A Beginner's Mindset to Instagram, with Katie Pulsifer

I’m sharing something a little different today… the results of my ‘podcast affair’ with my Aussie bestie, the gorgeous Ms  . Bonded over our love of storytelling and creativity, Keeley and I and came together to create  - a gathering of resources, classes and a shiny new podcast, in the hope of passing some of that passion along.I chose this very first episode to share here with you on Hashtag Authentic because I really think the fundamentals we talk through - which we’re jokingly calling our ‘commandments’ - are applicable to every and any platform out there online.  So, whether you’re Substack-curious, have no intention of ever joining Substack or are a self-confessed Substa-holic, I hope this episode can offer you support, strength and encouragement for showing your creative side online.If you want to hear more from me and Keeley, be sure to Subscribe to  and to the SSS podcast in your favourite podcast app. PS - Our special Winter Substack class is now enrolling, until Monday November 27th!

Introducing: The Substack Soirée Podcast

This week I talk to Katie Leamon, who turned her love of paper and pattern into her eponymous family-run stationery studio. Her notebooks have been a daily companion to me for many years, so it was really fun to chat with her about her designs, her process and the realities behind running a product-lead business with the family on board! Things we talk about: * Building from a home studio to printing and selling at scale * Designing products based on creative instinct * The rise of independent stationery makers and designers online * Selling wholesale vs. direct * Family business, and drawing the the lines between work and home life. * Taking time for creativity outside of work * Growing a team, and when to let things go * Katie’s new experiments in creating ceramic range  * Launch strategies and learning from mistakes * Trusting your brand identity and staying authentic  Links we mentioned: * My Substack Soiree class * Katie’s online store, Katie Leamon  * Katie’s new ceramic range (I LOVE THIS CUP!) Listened and loved it? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
