Suited Up Podcast: a positive podcast for aspiring entrepreneurs
Latest Episodes
In this episode I am joined by Eve Laird and Sarah Cartwright from Eve’s Crackers. In 2016, Eve was suffering from eczema. Instead of using over-the-counter creams, she was determined to heal her skin through the power of food choices. Although Eve managed to clear her eczema over time, she was left with a problem: There were no indulgent, yet healthy snacks she could eat! So, she decided to take snack matters into her own hands and started experimenting at home using wholesome, real ingredients found in the pantry… so began Eve’s Crackers!
On this episode, I interview Eve and her sister-turned-business Co-Partner Sarah. We discuss how Eve realized there was a market for her product, appearing on Dragon's Den, how they balance their work/family time, figuring out the packaging process and so much more.
In this episode I am joined by Anna Bennett from White Glove Social Media. Anna has been recognized as a Pinterest marketing expert by Pinterest themselves. In fact, she was part of their Elite Business Program designed to help businesses leverage the power of Pinterest marketing. Since 2012, she's been helping businesses and bloggers get more traffic from Pinterest to their website and blog. Her specialty niches include; hair and beauty, health and fitness, home decor, fashion, kids and parenting, travel, food and drink, art, DIY, and weddings. Anna offers four Pinterest Marketing online courses and her agency offers lots of services to support your social media growth and the development of your marketing strategy.
In this episode we discuss what social media to choose to use for your business, how to avoid entrepreneurial burnout, the importance of obtaining business awards and more.
Emily is the CEO and co-founder of Dansii, a dance support organization and networking platform. She had professionally trained for 10 years, performing and working around Europe, before transitioning to the business side of dance. Outside of her day to day Dansii work, Emily works on other dance related projects and loves to spend time outside exploring and connecting with nature. A frequent point of personal research for Emily is her heritage and culture. Emily is Kanien' kehá:ka and longs to connect with her ancestors' stories, hoping to one day bring them to life through dance.
Our conversation covered everything from diversity & inclusivity in the dance world, reminiscing about our days together dancing as students at Canada's National Ballet School, and leaders in the dance world like Artistic Director Mavis Staines who supported Dansii from day one.

Producing a podcast is no small feat. And, there isn’t a lot of education out there to make the process easier. That is why I offer podcast consulting to help solopreneurs and organizations alike in their pursuit of launching a podcast.
