Warning: If you have an Instagram account and use it for your creative business, you need to listen to this episode, and save yourself the heartache and endless hours of trying to get it back. What happens when you lose 10+ years of community, connection and creative work in an instant? About two weeks ago I was locked out of my Instagram account of 90k followers. I lost connections, beautiful comments on personal posts, private DM threads, and so much more. What have I learnt about this experience? What would I do differently? And, more surprisingly, what have I gained?  Beware: hackers are out there.

There’s a saying that you make money when you buy a home – not when you sell. You can also save yourself a huge amount of money on renovations if you buy well. In this episode you’ll learn the five factors you should always consider before buying (and they work for renters, too.) So, if you’re planning to buy a house one day, or you’re looking at beach homes, weekenders, or want to start an Airbnb project, come listen to what to look for before buying.  This episode could save – and make you – a whole lot of money! Not to mention, save you a huge amount of time and stress, too.

Is it possible to create a career you love, but do it on your own terms? And not follow the conventional path of growing and scaling a business?

Join me for a conversation with Tara Mangini, one half of the design duo behind Jersey Ice Cream Co. Together, she and her partner Percy Bright spend their time moving house to house, job to job, leaving timeless, beautifully crafted homes in their wake. Listen in to discover Tara and Percy’s story, beginning with their shared love of flea markets, and most recently landing them their own show on Magnolia Network, The Story of Home. In all their work, Tara & Percy believe in craftsmanship, timelessness, and leaving things better than they found them.
