The Creative Flow Podcast

Today I wanted to share an exercise on the podcast that will enable you to work out and get clear on the USP of your business and your brand's purpose.

So why should you do this? Knowing why you're unique is vital to show your own take on your business and stand out from your competition. Plus it gives your brand it's a purpose and why you do what you do.

I'll be going over a checklist of questions and tips for you to think about while you're discovering and working out the USP of your business. It's the perfect exercise to journal over and dive into what makes your business special.

This exercise is one part of a three-part process in my free Brand, Design & Product USP Checklist you get for free when you sign up to my newsletter. I'll be sharing the brand part today but if you want to grab the full exercise part then download it here.

Let me know how you got on with this exercise over on Instagram @arnoldandbird

Happy New Year! On the podcast today I'm talking about my word/words for 2019 and a little bit about my plans and resolutions. The first ever podcast episode I did last year was my word for 2018. So it seemed fitting that to kickstart 2019 I would do the same.

My word for 2019 is: Empower

For me empower is all about feeling confident in myself and my abilities. And empowering other design-led souls to do the same.

Listen in to hear how I will bring empowerment into life, plus my plans, goals and resolutions.

I'd love to know your word and plans for 2019! So do message me and carry on the conversation on Instagram @arnoldandbird

Today on the Elevate Your Curiosity podcast we're discussing the Pantone Colour Of the Year 2019 - Living Coral. And I say we as I am joined by Elizabeth Stiles, a fashion retail consultant.

We met on Instagram this year and after bonding over books and podcasts we've teamed up on workshops and are each other accountability partners!

Listen in as we discuss our thoughts on the Living Coral colour, the consumer themes behind it and how you can translate all of this into your product range. It was such a fun episode to record and we discuss so many ways to use this in your business. From taking the texture of the ocean and coral and using this in prints and pattern. To ways you can be more environmental in your business.

Today's episode of the Elevate Your Curiosity podcast is going to be a mini Christmas meditation. I know so many creative retail businesses who are busy sending out so many orders for that last minute Christmas rush. So I wanted to create a Christmas meditation that is easy to fit into busy days but will also give you a few moments to stop, breathe and relax during the rush.

We surge ahead so much in our businesses, that taking a few moments out to reset can really help make you more productive, happier and less stressed. So do join me in this mini guided meditation today.
