In this episode I speak with Lala Cooper Carver.
Lala is a Content & Communications Consultant, with an extensive background in brand identity, communications, and content. She’s partnered with some of the biggest names in consumer tech, healthcare, energy and publishing over the past decade.
Lala launched her micro-business, Goldline Content, in September 2021. Since then, it's grown rapidly, and currently supports a wide range of businesses and organizations in the UK and around the world.
Lala and I cover topics including:
The benefits solopreneurs can have coming from an agency background and wearing different hats
Accepting the challenges of solopreneurship and focusing on solutions
Jumping in, taking action, and being bold as a solopreneur
The importance of saying no to things, but also the challenge of embracing a no mindset as a solopreneur
Burnout, being aware of it and being empathetic about it
And other topics.
We talk about perspectives that are as much for employers as they are for solopreneurs.
While the primary audience of this podcast is aspiring or seasoned solopreneurs, a lot of this advice is very actionable for employers out there looking to learn from those who have gone out on their own and why they’ve done so.
I’ve said on this podcast before that I am personally 100% open to being an employee, but that employer would have to meet certain criteria - and the bar seems to remain low for a lot of corporations out there, so I hope some of the perspectives discussed with my guests may get through to anyone willing to listen.
So I hope you enjoy my conversation with - Lala Cooper Carver.
