Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
Have a million subscription box ideas, but no idea which one to launch? You're not alone. So many aspiring subscription box owners get stuck right here. Spinning in indecision. Afraid to choose the “wrong” idea. And waiting for clarity that never comes. In this Friday Fuel episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm sharing a simple framework to help you move from overthinking to deciding. Because the truth is, clarity doesn't come from thinking harder. It comes from taking action. If you've been stuck in idea overload, this is the mindset reset you need. Instead of chasing the perfect idea: 1 – Acknowledge that “too many ideas” is a form of fear.Coming up with a long list of ideas feels productive. But really, it's a sneaky way to stay safe. You can't launch five boxes at once – and you don't need to. You just need to pick one. 2 – Use the 3 C's to filter your subscription box options.I walk you through a simple framework to help you evaluate your ideas and find the one with the clearest path forward. Choose the idea you can build momentum around now. 3 – Let go of the pressure to pick the perfect subscription box idea.Your first box doesn't have to be your forever box. It just has to be the one you start with. And the faster you start, the faster you learn. 4 – Make the decision and move forward.Action builds confidence. Once you've chosen your direction, commit. Focus on progress, not perfection. Your Friday Fuel Challenge: Pick ONE idea and talk about it this week. Share a post, send an email, or start building your waitlist around it.Because clarity follows action. And one focused idea is how you'll finally launch your box. Need help planning your first 6 boxes once you've picked your idea?Join my FREE 6 in 60 Workshop at 6in60workshop.com Join me in all the places: Facebook Instagram Launch Your Box with Sarah Website Are you ready for Launch Your Box?

You know about North Pole and the South Pole, where polar bears and penguins live. Have you heard of a third pole? West and south of the Tibetan Plateau, a mountainous area holds more glaciers than any place in the world outside the Arctic and Antarctic poles. This region has a special significance for fiber artists: it is the home and habitat of the goats that produce much of the world's cashmere. And as at the North and South Poles, climate change is threatening the animals and people who call this region home. To bring attention to the threat to glaciers in the region, engineer Sonam Wangchuk climbed into the Himalayas of in Ladakh, India, and carried back a 7 kilogram chunk of glacier. It began a journey across two continents, wrapped in 3 kilograms of cashmere, and finally arrived at the United Nations in New York. The UN has named 2025 the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation (https://www.un-glaciers.org/en), and Wangchuk's Travelling Glacier brought the threat of climate change to the world's door. The cashmere covering the sample not only insulated the ice, it also demonstrates what's at risk when glaciers melt. The animals and people living in these regions depend on glaciers for water; when the glaciers melt too abruptly, the overflow of water sweeps away whole villages and cities in devastating floods. Stories of people and animals on other continents can seem remote, abstract, and hopeless, but joining in the movement to preserve this important resource can be as near as your fingertips. Long Thread Media is joining with Wild Fibers to sponsor the Cashmere on Ice Contest (https://cashmere.longthreadmedia.com/), which invites fiber artists to make a project containing cashmere. Projects can be wearable or decorative; a special category highlights fiber grown in the Ladakh region from which Wangchuk sourced his Travelling Glacier. In this episode, celebrated storyteller and wild fiber expert Linda Cortright shares details about why she cares passionately about this crisis and what fiber artists can do to help the cause. Learn about the contest (https://cashmere.longthreadmedia.com/) and find an FAQ (https://spinoffmagazine.com/a-fiber-contest-with-global-impact) for more details. Discover the Wild Fibers (https://www.wildfibersmagazine.com/cashmereonice) resource page. Hear about the effects of glacial melt in another high-elevation fiber-producing region: the Andes.

When Tom Knisely decided to buy his first item in an antique shop, he had two strokes of luck: the spinning wheel that he chose included all the parts needed to make yarn, and he lived not far from the landmark weaving store The Mannings. There, he learned to spin and eventually to weave. Enamored with the crafts, he got a job at the store there as a teenager and eventually built a career there over 37 years. That love of antiques led Tom to accumulate a collection of historic coverlets and rag rugs, along with knowledge about the old techniques used to make such durable textiles. Students often turn to Tom to learn such traditional skills as rag-rug weaving, working with linen from plant to fabric, and weaving with counterbalance looms. Through these antique rugs and coverlets, he traces the legacy of the weavers before him—those who pursued a life in weaving centuries ago. His nine books and ten videos explore contemporary and historic techniques, structures, and tools. As much as his knowledge, Tom's patience, enthusiasm, and warmth draw students to his classes. Named Handwoven Teacher of the Year, he loves helping students—from children who watch his living history demonstrations to dedicated weavers—develop their skills and love of spinning and weaving. His longest-lasting teaching relationship has been with Sara C. Bixler, one of his daughters, who took up the mantle to become a weaving teacher and designer herself. “I think we have an obligation to get out there and promote what we do,” he says. “You'd be surprised how much it means to other people to see this. But I guarantee you, you'll come home with stories that are far greater than what you have put out. It's a real reward.” Links Read about bumper looms in “Never Say Never” (Little Looms Spring 2025 (https://shop.longthreadmedia.com/products/easy-weaving-with-little-looms-spring-2025)) and “Never Say Never Again” (Little Looms Summer 2025 (https://shop.longthreadmedia.com/products/easy-weaving-with-little-looms-summer-2025).

(https://shop.longthreadmedia.com/search?q=tom+knisely) Tom teaches frequently at his daughter Sara C. Bixler's shop, Red Stone Glen (https://redstoneglen.com/), in York, Pennsylvania. Cracker Country (https://www.crackercountry.org/) is a living history museum in Tampa, Florida, where Tom and his wife often demonstrate spinning and weaving.

In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox sits down with John Purdy, co-founder of Ergo and a seasoned leader who has helped shape the Irish tech landscape over the past three decades. From launching Ergo in 1993 with just a handful of people to scaling it into one of Ireland's top IT services companies, John shares the highs, the hard decisions, and the philosophies that guided him through it all. John shares a rare behind-the-scenes look at how he scaled Ergo without external investment and spun out an eventual unicorn, Fenergo, along the way. He opens up about the emotional and strategic decision to step away as CEO after 28 years, and what he's doing now to give back—both to founders and to causes close to his heart. If you're building a business or figuring out what comes after success, this is the playbook. Show Notes: In this episode, we cover:

Maybe it is us but it seems there is a new term being used in the world almost every single week. This is true this week with the term “unbossing” which means something different to businesses than it does to workers. Basically workers no longer want to work in management roles, for a variety of reasons. Dan and Nicole both share personal stories that fall into this world. Have you ever visited a restaurant or store that is located near a high school, particularly when that high school has a lunch break or when it ends for the day? There is a McDonald's in Virginia that has a new 21 and over policy because of the behavior of the kids from a nearby school. Nicole and Dan discuss and talk about how scary kids can be. And finally, road rage has taken a turn (pun intended) and you will never believe what happened when a woman got mad and lost her shit. You can watch the (somewhat graphic) video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJFKE4eOjlk/ Nicole sent this to Dan but did not tell him what it was about.

Dear Spinning Circle,Today. On Wool n' Spinning Radio. Rebecca and I were so pleased to be able to record this episode with Lisa Schweitzer, a pillar and leader in our community. For those who haven't met Lisa yet, she is a weaver, handspinner, knitter and maker, long-time member of the Wool n' Spinning community and lives in a remote area of Iowa, USA. Lisa is an eloquant speaker and I hope you enjoy our conversation about making in remote locations. Both Rebecca and Lisa live in remote areas, without many urban amenities, guilds and makers within their immediate neighbourhoods.We started our conversation today with sharing what we are working on and then moved into a discussion about making in isolation. Lisa touches on why she makes and continues to share her makes. Because we recognize that many in our community make in many different types of isolation - whether physical, due to disability, remote locations, and many more factors, we wanted to discuss what this means when much of our interactions occur online versus in real life. Does this affect our making and how so?If you have questions about what we discussed in today's episode, please post them in the community, either as part of the Slack channel (available through Patreon) or on the Ravelry group, Wool n' Spinning.Patreon Post hereOf course, we would love to welcome you to our community.

She completes the meditation with her poem, "In the Habitable Zone".In the Habitable Zone, by Julie PotikerI let the thought settle—dew on my skin—120 light years from my morning coffee,a world, more than eight times biggerthan Earth, orbits a red dwarf star.Spinning steadily in what scientists callthe habitable zone.It could be a Hycean world, coveredin water so deep it forgets land.And maybe, just maybe, tiny beingsfloat there like Earth planktonreleasing dimethyl sulfide intoan atmosphere the stirs with methane,each molecule , a question flung towardus by the James Webb's patient lens.Science says: 99.7 percent confidence.Still, let's be careful. There are otherpaths that mimic life. But I want to exhalewonder. Let awe arise like phytoplanktonbasking in the sun.

We all have weeks where the work is nonstop – emails, meetings, socials, admin – only to end the week with the thought, “What did I ACTUALLY accomplish?” In this episode, we're diving into WHY we get stuck in that exhausting cycle of busyness that feels productive but doesn't actually move our business forward. We'll look at the hidden mindset block (hello perfectionism, people-pleasing, and visibility blocks) that hold us back, and learn the planning system I use to make consistent and FOCUSED progress. This episode is about working SMARTER, staying aligned with your vision, and finally giving yourself permission to prioritise the things that matter most… without guilt. What You'll Learn in the Episode: -> Why your never-ending to-do list isn't a true sign of productivity -> The hidden fears that keep women business owners stuck in busy work -> How perfectionism and fear of visibility can quietly sabotage your progress -> The difference between HARD work and high-impact work -> Why guilt shows up when you finally start focusing on what matters -> A simple planning system to align your daily actions with your big-picture vision -> How to DEFINE what meaningful progress really looks like in your business -> The mindset shift that helps you delegate and let go of control -> The importance of creating space for yourself, and not just your tasks and to-dos Mentioned in This Episode: HerBusiness Network: https://her-business.lpages.co/request-an-invitation/?utm_source=Website&utm_medium=General&utm_campaign=membership-waitlist Justine Kirk - ISO Matters https://isomatters.com.au/ Episode 297 - 7 Signs It Is Time to Ditch a Product or Service https://herbusiness.com/podcast/7-signs-it-is-time-to-ditch-a-product-or-service/

Hello and welcome to episode 95 of the Still Spinning Podcast, this week with a visual screen share for those who watch the video. More on that in a bit. This episode was recorded on 4/20 which means it was Easter AND 4/20. A double holiday for sure. There was a space flight this past week that got a lot of attention and the podcast would be remiss not to give it attention as well. 5 famous ladies went up into space and got a lot of flak. Dan agrees with most of the flak being unwarranted BUT there was one big issue he brought to the table and that is the fact that the flight was called “Making Space for Women.” Listen in to hear his biggest issue with this. There is something out there called “Flight Theory” and it is creating some havoc in the travel community. The idea is you can arrive 15 minutes before boarding and just breeze onto your flight. Well, you can imagine Dan and Nicole have some thoughts on that. They also share their travel timing and tips on TSA precheck.(the tip is you should have it) A woman took to the internet to get feedback on her letting her kid eat snacks they had not yet paid for while grocery shopping and the internet had a LOT to say about it. And so do the podcasters! We chat about the idea of even doing this as well as some hidden “grossness” within the idea of it. Speaking of gross, there is a new research team working on lab-grown chicken and it is GROSS. We share the story, and some images, of the meat and the process. It is not necessarily a new idea BUT this piece of chicken is the biggest one they have grown so far. Did I mention it looks (and sounds) gross?? All of this and more on this week's episode! Check out our website at stillspinningpodcast.com for even more fun ways to support the podcast, get some merch and even listen to “old” episodes. Thanks so much for joining us!

In this episode of The Sophisticated Ratchet Podcast, the crew dives deep into the emotional rollercoaster of "spinning the block"—aka giving an ex another shot. The tribe keeps it raw and relatable as they share personal stories of rekindled romances, from vacation flings to unresolved heartbreaks. The squad dissects the red flags of revisiting old flames, like whether family apologies matter in reconciliation or if unresolved issues are just time bombs waiting to go off. They also spill on the subtle signs that an ex might be trying to creep back into your life—are they genuinely interested or just bored? The conversation heats up with celebrity comparisons, analyzing high-profile rekindled romances like Ben Affleck & JLo's love story versus Ashanti & Nelly's unexpected reunion. Are these fairytale endings proof that love deserves a second chance, or cautionary tales about repeating past mistakes? But it's not all about love—things get spicy when the crew debates body counts, physical attraction, and deal breakers in relationships. Plus, they get creative with business ideas inspired by relationships and wrap it all up with their signature “Ratchet Fire” game, where no topic is off-limits. Whether you're considering spinning the block with your ex or firmly leaving them in the past, this episode is packed with hilarious anecdotes, sharp insights, and thought-provoking takes that'll make you rethink love and second chances. We want to hear from you! Do you have a topic request, a question, or want to be a guest? Hit us up at SophisticatedlyRatchet@gmail.com LISTEN, FOLLOW, AND RATE

If this is how she is funding her custom made Valentino gown than wrap that synthetic chemical algorithm acid all over my face.

You're lying in bed. Your body is exhausted, but your mind is replaying things you wish you'd said in a conversation earlier that day, rehearsing conversations that haven't even happened, or mentally writing tomorrow's to-do list. Sound familiar? You're not broken. You're not alone. And you're not powerless.

A haunting image of an unnamed Native child and a recovered story of the American West In 1868, celebrated Civil War photographer Alexander Gardner traveled to Fort Laramie to document the federal government's treaty negotiations with the Lakota and other tribes of the northern plains. Gardner, known for his iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln and his visceral pictures of the Confederate dead at Antietam, posed six federal peace commissioners with a young Native girl wrapped in a blanket. The hand-labeled prints carefully name each of the men, but the girl is never identified. As The Girl in the Middle: A Recovered History of the American West (Princeton University Press, 2025) goes in search of her, it draws readers into the entangled lives of the photographer and his subjects. Martha A. Sandweiss paints a riveting portrait of the turbulent age of Reconstruction and westward expansion. She follows Gardner from his birthplace in Scotland to the American frontier, as his dreams of a utopian future across the Atlantic fall to pieces. She recounts the lives of William S. Harney, a slave-owning Union general who earned the Lakota name “Woman Killer,” and Samuel F. Tappan, an abolitionist who led the investigation into the Sand Creek massacre. And she identifies Sophie Mousseau, the girl in Gardner's photograph, whose life swerved in unexpected directions as American settlers pushed into Indian Country and the federal government confined Native peoples to reservations. Spinning a spellbinding historical tale from a single enigmatic image, The Girl in the Middle reveals how the American nation grappled with what kind of country it would be as it expanded westward in the aftermath of the Civil War. Martha A. Sandweiss is professor emerita of history at Princeton University, where she is founding director of the Princeton & Slavery Project. Caleb Zakarin is editor at the New Books Network.
