A weekly podcast for creative entrepreneurs looking for pithy, actionable advice on how to thrive commercially and creatively. The podcast is hosted by me, Calandre Orton, a business consultant and mentor for creatives. I will tackle a different topic each week from setting the vision, managing your time, handling feedback, building your team, giving back, staying in your lane, sustaining inspiration, collaborating, being brave, starting again to name a few. More often than not, I will have a creative entrepreneur guest join me to share their story and advice. I've got men and women across a huge range of creative industries lined up - I hope that you will hear new stories and fresh ideas. Being 'up with the lark' is about getting up and going and my hope is that something you hear on this podcast twill resonate with you and enable you to make a positive change to your business. I hope that you will find it encouraging and challenging in equal measure!
