Freelance researcher and writer Alexandra Willis joins Crystal Orderson to unpack the rising global C-section rates and what they reveal about the medicalisation of birth. Drawing from Alexandra’s recent Daily Maverick article, the conversation explores how doulas are helping restore agency to birthing women in South Africa’s public health system where consent is often side-lined, and emotional support scarce. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions.

Il paraît que la folie, c'est de faire toujours la même chose en espérant des résultats différents… Alors, suis-je folle ? Dans cette Minute Marine, je te parle de ma communication autour du podcast. Je constate que ce que je fais actuellement – principalement des posts LinkedIn – ne fonctionne pas aussi bien que je le voudrais. Et pourtant… j'ai du mal à faire autrement. Pourquoi ce blocage ? Qu'est-ce qui m'empêche d'aller explorer d'autres canaux ? Je partage ici mes doutes, cette sensation de tourner en rond, et ce que ça dit de nous, solopreneurs, quand on a besoin de changer mais qu'on ne sait pas encore comment s'y prendre.

Tu suis des stratégies alignées.Tout a l'air parfait... Et pourtant, ça bloque.Et si le vrai problème…C'était pas ce que tu fais.Mais l'énergie dans laquelle tu fais les choses ?Dans cet épisode, je t'explique pourquoi ton besoin de contrôle est en réalité une mémoire de survie.Et comment il active un état de contraction énergétique qui bloque tes manifestations — même quand tu fais tout "comme il faut".On parle neurosciences, système nerveux, physique quantique, spiritualité…Mais toujours avec des mots simples, et des solutions concrètes à mettre en place pour retrouver ton flow intérieur.On va aussi passer de l'autre côté, à savoir...

Et comprendre aussi qu'il y a des moments où il faut lâcher prise.A la fin de l'épisode, tu sauras exactement sur quoi lâcher prise pour mieux booster ton business.

NOTED. (RELENTLESSLY)—When a company publishes a magazine, or at least an “editorial” product, for whatever reason, it is called custom publishing. I have a long editorial background in custom. And custom has a surprisingly long history itself.How long?John Deere started publishing The Furrow in 1895. The Michelin Star started as a form of custom content: what better way to sell tires to monied Parisians than by enticing them to take a drive to the countryside to try a great restaurant?Amex Publishing famously published Travel + Leisure among other titles for decades. That in-flight magazine you once enjoyed on your flight overseas? That, too, is custom publishing.Now, after some down years, custom publishing is leaning waaaaay into print again. Henrybuilt is an industry leader in designing and constructing well-built products and furnishings for the home. Henrybuilt is not, however, a company that you would think is screaming for a magazine.But the qualities that make a great magazine—attention to detail and craft, the curation of ideas, hard work—are the very qualities that have made Untapped, a “design journal that looks back to look forward.” Led by editor-in-chief Tiffany Jow, Untapped is a smart, well-designed magazine that avoids the pitfalls of most design journals in being free of jargon and thus accessible.With an enviable level of editorial freedom, Jow has created an editorial product that richly explores livable spaces and champions “ideas-driven work.” The result is a growing media entity across platforms independent of Henrybuilt while hewing closely to its brand. It's good stuff.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

Un peu d'auto-dérision, beaucoup de légèreté, et tout plein de bébêtes. Dans cette Minute Marine un peu WTF (et totalement improductive), je te parle… d'animaux totems. Oui, oui. Tout est parti d'un échange rigolo pour préparer la dernière édition la newsletter Le Club du Vendredi. J'ai demandé à mes copines clubbeuses de me dire quel animal représenterait leur posture d'entrepreneure. Et comme elles sont chics, elles ont joué le jeu. Moi aussi. Je t'explique pourquoi, si j'étais une bête, je serais une ocelot — et pourquoi, finalement, cette question n'est pas si idiote que ça. Et toi ?

“Les grands groupes ont des critères bien spécifiques, ils recherchent bien plus qu'une simple exécution des tâches. Ils recherchent vraiment une expertise pointue.” – Céline Le thème de ce nouvel épisode : comment rendre son profil attractif aux yeux des grands groupes quand on est freelance. ⚠️J'ai fait une petite erreur dans l'intro: chez Malt, il y a plus de 800 000 freelances référencés (et non 800). Céline est Community France Director chez Malt. Elle échange au quotidien avec des directions achats, des recruteurs et des freelances qui collaborent (ou cherche à collaborer) avec de grandes entreprises. Dans cette interview, elle explique ce qui fait la différence : une expertise bien définie, une offre lisible, une posture assumée, et un profil qui montre ce qu'on sait vraiment faire. Elle partage aussi les erreurs fréquentes (profil trop flou, mots vides, jargon RH…) et donne des conseils concrets pour se démarquer dans un environnement où les concurrents sont nombreux… mais pas toujours bien positionnés.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Amy Suto, author of the book The Nomad Detective. Amy Suto began her career as a Hollywood TV writer before hitting the road and becoming a digital nomad and freelance writer, which was the subject of her nonfiction book Six-Figure Freelance Writer: A Holistic Guide on Finding Freedom in Freelance. The Nomad Detective: Volume I is Amy's debut work of fiction, and marks the start of the book series following Detective Violet Chase. Amy runs a Substack newsletter called From the Desk of Amy Suto about how to carve your path as a working writer. When she's not writing, Amy travels the world and works remotely from cafes in Cusco, Peru—or is misplacing her AirPods in Lisbon, Portugal. You can learn more about Amy at: AmySuto.com. In my book review, I stated The Nomad Detective is the first in a mystery detective series. Violet Chase became a detective after her twin disappeared in Guatemala. Her ultimate goal is to take cases that might lead her to her sister. Violet isn't just any detective. After her sister's disappearance, she developed synesthesia - mixed up senses. She sees people's aura's as colors - and these colors have specific smells. She uses her synesthesia, a condition she hasn't shared with anyone, to capture the bad guys. This first volume is a collection of four stories that take us into various exotic locations where Violet works to find the killer. Readers learn more and more of Violet's history and discover, though the hero of the series, that Violet has many flaws and a not-so-pretty past. The more I learned, that more I routed for Violet to solve the current mystery - and to find her sister. Amy did a wonderful job with character development. She also left me wanting more. Without a doubt, I'll be ready when Volume 2 of the Nomad Detective is ready for readers!

Rediffusion d'un des épisodes les plus écoutés du Podcast du Marketing.Quand j'ai décidé de me lancer dans la formation en ligne, j'étais pleine d'énergie, ultra positive et motivée. Ca faisait des années que je travaillais en marketing, j'avais une solide expérience : dans des grosses boîtes, des petites, chez l'annonceur, en agence de pub, en local et l'international. Bref, j'avais l'expérience qu'il faut pour transmettre. Donc je me lance, toute confiante que j'étais faite pour ça. Oui, sauf que le marché de la formation, c'était un tout nouveau marché pour moi. Et la formation en ligne encore plus. Et même si j'avais de solides compétences dans mon domaine d'enseignement, c'est-à-dire le marketing, et bien j'ai vite compris que tout n'était pas si simple. Parce que la formation en ligne a ses codes, ses méthodes, ses outils, son réseau, ses médias. Bref, c'était un peu le brouillard.Mais j'ai pris un raccourci. Pour être opérationnelle très rapidement, challenger mes idées, et me sentir confiante dans ma pédagogie. Et ce raccourcis, c'est d'avoir un mentor. Personnellement je pense que ma mentor m'a fait gagner 2 ans sur le business de la formation. En fait, je ne suis même pas sûre que j'aurais continué si je n'avais pas eu ses conseils. Ma mentor à moi est américaine, elle s'appelle Amy Porterfield et c'est LA boss de la formation en ligne aux Etats-Unis. Autant vous dire qu'elle avait 2 ou 3 trucs à m'apprendre sur le sujet

This week on The Content Byte, we have something a little different, but hopefully still useful. This episode was originally recorded as part of Austin Church's Growth Without Burnout Summit held recently. This virtual event was inspiring and useful and featured speakers from all across the world talking about how to grow a thriving freelance business without burning out. As part of his amazing summit, Austin asked Rachel and I about our friendship and how and why we started this podcast. We first met Austin when he was the keynote speaker at the Content by Summit in 2024. We felt honoured and flattered that he asked us to be involved with his summit. It was a great chat so we thought we would share it with our listeners. It's almost our origin story. We talk about how a friendship-turned partnership evolved into a thriving podcast, the summit, and an unexpected SEO goldmine. From dividing tasks based on complementary strengths to navigating conflict without contracts, we share how we found success - and still remained friends. Connect with Austin L.

Ever wonder what it takes to manifest a completely different life—one rooted in authenticity, joy, and creative freedom?In this powerful Process episode, Cynthia, TBM's very own Content Creator, walks us through her transformation. In just a year and a half, Cynthia went from being a burnt-out corporate worker stuck in a cycle of overperformance and under-recognition to a thriving, aligned freelancer living a life of true abundance.Raised between Taiwan and the U.S., Cynthia internalized the belief that hard work—not self-expression—was the key to success. Despite rapid promotions and tripling her salary in a high-profile role, she found herself disconnected, anxious, and unfulfilled. Through the TBM work—DIs, expanders, nervous system regulation—Cynthia cleared space, followed pings rooted in joy, and unlocked dream opportunities like a long-term creative partnership with Amazon and eventually, her role at TBM.This episode is a must-listen if you've ever felt unseen in your career, afraid to step away from the “golden handcuffs,” or unsure how to live in alignment. Cynthia shares how choosing rest, joy, and authenticity—day by day—can radically shift your life. When you choose joy and ease over fear and performance, the life you're meant to live magnetically unfolds. And it's possible in the here and now.Find the Complete Show Notes Here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcastResources:SALE IS LIVE$22/monthJoin the Pathway MembershipJoin our membership to access the TBM Money Challenge -- Now Live!The Pathway Membership gives you unlimited access to all of our manifestation workshops—including How to Manifest, Unblocking Your Inner Child, Shadow, Love, Money, Rock Bottoms, Ruts, and Energetic Updates —plus 70+ self-hypnosis tracks designed to unlock your full potential.LEARN MORE HEREGet the latest from TBMJoin our Money Challenge - 3 weeks to your next level of abundanceTake our Free Money Quiz - find out what level of wealth consciousness you are atJoin the Pathway now to get full access to our Money Challenge when it launches June 2nd, 2025 – Join the Pathway (use code EXPANDED for 20% off first month)New to TBM?

THE SYSTEM WORKS—When I decided to launch this podcast back in 2019, it didn't take me long to realize that I didn't want to do it alone. The first person I called? Today's guest, Debra Bishop.I've known Deb a little bit for a long time, but well enough to know her insight, humor, and world view would elevate every conversation we'd have. But also, and more importantly, she is without question one of the most consequential editorial designers working today. Deb has helped define the visual and structural DNA of some of the most iconic media brands of the last few decades, from Martha Stewart's Blueprint, to More Magazine, and now, to The New York Times for Kids.What sets Deb apart is not just her eye, but her mind. She's a master of creating editorial systems—cohesive, flexible frameworks that hold entire magazines together, giving them both structure and soul. Her designs guide readers effortlessly, creating rhythm, clarity, and a sense of trust.Deb never overdesigns or distracts—she amplifies. Her layouts are confident, elegant, quietly powerful, and often these days, lots of fun. And as a leader and mentor, she's shaped not just magazines but careers. She's helped raise the standard for what editorial design can be, and what a creative partnership should look like.Deb makes everything better: the work, the process, the people around her. Her influence is everywhere—including on this podcast—and I feel incredibly lucky to call her a friend and colleague.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

Freelancers and digital strategists are always looking for smarter ways to serve clients, raise their rates, and avoid burnout from endless “done-for-you” work. If you've ever imagined charging $5,000 (or more) for just one day of high-impact strategy, this episode could be your guide.This week, I'm sharing how I transformed my freelance business by creating profitable VIP Days that highlight my strategic thinking—no more endless to-do lists. Just four focused hours working closely with clients and earning serious income. I'll walk you through my “Four P” framework so you can start offering premium VIP Days of your own.Topics Covered In This Episode:The Four P Framework: The structuring of a successful VIP day revolves around four key Ps—Promise, Prep, Provide, and Propel.Define a Clear Promise: The success of a VIP day starts with a clear, outcome-specific promise that the client will get by the end (e.g., a paid marketing plan ready for their next launch).Thorough Preparation Is Critical: Ensure you and your client are both prepped before the VIP day. This includes onboarding questionnaires and clear expectations in your contract.Set Strong Client Expectations: Clearly outline what the day will entail and what's needed from the client. Doing this can prevent both disappointment and scope creep.Client Interaction Is Key: Unlike some “behind the scenes” VIP days, strategist VIP days are highly interactive and collaborative with the client present the whole time.Propel Clients to Their Next Step: At the end of the VIP day, provide a clear plan and next steps, which often leads to additional consulting or implementation work (more revenue for you).Leverage VIP Days as an Upsell or Lead-In: Many clients will want to hire you for ongoing or done-for-you services after experiencing the value of your VIP day—making this not just a stand-alone offer but a business growth strategy.Find the full show notes at: https://brandimowles.com/254Loved This Episode?
