The InDependent Spouse Podcast


The weekly InDependent Spouse podcast is a series of fun, informative podcasts for the military spouse business owner

The InDependent Spouse podcast was born from a need to hear something new.

A need to hear from the inspirational men and women who experience service life from the ‘home-front’ while creating successful businesses.

To give a voice to those who are already achieving amazing things, and to inspire those who dream of doing the same.

As the traditional role of the ‘military spouse’ continues to evolve in line with the military itself, it seems only fitting to reflect these changes in a modern way. What’s also clear is the importance of developing your own role; one that gives you, the spouse, your own voice while also complimenting that of the service member.

In this series, Jess, a current military spouse running a business while living the ‘magnolia wall life’, explores the world of running a business by chatting to inspiring military entrepreneurs who do the same.

 So sit back and listen to their personal stories. Hopefully one day we’ll hear from you!

Today I have been talking to Jo Milmine from Shiny Bees.

Jo is a former RAF Aerospace Battle Manager who turned her love of knitting into a multi-award-winning podcast series. Since August 2012 Jo has hosted the Shiny Bees podcast, a show about knitting and yarn mixed with snippets of Jo's life and a lot of comedy goodness

Originally started as a hobby to fill her time during a posting to Africa Jo built a location independent business to move wherever she was posted. She now records podcasts whilst traveling the world, and Shinybees was awarded ‘Best UK Podcast of 2016' at the New Media Europe Awards and ‘Most Engaged Audience of 2015' at the UK Podcast Awards.

Jo also works as an online business strategist, helping creatives plan their businesses and so this episode is jam-packed with handy business tips, even if you never picked up some knitting needles.

I loved chatting to Jo, she's funny, informative and so very inspiring so I hope you enjoy this episode with Jo Milmine from Shiny Bees.
