Manual Mode Podcast

A podcast by NYC-based photographer, author, and creative entrepreneur Moriah Sawtelle. Manual Mode covers all things entrepreneurship, creativity, self-improvement, and stories about navigating a life and career in manual mode. I believe that surrounding yourself with interesting people is the best way to multiply your own efforts to stay effectively curious and creative. I started Manual Mode so we could all spend a little more time with seasoned entrepreneurs, professional creatives, and performance experts who know a thing or two about achieving bold goals.

    E18: Ginny Erickson of Erickson Surfaces

    Today on the podcast I’m talking to Ginny Erickson, the paintbrush-wielding creative genius behind one of my all-time favorite small businesses, Erickson Surfaces. Ginny and her team create stunning photography backdrops and shapes that help artists tell stories and have gathered quite a wonderful community together around their products. But as with any success story, Erickson Surfaces didn’t happen overnight, so I’m excited to hear Ginny tell us about the ups and downs in the journey to where she is today.

    E17: Michela Ricci on entrepreneurship, community, branding, and pivoting

    Today on the podcast I’m talking to Michela Ricci, a coffee-slinging, community-building,  forward-thinking entrepreneur who is making moves in Phoenix, Arizona. Michela is the founder of The Early Bird: a mobile coffee bar turned events company that she started to serve the Phoenix area (which was also one of my first customers when I was a baby photographer.) While Covid was a challenge to The Early Bird, Michela is a resilient entrepreneur and emerged with her latest creation: Monsoon Market, an indie food, beverage, and retail shop. Michela is a ray of sunshine and a wonderful human in so many ways, but I'm especially excited to hear her talk more today about building community, creating a stand-out brand, and what it's like to pivot as a passionate entrepreneur.

    E16: Cultivating Creativity in 2022

    I have been struggling with the start of the new year to think over my direction for myself. I wanted to talk a bit about the habits and practices that I’m taking into this year while I work on growing my creative skills and finding what is next for me. I think sometimes it’s ok to not totally know what is next for you, but having a consistent practice and things in place to keep you creating momentum as you work towards finding your next venture is the best way to keep yourself growing and inspired. Here are the habits and tools I'm taking into 2022 to be the best creative (and human) that I can be.  ACCESS the full show notes for this episode and download some business-building freebies here: https://moriahbrooke.com/podcast/

    E14: Sara Silm

    Today on the podcast I'm talking to Sara Silm, a freelance journalist and stylist who currently resides in the Béan region of southwestern France. It's hard to sum Sara up in a paragraph because she does and is so much, and has lived many lives on just about every continent throughout her multifaceted career. These days you might know her from her dreamy Instagram account, Chateau Montfort, where you can escape into her stunningly styled images of the French countryside. Her book, How To French Country, gives a glimpse into her styling process and how she creates what can only be described as 'je ne sais quoi'. I don't know if we can even scratch the surface of Sara's creative genius in a podcast interview, but I'm determined to at least try.
