FREE Master Class: The Farm Marketing Fix Sign Up HERE Can you really build a profitable farm business while homeschooling, caring for family, and working from a small homestead? Jen Collins proves you can. In this episode of The Profitable Mindset Podcast, host Charlotte Smith sits down with client Jen Collins, owner of The Collins Cluckery in southeast Michigan. Jen raises pastured poultry and is launching farm classes—all from just a few acres. When Jen joined Farm Marketing Mastery nine months ago, she was selling chickens to friends and family and treating her farm "like a business" rather than running an actual business. She didn't have a marketing plan, struggled with confidence, and felt overwhelmed by where to start. Fast forward to today: Jen has grown her email list from 37 to 71 subscribers, increased annual sales from $4,000 to over $10,000 (a 127% increase), and developed the confidence to call herself a farmer and business owner. In this conversation, Jen gets real about the discomfort of putting herself out there, asking for email addresses, handling unsubscribes, and collecting payment from difficult customers. She also shares how tracking where her customers come from (church, a chiropractor's office, word of mouth) helped her focus her marketing efforts. If you're a woman over 40 wondering whether it's too late to start something new, or a small farmer unsure how to turn your hobby into income, this episode is for you. Click HERE and Let's Meet! Chat with us to see if Farm Marketing Mastery can break you out of marketing misery.
The sports card space keeps growing. Prices rise. Products multiply. New companies enter every month.Some collectors say the hobby is gone. Replaced by an industry.In this episode, Brett argues it can be both. And explains why the difference matters more than ever in 2026.He shares why 2025 was his best year collecting. Why research is the strongest edge collectors have. Why niche content strengthens the hobby. Why not all one of ones are equal. And why the top of the funnel for new collectors is failing.This is a collector-first perspective on what needs to be protected, what needs to change, and what needs to be built if this hobby is going to last.If you care about cards. If you care about staying power. If you care about doing this the right way.This episode is for you.Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
In times of stress, many people turn to hobbies. Science shows there are reasons (and benefits) to this, but turns out, women don't have as much time for them. Not only that, our hobbies are often questioned, in one way or another. We look into why and share our own hobbies in this classic episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the first flagship episode of 2026, Stacking Slabs explores how curiosity shapes conviction in collecting. The episode centers on a missed card. A 2020 Crown Royale Tyrese Haliburton Crystal Platinum 1/1. The loss was not about price. It was about timing and understanding.As the research deepened, interest turned into attachment. Learning changed how the card was viewed and why it mattered.This episode examines the difference between hype and conviction. Borrowed excitement versus earned belief. It challenges the idea that desire starts with price or scarcity. Instead, it argues that understanding creates confidence. The conversation invites collectors to slow down.To research with intention. And to build collections that reflect who they are, not what is trending.If a card has ever meant more after its story was understood, this episode speaks directly to that experience.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Jodi Silverman's personal journey began with the realization of an impending empty nest as her children prepared to leave home. Finding herself with a significant amount of free time, Jodi recognized that her current work in her print business was not fulfilling. Her decision to remain open to new opportunities led her to a business opportunity in direct sales, which eventually sparked her passion for personal development and coaching. Through facing her own fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs, Jodi discovered her ability to inspire and guide other midlife women. This transformative experience culminated in the creation of her DARE Method, aimed at helping women to embrace their new freedom, rediscover their passions, and live fulfilling lives beyond motherhood. What You Will Hear in This Episode: 02:03 Jodi's Personal Journey and Realizations 04:15 Overcoming Limiting Beliefs and Fears 08:35 Creating a Business from Personal Growth 12:00 Common Challenges of the Empty Nest 13:23 Navigating Friendships After Children Leave Home 14:25 The Dual Identity of Working Moms 15:01 Overcoming Fear and Doubt in New Beginnings 16:13 The DARE Method: Deciding and Awakening 18:14 Rediscovering Old Passions and Hobbies 20:57 Volunteering for Fulfillment and Connection 23:02 Midlife Transformation and Personal Growth 25:27 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Quotes " Women often find their purpose in the process of overcoming their own challenges. " " Daring became my platform, which simply means step outta your comfort zone and try something to see what happens." " As a mom, it's very easy to have your identity be 100% wrapped up in that of motherhood." " Don't be stingy. Yes, the world needs you."

In this episode, we share our honest reactions and thoughts on Zootopia 2, breaking it down from both an entertainment perspective and through the lens of reptile keepers. We talk about what the movie gets right, what made us pause, and how films like this can influence public perception of animals and the hobby.Then we reflect back on our 2025 vision boards—what actually happened, what surprised us, what didn't pan out, and how our goals shifted throughout the year.To wrap things up, we react to some niche (and sometimes unhinged) 2026 New Year's resolutions, sharing our takes on which ones are realistic, which ones we secretly love, and which ones might be setting people up for chaos.Get early access to episodes: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-wild-type-podcast/subscribeFollow the podcast: - https://www.instagram.com/thewildtypepodcast/- https://www.tiktok.com/@thewildtypepodcast- Merch: https://the-wild-type-podcast-llc-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow Neptune the Chameleon:- https://www.youtube.com/c/NeptunetheChameleon/- http://instagram.com/neptunethechameleon- https://tiktok.com/@neptunethechameleon- http://facebook.com/neptunethechameleon- https://www.neptunethechameleon.comFollow Lyssa's Lizards:- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmZaN6Q4yOt1j36J0-Ml6LQ- https://www.instagram.com/lyssaslizards- https://www.tiktok.com/@lyssaslizards- https://m.facebook.com/p/Lyssas-Lizards-100064470381677/- https://www.lyssaslizards.comSponsors:- https://www.pangeareptile.com/wildtype- https://coldbloodedcaffeine.com/- https://symtonbsf.com/- https://reptilekages.com/

They talk about rhythms, spiritual practices, the hunger they see in women across both Opendoor campuses, and the transformative moments happening inside Spiritual Courses and Small Groups.If you're stepping into 2026 wanting deeper connection, a renewed faith, and a clearer sense of what God is saying in your season, this episode gives you practical encouragement and a clear path to start.Perfect for women pursuing spiritual growth, Christian community, emotional health, and intentional living.Get the monthly women's text: Text “renew” to 45000Send your stories, questions, or feedback: renew@opendoorchurch.comConnect with the Renew Podcast community: opendoorchurch.comChapters0:00 Welcome to Episode 621:01 Reflecting on the New Year3:22 Top Episodes of 20258:40 Why Women Are Hungry for God's Word11:00 Soul Care and Emotional Health14:25 What's Coming in 202616:40 Living with Intention20:50 Monthly Women's Text and How to Join25:10 Sharing Stories, Prayer, and Community28:50 Hearing God in Silent Seasons32:20 Guests and Resources Coming This Year35:10 Conference and Why It Matters38:40 Small Groups, Hobbies, and Making Space41:55 Spiritual Courses: Testimonies and Impact47:30 Reclaiming Spiritual Disciplines52:12 Community at the Table56:14 When Obedience Looks Small1:00:22 Simplifying Intentionality1:03:10 Your Yes and Your No1:05:30 Final Encouragement and How to Connect

Its a tale as old as time... A card sells for a ton. People immediately look for what's next and they jump on the next best thing. That move - more often than not- ends up being a mistake.
This isn't the usual New Year's episode about planning, vision boards, and big 2026 goals. Instead, Karen looks at - what happens when you actually need to do less – and how that can be the key to building a more robust perfume or creative business that doesn't burn you out. She talks honestly about overcommitting (including with AI‑fuelled planning), why she's simplifying her offers and pressing pause on some things and how she's re‑shaping her work around the life she is actually living. If you're tired of the constant hustle but still want your business to thrive, this episode is perfect. To continue to get access to new content from Karen in 2026, sign up for her newsletter by going here - https://www.karengilbert.co.uk. KEY TAKEAWAYS ● Be honest about how much work you can handle. ● Your creative energy naturally rises and falls. Accept that, go with the flow, and stop beating yourself up about not getting absolutely everything done. ● Our culture says, “new year, new you,” but winter is a season of rest and introspection, so it's okay if big goals don't feel realistic right now. It´s OK to set new goals in other months too. ● Drop things that drain you without generating true benefits. Ask yourself do I have to do this now, or is it just another shiny object or something that is fun and distracts you from doing the more boring things? ● Don´t try to run on empty - Make time to refuel. Hobbies, time with family and friends, travel, learning new skills, exercise and other things that light you up, all top up your creative energy. BEST MOMENTS “I am planning on actually doing less this year on purpose.” “Creativity is not something that you can just like squeeze out. You have to let it flow" “Really tap into you and how you work best – that is going to keep you in this for the long-term.” EPISODE LINKS: Bulgaria Perfume Workshop: https://www.roseoverdose.com/perfume-plants-of-bulgaria IAO Awards: https://thegoldenpears.com/home In Person Classes: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/studio-classes Previous New Year episodes - https://podcasts.apple.com/mt/podcast/reflections-for-growth-learning-from-2024-to-build/id1693602939?i=1000682798977 and https://podcasts.apple.com/es/podcast/making-the-most-of-2024/id1693602939?i=1000640841400 VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/studio-classes https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/materials-mastery Getting Started Guide: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/podcast-getting-started-guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/artisan-perfumery-mastermind Website: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher, and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way.

What really happens when you close the laptop for the last time and step into retirement? In this candid episode, I sit down with my friend Lynda Camire, who recently retired from a long-standing career in finance with the Canadian government. She may not have had a retirement party, but she does have a lot of honest insights about what happens when the structure of the 9-to-5 disappears. Lynda shares how she planned her retirement, and how that plan didn't include just how bored she'd be in the first few days. From wandering into her home office out of habit to watching the clock like she was still on the job, Lynda's story is a refreshing reminder that even a well-planned retirement can feel disorienting at first. We talk about: The emotional surprise of Day One in retirement What happens when there's no daily agenda Struggles with identity when you no longer say “I work for…” Learning how to stop watching the clock Her passion for cooking and possibly turning it into something more Travel dreams that are still on the horizon Why “if you're unsure about retirement, you're probably not ready”Whether you're counting down the days to your own retirement or already in it and wondering “what now?”, this episode offers a real, grounded perspective on navigating the unknown with a little humour, honesty, and Thai food.Links & Resources:Lynda's episode is part of our ongoing season focusing on Mental Health, Enjoyment, and Personal Growth in retirement.Know someone struggling with the early days of retirement?

We all make resolutions. What are yours? My hobby resolutions- with a caveat.. I am going to let myself break one!
This episode I talk about my hobby plan for success over the next 7 months leading up to The National. When to buy & grade. What I'll be selling month by month and a list of shows I'll be attending and setting up at. SCL S7E47
We kick off 2026 with Leighton Sheldon and Paul Hickey, and we go straight into the real stuff collectors are feeling right now: the hobby is bigger than ever, the content and event volume is getting overwhelming, and card shows are evolving fast. We dig into the Strongsville changes, the “curtain” concept, the rise of niche shows, and the growing tension around sports and TCG sharing the same floor space. Paul also shares early market observations that are starting to feel a little like 2021, and we talk through what it means if more new people keep entering the hobby. In this episode: 2025 hobby takeaways and why 2026 is almost guaranteed to surprise us The “too much intake” problem: content, auctions, card shows, and burnout risk Strongsville's shift and the big question: can the hobby support another vintage only show? Where would a new vintage show even fit on the calendar? Sports vs TCG at shows: when “just walk past it” stops being realistic Why niche events and niche businesses keep winning Paul's early pricing notes and what they might signal about demand Follow the show and leave a rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts Take the Hobby Spectrum assessment at HobbySpectrum.com and get your access code After you take it, opt into the Spectrum Directory and add your links Follow Leighton Sheldon and Just Collect, and check out Trading Card Therapy and The Vintage Spotlight Learn more about your ad choices.

Zum Jahresanfang sprechen wir über sogenannte "Grandma Hobbies". Tätigkeiten, die unsere Omas gern ausgeübt haben, die oft belächelt wurden und dabei erstaunlich viel nutzen. Stricken, Handarbeit, Kochen, Spazierengehen...Dinge, bei denen die Hände beschäftigt sind und der Kopf frei wird. Tätigkeiten, die offline stattfinden, rhythmisch sind, meditativ wirken und am Ende sogar etwas Konkretes hinterlassen. In einer Welt, in der wir ständig auf Bildschirme starren und kaum noch Abstand gewinnen, werden genau solche Hobbys wieder wichtiger. Sie helfen beim Denken, beim Runterkommen und beim sich selber Sortieren. Sie sind leise, nützlich und überraschend widerständig, außerdem sind super in Sachen Nachhaltigkeit und Gemeinschaftlichkeit. Warum wir diese Hobbys neu bewerten sollten, was sie mit Selbstregulation, Konzentration und einem anderen Umgang mit Zeit zu tun haben, sprechen wir in der neuen Folge. Hört rein!

The cards that earned their place.Each one forced a decision. Each one required sacrifice.

The conversation focuses on timing, relationships, negotiation, and why one of ones continue to matter at this stage of his collecting journey.This episode is about collecting with intention.

Stronger conviction.For collectors who care about why they buy, not only what they buy.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Is there something in your life that you do — with some sort of regularity, and without direct compensation — that you find tremendously satisfying? Something you do just because you like it? CONGRATS, YOU HAVE A HOBBY. And here at Culture Study, we love to talk about hobbies — how to find them, how to keep them, and how to deal with the seemingly ceaseless push to monetize them. Listeners have been asking for a hobby episode for years, so for the New Year, we asked two great hobbyists — Doree Shafrir and Elise Hu, of the beloved podcast Forever35 — to come on and answer all your hobby questions, including: How do I find time to hobby when I'm a parent? How do I figure out my hobbies now that I finally have time to myself? How do I keep myself from BUYING ALL THE STUFF every time I find a new hobby? How do I keep a hobby from becoming a chore? We can't wait to hear your own thoughts on these questions in the comments. ALSO GUESS WHAT, WE HAVE VERY GOOD EPISODES TRANSCRIPTS NOW!

The Part of the Business We Avoid I don't know many actors who got into this work because they love paperwork. Money. Invoices. Contracts. Admin. I avoid this side of the business not because I think it's beneath me, but because it makes me uncomfortable. It forces me to look closely. At numbers. At patterns. At choices I've postponed. And lately, I've been reminded how common that is. Why Admin Creates So Much Anxiety I've had several conversations recently with actors who are genuinely scared of the financial side of their career. Taxes coming up. Receipts scattered. Invoices unpaid. Contracts sitting unread in inboxes. Avoiding it feels easier than facing it. It feels responsible. I'll deal with it later. When I have more energy. When I feel more prepared. But avoidance doesn't stay neutral. It compounds. What Avoidance Actually Costs The longer we don't look, the bigger it feels. Money becomes emotional. Following up feels confrontational. Rates feel uncertain. Admin starts to feel like proof that we're "bad at business." None of that is about talent. It's about fear. Clarity, even when it's uncomfortable, is kinder than avoidance. What Being Professional Really Means This episode isn't about becoming an accountant or loving spreadsheets. It's about becoming available. Available to book work without panic. Available to follow up without guilt. Available to understand where your money is coming from and where it's going. Being organized doesn't make you less creative. It gives your nervous system a break. What I'm Practicing Right Now Smaller steps. Looking at the last few months instead of everything at once. Canceling subscriptions I forgot about. Sending invoice reminders before they're overdue so they don't turn emotional. Treating admin like maintenance, not a personal failure. It's quieter this way. A Question I'm Sitting With If my business were actually supporting me instead of stressing me out, how would my work feel different? That question changes how I approach this part of the job. You don't need to fix everything at once. You just need to stop pretending this part doesn't matter. If this episode brought something up for you and you want to share it, you can always email me at mandy@actingbusinessbootcamp.com . I love hearing where things clicked and where they still feel sticky. And if you want to know when the next class or training is coming up, keep an eye on your inbox. There's more support on the way.

Welcome back to Bri Books — the podcast that educates, encourages, and inspires by exploring ideas both on and off the page. Today's episode is about winter lixfestyle favorites: the soft hobbies, rituals, and everyday comforts that carried me through 2025 and that I'm intentionally bringing with me into 2026. You've heard a lot about the "soft life" and the "soft girl era." I want to offer a reframing: your grandmother may be the softest woman you know. Softness isn't new. It's inherited. It's practiced. It's slow. If you're new to the show, leave a review of Bri Books on Apple Podcasts, and listen to Bri Books on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Please tell me where you're traveling to by using #bribooks on Instagram and subscribe to the Bri Books newsletter at bribookspod.com/newsletter. This episode isn't about hustle or optimization. It's about winter evenings, quiet joy, and choosing process over productivity. Last winter, I noticed myself reaching less for outcomes and more for ways of being — warmth, texture, ritual, and time that felt expansive rather than efficient. These are the lifestyle favorites that came out of that season and are staying with me. 1. Embroidery Embroidery is the ultimate soft hobby. It's tactile, forgiving, and slow in the best way. You can pick it up for ten minutes or lose an entire evening to it. Best of all, you always have something to show for your time: a few stitches, a pattern emerging, a garment mended. It requires no screens, very little space, and pairs beautifully with audiobooks, podcasts, or quiet TV. On dark winter nights, embroidery feels deeply grounding. 2. Popcorn From the Cob This was a surprise favorite of 2025. Popping kernels directly off a dried corn cob feels old-fashioned and ceremonial. It turns a snack into an event. Pop it on the stove, finish with butter and flaky salt, and eat while reading or watching snow fall. It's nostalgic, humbling, and cozy: and it happens fast enough that it asks for your full attention. 3. Candle Making & Light as Ritual I've been making candles for years, but winter 2025 made it a true ritual. Choosing the scent, wax, and vessel is an act of intention. I make candles in batches early in the season and burn them slowly throughout winter so my home smells familiar and grounding. In long, dark months, light matters. So start making your candles. 4. Gardening (Even in Winter) Gardening doesn't stop in winter; it changes form. Winter gardening looks like planning, seed sorting, journaling, and tending indoor plants. It's a reminder that growth doesn't always look active. Winter is when I reflect on what I want to grow — literally and metaphorically — in the year ahead. 5. A New Duvet from Culver One of my most meaningful upgrades of 2025 was investing in better sleep. A Cultiver linen duvet changed how winter nights felt. Linen regulates temperature beautifully, feels lived-in, and makes your bed feel like a destination. When nights are long, rest should feel intentional. 6. A Beautiful Cup from Jinen This may sound small, but it isn't. A really good cup changes how you experience mornings. Texture matters. Weight matters. A ceramic or natural-finish cup slows you down and makes tea or coffee feel ceremonial. Winter mornings deserve softness. This cup from Jinen porcelain Hasami cup has become my absolute favorite porcelain cup for everyday use. 7. Instant Pot (and Instant Pot Culture) In 2025, I leaned into comfort cooking: soups, stews, beans, and broths. The Instant Pot makes nourishment accessible without urgency. Batch cooking on Sundays meant weekday dinners felt cared for instead of chaotic. 8. Farmers Markets (Even in Winter) Winter farmers markets are quieter, more intentional, and deeply communal. Root vegetables, bread, eggs, preserves. Shopping local in winter feels like an act of care — a reminder that provision exists in every season, just in different forms. 9. Painting Painting returned to my life without pressure to be good. Winter painting is about mood, texture, and emotion — not outcome. Paint in low light. Let it be messy. Let it exist just for you. 10. New Boots & a New Coat A good pair of winter boots grounds you — literally. Practical, wearable winter clothing makes cold weather feel intentional instead of inconvenient. Winter style should support your life, not complicate it. These favorites aren't about consumption. They're about attention. Soft hobbies teach us to stay. Winter rituals remind us we're allowed to move slowly. As we head into 2026, I'm choosing warmth, intention, and creativity — and leaving urgency behind.
