Happy Hell: Work-life Balance for Parent Entrepreneurs Niki Strbian

Happy Hell podcast episode 9 is here because Xmas is coming up and I have always believed that a book is the best gift to be found under the tree!
 
That's why today I am discussing with Emmi Jäkkö from Lukukeskus.fi, which is a Finnish NGO specializing in reading and literacy. Hang out with us till the end because Emmi shares a list of the best children books that you shouldn't skip when doing your Xmas shopping.

This time on Happy Hell we scrutinise the blogging sphere together with Hanna Väyrynen, who is the soul and beauty behind Strictly Style, a super successful style blog.
 
Hanna has been one of the first professional bloggers in Finland, she started back in 2009, and since then her Strictly Style blog has collected awards such as Best Fashion Blog, Most Stylish Blog, The Inspiration Blog and is read by thousands of readers every month. Plus Hanna is currently the brand ambassador of Lancome in Finland. 
 
With all of these achievements under her belt, it's natural that she is a role model for many aspiring bloggers and this is why in this episode of Happy Hell podcast Hanna and I focus on the best practices and basic habits each style and fashion blogger should have. However first and foremost she is a devoted mother of three boys, and you can imagine it keeps her busy. To save some of Hanna’s time we conducted the interview in Hanna’s home. So the audio quality might be slightly off  - with occasional coughs and shuffles and a refrigerator hum. 
 
Stick it out with us though, it’s worth it. And if you once in a while here thumping, that’s Hanna hitting the table to emphasise a point like when she goes “don’t do the project”.
 
The 8th episode of Happy Hell podcast is called So you want to be a blogger - and we cover a lot, starting from how blogging became a profession, what business models are available for professional bloggers, how to decide your pricing, how to find collaborators and what it means to be your own personal brand.

Interview with Anni Erkko, the author of Uraäidin selviytymisopas (How to survive as a working mother), with the best tips from her book.

Today I talked with the wedding photographer Jere Satamo about marketing tips, Instagram, providing an awesome client’s experience, Jere's workflow and customer service practices and of course we discuss how a fully booked wedding photographer balances his career with two small kids at home. Plus why to enter competitions and proudly share your awards. This is a good one!

The 5th episode of the Happy Hell podcast brings useful tips, the best interview questions and a structured process for all of us who want to hire help for our business or home. The guest is Lubica Kangas, a recruitment specialist and entrepreneur.

The 4th episode of Happy Hell podcast is where we learn together how to keep the daily madness under control, your temper under control, your driving intact and your relationships happy. We are going to be talking about sleep! My guest Janne Kanervisto is a licensed MD specialized in general medicine and he’s been an entrepreneur for nine years.
