Creativity, podcasting, and monetization tapas 💃
Hi from sunny Barcelona, Reader! ☀️💃 Since I'm in the birth country of tapas, it's only fitting today's Inside Story is a bite-sized assortment of all things creativity, podcasting, and monetization. Buen provecho!
What inspires you to be creative?
That's what a friend of mine, Nina, co-founder of IP consulting business Fruba, recently asked me. And I created a little video with my answer! Check it out on the right 👉
That also inspired me (funny how that works) to prioritize something that I love but leave by the wayside too much: Painting. I'm not a pro, nor do I aspire to be, but it's something I really enjoy. I recently did this little watercolor painting of my pup Bodo that I love (shoutout to Andrea Nelson for the easy-peasy tutorial!) and I also brought my little travel watercolor set with me to Barcelona.
What about you, what inspired you to be creative both in your business and beyond? Hit reply to let me know!
P.S. I recorded a great interview with Leonie Dawson (who you might remember from the Marketing without Social Media course I've mentioned before) for the Creating in the Margins podcast all about this earlier this week as well – stay tuned for new episodes dropping soon!
How to monetize your podcast with ads – no matter your audience size
I recently held a free masterclass as part of my work for the podcast monetization platform Julep all about how to make money from your podcast!

This is not meant as a humblebrag, but I've been a guest on plenty of podcasts by now, Reader. And while some interviews I felt went better than others, I never thought "Uh-oh, I don't know if I want this to air" afterward. Until a couple of months back. Melissa, a great mindset coach I know, had announced she was launching the Founders’ Fears & Failures podcast to normalize mental health struggles + redefine failure in the startup ecosystem and was looking for guests. “I know something about...
Is there a topic you’re super passionate about that you feel isn’t getting covered enough or properly, Reader? Feel like your unique perspective is missing, but don’t feel ready to jump in the ring? Brand Strategist & Content Marketer Cassandra Le was in the same spot. After months of standing on the sidelines, though, they decided to do something about it and launched the “I’m lost, so what?” podcast to explore the nuances of “belonging” and carving your own path as multicultural, hyphenated...
I joined Facebook in my very first year of high school, Reader.Afterward, I studied journalism, media, and cultural studies when I went to university, which of course social media is a part of. I even wrote a paper on how fiction authors are leveraging social media. After university, I went into marketing, and from the start, I was the designated millennial social media person. I even remember secretly rolling my eyes when I had older colleagues refuse to use social media or didn't understand...
