From folk stages to financial spreadsheets, Lynne Wilkins has done it all—and done it right here in Raglan. In this episode, we explore how Lynne turned her love for music into a lifelong creative pursuit, all while building a thriving accounting business and mentoring other creatives to make their work sustainable.

We talk about juggling passion and practicality, the power of staying local, and how community involvement can fuel both art and entrepreneurship.

Market research, project management and storytelling to help ideas grow. In this episode I am talking to Katie Lowes, creative strategist campaigner and founder of FOHBOH, a Raglan-based business.

We talk about what it takes to build a creative business, how to balance work and life in a small town and why marketing rooted in real research and community make the biggest impact. Katie also shares how being a mum shapes the way she works.

What does it take to keep writing? In this episode, we talk with Wanda Barker, a Raglan-based writer, artist and founder of the local writers' collective Inkspillers, about the highs and lows of the writing life. Wanda shares how the long, uncertain road to publishing led her to build a community where stories can be shared, supported, and seen.

We also talk about the "ghosts of writing", the ideas that haunt you when you are not creating, and how writers can navigate doubt and discipline. It is a warm and honest conversation about writing not just as craft, but as a way of connecting.
