This week on the Getting Sh*t Done Podcast, we closed out the season with a proper Christmas Special featuring Keri Ackling and Tom Baker, the duo behind Snow Windows. And to make it even better, Tom painted our logo live in the studio while we recorded. Real Christmas magic.

Snow Windows started with Tom painting a single snow scene on a neighbour’s window. No plan, no strategy, just a bit of creativity. That one moment turned into a full-scale business that now works with Disney, John Lewis, Lego, Global, Harvey Nichols, Costa, Audi and more.

But behind the festive sparkle is a real story of graft and chaos. Keri and Tom have built something completely unique while juggling family life, raising a daughter who plays pro football at 11 and handling a business where 90 percent of the income arrives in one mad seasonal sprint.

From barely keeping up with demand to launching their own products, sprays, stencils and an online snow art course, they’ve gone from “fun Christmas idea” to a brand people recognise across the UK.

We covered:

• How one hand-painted window became the Snow Windows brand
• The moment Keri realised this could be a real business
• Growing from neighbours’ windows to national retailers
• ⁠The social media post that blew them up and the ones that flopped
• ⁠Building products, sprays, stencils and their online course
• The reality behind a seasonal business and how they manage it
• Family life, teamwork and keeping the magic alive every year

Charlie’s story is rooted in purpose. After witnessing the devastating environmental impact of cotton farming near the Aral Sea, he became determined to create clothing that looked good, felt premium, and didn’t compromise the planet.

We covered:
