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.
