Season 1, Episode 11: Show Up and Be Heard

Today’s episode of the podcast is an interview with Helen Hill, from UnlikelyGenius & Be The Future.

BOSS THINGS YOU'LL LEARN IF YOU TUNE IN:

1. How embracing the title of entrepreneur has helped Helen navigate the business world and access new networks and communities.
2. Why finding support and resources, such as accelerators and partnerships with local councils, is crucial for entrepreneurs.
3. How being vulnerable and open about the ups and downs of running a business can lead to valuable connections and support.

Helen Hill is the creative addict behind UnlikelyGenius™️ and one-half of the mermaid double act, Be The Future. She is on a mission to reconnect the world to the creativity and joy in education and work. She loves nothing more than to help kids and 'grown-ups' rediscover mischief and playfulness to generate new ideas and get excited about what they do.

At UnlikelyGenius she is an all-around creative providing writing, design & illustration, with a focus on educational resources and book illustration. As a lifetime hoarder of childrens’ books (for her own reading pleasure) she has recently launched herself as a childrens’ book author-illustrator. Plus she is an ICF ACC accredited business coach and author of triple award-winning Falling Off The Ladder.

When not a 40-year-old playing dress-up or grappling to work out the time difference with co-founder Sally in Australia, at Be The Future Helen’s focus is on developing educational and technological content for immersive and educational experiences about sustainability. Plus, she is also the chief of visual design and craftily magicking workshop props together armed with her trusty new sewing machine.
