Writing a book can feel endless. You start with so much excitement, and somewhere along the way, doubt creeps in. You question everything. You wonder if you'll ever actually finish. If that sounds familiar, you're in good company—every author hits that wall at some point. What matters is pushing through it. That's what turns a dream into something real you can share with the world. And finishing your book? It's just the beginning. Getting your book into the hands of readers—and making sure it works for you and your business—takes strategy, partnerships, and support. You don't have to do it all alone. With the right plan, your book can open doors, spark conversations, grow your brand, and create real business opportunities. That's exactly what I help authors do. Through my strategic book launch program, we focus on building real connections—conversations, media exposure, and growth that go way beyond just selling copies. If that sounds like something you're ready for, you can schedule a brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. Now, let's dive in! I'm excited to introduce our panelists, who are here to pull back the curtain and share what it's really like to be a business author. Christina Wedgwood wrote “Better: A more authentic path for the reluctant thought leader,” a refreshing call to action for thoughtful, authentic voices to step into leadership, showing that true influence comes not from being the loudest in the room, but from sharing your ideas with honesty, care, and courage. Christine Blosdale wrote “The Social Media and Branding Survival Guide: Digital Marketing So Irresistible, Even Your Ex Will Want To Follow You,” a bold, no-fluff playbook for building an irresistible online presence, turning casual followers into raving fans, and growing your business with authenticity, swagger, and unstoppable creativity. Helen Holton wrote “Intentional Leadership: How to Drive Leaders, Visions, and Teams Forward,” a powerful guide for leaders seeking to overcome burnout, strengthen resilience, and drive their teams forward by leading with greater purpose, clarity, and connection. Please join me in welcoming Christina, Christine, and Helen.  In this episode, we discuss the following:

What can we tell about a society from the plates, bowls and cups it uses? In this programme Ruth Alexander learns about the history of pottery, from early earthenware to the porcelain discovered by ancient China, known as ‘white gold'. Professor of archaeology, Joanita Vroom from Leiden University in the Netherlands explains why every pot has a story to tell. Historian Professor Suzanne Marchand from Louisiana State University in the United States picks up the story of porcelain in the 18th century. Such was its value that it prompted numerous failed attempts, theft and even imprisonment of those who knew the secret recipe. Ruth visits the Wedgwood factory and museum collection in North Staffordshire in the English Midlands. V&A curator Kate Turner explains how the company's founder, Josiah Wedgwood, changed dinnerware tastes once again – catering to an emerging consumer class looking for affordable ways to decorate their home. Ruth tours the factory and meets Emma Glynn, Creative Director of Wedgwood to discuss the challenges in today's market.

Does thought leadership belong only to bold personalities and charismatic speakers? Christina Wedgwood doesn't think so. In her book, "Better: A More Authentic Path for the Reluctant Thought Leader", Christina explores how deep thinkers, perfectionists, and even those uneasy about taking center stage can still powerfully shape ideas and conversations. In this conversation, Christina explains that thought leadership isn't about how loudly you speak—it's about clarity, simplicity, and authenticity. She argues that true impact comes from quiet, deliberate thinkers whose insights might otherwise go unnoticed. Christina reveals why "better" does not mean "louder," encouraging thought leaders to embrace their unique strengths rather than fitting into preconceived molds. Christina and Bill also delve into the emotional journey of creating thought leadership content. They discuss perfectionism and the common barrier of feeling "not ready yet," offering strategies to move past these hurdles and confidently share ideas. Christina emphasizes the importance of thinking partners—trusted individuals who challenge your thoughts and help refine your message. Drawing from her extensive experience coaching authors and developing thought leadership content, Christina shares valuable lessons from writing her own book. She reflects on the vulnerability required to bring deep, authentic ideas to an audience and provides insights into sustaining impactful thought leadership over time. Whether you're reluctant or ready to embrace your role, this episode offers practical advice for creating meaningful, enduring thought leadership. Three Key Takeaways: • Thought Leadership Isn't Only for Extroverts. Christina emphasizes that thought leadership isn't exclusive to big personalities who dominate stages. Her book, Better: A More Authentic Path for the Reluctant Thought Leader, opens doors for quieter, more introspective thinkers, perfectionists, and those hesitant to step into the spotlight, empowering them to share their meaningful ideas. • Better Does Not Equal Louder. Authentic and powerful thought leadership is not about being the loudest voice in the room. Instead, it's about clarity, simplicity, and genuine insight. Christina challenges the myth that louder equates to better, advocating instead for thoughtful reflection and deliberate expression as essential traits of true thought leadership. • Embrace Imperfection and Take Action. Many aspiring thought leaders delay sharing their ideas because they're waiting for perfection—one more book, another certification, or additional case studies. Christina advocates for getting your ideas out of your head and into the world, embracing vulnerability, and taking actionable steps even when conditions aren't "perfect." If you found our discussion on authentic thought leadership engaging, you might also appreciate our episode featuring Simon Leslie, CEO and Founder of Ink Global. In "An Authentic Voice in Thought Leadership," Simon shares how publishing his book, There Is No F in Sales, transformed his business and personal growth. He delves into the importance of using one's authentic voice in thought leadership and the unexpected opportunities that arise from it. Tune in to explore how embracing authenticity can amplify your impact in the thought leadership arena.

Neil Brownsword is one of the most intriguing – and uncompromising – ceramic artists currently practicing in the UK. His work is inspired by the de-industrialisation of his home city, Stoke-on-Trent, and, appropriately enough, his career in ceramics began when he worked as an apprentice in the Wedgwood factory as a 16 year old in the mid 1980s. Subsequently, he went on to study at the University of Cardiff and the Royal College of Art. Neil's research examines the manufacturing histories of North Staffordshire's ceramic industry, and the effects globalisation has had upon people, place and traditional skills in recent decades. Over the years, he has won numerous awards and exhibited across the globe, while at the same time maintaining an important career in education. He is currently a professor of ceramics at the University of Staffordshire.In this episode we talk about: his latest show at the Crafts Study Centre in Farnham, Surrey; historical copying in the ceramics industry; inducing failure; working at Wedgwood on a YTS scheme; being good at art in school; creating his early, sexually-charged pieces; not selling pots; why his work changed radically at the turn of the century; escaping the ‘stranglehold' of narrative; becoming ‘a post-industrial factory manager'; bridling against ‘factory tourism'; putting industrial artisans on a cultural platform; investigating the ‘marginalised potential of the past'; and why it's important to safeguard rather than preserve skill.Support the show

A lo largo de la historia los seres humanos han deseado capturar la realidad para inmortalizar un momento, el aspecto de una persona o el mundo que les rodea. Así nació la pintura, cuyos orígenes hay que buscarlos en el paleolítico. Pero la pintura tiene sus particularidades. Pasa por el tamiz del artista y que sea más o menos fidedigna depende de los consensos culturales de cada época y de la habilidad y el instrumental que emplee el pintor. En la pintura la imaginación juega un papel primordial, ya que se puede pintar lo que se desee. Es un modo un tanto libre de plasmar la realidad circundante y, como tal, puede estar sometido a todo tipo de alteraciones. El primer paso hacia la captura fiel del mundo exterior lo dio un químico alemán llamado Johann Heinrich Schulze a principios del siglo XVIII, en plena revolución científica. Schulze empleó una suspensión fotosensible para capturar imágenes temporales de letras, aunque sin conseguir conservarlas permanentemente. Décadas más tarde, y tras una serie de infructuosas pruebas, el británico Thomas Wedgwood intentó sin éxito fijar imágenes de manera permanente, creando fotogramas detallados pero efímeros. Schulze y Wedgwood habían conseguido la captura, pero no que ésta permaneciese. Los avances en la industria química permitieron al francés Nicéphore Niépce en 1826 fijar de forma indeleble la primera imagen captada por una cámara, aunque, eso sí, tras efectuar una exposición muy larga. Su colaboración con Louis Daguerre llevó al desarrollo del daguerrotipo en 1839, el primer método fotográfico comercialmente viable. Este proceso utilizaba una placa de plata yodada que reducía el tiempo de exposición a unos pocos minutos y ofrecía una claridad y detalle sin precedentes. Paralelamente, en Inglaterra, William Henry Fox Talbot inventó el calotipo, que permitía la creación de negativos de papel de los cuales se podían hacer múltiples copias positivas. Esto permitió abaratar el proceso y hacerlo más accesible. La competencia entre estos dos métodos iniciales impulsó más innovaciones, como el proceso de colodión en la década de 1850, que combinaba la calidad de imagen del daguerrotipo con la reproductibilidad del calotipo. La fotografía continuó evolucionando con la introducción de la película flexible por George Eastman en 1888 y su cámara Kodak, que democratizó la fotografía con un lema publicitario que decía "Usted presiona el botón, nosotros hacemos el resto". Este avance simplificó enormemente el proceso y, sobre todo, lo popularizó. A principios del siglo XX la fotografía se había convertido ya en algo muy común al alcance de prácticamente todo el mundo. Pero esas fotografías de los primeros tiempos eran en blanco y negro. Los seres humanos vemos en color por lo que aparecieron especialista en coloreado. Los químicos, entretanto, se concentraron en conseguir capturas en color, algo que consiguieron en 1907 con el proceso Autochrome de los hermanos Lumière. Las fotos en color eran costosas al principio. Hasta mediado el siglo XX no se popularizaron gracias a películas para el gran público como la Kodachrome y la Agfacolor. Esta tecnología permitió capturar y reproducir el mundo en todo su espectro cromático, expandiendo así las posibilidades artísticas y documentales de la fotografía, que para finales del siglo XX era ya omnipresente. Fue en ese momento cuando se produjo la revolución digital. Steven Sasson de Eastman Kodak creó el primer prototipo de cámara digital en 1975, dando comienzo a una transición que en unos años haría obsoletas las técnicas fotoquímicas tradicionales. La fotografía digital no solo permitió la edición y manipulación de imágenes de formas antes impensables, sino que extendió aún más la práctica, especialmente con la incorporación de cámaras en los teléfonos inteligentes y la conexión de estos a internet a principios del siglo XXI.

In recent years scientists have researched the phenomenon of Near Death Experiences (NDEs), and now have enough evidence to determine their validity. Dr Orson Wedgwood Ph.D., a medical scientist, walks us through this evidence, including research published up to end of 2023. In addition he discusses the common features reported by those who have experienced NDEs and what the implications are for the long term destiny of each human consciousness, or soul. As well as the positive aspects of NDEs so often described in other books and TV shows, Dr. Wedgwood also discusses the evidence suggesting that only 10-20% of souls survive death, and of those that do, not all are destined to reach heavenly realms. Is “Hell” real too? The good news is that NDE survivors provide us with guidance from their encounters with “God” or other “celestial beings”, on how we might safeguard the health of our souls to enable us to survive earthly death and reach the heavenly realm. It's all about Love. Put simply, reading this book, may prove vital to the eternal destiny of your soul.BioBorn in 1968 and now living in Sussex, England, I have spent my career in science. My undergraduate studies were in chemistry, and my PhD studies were in organic medicinal chemistry, during which I worked in a team that created a molecule that opened the door to a cure for Hepatitis C, as well as treatments for certain cancers, and HIV. In 1999, I began working in the pharmaceutical industry, for the first ten years helping to bring new drugs to market, and for the past ten years working alongside academic clinical investigators in designing, conducting, helping publish and interpreting clinical studies looking into the effects of exciting new compounds in diseases such as HIV, hematological malignancies, obesity, and, most recently, neurological disorders such as narcolepsy and Alzheimer's.As a medical scientist, I have become skilled in understanding, interpreting, and disseminating key findings from complex clinical studies, similar in some ways to the AWARE studies. It is a part of my day job to be able to critique scientific data and understand how design can affect outcomes, among other things. I also write a blog—awareofaware.com—exploring research into NDEs, which follows closely any developments in the AWARE studies. My blog focuses on the clinical data and the science. I also discuss possible “spiritual” implications that come out of the scientific research. In addition, I am the author of DNA: The Elephant in the Lab, a non-fiction book about the origin of life, and I also wrote the novel Deadly Medicine. Both are available in online bookstores.https://orsonw.com/https://www.amzn.com/dp/B08S43B83D/https://awareofaware.co/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlife

This episode is a repost from The Working On Purpose PodcastCapitalism comes in for criticism, despite the fact that this economic system has resulted in substantially increasing global per capita income over the centuries, spurring economic growth and progress. Critics often criticize a kind of Aberrant Capitalism, one that is dominated in their minds by corporations, whose behavior is not always meritorious. But from the earliest times, it was Customer Capitalism, not corporate capitalism, that was the driver of individual prosperity and thriving. Companies such as Wedgwood & Bentley of Wedgwood China fame (founded 1759) set the original precedents by prioritizing customer needs and innovation, laying the foundation for contemporary business practices. The advent of these corporations facilitated large-scale entrepreneurship, promoting innovation and efficient responses to customer demands.Entropy has set into the capitalist system since the founding days, and there is some corporate behavior that needs reform. Dr. Alise Cortez is attentive to these concerns.

Melancholy Wedgwood (MIT Press, 2024) is an experimental biography of the ceramics entrepreneur Josiah Wedgwood that reveals the tenuous relationship of eighteenth-century England to late-capitalist modernity. It traces the multiple strands in the life of the ceramic entrepreneur Josiah Wedgwood (1730–1795) to propose an alternative view of eighteenth-century England's tenuous relationship to our own lives and times, amid the ruins of late-capitalist modernity. Through intimate vignettes and essays, and in writing at turns funny, sharp, and pensive, Iris Moon chips away at the mythic image of Wedgwood as singular genius, business titan, and benevolent abolitionist, revealing an amorphous, fragile, and perhaps even shattered life. In the process the book goes so far as to dismantle certain entrenched social and economic assumptions, not least that the foundational myths of capitalism might not be quite so rosy after all, and instead induce a feeling that could only be characterized as blue. Iris Moon is Associate Curator in the European Sculpture and Decorative Arts Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She is the author of Luxury after the Terror and coeditor with Richard Taws of Time, Media, and Visuality in Post-Revolutionary France. She teaches at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. Rachel Pafe is a writer and researcher interested in modern Jewish thought, critical theories of mourning, and the boundaries of biographical writing. Learn more about your ad choices.

We don't know where you grew up or where you call home, but we're from Stoke-on-Trent. Oatcakes, Port Vale, the friendliest and funniest people on Earth. Northern Soul and the rave scene. Shelleys, Kinetic, and Golden. And, of course, Wedgwood and Brindley. Have you never heard of it? As a kid, we'd tell people we were from Manchester because everyone knows Manchester, and it's cool. But Stoke? Pah. We're ashamed to say we never sang its praises. But what did we know? We left Stoke for Manchester, seeking our fortune. But that was many years ago. And we've recently returned to the area. We see Stoke with fresh eyes now and proudly tell people that's where we're from. Funny enough, we weren't the only ones with this attitude. Stoke has an unfair reputation, which is absurd given its affectionately known as The Potteries – a creative city that creates art from dirt and is now named the World Capital of Ceramics. But despite its incredible industrial heritage, the local and national news just seems to spout negative stories, and everyone talks about its decline. But one person is hoping to change all that. Simon Davies is an industrial and product designer and co-founder of Protect-a-Pet, a company that sells his inventions worldwide, which help protect cats from the risk of free roaming. Si has big ambitions for the city. He is hugely passionate about the region and believes it's on the brink of a resurgence. A rebirth. Fed up with seeing a place in post-industrial decline and driving past derelict buildings each day on his way to work, he and some others have set up a Community Interest Company called The Teapot Factory to bring people together and drive change. He's also behind a 'netwalking' event called the Teapot Tours, the first of which was attended by a few Chamber of Commerce members and some local artists. The idea was to bring together creatives and business people, something Stoke is famous for. The walks are guided by a local history expert and end at a venue with an interesting speaker or poet. We wanted to find out more about a city with so much potential, a proud history, a talented workforce and a network of local creatives determined to make the Potteries legendary once more. This season is proudly sponsored by MPB, the largest global platform for buying, selling, and trading used photo and video equipment. Visit MPB.com to find out more.

Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...With Bonus Episodes released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus a range of exclusive content on Patreon, audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
