And She Looked Up Creative Hour Podcast

Each week The And She Looked Up Podcast sits down with inspiring Canadian women who create for a living. We talk about their creative journeys and their best business tips, as well as the creative and business mindset issues all creative entrepreneurs struggle with. This podcast is for Canadian artists, makers and creators who want to find a way to make a living doing what they love.

Your host, Melissa Hartfiel (@mhchipmunk), left a 20 year career in corporate retail and has been happily self-employed as a working creative for 13 years. She's a graphic designer, writer and illustrator as well as the co-founder of a multi-six figure a year business in the digital content space. She resides just outside of Vancouver, BC.

Alberta singer/songwriter Sharon Marie White joins Melissa to talk about her deep roots as a musician and performer and how she let her music move to the background as she found other ways to contribute to her family. Now, after putting her music on hold for decades, she's back and she's just getting started - in an era where women are no longer willing to put up with ageism as working creatives!

Do you get caught in the branding trap that many creative businesses find themselves falling into? The one where you get so wrapped up in the physical assets of your brand that you forget about what branding actually is? Your logo? Not your brand. Your website colours? Not your brand. They're physical assets OF your brand. So what is your brand? Melissa and Heather Travis dive into the less obvious (but extremely critical) aspects of branding from telling your story, to creating a mission statement and even choosing who your business works with and how you treat your contractors and employees!

This is a great episode for those creative business owners who are struggling with the deeper aspects of their branding or new business owners who are not even sure where to begin with their branding (hot hint: it's not your logo!)

Subscriber-only episode

In this month's subscriber only episode I'm sharing what I think is the best way to weather a topsy turvy economy where it's hard to predict what's going to happen. After having lots of conversations with fellow creative business owners the consensus always seems to come back to one thing that seems to work, no matter what. (warning though - it's not a quick fix or an easy fix. But it does work!)

Find out what that is in the month's exclusive episode!
