Hosted by Disobedient Business® Coach Pippa Parfait, and somewhat more Obedient Tech & Systems Strategist, Lucy Parfait, this podcast will help you find ways to escape the boring AF business BS, lead with integrity, fuck some business shit up and actually make money doing it. Join us as we dig into all the parts of running a service-based business, from Marketing and HR to Tech Support to Operations. We’ll take a look at what the conventional wisdom would like you to do (AKA usually some shady shit) and help you to find the disobedient ways to do it better (AKA with a sack ton of integrity and a big old middle finger up to the status quo).

    Building an "audience" vs. "building a community" and why it matters [Part 2]

    In this cheeky little podcast episode of ours, we have a good old chinwag about the pearls of wisdom Siobhan Fisher dropped on us about of what sets apart building a gaggle of followers from nurturing a proper community for those plucky small businesses. We're having a chat about how a community is all about getting stuck in and having a proper back-and-forth, while an audience is more about sitting back and soaking it all in, using social media as an example. And blimey, do we get into a spirited debate about the need to create a cosy nook where all sorts of views can have a exchange ideas. We're also taking a trip down memory lane, sharing our own little love stories with brands – like Pippa's soft spot for Lucy & Yak. 🚨 BIG NEWS YOU GLORIOUS HUMANS 🚨Disobedient Business® LIVE; the newbie palooza is coming June 2024!
