In this episode, I'm joined by Kathy Hayman of Better Minds Better Business, and we talk about something that genuinely underpins everything we do as business owners: mindset.

Kathy works with small businesses and their teams on practical mental wellbeing, helping people build resilience, reduce stress, and show up with clarity and confidence. Her own story, from corporate life to decades of entrepreneurship navigating some serious ups and downs, is honestly fascinating.

We all talk about strategy, visibility, and growth... but none of that lands the way it should if your mindset is working against you.

This episode is one for every small business owner who's ever felt overwhelmed, burnt out, or just a little stuck in their own head.

In this latest solo episode of Crescent Podcast, I show how the 'rules' that have been created around building a business are not definitive and actually, you need no one's permission to do anything with your own business...
