Ash Vallis, Designer and Founder of Summi Summi, is super real, funny and nails the vibe of what it means to go after something that’s speaking to you, no matter how messy it gets along the way, and shows how much the mess is worth it. This episode had me lol’ing away and nodding furiously when I was packaging it up for you, we chat about how a creative spark can start one way then end up very differently, how the people you need to help you on the journey have an uncanny way of appearing just when you need them, and why it’s important to embrace the lows just as much as the highs – both of which are inevitable when you’re on this epic journey.   Connect with Ash via the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/summisummi_/">Summi Summi Instagram</a> And check out the <a href="https://summisummi.com.au/">Summi Summi website</a> to add the new collection to cart And don’t forget to follow Unemployed & Afraid on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/unemployedandafraid/?hl=en">IG</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/unemployed-afraid">LinkedIn</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/unemployedandafraid">Join our Facebook Group</a> You can reach your host on email via <a href="mailto:kim@unemployedandafraid.com">kim@unemployedandafraid.com.au</a> On <a href="https://www.instagram.com/goodsideofthebed_/?hl=en">IG</a> and on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kim-kerton/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/unemployedpod" rel="payment">Support the show by shouting me a cuppa (or 2): https://www.buymeacoffee.com/unemployedpod</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

A business podcast for the brave self-employed.
Growing your own business can be one of the most gratifying, wonderful, life-changing experiences around. It&rsquo;s also scary as hell. This is a weekly podcast for the ones who have made the brave decision to employ themselves anyway.
We're for the full gamut of business experience - from Solopreneurs, Side-hustlers, Micro-business, Small Business, Medium business, Independent, VC backed, Bootstrapped and more - here for the real stories and priceless insights of it all, well beyond the PR headlines.
Join fellow business-builder and side-hustler Kim Kerton as she dives into the realities of starting something from scratch, helping you feel less alone in the lows and reminding you of the highs that make it all worthwhile. Hear real talk and raw feels from people right in the thick of it and feel seen as you listen.
Small business is tough - all business is tough - it will be one of the most intense things you'll ever do but it will also be the most impactful experience you can imagine. So surround yourself with a community of business owners willing to share with you their learnings, from those a few steps ahead, to many business milestones ahead, and even those just behind, and feel supported to build the business of your unique dreams.&nbsp;
This is a podcast built to support you to build your own small business, to tackle the statistics and keep more of us in business for ourselves.
