can contribute to power struggles, lying, and emotional blowups — and what to focus on instead.Then we'll shift into practical positive parenting strategies rooted in Positive Discipline and kind and firm parenting. You'll learn questions that can completely change the way you approach challenging behavior:How can I build connection so my child is more open to cooperation?What might be underneath this behavior?What skill does my child still need help developing? And how can we work on building that skill?How can I teach emotional regulation instead of simply demanding compliance?Where can I step back so my child can build more independence?How can I create a safe environment where they aren't afraid to tell the truth?How can we create a routine together that encourages autonomy?This is Sustainable Parenting: bridging the gap between overly gentle parenting and overly harsh discipline so you can be kind AND firm at the same time.Because the goal isn't simply to stop tantrums, get kids to listen, or win today's power struggle. It's to raise confident, capable, resilient kids who can eventually handle life without us doing it for them.If this episode helps, subscribe to the Sustainable Parenting Podcast, share it with a parent friend, and leave a quick review so more families can discover practical strategies for parenting without yelling, stopping power struggles, and raising resilient, independent kids.✨Want more? ✨JOIN me in Inner Circle: https://courses.sustainableparenting.com/bundles/sustainable-parenting-inner-circle

Better Food Habits for Busy Women Without More Overwhelm with Kelly MillerHow do entrepreneurs build better food habits when you are already busy, overwhelmed, and accustomed to choosing the easiest available option? In part two of Crystal Waddell's conversation with Kelly Miller, also known as Health Coach Kel, they move from customer language and product naming into an honest discussion about food, confidence, health, and the lives busy women are trying to build.Crystal shares her personal experience with weight loss, GLP-1 medication, cravings, and the gap between losing weight and developing sustainable food habits. Kelly responds with a practical, judgment-free approach: honor where you are, identify what may be getting in the way, learn the flavors you enjoy, and build a small collection of ingredients and cooking techniques you can reuse.The conversation expands into emotional eating, nervous-system awareness, cooking with family, and the changing definition of success in midlife. Crystal and Kelly reflect on why a homemade meal, a slow cup of coffee, or meaningful time with your child can feel every bit as valuable as the business milestones many entrepreneurs spend years chasing.What You Will LearnHow Kelly uses customer language to name Our Rooted Kitchen and attract the right peopleWhy losing weight and changing your relationship with food are not necessarily the same processHow to begin improving food habits without attempting a complete lifestyle overhaulWhy learning your preferred flavors can make grocery shopping and home cooking easierHow Kelly's tic-tac-toe grocery map organizes nine broad whole-food categoriesWhy reusable pantry staples and a few basic cooking techniques can reduce food wasteHow stress, survival mode, and emotional rewards can affect the way people use foodWhy entrepreneurs may need to redefine success around health, relationships, gratitude, and daily lifeEpisode TimestampsTime | Topic00:00 Choosing gratitude and a life you love00:30 Welcome to the Simple and Smart SEO Show00:48 How customer language shaped Our Rooted Kitchen02:38 Crystal's relationship with food04:32 Where to start when cooking feels overwhelming06:31 Cooking at home without wasting money07:10 Kelly's tic-tac-toe grocery map09:51 Sugar, cravings, and changing food habits11:47 Food, stress, and the nervous system14:03 Redefining success beyond business growth16:42 Why Kelly chose printed cookbooks18:28 Where to find Kelly19:55 Kelly's sourdough starter kit20:41 Gratitude and goodbyeKey TakeawaysStart with your real life. A useful food plan must account for your schedule, current skills, preferences, and the support you may need.Use flavor as the entry point. Learning whether you prefer spicy, salty, creamy, briny, or other flavor profiles can make basic ingredients feel more appealing and reusable.Build skills instead of collecting recipes. Chopping, stovetop cooking, and baking can create a practical foundation for working with many different foods.Small successes rebuild self-trust. Repeating one manageable action can build confidence more effectively than expecting an immediate, complete transformation.Success can become more personal. Business growth matters, but health, family experiences, rest, and gratitude may become equally meaningful measures of a good life.Episode Highlights“You do it step by step, and you honor where you are.”“What are the flavors that you like? That's where we start.”“Don't start or end your day with sugar.”“We're allowed to have these experiences and still be boss women.”Listener Action StepsWrite down three meals or restaurant flavors you genuinely enjoy. Identify the seasonings, textures, or ingredients they have in common.Choose one versatile grain, one vegetable, and one protein to use in more than one meal this week.Practice one basic technique: chopping, cooking on the stovetop, or baking.Notice one moment when stress or exhaustion influences a food choice. Record it without judging yourself.Choose one non-business experience you want to treat as a meaningful measure of success this week.Resources and MentionsHealth Coach Kel: https://healthcoachkel.comOur Rooted Kitchen: Learn more through Health Coach Kel's website and social channelsAlive in Your Hands: Kelly's sourdough beginner journey and starter-kit guideSimple and Smart SEO: https://simpleandsmartseo.comAbout Kelly MillerKelly Miller, also known as Health Coach Kel, helps busy women build greater confidence and capacity around food, energy, and everyday life.

S8Ep 38 Expect the Unexpected!Untraditional Ideas for Junk Journals!
We're still surprised people did this but... 50+ founders worth $10M to $4B reveal their personal finances. Here it is: https://joinhampton.com/mw-wrWhy do we do this? Because if you're an aspirational person or someone who runs a business and is making money, it's incredibly challenging to figure out what to do. Information is impossible to find — and that's what we put together: the net worth reveal and why we do this podcast, Moneywise.He turned down $42M, lost a $70M deal to a war, and sold his company over WhatsApp instead.Ryan Levesque is the author of the #1 national bestseller Ask and the founder of the Ask Method Company, a seven-time Inc. 5000 business that did over $100M in revenue. He grew up blue collar, quit AIG in China the morning the Wall Street Journal said the company was going bankrupt, and built his first business selling Scrabble tile jewelry tutorials on Etsy. Then he tried to sell his company twice. The first buyer flipped a $42.5M deal to $17M at the eleventh hour. The second, a $70M offer, evaporated the week Russia invaded Ukraine. Today he sits on $30–35M in liquid net worth and runs a 150-acre farm in Vermont with his wife and two boys, where 80% of what his family eats comes off their own land.This is the longest Moneywise episode we've ever cut, and I barely interrupted. We go deep on the two failed exits, the life insurance rejection letter at age 30 that turned out to be organ failure, the photo of his sons that made him stop chasing the number, and what it actually costs to run a 150-acre farm (spoiler: free food runs about half a million a year). Ryan also breaks down the money curriculum he built for his kids, why $35M didn't feel like enough until he decided it was, and the honeybee epiphany that led to selling his company to his biggest competitor.Also, this podcast is made by Hampton, which is a community for founders doing on average $20 million a year in revenue. We saw a lot of these money conversations happening privately behind closed doors and we thought, "What the heck, let's make it public."

I loved this conversation I had recently with Seren Hawley-Plows following the release of her book The Ancient Ways - A Year of Folklore, Traditions and Rituals to Reconnect with Nature. Seren Hawley-Plows is a second generation new-age traveller who was raised as a hedgewitch, with a deep connection and love for the natural world. She was taught herbalism and ancient practices from an early age by her parents and their community, and spent much of her youth travelling around festivals, full moon gatherings, and attending ceremonies at sacred sites. She is now on a mission to reconnect people with the natural world, by demonstrating how using ancient practices and discovering forgotten knowledge can be beneficial on a journey to re-establishing our relationship to the land.
