To find out, I spoke with Lauren Currie OBE, Founder of UPFRONT, a global organisation upskilling 10 million women. Teams at Nike and Just Eat Takeaway have enrolled their teams in UPFRONT's Bond course to transform their team culture.Keep listening to hear Lauren's advice on developing resilience in sales & when to acknowledge you should probably cut your losses. Lauren's advice:Your energy is vital to running a business, so manage itAvoid those people who drain your energy and seek out those who replenish itMarketing equals revenue - the more you do, the more returns you will haveAccept the loneliness of the founder, which can be hardBe comfortable and confident about your pricingAlso, be very clear about your pricing so the customer doesn't have to work hard to find itWhen a potential client or customer approaches you for the first time, always ask them how they found youGet them to say yes or no as soon as possible!  Don't spend a long time courting a potential customer - move on to find someone newMake life easy for your clients: for example, don't let them have to work out time differencesDon't take rejection personally!If you need to make a customer more comfortable, include an older white man face in a callNurture yourself and your energy before you decide to quit: are you tired?

In today's episode, I'm joined by Emma and Kenny, the co-founders of HipPop — a gut-friendly drinks brand that's shaking up the soft drinks aisle. While many might have pigeonholed their product as just kombucha, Emma and Kenny have taken a bold and intentional route: positioning HipPop as a go-to soft drinks brand, not a wellness niche.We talk about what it takes to enter a new market, how branding beyond a product category can be a superpower, and why really listening to your customer is key. From humble beginnings in a farmhouse to securing shelf space in major retailers, their story is packed with practical insight for anyone launching into a crowded space.Emma & Kenny's advice:Test your products locally, in small independent businessesPublicise your ingredients and the provenance of the productTry to work within a representative area of the UKLook for a gap in the marketIf you have a personal reason for setting up the brand, people will love to hear itAfter rigorous testing, and building a local reputation, move on to website and Facebook marketingGradually approach bigger retailers (you will have to be dogged - and original - in pursuing buyers)When you scale, bring in people to cover the skills you don't haveAs you expand distribution, it's important to build relationships with the new people you are dealing with; go slowly and patientlyFF&M enables you to own your own PR & produces podcasts.Recorded, edited & published by Juliet Fallowfield, 2024 MD & Founder of PR & Communications consultancy for startups Fallow, Field & Mason.  Email us at hello@fallowfieldmason.com or DM us on instagram @fallowfieldmason. FF&M recommends: LastPass the password-keeping site that syncs between devices.Google Workspace is brilliant for small businessesBuzzsprout podcast 'how to' & hosting directoryCanva has proved invaluable for creating all the social media assets and audio bites.MUSIC CREDIT Funk Game Loop by Kevin MacLeod.  Link &  LicenceText us your questions for future founders.

Building a direct-to-consumer (DTC) brand offers an incredible opportunity to connect with customers and foster long-term brand loyalty. But while the rewards can be significant, so too are the challenges and barriers to entry. That's why I wanted to speak with someone who has successfully navigated this journey for our season focus on sales.From modest beginnings in a Shoreditch coffee shop in 2011, David Abrahamovitch has built Grind into one of the UK's leading DTC coffee brands. Having built a hugely loyal customer base, it's estimated a Grind coffee is enjoyed every 2.8 seconds in the UK. David's business has also grown through partnerships with the likes of British Airways & Soho House. Keep listening to hear David's advice on how to build a DTC brand & how to leverage community-building to generate sales. David's advice:Accept that everything is sales; sell to yourself constantlyWith every small sale you are building a following and a brandPitching your product should not worry you; you know more than anyone else about it, so you have nothing to fearAlways know your numbers; but also tell the story of the history of the brand, and your plans for its futureBe optimistic - but not delusional!DTC is more work in that you have to have a website / attract people to that website / and  deal with the packaging and the postingWhereas  selling through a retailer you only need to advertise the productBUT DTC gives you access to customers' data and allows you to build a relationship with themSo selling through both the above is perhaps optimalAdvertising is essential for DTC selling - Facebook / Instagram / email / tube car panels are all useful; expect to spend up to 30% of revenue on marketing which will be a constant burdenRetaining customers is everything; the product must be a good oneIf customers unsubscribe, find out why so that you can fix the problemUse AI to help with small repetitive edits, not to replace people, just to speed up what they doIn order to attract young talent, create a culture that they will understand and like; always be thoughtful with your team and make sure they understand their job, their position and the company missionFF&M enables you to own your own PR & produces podcasts.Recorded, edited & published by Juliet Fallowfield, 2024 MD & Founder of PR & Communications consultancy for startups Fallow, Field & Mason.  Email us at hello@fallowfieldmason.com or DM us on instagram @fallowfieldmason. FF&M recommends: Buzzsprout podcast 'how to' & hosting directoryCanva has proved invaluable for creating all the social media assets and audio bites.MUSIC CREDIT Funk Game Loop by Kevin MacLeod.  Link &  LicenceText us your questions for future founders.

Starting a business is a huge effort, but scaling it to new heights takes a great deal of skill. So, I wanted to hear from a serial founder who has not only grown and scaled a multi-million-pound business, but also decided to start from scratch and do it again.Guy Blaskey founded healthy pet food business Pooch & Mutt in 2007. Having scaled it to £30 million in sales, he sold the business in 2023 for £11.5 million. Since then, Guy has founded Detrash to upcycle waste products into high quality watches.  Keep listening to hear Guy's advice on what he learnt about a sales strategy, selling a business & why laying the operational foundations is one of the most important things you can do. Guy's advice: Think about how you can do things differentlyDon't spend too long on your business plan; get going and make a plan afterwardsIf you need a retailer, remember it's less about the product (and less about you) and more about what makes your buyer's life easy: filling a gap in their range, price point etc.  Think about themAlways think about your customer and how you can help them achieve a resultIt takes time and rigour - and some failures - to get everything right and become a strong businessYou need a strong understanding of the finances; it's not just about the brandBudget properly; predict sales and follow throughDon't overfund early on; if you start small you can track the money and see what works and what doesn'tProduce the product and get going with a small budget before considering looking for VCMarketing and distribution channels are quite as important as the productWork on your business rather than in your business; in other words, delegate the knowablesFF&M enables you to own your own PR & produces podcasts.Recorded, edited & published by Juliet Fallowfield, 2023 MD & Founder of PR & Communications consultancy for startups Fallow, Field & Mason.  Email us at hello@fallowfieldmason.com or DM us on instagram @fallowfieldmason.

Carl Anderson is a singer-songwriter from Virginia. His song swirls around like that plastic bag in the scene from American Beauty. A surprising unassuming clandestine charm that catches you unawares and then settles at your feet until the wind kicks up again. I have been a fan of his ever since we played a show together at the Bluebird in Nashville maybe like seven years ago. The way he sings is like no one else. You have to hear it for yourself (in this episode, you will).I'm so excited he's part of this show we're doing in a few weeks, at the Five Spot in East Nashville. Saturday February 15th. Carl is sharing some music, as is next week's guest, Abby Jane. Then I'll play a set with my new band, and then we're going to screen a world-premiere of the music video for my new song Meet Me at the End of the World, directed by MCP alum Mila Vilaplana. Throughout, Ryan Rado, who was on the pod a few weeks ago, is doing some live immersive painting. It's gonna be a great night and I'm very excited. If you live in Nashville here is a link for tickets.I've started making a new effort here on the podcast, which is to insert chapters into the YouTube video. For you it makes it easier to see the contours and compartments of the conversation (see below). For me it requires I listen back through the entire talk, which makes me reflect on what we discussed and whether it was worth it. So I know what I'm saying when I say this was a truly insightful and dare I say FUN conversation with a person for whom art's calling occupies a central position. Carl is serious about songmaking and unserious about its purpose. That is to say he holds the sacred cows lightly in his hand and only pets them when they ask. I am reminded that so much of the value in any conversation lay in its style, and not just its substance.We play a song together, his original, Separate Ways. Listen to the way he sings.Carl talks about what got him started on the creative path, his love for dancing, the pleasure of watching bad acting, Bob Dylan as the original troll, his in-and-out habit of fitness and its relationship to creativity, the strange and healthy beauty of having a job outside the industry.I share a little as well. What happened when I moved to Nashville twenty years ago. Why I burst into tears last week on my couch watching Fred Again's Tiny Desk Concert. How being yourself gives everyone else permission to be themselves too.Carl Anderson is a real one of one. I hope this conversation makes you want to finish the song you're working on.

This unique devotional urges a three-day digital fast, creating space to find God in silence and simplicity.

What's it like to hunt along ancient hedgerows and stone fences older than America? This episode fellow writer Phil Massaro and I share stories about hunting wild, free-range Fallow deer, Roe Deer, and Muntjac through medieval forests in England.  In the UK on assignment with Savage Arms, we had the opportunity to hunt with and share meals with legendary hunter, wild game chef and restaraunteur Mike Robinson, host of Farming The Wild on MOTV, and his exceptional crew. Savage just rolled out a new rifle model, and we put it through it's paces and discuss it's characteristics, along with the 6.5 Creedmooor and 6.5 PRC's performance on Fallow deer.  This was an adventure for the ages, folks!

All dry, brown, cut down to earth as far as the eye could see. One might think that nothing was going on in those fields; but you'd be wrong. Those fields are fallow.Fallow land remains unplanted for a time. Fallow land is land left to rest, regenerate, pause. It allows the soil of a field to replenish nutrients.Story Prompt: I'm taking this FallBattical time to rest, renew, recover, and grow. What about you? How will you become fertile soil again? Write that story.  You're always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe and spread the word with a generous 5-star review and comment - it helps us all - and join us next time!Meanwhile, stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website to:✓ Check out Services I Offer https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net/services/,✓ For a no-obligation conversation about your communication challenges, get in touch with me today✓ Stay current with Diane as “Wyzga on Words” on Substack and on LinkedInStories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer's Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicAll content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.
