  • Off the Grid is produced with such heart. The intention and care come through in every episode. I've learned so much from listening, from doing a more thoughtful critique of AI and articulating how it's used in my practice, to thinking about time, ethics, and more. Thanks, Amelia, for all the work that goes into the podcast.

  • If You’re Sick of Social Media This is THE Show For You

    While I’m a podcaster, I listen to very few business related shows aside from Off the Grid. Amelia and her guests have conversations that rarely happen in business circles, and I appreciate how grounded and no BS they are. A must-listen show.

  • Literally the Only Marketing Podcast I Listen To

    I’m an artist, and you have to be careful with some marketing podcasts because the lessons don’t always apply to us—but this one does. The conversations are so relevant, and it’s refreshing to learn new ways to think and share that have nothing to do with social media.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

✳️ How to Refresh Your Ambition & Avoid Burnout in the Process — with Amina AlTai
Q: What practical steps can listeners take to refresh or reconnect with their ambition in a healthy way?
Focus on cyclical living, set boundaries around urgency, practice small, manageable actions, and adopt a mindset that embraces enough and embodied care, while leveraging cycles of rest and growth.
✳️ How to Refresh Your Ambition & Avoid Burnout in the Process — with Amina AlTai
Q: How do you define ambition, and how do you distinguish between painful and purposeful ambition?
Ambition is a neutral, natural drive for more life and growth; painful ambition stems from core wounds and a scarcity/mindset, while purposeful ambition is growth with collaboration, governance of needs, and sustainable action.
✳️ How to Refresh Your Ambition & Avoid Burnout in the Process — with Amina AlTai
Q: Could you tell listeners why you wrote a book about ambition and what makes it such a sticky topic for you?
The author explains that ambition intersects with identity and systemic factors, especially for historically excluded groups, and shares a personal history of burnout and illness that shaped her view on ambition as a neutral, natural impulse that can become harmful when driven by core wounds.
🦚 The Quick (and Free!) Brand Refresh Your Biz Needs — with Alex McGinness
Q: What about the role of expression and experience in a brand refresh?
Expression should align online and offline presence across platforms; experience involves mapping customer journeys and ensuring all touchpoints are coherent and purposeful, not just visually appealing.
🦚 The Quick (and Free!) Brand Refresh Your Biz Needs — with Alex McGinness
Q: How should listeners approach execution when refreshing their brand if they're doing it themselves?
Focus on two key areas: ensure the logo is recognizable at multiple sizes and verify color accessibility so the brand is usable by diverse audiences; keep fonts legible and avoid overcomplication.
