Summary
This week, Alice welcomes special guest Jo McCarthy to the podcast. Jo is a small shop mentor who helps creative professionals build their e-commerce businesses and in this episode, she shares her expertise on how to successfully market your work online. Alice and Jo discuss blocks to selling (and how to overcome them) and also discuss the importance of taking small steps rather than trying to make giant leaps.
Jo suggests reframing the idea of productivity, and viewing your business in terms of capacity rather than time. She also explains why she she uses a 'can do' list rather than a 'to do' list. Perhaps most importantly, Alice and Jo discuss the importance of showing up and starting to sell even thought everything is not yet perfect. If you've been feeling unsure about selling online, this episode should make you feel much more comfortable about just getting out there and "evolving in public."

| 0:24.0 | get you thinking with me Alice Sheridan and this week I am joined by a guest |
| 0:29.0 | who you may not have heard of. |
| 0:31.0 | Her name is Joe McCarthy and she runs a very special, well I'll let her tell you about it in a minute, but this was one of those moments and I've been talking with people on the |
| 0:45.3 | podcast about who we have as guests and we get approached by a lot of people and my whole |
| 0:51.6 | ethos about how we show up online is that it needs to connect with people in a |
| 0:56.4 | completely genuine way and when I saw Joe's stuff on Instagram went over to her website, read her wording, which by the way she doesn't think is very good. |

| 1:55.4 | practices led by strong values, a concern for its impact on others and driven by a desire |
| 2:00.9 | to offer something meaningful will stand tall. |
| 2:04.2 | It will grow, it just takes time and energy to do the work. |
