The Work Different, Live Different Podcast by The Maker's Collective episodes
- Pivot…Pivot Again…Pivot Some More – Running A Small Business During A Global Pandemic with Amit Mehta
We’ve rebranded!
This podcast used to be called ‘The Maker’s Collective Podcast’ and is now called ‘The Work Different, Live Different Podcast by The Maker’s Collective’. You’ll notice that we’ve updated the look and feel along with the name, which will appear across all of our episodes, old and new.
In this episode of The Maker’s Collective Podcast, we sit down again with one of our very good friends, Amit Mehta, Founder of Good Co. Productions. 2020 has been a hard year for everyone - full stop. Things have been changing quickly and in big ways with huge consequences for people, communities, and businesses, and for many of our fellow business owners, like Amit, the only ways to survive have been to stay agile, listen to the needs of customers and the broader community, and pivot as often as necessary. Change isn’t easy, and we talk openly about that in this episode - warning, this isn’t exactly light and fluffy content. We dig into the hardest parts of being an entrepreneur because that’s what’s real and true. Thank you for listening.

We’ve rebranded!
This podcast used to be called ‘The Maker’s Collective Podcast’ and is now called ‘The Work Different, Live Different Podcast by The Maker’s Collective’. You’ll notice that we’ve updated the look and feel along with the name, which will appear across all of our episodes, old and new.
Hey there, welcome to Work Different, Live Different - the podcast where we explore unconventional and innovative ways of living and working. If you're a side hustler, creative entrepreneur or just someone who wants to shake things up a bit, you're in the right place!
We're The Maker's Collective, and we're here to share our experiences and insights on how to break free from the traditional 9-5 and live life on your own terms. We'll be talking about everything from finding your passion, building a brand, juggling multiple projects, to staying motivated and avoiding burnout. So come join us and let's work differently, so we can live differently!
For our first season, we're taking things back to the basics and re-introducing ourselves to our audience. Our last podcast 'The Maker's Collective Podcast' ended two years ago, and since then, we've grown and evolved in so many ways. We want to bring you into our world and give you a fresh perspective on who we are and what we do. So whether you're new to The Maker's Collective or a longtime supporter, get ready to see us in a whole new light!
This season is going to be a wild ride, and we can't wait to take you along with us! We're serving up 8 episodes of juicy content, with a mix of team, buddy, and solo episodes that will keep you on the edge of your seat. From our latest creative projects to our biggest wins and failures, we're not holding anything back!
So buckle up, grab your headphones, and get ready for some serious inspiration. We hope you enjoy this new show as much as you did the old one - but better, of course!
