Structure can set you free with Dirk Bischof

The Happy Startup School ·

2020/03/30

I’ve learned from talking to coaches and business owners, and also reflecting on my own experiences, that the biggest obstacle to growing a business is the founder. Our beliefs and values, without proper examination, can stop us from making the best decisions for our businesses. In this conversation with Dirk Bischof I learn about how his passion for stories and his drive to understand himself have helped him grow as an entrepreneur. In particular I found fascinating the tension between his need

Finding your voice with Matt Matheson

The Happy Startup School ·

2020/02/28

Podcasting and vlogging are great low cost ways to get your message out to the world. If you’re a purpose-driven entrepreneur being able to share your story and activate people who want to join your mission is fundamentally important. I think of the work of Marshal Ganz and particularly his principle of story of self, story of us and story of now. Check out Seth Godin’s take on this idea and how it’s important for marketeers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he1Vji1n8z0. Even though telling your

Venture capital and vulnerability with Haje Kamps

The Happy Startup School ·

2020/02/28

This is the last episode of 2019 and a bit of a milestone for me. The podcast started in February as a bit of an experiment and I'm proud to have now recorded 50 episodes. Recording and producing each episode has taken a lot of time and effort but at the beginning of the year I had set myself a one word intention of learning and this podcast has felt so aligned with that. When I first started I didn't know what I was doing. The first few episodes were very raw but the podcast evolved after each

2020/02/28

In this episode I talk to Rob Day about the traps and pitfalls of founding an agency business. When Laurence and I started our digital agency back in 2004 we didn’t have a business plan or exit strategy. We just enjoyed doing the work and wanted to continue doing it and get paid. We grew organically taking people on when we couldn’t handle the workload. Over time we got more work and therefore needed more staff which meant finding more work to keep the staff happy (and paid). We then did less of

The Happy Startup School ·

2020/02/28

Brendan Kearns is a designer and founder of Studio Rival. For many people his career path is already a mark of success having worked at Twitter, Invision and Google.

In this episode we talk about his time working for tech giants, his view on the role of designers and what it means to him to be an entrepreneur.

2020/02/28

Does creating impact always have to take effort and hard work? Can you make change without forcing it? According to Rei Chou it is possible. You just have to hold on less tightly to the outcome and be more honest about why you need to be a changemaker. This takes some inner work, which according to Rei is an exploration into what you don’t know that you don’t know about yourself. Rei is a former marketing creative now Reiki master and healer and also founder of The Feast. The purpose of The Feast

Can you be happy and ambitious with Laurence Shorter

The Happy Startup School ·

2020/02/28

One of my highlights from this year’s Happy Startup Summercamp was watching Laurence Shorter’s Spiritual Experience. Think of it as stand up comedy meets group therapy meets chat show meets transformational workshop. I like to call it cheerful introspection. I’ve come to believe that many of the challenges that we find in business and leadership come from a lack of clarity. This is a lack of clarity about where you want to go, but also a lack of clarity of what you stand for and what you want

The entrepreneurial path is an uncertain one. When you decide to claim control over the direction of your work (and life) you also to take on the responsibility for the big decisions and regularly you don’t always have all the information you need to make them. You can try to think your way to an answer and systematically way up all the pros and cons but that may not be enough. It doesn’t take long to Google around and find different systems and methods for making big decisions. But using these

Remembering who you are at your core with Kim Slade

We hear it said by influencers and Instagrammers, “find your passion and make it happen”. However when you identify so closely with the business you want to create you want to make it perfect and you fear even more that it will be rejected. And that slows you down. That’s because if you’re work is rejected doesn’t that mean you are rejected? On this episode I talk to Kim Slade founder of Unlost and Touch Video Academy.
