Unemployed & Afraid
A business podcast for the brave self-employed, with Kim Kerton
Growing your own business can be one of the most gratifying, wonderful, life-changing experiences around. It’s also scary as hell.

Your host knows exactly how it feels to be a small-business owner, she is one.
Kim’s building a branded podcast consultancy (check it out at Good Side of the Bed) while also growing the Unemployed & Afraid podcast and brand. She’s also been a self-employed salon owner, yoga teacher and ceramicist, and 13 year corporate media employee.
On this podcast, Kim brings together business owners from all stages and scales to share the very personal journey of growth that is small business ownership, all to help others find the courage to get started and stick it out.
There’s a lot of successful people out there talking to other successful people about their success, that’s wonderful, but sometimes you need to feel genuinely seen and heard alongside the aspirational stuff.
She’s your business-building equal, creating a safe space for learning from each other so that nobody gets left behind - because this gig is tough, and we’re tougher together.
