Hey Weirdos!

This month's guest is Rapper, Podcaster and Show Host, Creeper Crisis. A great guy full of insight and wisdom, whose passion for sharing his story and his voice is clear. Having started on underground radio and YouTube in his teens, he's grown to releasing his own incredible music and interviewing stars in the industry as well as hosting his Hot Seat Game Show.

It was a true joy to connect with him and share his energy and learn more about his roots and what influenced his music and his lifestyle, which challenges the typical stereotypes of rap culture. We are all about doing things different at Work it Weirdo and Creeper Crisis is definitely a Maverick in his field, staying firmly in his own lane and putting his message out there to the world.

Some of the topics we discuss include:

• How he came up with his name
• The impact of phone culture on society
• Storytelling in music
• Growing up as a Millennial
• Childhood influences and support
• Views v Reviews
• Authenticity in the digital age
• The Hot Seat
• Self love and growth

Such a wisdom-packed meaty chat, covering so many topics - you will definitely take a fresh perspective after listening to this episode. Make sure you check out his music too and listen to Drug Talk for those amazing lyrics we discuss in the chat.

Hey Weirdos! Kicking things off after a little break for the school holidays, we are back with the amazing Emelye Parker from Bean. Em is Queen of all things pink and owner of independent & quirky shop Bean and plant-based cocktail bar The Black Cat - both in Falmouth in Cornwall. She's a big fan of all things fun, colourful and gay, and she is an absolute poster girl for being authentic and running a business that is true to you, to the core.

I've wanted to get Emelye on the podcast for ages to talk about the insane negative 1* Google review her shop received, and how she turned it into the best publicity opportunity, including press, merch and a cult following that came to support and strengthen the brand and community she has so amazingly built. This is a true testament to the 'all publicity is good publicity' mantra, and shows that by those who are clearly NOT your customer speaking up, it brings forth tenfold those who are.

As well as this juicy tale turned success story, Em shares how she built the brand, supports and stocks artists and creatives that align with her values and how she uses her storefront as a political and social lighthouse to beam out her messages and beliefs and stand true to the causes and organisations that she believes in. We discuss how activism and personal beliefs can exist in your business, both online and IRL.

We also discuss how to un-beige your life and business, how to stay true to your niche and how neurodiversity plays a part in business planning.

There's also plenty of hun culture references, lots of pink and a large dollop of authenticity, sprinkled with more pink!

Thanks so much Emelye for being our fabulous Professional Weirdo!
