One Part Podcast's Should I Be...?

After ten minutes of meeting John Michael Schert, I asked him to be on the podcast. He didn’t even know I had a podcast, and I didn’t really know anything about him – I just knew that he was awesome.

In this episode, John Michael and I talk about how to get out of your own way, the impact of his mother coming out when he was a teenager, what he learned from being a dancer, and learning to give space to the unknown. Sound heavy? It sorta is. But it’s also one of my favorite episodes yet.

Here’s John Michael

Bari and I talk about all the ins and outs of being a ceramicist. Including going to school vs. being self-trained, building your brand and attracting clients, pricing, trade shows, the difference between fine art, collectible design, and open edition works, knowing when/how to build your team, and how sometimes things are ruined by being monetized aka maybe it’s ok to keep your art as a hobby.

About Bari: Bari Ziperstein is the founder of BZIPPY, a brand known for its experimentation and innovation with ceramics. Their clients include some of the most prominent interior designers working today, and BZIPPY’s work can be found in private homes, public venues around the world, and the pages of magazines. Outside of BZIPPY, Bari’s unique designs, were seen most recently in a one-person exhibition at Charles Moffett Gallery in New York City Show Notes: BZIPPY WEBSITE + INSTAGRAM Bari’s WEBSITE + INSTAGRAM JULIA HAFT-CANDELL SEAN GERSTLEY LUAM MELAKE RUBY NERI My books: ONE PART PLANT COOKBOOK KNOW YOUR ENDO Our Sponsors:

This week’s guest is Hillary Sawchuk. She’s the creator of the popular interview series A Drink With and an all-around inspiring woman. Hilary has interviewed everyone from Common to Steve Forbes to Kurt Russell for her site. And looking at the super-polished, pulled-together brand she’s created, you’d think the she’d be kicking back and drinking champers with celebs. But Hillary explained in our conversation that things aren’t always as glamorous as they appear. And neither was the journey to get where she is today.

We discuss how she went from a utilities intern for The Pistons (where she was literally carrying a cord around behind a cameraman) to becoming on-air talent, the reason she started A Drink With, how she’s monetizing it today, and why she believes getting told “no” can still be a small victory for your brand.

Last week was a big week, the week I got my book deal. After months of back and forth, with contract negotiations I signed the contract. And then almost threw up opening my first advance check. And DID throw up after meeting with publishers in NY. If you’re starting here, I wouldn’t. Go back and start from the beginning.

When I left you at the end of the episode, I was about to move to Charleston after living in Chicago for nearly 16 years. Remember, I was going to start my book as soon we arrived and I could unpack my kitchen boxes. But it didn’t really go as I expected...

This week, Iâ€TMm talking to Hillary Peterson. Hillary Peterson is founder and CEO of True Botanicals (a non-toxic beauty brand). Prior to founding True Botanicals, Hillary was CEO of Marie Veronique Organics.

In this episode, Hillary and I discuss how her thyroid cancer diagnosis changed her career path, creating products that are 100% safe vs. 100% natural, her mission to change the skincare industry, playing big (including her decision to take an investment from Unilever), and why perfectionism is the booby prize in life.
