In this episode I chat with Pascale Helyar-Moray OAM, Director, Founder and Advisor about a topic that she and I are both incredibly passionate about… money.This can be a sensitive subject for some creatives, however my goal with this podcast and The Savvy Creative in general is to demystify and make personal finance relatable and dare I say - fun or at the very least, interesting.We discuss what led her to create start up Grow My Money (now Finder Shopping), her exit from the business and her top tips on how anyone can approach personal finance.*Pascale contacted me after the record to let me know she confused her quotes! The quote was “a life lived in fear is a life half lived” and it was from the film Strictly Ballroom. Dead Poets Society “Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary”. BNPRich Dad Poor Dad Australian Gender Equality Council Pascale Website Moneysmart.gov.auPascale Helyer-Moray: LinkedIn https://www.instagram.com/dare.to.be_richTo learn more visit the website: https://thesavvycreative.com.au/Follow us at: https://www.instagram.com/the_savvycreative/Watch this chat: https://www.youtube.com/@MaidenMediaOfficialProduced by Sam Blacker: https://thepodcastbutler.com/Recorded with: Pivotal Conversations Music by Gen Patrick: https://www.instagram.com/genpatrick.wav/

This is our introduction to season one with the incredible Dr Gerard Reed. Our conversation is around fostering entrepreneurialism and innovation within creative people. Gerard has taught this subject for many years, really living and breathing this idea through his work and experiences. We discuss creative partnerships, what does success look like and if the end goal of creating something is purely for self or is it for a marketability factor?We also touch on how failure and painful experiences can actually be incredibly informative and life changing. All growth comes from discomfort - so it is in fact an inevitability for anyone testing outputs into a market. This American Life podcast Design thinking - UK council double diamondMaslow’s taxonomy of needsAmerican Academy AwardsBlue ocean strategy (Kim & Mauborgne)Bruce Jeffreys (Go get cars)Dr Gerard Reed: LinkedInTo learn more visit the website: https://thesavvycreative.com.au/Follow us at: https://www.instagram.com/the_savvycreative/Watch this chat: https://www.youtube.com/@MaidenMediaOfficialProduced by Sam Blacker: https://thepodcastbutler.com/Recorded with: Pivotal Conversations Music by Gen Patrick: https://www.instagram.com/genpatrick.wav/
