Quietly Iconic
Conversations
Thoughtful conversations. Meaningful __.
What does it look like to build a successful business without losing yourself in the process?
In Quietly Iconic Conversations, brand strategist, identity thinker, and former therapist Lynn Hawthorn sits down with founders, entrepreneurs, experts and leaders who are making a meaningful difference in the world in ways that are true to who they are.
These are thoughtful conversations about business, ambition, creativity, leadership, money, visibility, impact and life.
Listen or watch:
Less noise. More resonance.
Hear how thoughtful, accomplished people have made decisions about growth, money, visibility, leadership, relationships and the direction of their work.
Their experiences give you something far more useful than a formula: context for thinking through your own choices.
Learn
There are as many ways to build a meaningful business as there are people building them. These conversations offer real examples of founders and leaders creating success around their strengths, values, priorities and lives.
Shift
Sometimes the most useful thing you can hear is a perspective that changes the question you’re asking. You might see a familiar problem differently, make a decision you’ve been circling, or recognize an opportunity you hadn’t considered.
Summon
Building something meaningful can be surprisingly lonely, especially when your ambitions and your values don’t fit neatly into the prevailing business culture. These conversations offer an ever-growing collection of voices demonstrating that it is possible to build, succeed, and have an impact without selling your soul to fit in.
