How Liz Mosley Built a Brand Studio Without Losing Herself15 Jul 202501:07:53

Liz Mosley gets real about what it takes to grow a design-led business without losing your identity in the noise.

We talk about everything from why she still presents three brand concepts (despite the industry pressure to do just one), how she filters out red-flag clients, and what she’s learned from years of doing things her way.

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s an honest look at imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and trusting your gut in an algorithm-driven world. We also dive into AI’s limitations, the role of taste in design, and how her heritage shapes the way she works. We cover:

– Her full design process, from inquiry to delivery

– Why she refuses to niche by industry

– How she built a podcast with over 170 episodes

– The real role of taste in design (and why AI can’t replicate it)

– What red flags she looks out for in client work

– How culture, boundaries, and burnout shape creative growth

Networking as an Introvert: Ivy Malik’s Honest Take on Cannes, SXSW & More08 Jul 202500:19:21

In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it’s really like to show up at big creative industry events as an introvert.

Over the past few months, I’ve been to Cannes Lions, South by Southwest London, Adobe Max, and Social Day — and each one left me with a different feeling. Some were electric. Others felt performative, even lonely.

I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of what these events are really like and a few tips on what you can do that would faciliate connections beyond the event.

Heart-led Pricing06 May 202500:07:52

In this solo episode, I’m speaking directly to the creatives, coaches, and spiritual entrepreneurs who feel a twinge of guilt every time they think about raising their prices.

You might be wondering if you’re being greedy… If you’re leaving people behind… If pricing your offer higher makes you less generous, less spiritual, less “for the people.”

It doesn’t.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why I’ve never felt guilty about charging more
  • The emotional cost of underpricing and why it drains you
  • A failed “middle ground” offer I launched, and why I shut it down
  • The pricing trifecta I use with clients: Skill, Experience, Confidence
  • The £500-to-£20K transformation of one spiritual client
  • My own journey from charging £1500 to over £50K for one client
  • Why your pricing is a boundary, not a betrayal

This isn’t about hype. It’s about honesty. And if you’ve been quietly waiting for permission to price from your power, this is your permission slip.

About Ivy: Ivy Malik helps creative entrepreneurs who feel undervalued break free from overthinking and fear, so they can price with confidence, sell with ease, and build a business they love. A former restaurateur with 16+ years of business experience, she’s seen firsthand how creatives struggle to balance passion and profit. Now, through Ivy Malik Coaching, she blends Psychology, Human Design, and practical sales strategy to help creatives take control of their success, without the stress.

Pricing With a Pulse and Building a Business That Feels Good to Run22 Apr 202500:07:20

Summary In this solo episode, I talk about something I’ve seen time and time again both in my clients and in myself:

What happens when pricing feels personal. When the work is close to your heart, when your offer holds your story, when your business is built from who you are…how do you price that?

I walk through the classic framework and share the piece that is missing that will change everything.

This episode will ruffle some feathers. If it makes you think, I’m happy.

Freddie Öst on Pink Jesus, Shower Beers & Creative Rebellion01 Apr 202500:49:17

Summary Can you build a globally respected brand without playing by the rules? Freddie says yes…loudly, boldly, and in pink.

In this electric episode, Ivy Malik sits down with Freddie, co-founder of creative powerhouse Snask, for a wildly candid, no-holds-barred conversation on creativity, rebellion, and building a studio that’s as fearless as it is fun. From buying a band at 4AM to launching a beer designed to drink in the shower (yes, really), Freddie shares how Snask became a globally recognised brand by choosing honesty, joy, and audacity over playing it safe.

 

About Snask: SNASK is your future romance. A creative agency of misfit geniuses conquering the world through fine lookin' design and real emotions. They seek to challenge conservative frameworks and they do it with their backs straight, supported by their unbreakable values. They don't cower away from the challenge, as they see that the magic lies within the unexplored. In order to be great - you have to be brave and bold. In order to be real -  you have to stand up for your opinions and beliefs. And that is Snask - brave, bold and real. They excel at branding, design and film and refuse to do anything else than what they see as world class. They are doctors of disturbance, wizards of disruption and spokesmen of disobedience. They take on the responsibility to stay engaged, give a damn, and strive for empathy. There is a short word for this assumption of responsibility: Snask.

Kristy shares openly about how she built her team, the pressure of being the face of the brand, and the internal tug-of-war between ambition and presence. We also explore leadership, human design, and how to trust your gut when the stakes feel high. If you’ve ever wondered how to do it all — or whether you even should — this one’s for you.

Rejection is Redirection17 Jun 202500:57:57

In this episode of Creative Flight, I sit down with EriFili, the founder and CEO of Zlink—a Gen Z-led marketing agency making serious waves. Eri started her business at 20, landed major clients, and made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list by 23. But what struck me most wasn’t the accolades. It was her clarity.

We talked about what it means to actually build something when you’re young, how self-worth fuels the creative process, and why fulfillment beats success metrics. Erifili leads with empathy, prioritises mental health in the workplace, and believes that branding—personal or otherwise—starts from within.

We also went deep on:

  • Why rejection doesn’t mean you’re not ready
  • The difference between personal branding and performative visibility
  • How rituals, signs, and spirituality show up in creative work
  • What Gen Z really wants from work and life
  • And how AI is changing how we think, write, and connect

This episode is for anyone who’s building with soul and wants proof that you can do things your way, and win.

High-Achieving, Multi-Passionate, Still Human10 Jun 202500:37:23

In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliantly multi-passionate Courtney Evors. You’ll hear us dive into what it really means to lead a layered life from fashion design to powerlifting to coaching. Courtney shares how she’s moved through worlds that don’t always make space for the full range of who we are.

We talk about what human design has helped her understand about her own creative rhythm, and why the pressure to "pick a niche" never really fit. She opens up about navigating imposter syndrome and how she’s learning to anchor herself in self-trust instead of permission.

If you’ve ever felt too much, not enough, or like your path doesn’t fit into a neat little box, this one’s for you. Courtney also shares what’s next for her (hint: it includes a book and a whole new coaching chapter), and what it takes to follow the thread of your own desire when no one else sees the vision yet.

I loved this conversation. I think you will too.

Sound bites Courtney: “Once I discovered in my design that I’m a manifesting generator, I was like, actually I’m allowed to skip around... I’m not crazy.” — Courtney Evors “I’ve always just been really determined—like ever since I was a kid—that if I have something in my mind, I’m just going to do it until I decide, okay, I don’t want to do that thing anymore.” — Courtney Evors “Sometimes you have to push yourself into something that’s a little unknown to really get something more out of life.” — Courtney Evors

“To be interested in different things isn’t so unusual. But to highlight it the way I do, that’s unusual.” — Courtney Evors “The best conversations happen in the kitchen... it’s that incubation space, that creative space where anything is possible.” — Courtney Evors

Courtney Bio Courtney Evors is a multi-passionate creative, strategist, writer, and lifter of things. She’s the founder of The Consultancy KTCHN and The Creative KTCHN, with 20+ years of global experience in performance apparel, design, innovation, and brand building, including 13,5 years work with Adidas and launching her own granola company.

She brings real-world experience to help creatives and brands find clarity, structure, and momentum. Now, she works with multi-passionate founders to turn vision into strategy and build creative systems that scale.

Taste in the Age of AI: What Makes a Human Designer Irreplaceable?03 Jun 202500:38:15

This one’s different. I bring you into a thought experiment where I sit down with four cultural giants—David Hume, Pierre Bourdieu, Susan Sontag, and Dave Hickey—in a fictional panel, debating one question: What is taste, and does it still matter in a world of AI?

It started on a train ride with my husband. A discussion about AI turned into a deep dive into aesthetics, class, judgement, and the soul of creativity. What unfolded is part role-play, part philosophical roundtable, and very much a love letter to the part of us that still knows how to choose.

We explore:

  • Why taste isn’t about preference—it’s about public risk
  • What makes a designer irreplaceable
  • How taste can be an act of rebellion in an algorithm-driven world
  • And the line that every guest agreed on (after much debate)

If you’re a creator, designer, thinker, or just someone who wants to believe that beauty still matters…this episode is for you

 

SOUNDBITES:

 

“In a world generating so much, where everything is starting to look good, taste is what will make the difference.” Ivy

“Safe taste is decoration. Real taste is vulnerable.” 

“A designer with taste does not just know what looks good, they know what is appropriate, what is resonant, what is timely.” fictional David Hume

 

“The problem isn’t that AI is replacing designers. The problem is that the market has reduced design to deliverables.” fictional Bourdieiu

“Taste is the last place where instinct and identity meet.” fictional David Hickey

My Viral Moment20 May 202500:07:32

In this episode, I share how I gained my first 10,000 followers on Instagram, and what actually made it stick. I talk about my first “viral” moment, what I learned from Chris Do about creating content that matters, and why visibility alone isn’t enough. The real growth came from building trust, showing up consistently, and creating value people could feel. Virality might get their attention, but it’s consistency that keeps it.

Takeaways:

  • I got my first 10,000 followers by being consistent, not just viral.
  • Visibility is powerful—but it’s not a growth strategy on its own.
  • Your viral moment means nothing if you can’t back it up.
  • I learned to create content that builds trust and credibility.
  • If you show up and care, they stay.
  • The real lesson? Trust is the strategy.

Building a Brand Identity13 May 202500:50:13

In this episode, I sat down with Jacob Cass, CEO and founder of Just Creative, the branding agency with serious visual chops and a flamingo mascot you won’t forget. We got into how he built such a standout brand (yes, we talked flamingos), and why verbal identity is just as crucial as the visuals when it comes to creating a brand that sticks.

We also reflected on the Band Builder Summit. What worked, what surprised us, and the big takeaways we both walked away with. If you’re someone who’s been wondering how to position yourself so clients instantly get your value, Jacob had a few gems you’ll want to scribble down.

One of my favourite parts? Hearing him talk about action and trust. No fluff, no overnight success stories, just solid advice on showing up, doing the work, and letting things unfold.

We even touched on the whole “personal brand vs. business brand” thing, and how to strike a balance when you are the brand, but you’re also building something bigger than just yourself.

It’s a good one. You’ll definitely walk away thinking differently about your brand.
