Big Fun, Small Business: An audio sketchbook for building a business that feels good
Humans evolve. Ideas change. And honestly, how is a creative human supposed to stick to one podcast idea for half a decade and a ton of episodes? I have no idea.
That’s why Big Fun, Small Business is an audio sketchbook of all the things I’ve explored since starting back in 2020. It’s a collection of ideas, rants, pep talks, tips, and a very real evolution of what it looks like to build a business when your values are rooted in experimentation, creativity, and being true to yourself.
Some episodes might have old ads to products I tried that don’t exist anymore. But for someone who started with a podcast called Imperfect Party, I say eff it.
This audio sketchbook celebrates the mistakes, the pivots, the tears. It’s a journey, and kind of a wild ride. Because no matter what a well oiled sales page tells you, running a business is hard, but it can also be a lot of fun.
If you hear something you want to chat about, I’d genuinely love to hear from you. You can email me anytime at deannaseymour.com.
And if you want to hang out beyond the podcast, you’re welcome to join my free community, The Playhouse, at jointheplayhouse.com.
Happy listening! 🎉💖

How More Content Can Lead to Less Connection with Tara McMullin
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Does it ever feel like you simply cannot keep up with the demand to make more and more and more content? There's a reason for that. Social media was made for us to connect with friends, build relationships, and create a community, right? Wrong. Tara breaks down the business model for social media platforms which actually tells us that these platforms are created to learn our online behaviors, turn that into data, which they turn around and sell as ad space based on our audiences and interests.
So, hold the phone... All of my behaviors, business information, and content that I make to try and get the algorithm to like me is just making them money? YUP. It's not fun to realize that the content we are working so hard on is probably working out a lot better for them than it is for us. Tune in to hear more from Tara about how your content can work for you, and not just for the big-name social media platforms!
Tara and I chat about:
- The myth of 'Grow or Die' mentality
- How to survive online, and feel good about what you're posting
- Practicing digital ecology
