Marketing #88

This show is for creators who are done playing small, the ones who know their ideas aren’t just a passion… they’re a portal 

Here, we’re rewriting the rules of entrepreneurship.
Forget cookie-cutter blueprints and burnout culture, I’m here to help you grow a business that feels good, pays well, and the kind of personal freedom that only comes when you’re brave enough to do things your own way.

Through solo episodes and honest conversations with creative entrepreneurs, artists, and founders, I’ll give you the mindset shifts, marketing moves, and business tools you need to grow with clarity, flow, and profitability.

You’ll learn how to build wealth on your terms, show up with confidence, and finally trust that you don’t have to choose between creativity and success, you get to have both.

So if you’re ready to step into your next level, grow your income, and build a business that actually works for your life, you’re in the right place.

    Instantly hooked
    Only two episodes in and I’m already clear, this isn’t just another business podcast. Tracy brings a rare blend of creative depth and strategic clarity. From the way she breaks down identity marketing to how she navigates business pivots, it’s clear she gets what it takes to build something aligned and profitable. Even as a new listener, I can feel the power in this rebrand. Can’t wait to keep listening.

Every episode feels like a sacred permission slip to be more of yourself, think more expansively, and live more intentionally. 10/10 recommend!

    All Hype, No Follow-Through
    I used to be an avid fan of the Thrive by Design podcast, but my experience with its Momentum program left me frustrated and disappointed. The podcast hyped Momentum as a premium, high-value coaching program – the supposed game-changer for jewelry business owners. Trusting that enthusiastic promotion, I saved up and finally joined, excited to get the support and growth promised in every episode’s glowing endorsements. That excitement quickly turned into buyer’s remorse. Shortly after I signed up, the Momentum program was abruptly shut down with little warning. There was no real transition plan or meaningful support offered for those of us who had just joined. It felt like a bait-and-switch – the podcast sold me on a vision of long-term guidance, but when the program vanished, there was zero accountability from the host or team. The discrepancy between what was promised on Thrive by Design and what was delivered in the paid program was staggering. Let this review be a cautionary tale. Don’t be swayed by polished podcast promises without doing your due diligence. Before investing in any expensive program advertised on this show, research thoroughly and approach with skepticism. I learned the hard way that a charismatic pitch doesn’t always translate into the support or results you’re led to expect.

    I have been listening to Tracy for years. I was a new silversmith, teaching in public education and dreaming about a day in the future when I might be able to go full time. Her education and inspiration helped me take the leap, and I am so grateful for all of the tools. I am now full time and excited about the potential!!

  • awesome77777777777777777
    A lot of pushing and selling book and course
    Very salesy, mostly to push and sell classes and book. I actually “qualified” (read:entered my email address) for a “one-hour website strategy via Zoom.” Totally misleading as all that zoom call was for was to answer questions about the different classes offered. Didn’t even discuss my work/website. No follow up at all either. Eh got turned off by all this
  • Lovely*22*
    Invaluable Resource for Jewelry Businesses!

    The real deal
    Tracy is the real deal in all things jewelry consulting. She knows her stuff inside and out/upside down. She’s honest, gracious, brilliant, and scrappy, and she shares all the angles in this podcast and in her book, which I own on kindle and paperback.
  • Podcast Ep.306
    INSPIRATION Alert!
    I loved your latest guest episode with Sarah Hawley, "Conscious Leadership and the Future of Work " was really insightful! I thought you asked some great questions that really gave us a good look into Sarah's journey with Growmotely. The aha moments were the best and I loved the energy you brought to the episode since it was my first time tuning in! I loved hearing how Sarah is trailblazing the space and how she has been authentic and unapologetically herself with her business journey as she is revolutionizing the world of work. Bravo work, Tracy! I can’t wait to tune in for more episodes. This was my first time tuning in and I loved hearing how to scale and grow a brand that works for you in your specific industry.
  • brensocial

    Even though I’m not a jewelry designer, Tracy gives so much practical info on the podcast that can be applied to any business. Not only does the podcast include tangible strategies, it also helps with the mental shifts needed for anyone trying to run a successful business!
  • Randi @kasandklostyle
    AMAZING INFORMATION
    Update - 4/20/22: Definitely a MUST listen to for product businesses. I make handmade jewelry, and also purchase her book, and EVERYTHING she shares on this podcast, in her book and in her courses is the TRUTH! This is my first time listening to this podcast and there is SO much information packed into just one episode. Highly recommend just based on the website and other communications I’ve read. I can’t wait to binge the other episodes!! Randi @kasandklostyle
  • candiceevep
    A great source of guidence
    This podcast is an amazing guide to owning a product base business. Anytime I feel like I’ve hit a wall with my business I’ll put an episode on and immidiately be motivated again. I also love hearing from other jewelry designers, it makes me feel like I’m not alone and gives me ideas on what I can implement in my business. This show should definitly be a tool in your tool box for your business.
  • PuccaHess
    An amazing resource
    This is such a great resource for a product-based business owner! I get so much out of every episode I listen to. I especially enjoy episodes about mind-set, as that seems to be a sticky point for me and a lot of other business owners. I am so grateful Tracy lets us peer into her brain and her successful business model every week!
  • Glee Lover in CA
    Great resource for any creative hoping to market their work
    Tracy and her guests are in my ears every time I sit down at my torch to create my glass beads. I have benefitted greatly from her podcast episodes and am now putting her tips to work in my emails, website, and social media accounts, with great results. She speaks from many years of experience and can help you take your business wherever you want it to go.
  • cmro_24
    A lot of talking and little action items.
    I keep trying with this podcast, but typically left with just as many questions when I started. I recently tried the episode to grow to $500k. I can’t remember one helpful takeaway. There is a lot of self promotion here and a lot of mindset talk. Not much practical tips to implement in your business.
  • Shelby Clement
    This podcast is awesome
    Great podcast! Thanks for having me as a guest and I love how informational your podcasts are! Keep killing it! 🤩
  • JustACarGuy
    A Jewelry Designers Business Toolbox

    Holy moly
    Girlll!!! I was totally tagged into the ad for this latest podcast about copying and plagiarism on Instagram by a friend. I actively have been copied with IDENTICAL products by my husbands ex wife on 30+ products so far. I have filed for legal copy-write licensing (mind you, that’s $65 an application) on the pieces that qualify. Applied for patents, filed legal cease and desist and more. She DOES NOT stop. She now has gone as far as to copy my top seller and claims it’s “different” due to the fact she’s added fringe. People literally will see her jacket and instantly think it’s my product. She’s now copied my logo, renamed her company to the name of the piece of art that my logo is based on that I designed myself. I’ve blocked all her accounts on every platform. Whole 9 yards. This was such a great podcast to listen to, now to listen to more! 👏🏼🖤
  • Tessy Bannz

    Motivates me to Be Brave in Biz
    Tracy’s “Creatives Rule The World” reached me at the right time! I was thrilled to discover she had a podcast targeted to jewelry businesses.
