Origami as you've never seen it before... Artist Sarah Hunter has designed giant origami light-shade installations from her photographs of her much-loved childhood stomping ground on Hawke's Bay's remote Porangahau coast. Detailed photographs of the light shades will sit inside illuminated boxes, complete with a soundtrack of sounds from the area in a series of works she called EMOH - that's "Home" backwards. Sarah has collaborated on the project with origami artist Juliet Black, musician Thomas Voyce from the Wellington band Rhombus, and tamariki at her old school. The Department of Conservation chose Sarah for one of their Wild Creations residencies, where artists are invited to create work that offers Kiwis a different perspective on our motu, our country. Lynn Freeman asked Sarah about her whanau's long association with the Porangahau coast, and Thomas about putting the landscape to music. Sarah Hunter and Thomas Voyce's EMOH installation runs over Labour Day Weekend at Porangahau Memorial Hall, opening Thursday October 21 until Saturday October 23. EMOH relocates to on Sunday October 24 to Porangahau Country Club with a bonus DJ set by Rhombus Sound System.

In episode 70 of Fresh Tracks I speak with entrepreneur and author Rhett Power. Rhett shares his personal journey building a multi-million-dollar business and offers insights into how he continued on despite the appearance of repeated failure. Forced to analyze what was holding his company back, Rhett got the ‘big order’ of his life and quickly realized it would take more than a few quick fixes to transform his company into a success. Rhett shares how his positive relationships with his vendors and others is what helped him and his partner take their company to one of Inc. Magazine’s 500 Fastest Growing Companies two years in a row. Rhett tells us how the struggle building a company defined who he is today and why he doesn’t go into a venture with a plan B. Part of his key to success is knowing and following his own tolerance level. For Rhett this meant knowing when to not give up and go back to the safe, secure corporate job he had and continue to work on his business. Finally, Rhett shares the importance of having a personal mission statement and what you may learn by creating your own.

According to Power, we are operating in a society defined by instant gratification (think status updates on social media and quick online ordering). We expect immediate results in our daily life, yet find ourselves surprised when quick fixes in the workplace fail to produce lasting change. Power makes the compelling case that success in todays increasingly competitive business environment requires far more than the typical “10 easy steps.” During the course of our interview with Power, he strongly encourages entrepreneurs and leaders to take action daily to break old habits, think in new ways, and to develop a successful new mindset with strategic thinking.     Stream the conversation with Rhett Power in the player below to learn more.

Forming good habits is not nearly as easy as it sounds. So often, we set high goals for ourselves and then are quickly discouraged when we can't immediately meet them. Instead of making huge, overwhelming goals, we can instead create small action steps to take every day and re-make our habits. Rhett Power knows just what it means to make changes and find success, one day at a time. Rhett Power co-founded of Wild Creations toy company in 2007. By 2010 Wild Creations was the fastest growing business in South Carolina, and named Blue Ribbon Top 75 US Company by the US Chamber of Commerce. The Wild Creations team has won over 40 toy innovation awards. In 2015 Rhett was named one of world's top business bloggers. He is also an international speaker, an executive coach, a writer for Inc. and Success Magazines, and the author of the Entrepreneur's Book of Actions and One Million Frogs, both about his experiences founding and running companies. THE MOTHER WARRIOR “I think most of our enemies are ourselves.”-Rhett Power Highlights - Small successes build on themselves and are a motivator to keep working through challenges. Learn to say no with a smile. Write your passions down in a personal mission statement. Small habits and continuous exercises can keep you from falling back into the same negative cycle. Don't let go of your positive action steps. Take time to work on the business, not at the business. When you go into something with an exit strategy, you go in thinking about failure. People have to know you need help before they show up to lend a hand. Don't be too proud to say you're struggling. Don't let your mood control you. Control your mood. Have someone in your life who can pull your head out of the business and keep you mentally healthy.
