On this weeks episode we are honoured to welcome an exquisite designer and maker - Chloe from Hepcat Hats who makes unique vintage-inspired embellished berets! Chloe began as a maker, dresser and freelancer in a variety of domains (such as in the costume industry - even being asked to make on Peaky Blinders!) and she stayed on this path for 4 years. But designing and making is Chloe's passion and her dream, and working on commission or for someone else was not giving her the ability to follow this dream - enter creating HEPCAT HATS! Chloe uses 100% woolen high quality berets which she sources from a manufacture she trusts and then embroiders and embellishes the berets with her own features and designs or antique and vintage pieces. To find out more details about this amazing skill listen into the episode - it's fascinating!

Firstly welcome to Season 2 of The Handmade Business Podcast!! We missed you all! Thanks so much to Christina for taking time out of her mega busy schedule and joining Anna in another time zone all the way in the USA - Florida! Christina from Enkindled Candles joins the podcast and dives deep in this really free flowing inspiring episode about her why, purpose and mission within her small business. As a radiation therapist treating cancer patients in her day job, Christina started to see more and more younger patients being diagnosed with breast cancer - and so she went down a self proclaimed Rabbit Hole of trying to understand why! This led her to facts about chemicals used in our every-day-use-products that could lead to cancer in later life- and she was shocked. So Christina began the journey of creating non-toxic candles that do no harm. Enkindled Candles are a luxurious vegan blend of virgin coconut and soy wax; gluten free, toxin free, paraben free, phthalate free and also made from renewable sources. Spurred on also by the passing of her best friend to brain cancer, who had told Christina to find her purpose and never give up, she embarked on what is a truly admirable journey, as you will hear. We hope you enjoy this episode it was really enjoyable to listen back to as podcasters!

Mindset positive or negative can make or break your day, your week, your month and especially your handmade business. It's the difference between saying 'yes' to the day and 'I can do this' or 'I can't' or 'I'm not good enough' or 'why am I not getting any sales?' Lynsey and Anna talk frankly about the things that mindset can affect and how to 'capture your thoughts' - a technique that Lynsey uses!  Lynsey also goes into some excellent coaching tips that you can start doing today and a tonne of advice on how to use your mindset to get more sales in your handmade business and how to be productive in your lower sales moments - Lynsey also reads out a quote that we can all live by day-day in biz and in life. Plus Anna talks about what shifted in 2016 in her business and why it's the key to success. She also talks about how The Handmade Business Planner was born out of the systems and processes she uses when in low periods or to plan for future success and also how Lynsey's coaching, advice and accountability partnership have absolutely been key to getting her out of funks with a good 'ol nugde (or yank!)

This episode is a real treat! Yes we go into all the amazing aspects of using video in your Handmade Business but Lynsey and Anna get really open with their own experiences and insecurities with videos. Video is the way forward - we think that everyone will agree with that, and it takes a bit of courage if you are not a 'natural' video performer but we hope that by the end of this episode you will have a tonne of ideas on not only what content you can be producing in your business but also how to get over the initial 'ahhhh' moments you might feel when you turn the camera to record. Oh and we also have a complete 'blooper' moment that Anna has decided to keep in because it really does make us laugh!! Our mission for this episode as that you run away from listening and grab your camera and start making content right away feeling inspired and raring to go - and don't forget to tag us both once you do! Things we discuss: -- The Benefits of Video -- Why people may find it hard to push the 'record video' button -- Our own insecurities when it comes to videoing ourselves and speaking on camera -- How to get over those fears -- Sharing intimate stories relating to our children and how those stories can be related to our content -- The different types of video content that are available to us all in long and short form -- Specific ideas you can use to showcase your products on Reels, Stories, IGTV, IGLives, Facebook Videos, Pinterest Videos and TikTok So basically a tonne of value!
