In this episode, Tina Tower welcomes entrepreneur, strategist, and storyteller Michelle Falzon to discuss how you can unlock your best creative work without getting burnt out. With over 20 years' experience catalyzing ideas into sustainable, soul-aligned success, Michelle shares insights from her signature “Creation Loop” framework—designed to help passionate business owners and creators strike a balance between serving their clients, delivering quality work, and sustaining their own wellbeing. Key Topics Covered: Michelle's Journey: From supporting multi-million dollar launches behind the scenes to stepping out front with her own ideas. The Creation Loop: Michelle breaks down her five-part framework—Saturate, Percolate, Create, Celebrate, Rejuvenate—that helps creators avoid the cycle of constant output and burnout. Maintaining Creativity in a Busy World: How to protect your signal (your true vision) from the daily “noise” and distractions of business. Boundaries and People Pleasing: Why women especially struggle with saying no, and how working on personal boundaries is an ongoing process. The Power of Self-Compassion: Practical tools, including the RAIN process (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) for being kinder to yourself through the ups and downs of business. Sustainable Scheduling: The importance of allowing time to percolate (think and process) between absorbing information and executing, plus how celebration and genuine rest fuel creativity. Perfectionism vs. Progress: Why taking action before everything is “ready” is crucial, especially for women prone to over-preparing. Trusting Intuition: How to build trust in your gut instincts and natural creative rhythms, letting go of what you think you “should” do. Defining Success: Michelle closes by sharing her outlook on true success—freedom, love, relationships, and staying connected to the simple joys of life. This conversation is a powerful reminder that your most meaningful creative work doesn't come from pushing harder, but from aligning deeply with who you are and what matters most. By embracing frameworks like the Creation Loop, you can sustainably grow your business while honoring your wellbeing, intuition, and joy.

This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to successfully merge and integrate two distinct SaaS companies while balancing stakeholder interests, maintaining growth, and navigating complex market dynamics. My guest is Randy Wootton, CEO of Maxio. Randy is a serial CEO. Before becoming CEO, he held senior positions at industry giants like Microsoft and Salesforce, where he led sales, service, and marketing teams. His career has given him a truly global outlook. He has worked internationally, opening up divisions in England and Australia, and has hired teams across multiple countries, including France, the UK, the US, Japan, and Australia. In March 2015 he moved to Rocket Fuel, a first-generation AI company. He started as their CRO, quickly turned CEO, and took the company private 2 years later. He then became the CEO of Percolate, where he led the company's transformation from a mid-market social media product to an industry-leading content marketing platform.  And now, since May 2022, he is the CEO of Maxio, a billing and finance operations platform for B2B SaaS companies. Their mission: to help its customers amplify their recurring revenue and decipher their next stage of growth. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Randy to my podcast. He provides invaluable insights for B2B SaaS CEOs navigating growth and mergers by sharing candid experiences from this process. He discusses his strategic decision-making frameworks and highlights the challenges of brand management post-merger and the complexities of transitioning from sales-led to product-led growth. He also zooms into the complexities of expanding into new markets and how to go about that. He ends with advice on fostering innovation, managing stakeholder expectations, and personal development.  Here's one of his quotes As you think about your expansion strategy and your growth agenda, there's going to be a set of things you're just going to grow within your current segment. But then you're going to think about which category we should explore next. But as you start, you've got to get really clear about what you do better than anyone else. During this interview, you will learn four things: The four key support pillars for B2B SaaS CEOs. How to go about merging distinct company cultures so the business becomes stronger and keeps delivering on growth expectations. What he would have done differently if he could deal with the branding opportunity again. His framework for evaluating expansion opportunities to find the next area of growth for the company.

‘The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes…More to be desired are they than gold…sweeter also than honey…by them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer' (v.7-8, 10-14 NKJV). This prayer shows that the psalmist thought of meditation as an absolute necessity to his spiritual life. That was true for him in his day, and it's just as vital for us today. We need to bathe our minds each day in the waters of God's Word so that our words and our thoughts are pleasing to Him. We can use any scrap of time we have – the start of the day, at break time, during lunch, travelling home, before falling asleep at night – to reflect on the truth of God's Word. The process of meditating on the Scriptures – just letting the Word of God filter and percolate through our minds and into our lives – can bring about immense changes within us. The most effective Bible reading doesn't call for snapshots, but for long exposures.

Bible meditation is different from meditation as we know it in other areas of society and the world. Some non-Christian philosophies would describe meditation as an emptying of your mind, which is the exact opposite of what the Bible teaches us. Bible meditation means filling your mind with the truth that God has revealed. Imagine the pressures and problems, demands and decisions that David, as a king, faced each day. But he said, ‘Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.' We spend a lot of time doing mundane things like queueing in a shop, waiting for our computers to finish an update, waiting on hold when we have to call a company or a busy office, or travelling. That's not to say these tasks aren't necessary - all of them need to be done. But try this: make an estimate of how much time you spent yesterday on activities like these. Multiply that number by seven for a weekly total. Now multiply that by 52 to get an idea of how much time you spend on them in a whole year. It's probably a surprising amount! Is there a way we could use that time more efficiently? All of those tasks listed above (and you can probably think of more like them) actually give us a great opportunity to grow spiritually and mentally. All we need to do is to choose a Scripture to think about while we're waiting! The Bible says, ‘For as he thinks in his heart, so is he' (Proverbs 23:7 NKJV). So let's seize every opportunity to turn our minds to God's Word!

Bible meditation can be difficult for us to start, because we live in an instantaneous society, and a preoccupied society. We have so much stuff coming at us from TV, our phones, emails, texts, social media, 24-hour news feeds, and podcasts that it can feel like we hardly have a moment to reflect. But spiritual maturity doesn't come instantly. We need to take time with God's Word. That's why the Scriptures speak so often about meditation. God, the author of the Bible, gave Joshua the formula for true, godly success: ‘This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth [speak the Scriptures every chance you get], but you shall meditate on it [when?] day and night, so that you may be careful to do [not just know, but do!] according to all [you can't pick and choose] that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will achieve success' (v.8 NASB). Notice the words ‘you will make'. That means it won't just happen, we need to actively do something. And that's to meditate on God's Word every day! When was the last time you consciously reflected on a Bible truth or principle? If you can't remember, start making some changes straight away. Get a portion of Scripture in your mind in the morning as you start your day. Think about it when you take a break. And reflect on it as you're winding down for bedtime. Paul told Timothy: ‘Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all' (1 Timothy 4:15 NKJV). And that's still a great rule to follow!

Let's take this meditate-percolate idea a step further. (If you're a tea drinker, you can substitute the word ‘brew' if you prefer!) Rather than feeling overwhelmed by the thought that we don't have the time or the discipline, there's nothing wrong with easing yourself into meditation. It's not a case of ‘give it your all or do nothing at all'. Take small steps. If you only have ten minutes to spare, make every one of them count. You don't have to read ten chapters of your Bible – it's not like doing a book report for school, and you're not going to be tested. Read this verse and it will help you: ‘But the word of the Lord was to them, “precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little”' (v.13 NKJV). Whether you have ten minutes or ten hours, God's Word is so rich with detail and truth that you can take one phrase, or even one idea, and let it percolate and brew in your mind. Instead of watching TV or constantly scrolling through social media, just sit still with your favourite comforting hot drink, and let God's Spirit within you interpret, enlarge, and enrich His Word as you turn it over in your mind. Think about it during your journey home, or over lunch, or during a break. Some days you'll feel like you've hit the jackpot spiritually; other days you'll just feel like you've added a little more to your basic Bible knowledge. Sometimes you'll feel like you're coming away with nothing particularly new, but an idea that you may have forgotten has been reaffirmed. The key is consistency – do this for one year, and you'll end up with 365 scriptural insights to draw on. Just imagine the difference that could make!

Meditating in Scripture is one of the best ways we can grow spiritually. In Psalm 1, David wrote, ‘In His law he meditates day and night' (Psalm 1:2 NKJV). But meditation can seem a daunting task. We might imagine super-religious people spending hours on end sitting perfectly still with serious faces as they think serious thoughts. Or we might think of incredibly clever people who come up with some brilliant new insight every time they take a moment to reflect. Neither of those pictures is particularly inviting – how on earth could we compare? We admire the people who can do it, but we come to the conclusion that He certainly hasn't called us or given us the skills to do it. Or we think meditation is a discipline that needs hours of uninterrupted time, and time is the one thing we don't have to spare. So we end up living busy but spiritually barren lives. Some people might think that meditation is a fine thing, but there are too many other areas of spiritual growth and character development to work on first. The main problem is that we don't understand what it means to meditate, or the rich benefits it will give us. A spoon of instant coffee is okay if you just want the basic taste of coffee. But if you want more – if you want to enjoy the flavours of the coffee in all their richness – you have to let it percolate. So, we could paraphrase the Scripture this way: ‘In His law he percolates day and night.' That's the idea Paul was trying to get across: ‘Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.' Today, enjoy the aroma, taste the flavour, and experience the strength.

"The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart." Ps 19:8 NKJV"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes...More to be desired are they than gold...sweeter also than honey...by them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors?Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer" This prayer shows that the psalmist regarded meditation as an utter necessity to his spiritual life.And if that was true for him in his day, how much more vital is it for you today! You need to bathe your mind each day in the waters of God's Word so that your words and your thoughts are pleasing in His sight. Use your time-the start of the day, at coffee break, during your lunchtime, riding home from work, before falling asleep at night-to reflect upon the truth of God's Word. The greatest changes in your life will come through the process of meditating on the Scriptures-just letting the Word of God filter and percolate through your mind and into your life. First-class Bible reading calls not for snapshots but for timed exposures.You need to bathe vour mind each dav in theSupport the show

"You shall meditate on it day and night." Jos 1:8Bible meditation has fallen out of favor. Why?Because we live in an instantaneous society, and a preoccupied society. We have so much stuff coming at us from TV, cell phones, email, texts, snail mail, satellite links, cable news feeds, and podcasts that we hardly have a moment to react--much less reflect. Get real! You can't "download" spiritual maturity by hitting a few keys on a computer. That's why the Scriptures speak so often about meditation.God, the author of the Bible, gave Joshua the formula for succeeding in your career and prospering in whatever you put your hand to: "This Book of the law shall not depart from your mouth [speak the Scriptures every chance you get], but you shall meditate on it [when?] day and night, so that you may be careful to do [not just know, but do!] according to all [you can't pick and choose] that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success" (v. 8NAS). Note the words "you will make." To succeed in life, you must do something. Do what? Meditate in God's Word! How often? "Day and night." So what portion of Scripture were you thinking about this morning as you started your day? Or while driving to and from work? For that matter, when was the last time you conscious v reflected on any Bible truth or principle? If you can't remember, start making some changes right away. Paul told Timothy: "Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that vour progress mav be evident to all" (1Ti 4:15NKJV). And that's still the rule!Support the show

RAW SILK is the alias of best pals Grace and Steph, an ode to one of their favourite 80's boogie groups. After meeting & spending one glorious year of dance in Melbourne in 2016, back in London these two continue voyaging to all four corners of electronic music. What began as a monthly party in Peckham has now led to DJing across the globe & in their hometown, recently with a residency at Heavenly home The Social. Grace has worked at record shops Plug Seven & The BBE Store, and alongside Steph's work in production, RAW SILK are becoming known as eclectic selectors that play across the board. They know how to add in a few surprises and always keep you moving. Grace and Steph have been residents for much-loved London boogie crew Percolate since 2017, and recently saw them go back to back with the SB team at our new home in Tola, Peckham.

When something is said to rise to the top through a filter is said to percolate to the surface.

Percolating is not just for coffee ;) Your business ideas can also benefit from a bit of percolation, and by that I mean some time and space to develop — before you run headlong into action. BUT... when is percolating actually procrastination? And how can we as playful business owners percolate on our ideas... productively? Is that even possible?These are some of the ideas I'm discussing in today's podcast. Why? Because I've been doing a lot of percolating myself over the last few weeks. Listen in to hear how this has changed my approach to publishing my book, producing this podcast, and balancing life and business.I also share how I'm percolating productively — I hope you'll pick up some ideas for your own business. It's easy to slip into procrastination mode when you percolate on an idea for too long; however, with the right intentions and structures, you can get so much value out of a period of percolation. In fact, I believe it's often far more productive to percolate on an idea than rushing headlong into action that's not aligned with you or the season of life you're in. Here are links to some of the people and resources I mention in the podcast:Rowena Mabbott, (my) Business and Life Confidence Coach (who uses the term "percolate" with me all the time and who also is taking a sabbatical over the Australian summer holidays to do some percolating of her own — walking the talk!). The Lazy Genius Way, by Kendra AdachiMore info on Bullet Journaling (remember to keep it simple and start small!).Connect with me, Shelley Tonkin Smith@shelleysmithcreative on Instagram.On my website, shelleysmithcreative.com.Got a question about this episode?

Experiments in the life sciences, taxi technology and bike sharing are helping regular people do DIY scientific research and transform the way they get around.  This week on New Tech City, reporter Jessica Gould visits Genspace, a community biotech lab in Brooklyn where lay people can extract genes from strawberries, sequence DNA and play Bill Nye the Science Guy for a few hours.  "The benefits of having a garage biology or amateur biology movement grow are that you get people thinking outside the box," said Art Caplan, a bioethicist at New York University. Meanwhile, New Tech City producer Dan Tucker tests out a new model for bike share with no docks, no kiosks, just bikes. Unlike New York's Citibike program, tech startup Social Bicycles makes a self-locking bike with a bevy of tech-savvy features like GPS location and social media capability.  "What we've done is put the communications technology onto the bike," said Social Bicycles co-founder Ryan Rzepecki.  Also on this week's show, this is the first summer when New Yorkers can "e-hail" a taxi with a smartphone app like Uber or Hailo, and so far, it's caught on with only a very small slice of the population. During June, the first month the apps were allowed, less that one-quarter of one percent of taxi rides originated with an e-hail. When the data came out last week, New Tech City host Manoush Zomorodi tweeted: "Old habits die hard. New Yorkers still prefer to hail cabs by hand." When Stacy-Marie Ishmael, product manager at the social media startup Percolate, tweeted back "Brown people disagree," New Tech City called her up to hear her story.  "One of the advantages of these kinds of apps is they remove the uncertainty that you face that a cab driver will pass you by because they're profiling you based on how you look," Ishmael said. This is an extended podcast of New Tech City. You can listen to the broadcast version every Wednesday morning at 5:50 and 7:50 a.m. on WNYC 93.9 FM, AM 820 and New Jersey Public Radio or subscribe to the program on iTunes.
