The Playhouse Podcast: Real conversations with creative business owners growing through community and networking
The Playhouse Podcast features real conversations with creative business owners about what's actually working in their businesses. Hosted by Deanna Seymour, founder of The Playhouse community.
Whether you're learning how to grow your business as a designer, coach, writer, podcaster, or solopreneur, this show is for creative entrepreneurs who want to build something sustainable without losing their minds to social media.
Most creative business owners aren't looking for business as usual. We're not interested in dedicating our lives to the algorithm, and we're not interested in surface-level small talk.
We want to grow our businesses through relationships, referrals, and real conversations. (And yes, we're talking to a lot of introverts who'd rather network in small groups than shout into the void.)
Topics we explore:
- Anti-hustle and slow business
- Marketing without social media
- Networking for introverts and quiet entrepreneurs
- Burnout and sustainable work
- Community over content
- ADHD and neurodivergent business owners
- Referrals, collaborations, and real connection
- Email marketing and owned audiences
- Creative ways to grow without burning out
Each episode is recorded live inside The Playhouse, where listeners can join us for free, ask questions during the Q&A after party, and meet other online business owners building anti-algorithm businesses.
This podcast has gone through a few names as The Playhouse has grown, but the heart of it has always been the same: real conversations that help creative entrepreneurs grow together.
If you're ready for authentic visibility, more collaboration, and a way of doing business that leaves you energized instead of exhausted, you're in the right place.

There’s More to Business (and life) than Emails and Algorithms with Amelia Hruby and Lynn Quinn
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Pull up a chair at the Water Cooler for a giggle-filled, refreshing convo between Amelia Hruby (creator of Softer Sounds and host of Off the Grid podcast) and Lynn Quinn (cognitive architect & founder of The Zones of Atlas). In this episode, Lynn, and Amelia are chatting about:
Why social media is giving so many creative entrepreneurs the ick, and what is the alternative? Why relationship marketing has always been the real MVP. Giving ourselves permission to NOT answer emails within 48 hours (gasp!)
And of course, sharing their dreamy summer plans they have when all the to-do lists are checked off and the laptops are shut for the day.
Whether you’re a hermit, a recovering Instagram diehard, or a fellow email-avoidant business pal, there’s something in here for you!
