    444 | Don't Call It Art with Austin Kleon Jun 02, 2026
    Show notes

    Today I am joined by best selling author Austin Kleon, the author of Steal like an Artist, Show Your Work, Keep Going, and his newest book, Don't Call It Art.

    This conversation feels timely because I've been hearing from so many people lately who are just feeling creatively exhausted. They've built businesses around something that they once loved making, but somewhere along the way the creativity started to be replaced by running the business.

    Those production schedules, the marketing plans, inventory, emails. All the things, right? Austin and I talk about that tension that a lot of people feel in this episode. How easy it is to lose the playfulness and the curiosity that got us into business in the first place.

    We talk about the pressure to always be professional, the fear of looking stupid or not knowing everything, and why staying curious actually matters so much as we grow our businesses and ourselves as creative leaders.

    We also talk about creating like children do. Experimenting, playing, making bad art on purpose, working with your hands, getting outside, taking walks, journaling.

    There's a really interesting conversation here about how creativity doesn't always come from sitting and thinking harder.

    Sometimes it comes from movement, from changing your environment, from using your hands or stepping away long enough for your brain to reconnect the dots in the background.

    Today’s episode is brought to you by our Proof to Product resource library. It’s where you can get your hands on our free resources to help you start, streamline and scale your business in your own way and at your own pace.

    Quick Hit: How Do I Differentiate My Products from Everyone Else? May 28, 2026
    Show notes

    One pattern I've noticed time and time again after working with thousands of product brands across lots of different categories, is that while our products might be different or our tools and platforms might change, all of our core business foundations and fundamentals are not changing.

    And that's exactly why I wanted to share this short clip from the archive, something that I think is worth revisiting because the takeaways still hold true today.

    Maybe listening will spark an idea or help you take action on a decision that you've been sitting on. Really, the goal here is to help you take your next intentional step in business. That's what I want for you.

    443 | How to Confidently Raise Your Prices with Katie Hunt May 19, 2026
    Show notes

    Today we are diving into a topic that I know makes some of you really uncomfortable, but I need you to lean in and listen because this conversation is not only timely, but it is necessary. And honestly, it may save your business.

    We're talking about raising your prices. Now, before you convince yourself that this does not apply to you, I want to share a story that I came across from a restaurant owner. Yes, I know, totally outside of our industry, but it's worth sharing.

    If you are tired of working in a silo, making all of the daily decisions in your business alone, then come join our community of product creators and sellers in LABS. You'll not only gain access to a generous group of people who are making and selling a very wide range of products, but you'll also gain access to trainings, email templates for things like raising your prices, and monthly coaching calls with me.

    Plus, we're rolling out some new incredible features soon that are going to make it even easier for you to implement all the new ideas that you're gathering in the community.

    442 | How Kitsch, Boxfox, and Postable Are Segmenting Their Email Lists with Katie Hunt May 12, 2026
    Show notes

    Today's episode is pulled directly from a case study that I wrote and shared inside of our LABS community.

    The case study is about email segmentation. This is a really good example of the kinds of conversations we're having inside of LABS every single day.

    We of course talk about sales strategies, cash flow, and marketing systems, but we're also looking at real world examples from brands within our industry as well as outside our industry.

    We're asking ourselves, what's working? Why does this work? And most importantly, how can we apply this to our own businesses and our own industry?

    Today’s episode is brought to you by our Proof to Product LABS coaching program. This is a coaching program specifically built for product-based business owners, with members from across industries and across the globe. We have member-only events inside of LABS, so request your invitation to join below!

    441 | How To Protect Your Work as an Artist with Daniel Lachman, Justice for Artists May 05, 2026
    Show notes

    This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Daniel Lachman, founder of Justice for Artists.

    Daniel is an artist and a longtime Etsy seller who has dealt with his fair share of creative work being copied, and instead of just being frustrated by it, he has built an entire platform to help other creatives protect what they've created.

    During the episode, we get into the realities of art theft in today's digital world. We talk about the difference between counterfeits and knockoffs and why this matters more than you think.

    We also talk about what protections you actually have as a product based business owner and how to start taking action if your work is being copied.

    We also dig into copyright, what that really means, when it's worth it and what happens if you decide to enforce your copyright rights.

    If protecting your designs, your products and your brand has been sitting in the back of your mind, or maybe you've had some other company steal your art, this is a conversation worth paying attention to.

    Daniel created a step by step tutorial showing exactly how to apply for a copyright. This is a video tutorial and we've made that available inside of our LABS community for our members.

    If you're not in LABS, this is exactly the kind of support we offer inside the community. Real tools, expert guidance and resources to help you run a stronger, more protected business. You can learn more and join us at prooftoproduct.com/labs.
