This episode is meant to encourage and support all of you who are continuing to grow your community, brand or business during what can only be described as an utterly strange and tough time. May you use the ebb & flow of work/inspiration and rest to your advantage during lockdown!

In this episode, I start off by discussing the "5 Questions you need to ask yourself" when wanting to grow an engaged and supportive community. I really believe that the way forward, is to grow your brand in an outward-focused way.

We then dive into a really insightful interview focused on launching a new product-based business, with Elsa Sharp of Blooming Butter. She has successfully launched a brand new line of hand-crafted sunflower butters. We discuss what went into launching her unique business, the importance of mentorship and the beauty of trusting your gut whilst working through new processes; even if that means you learn from mistakes made along the way.

Please share with us the things that inspired you most in this episode and tag us:

@blooming_butter & @creativ.and.kin - we'd love to share it!

As always, stay connected and keep creating!
