It's been a minute, but on this show, I talk about building your business by creating connection and community online and off. I firmly believe that by consistently doing so, you'll experience more ease and happiness in your marketing endeavors. And who doesn't want more of that? Anyway, I’m talki

It's been a weird few weeks trying to heal my voice, which has meant that I haven't been as consistent, but here I am still helping you build your business by creating connection and community online and off. I often talk about creating curiosity, and in this episode, I just wanted to clear the air

In this episode, I’m sharing a little more about myself and why I do what I do. You see, I started my first social media company about 13 years ago. Like many other new businesses, before I knew it, I started hustling. I was going to all the networking events, scheduling lots of coffee meetings wit

I’m back answering more of your questions. I answered 3 of them in the previous episode, and I have 5 more in this one. Where do I even begin? If I can only do one post where and what.

If you’ve been listening to this podcast for the last month, you may have noticed – I mean, how could you not – that something is going on with my voice. I do have an answer – it’s a paralyzed vocal chord and unfortunately, it’s going to be like this for a while. It would totally be the perfect reas

In this episode, I’m talking about the connection between Social Media and Google and why it matters. Just to be clear, this is not about what you should or shouldn't do, even though that might come out a bit in what I share. People say so many times when discussing their business and social media

You might have noticed that in the podcast introduction, I often talk about how I see so many of you working way too hard.

--I get it. It's so much easier to scroll and ‘Like.’ But, ‘Like’ never started a conversation, or continued one - or had any impact on building community.

I mention in my podcast intro that I'm not going to ‘should’ on you, but I know that a lot of other people — experts and social media gurus— have ‘should’ on you in all sorts of ways. And so I wanna talk about that in this episode. A question that comes up all the time, whether I'm speaking to peop

Before we jump in, I want to thank user Conica13 for the Great Review. They said, “Thanks for suggesting one action item at a time. You are inspiring.” Well, thank you so much. I love hearing that. (Maybe you too could hear your name on an upcoming episode if you leave m a review.) Now, onto 10 si

I want to talk about ROI, the dreaded ‘Return on Investment’ discussion. More importantly, what is the ROI of social media? And listen, if the only thing you're considering is ROI, you might be missing the wider picture.  I remember having a conversation with someone years ago –she was in promotion

I know when I talk about bringing ease and joy into your marketing, some of you might be rolling your eyes or scoffing to yourselves.
