I’m the co-host of Soul Traders Podcast, an honest conversation about creative work. Over three seasons, we’ve shared insights on mindset, marketing, systems, communications, creative autonomy and doing business in a human-sized way. In our third season, co-host Amy Snoekstra and I were joined by Tess McCabe, designer and author at Creative Minds HQ.
The podcast about creative work.
Soul Traders Podcast was born from the workshops I ran with writer and digital strategist, Amy Snoekestra. Our workshop participants were coming up against many of the same challenges in their work (and life!) and we decided to address these, topic by topic, in a free podcast. Since 2020, we’ve found ourselves a like-minded community of freelancers and small business owners and our podcast is consistently named in the top marketing podcasts in Australia. In Season 3 we welcomed Tess McCabe of Creative Minds as a co-host. Soul Traders Podcast is used as a resource by many freelancers.
“Bo Wong speaks like she swims: with purpose, presence and joy.”
I spoke with Saneia Norton, an inspiring landscape architect and design communications expert who attended the 2024 Tide + Seek Retreat. Saneia is an absolute legend who brought immense joy and expertise to the group. We were lucky to have her come all the way from Sydney and I’m chuffed to be a guest on her podcast! In this episode of Dig Beneath Design, her podcast featuring stories and insights about design communication, we discussed my best and worst communication experiences, why I remove specific words from my email communications, and, of course, we talked about ocean swimming and why it’s rich with metaphors for running your own business.
