Innovate. Thrive. Other‪.‬ Steph Sanderson

Over the last 18 months we've become acutely aware of our wellbeing as both business owners and humans. And still we struggle to find the right balance, and maintain a consistent focus on our wellbeing. The lines between work and home have become incredibly blurred. The wellbeing initiatives in our places of work are often limited, ineffective or non-existent. So what can we do to support ourselves?



Join me as I explore this topic with NHS GP and creative wellbeing business owner, Zoe Watson, a total powerhouse with a unique insight into the mental and physical health challenges we face as business owners and employees.

Have you ever wondered how to scale or grow your business? We're bombarded with blueprints and '10 steps' to £10k months or 6-figure incomes. Most of time, these methods are not sustainable or as profitable as they first seem.



In this episode we explore what it really takes to grow and scale a business sustainably. It might surprise you!



Join me as I explore this topic with Nancy Evbuomwan, a brilliantly smart and passionate business strategist, founder of Unikable and diversity and inclusion speaker.

But where the heck do you start? There is an overwhelming amount of options!

Join me as I talk through the core tech that I've put in place in my business. I explain how I use it, and my thoughts on it.

As business owners we make decisions daily. Sometimes these decisions can feel pretty tough; when to invest, whether to part ways with a service provider, who to hire, for example.

Join me, Amber Badger and Juls Christie as we talk through some of the decisions we've made recently, and the challenges, pushback or joy we've experienced as a result. This inside glimpse into decision making might just be what you need to help you with yours.​

With the increased need for, and awareness of ‘self-care’ and boundaries within our businesses, are the lines becoming blurred? Are we putting boundaries in place that push us into a poor customer experience? What is the difference between boundaries as an individual and boundaries as a business owner? How can we shape our business in a way that gives us what we need whilst delivering a good experience for our clients and maintaining our hard earned reputation?​

Join me as I explore this subject. It's the start of a thought process and conversation, and one I'd love to hear from you on. Please send me your thoughts and observations and I'll build them into a future blog.

Have you ever wondered about the risk level of your business? When we're building a business in the social media echo chamber, we can accidentally build a high risk business.

In this episode we explore a few of areas where we might be unintentionally leaving ourselves exposed to risk ... marketing, price points and finance management.

Join me as I explore this rarely talked about topic with Jade Rose, a financial advisor for creatives who has experience building her own businesses, and advising clients who are building theirs.

By day, Jade works as a wealth advisor in a FTSE100 wealth management firm in the City. The rest of the time, Jade is known as The Shiny Investor, providing financial insights to creatives and start-ups.
