    The Problem With Supporting Local (It’s Not What You Think)

    In this solo episode, Elsa dives into a spicy and nuanced topic: the complicated truth about supporting local. As a self-confessed farm girl raised in a small town, Elsa knows the importance of backing regional businesses — but she's also had some real-life experiences that reveal why “support local” isn’t always as simple as it sounds. Elsa unpacks the two sides of the coin — from the pride and power of supporting community-run businesses, to the frustration of rude customer service, lack of innovation, and territorial attitudes in small towns. She shares her personal stories, thoughts on flying in as an “outsider,” and why sometimes locals do need outside help to grow. What You’ll Hear in This Episode:💥 Why supporting local can be both empowering — and problematic🧃 Elsa’s personal experiences in small towns (some good, some spicy)🧭 The grey area of bringing in “outsiders” to regional communities💡 The real reason people still choose external providers🤝 How collaboration between locals and outsiders can be the magic combo🛍️ Thoughts on big box stores, fast fashion, rising costs, and why it’s all just... hard💬 Why business mentoring in rural areas needs sensitivity, connection, and zero ego Key Takeaways: Supporting local shouldn’t mean settling for bad service or zero innovation Sometimes an outside perspective can offer new opportunities and vital connections Being private about your business is okay — especially in close-knit communities It’s not about competition — it’s about collaboration There’s no one-size-fits-all way to “support local” Links & Mentions:📸 Connect with Elsa on Instagram: @‌elsa_mitchell_📧 Say hi via email: hello@elsamitchell.com.au🌾 Apply for Elsa’s rural & regional scholarship: Contact Elsa🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts — it's like a one-way ticket into a podcaster’s panties (Elsa’s words, not ours 😂) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Being successful as an introvert with Tahryn Bolt

    As much as I preach about building community and “it’s not what you know its who you know” in business, I am also acutely aware that you absolutely can be successful in business as an introvert. And I love to share a perspective different from my own. In this episode Tahryn, founder of The Social Bolt, shares how she has managed to build her business as an entrepreneur who is happiest at home with her doggies. I deeply believe there is never a ‘right way’. There is only the right way for you.

    Moving a thriving business online to adapt to big life changes with Kerry Rowett

    Meet my latest girl crush! I was recently feeling uninspired by the online space until a friend suggested I check out; Kerry Rowett. I was instantly intrigued by the impressive line up of clients Kerry had supported in her business (Denise Duffield Thomas just to name drop). Well with one exchange of voice messages I was hooked! Kerry offered me the most profound intuitive insights and I knew I immediately had to have her on my podcast. In this episode we talk about life after divorce (for both of us) and how Kerry packed up her thriving face to face business and moved state and shifted her whole loyal following online as a Kinesiologist, Reiki & Positive Psychology mentor and coach.
