Episode 018 - Conversation with Lesley Andrew
Welcome back to Halftime Huddle – the midweek moment where small business owners pause, reflect, and recharge. In this episode, host Mark Webb sits down with Lesley Andrew, artist and art therapist, to explore creativity, life transitions, and breaking through the upper limits that hold us back.Lesley Andrew is an artist at her core who spent 11 years as an art teacher before retraining as an art therapist 12 years ago. Now she combines art therapy with confidence coaching to help people express their authentic selves. In this conversation, you'll hear honest, inspiring stories about her journey, debunking creative myths, and the tools she uses to help people navigate transitions in business and life.## Highlights from the Episode:- **Art Therapy is for Everyone** – It's not just for children. Art therapy helps anxious yet ambitious people, those navigating loss or transitions, and anyone needing to express themselves. When words fail, art steps in.- **Everyone is Creative** – Adults say "I'm not creative" because of childhood messages. Lesley's mission: help people unlock their creativity. You ARE creative—you've just been told you're not.- **A Minute to Learn, A Lifetime to Master** – Archery instructor wisdom that reframes learning. Children find things easy because they have a beginner's mindset. You don't have to be good to start.- **The Messy Middle** – The frustrating stage past beginner excitement where it's not looking how you want. This is where most people quit. Overcoming small technical blocks helps you push through.- **Upper Limit Problems** – From "The Big Leap." You might be about to do something big and suddenly self-sabotage. Recognizing these patterns helps you break through to your zone of genius.- **Learning in Public** – Lesley introduced herself as "an artist with an identity crisis" and people connected more than when she was robotic. Authenticity beats perfection.## Book Recommendation**"The Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks** – This book explores Upper Limit Problems (ULP)—the ways we self-sabotage before breakthroughs—and the concept of moving from your Zone of Excellence (comfortable success) to your Zone of Genius (transformative growth). A game-changer for anyone hitting invisible ceilings.## Quotes to Remember:> "Everybody's creative. Part of my mission is to help other people unlock their creativity."> "A minute to learn, a lifetime to master."> "Zone of genius is at the top, zone of excellence can feel like success but it's become your comfort zone."## About the Guest – Lesley AndrewLesley Andrew is an artist at her core who spent 11 years as an art teacher before retraining as an art therapist 12 years ago. She now works with adults navigating life transitions—perimenopause, health challenges, identity shifts—combining art therapy with confidence coaching to help people express their true selves. Lesley hosts "A New Pace" podcast (PACE = Pause, Act, Create, Empower) and serves as Specialist Interest Group Coordinator for the British Association of Art Therapists. She practices authentic expression by learning in public and embracing imperfection.**Connect with Lesley Andrew:**- LinkedIn: Lesley Andrew - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lesley-andrew/- Podcast: "A New Pace" (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube)- YouTube: Lesley Andrew - https://www.youtube.com/@LesleyA- Facebook Group: [Lesley's creative community] - https://www.facebook.com/groups/709921627380084## About Halftime HuddleHosted by Mark Webb, Halftime Huddle is your weekly midweek motivation for small business owners and entrepreneurs.

Episode 017 - Conversation with Emily Braitwaite
Welcome back to Halftime Huddle – the midweek moment where small business owners pause, reflect, and recharge. In this episode, host Mark Webb sits down with Emily Braithwaite, co-founder of Yellow Tuxedo, to explore work-life blend, authentic entrepreneurship, and why the pursuit of “balance” might be holding you back.Highlights from the Episode:Work-Life Blend vs Balance – Emily challenges everything we’ve been told about separating work from life. Learn why embracing the blend creates less stress than fighting for balance.Building Business in Plain Sight – Tired of the “10K months” hype and perfect highlight reels? Emily shares Yellow Tuxedo’s approach of showing the messy reality, sharing when campaigns don’t work, and why authenticity is your competitive advantage.“Is It Making the Boat Go Faster?” – This one question refocuses conflicts from emotion to shared goals and keeps their partnership strong.Dropping the Facade – Why showing up on camera pre-coffee and unperfect builds stronger customer relationships than polished perfection. Emily explains how facades create barriers and exhaust you while authenticity connects.Marathon vs Sprint Work Styles – Emily and Alan run the same successful business with completely opposite productivity approaches. Discover why understanding your work brain (and working with it, not against it) matters more than following expert advice.Raising Entrepreneurial Kids – How Emily’s 7 and 9-year-old sons are learning about ROI, reinvestment, and business thinking: skills they can’t learn at school but will benefit from whether they become entrepreneurs or employees.Book Recommendation(s)“Rare Breeds” by Sunny Bonnell – A book about doing your own thing, being a risk-taker, and rejecting the noise to stand out. It was the last business book she read before deciding to stop consuming and start acting.Ali Abdaal on YouTube – Emily recommends this YouTuber and storyteller who creates 4–5 minute inspirational videos that leave viewers feeling energized rather than overwhelmed with information to implement.Quotes to Remember:“Stop trying to balance, try and blend it. If you are a small business owner, you’re an entrepreneur and it is your life. You stopped your corporate job to build the life you want. So stop trying to make it separate. It is who you are.”“The minute you put that facade on, you put a barrier in front of you and your customer. Stop trying to be something you’re not.”“Is it making the boat go faster? If it’s not, back away.”About the Guest – Emily BraithwaiteEmily Braithwaite is co-founder of Yellow Tuxedo, an online visibility specialist business that helps small business owners navigate the noisy digital landscape without needing expensive marketing agencies. Alongside her husband and business partner Alan, Emily guides entrepreneurs to maximize their online presence using practical, accessible strategies. As a mother of three entrepreneurial children and advocate for authentic marketing, Emily proves you can run a successful business without sacrificing family time or losing your mind – as long as you stop trying to balance and start learning to blend.Connect with Emily Braithwaite:- Website: https://yellowtuxedo.co.uk- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-braithwaite/- Instagram: @yellowtuxedo- Facebook: @yellowtuxedo- TikTok: @yellowtuxedoAbout Halftime HuddleHosted by Mark Webb, Halftime Huddle is your weekly midweek motivation for small business owners and entrepreneurs.

Episode 016 - Conversation with Kate Llewellyn
Welcome back to Halftime Huddle – the midweek moment where small business owners pause, reflect, and recharge. In this episode, host Mark Webb sits down with Kate Llewellyn, founder of The Content Consultancy and The Content Club, to explore content marketing without the overwhelm.Kate Llewellyn is a content marketing strategist. In this conversation, you’ll hear practical and permission-giving stories about creating content consistently, redefining success around happiness, and supporting entrepreneur mental health.Highlights from the Episode:The MCC (Minimum Content Commitment) Framework – Kate introduces her signature system for sustainable content creation. The magic? Permission to do LESS often means you actually do it CONSISTENTLY.Permission to Repurpose Content – Stop feeling guilty about reusing content. The algorithm means not everyone saw it the first time, you have new followers who’ve never seen it, and people consume content at different stages.The Done List Productivity Hack – Instead of focusing on what’s left undone, track everything you accomplish. Happiness is the Highest Form of Success – Kate shares her lightbulb moment about constantly chasing goals without feeling satisfied. What if happiness IS the measure of success? Do more of what brings you joy.Mental Health Support Gap for Entrepreneurs – Kate co-founded the Mental Health in Small Business Conference to address a critical gap with practical support for entrepreneurs.Content as Continuing Professional Development – Reframe content creation as learning in public. If you can write 1,000 words on a topic, you probably know what you’re talking about. Creating content doubles as professional development.Book Recommendations“The Dictionary of Lost Words” by Pip Williams – Historical fiction about a girl involved in creating the first Oxford English Dictionary. Perfect for word lovers and anyone fascinated by how language evolves.“Coach Yourself Confident” by Julie Smith – A practical guide to building confidence and overcoming self-doubt. Kate’s favorite concept from this book is “humble confidence”. Essential reading for entrepreneurs battling imposter syndrome.Quotes to Remember:“Happiness is the highest form of success. I had this light bulb moment: if I feel happy, isn’t that what I went into business for?”“No one knows how good your business is before they buy from you. They only know how good your marketing is.”“Set a minimum content commitment - this could be as little as one post a week on your hero social media platform. What this really does is it puts a boundary around how much content should I create.”About the Guest – Kate LlewellynKate Llewellyn is the founder of The Content Consultancy and The Content Club, a membership community helping small business owners build content confidence and consistency. Kate discovered her calling helping local small businesses with their content marketing needs after taking voluntary redundancy from Palgrave Macmillan. The pandemic prompted her to launch The Content Club, teaching business owners to create their own content with confidence and community support. Kate is also co-founder of the Mental Health in Small Business Conference.Connect with Kate Llewellyn:- Website: thecontentconsultancy.com- LinkedIn: Kate Llewellyn (her “hero platform” - she’s most active here)- Mental Health in Small Business Conference: https://thecontentconsultancy.com/mental-health-small-business/About Halftime HuddleHosted by Mark Webb, Halftime Huddle is your weekly midweek motivation for small business owners and entrepreneurs.
