326: Create a content strategy designed for your business
Question... are you creating content because it actually aligns with your business goals… or because someone on the internet told you that you should?Because if I had a dollar for every time a client came back from a coffee catch-up saying, “Someone told me I should start a podcast” or “TikTok is where I should be”… I probably wouldn’t need another retainer. 😂In this episode, I’m unpacking why tru

322: Do you question your AI… or just trust it?
So… do you actually question your AI? Or are you just copying, pasting, and hoping for the best?Because I saw something unfold last year that made me go… yikes.A business owner posted bold, opinionated content calling people out... and when they got called out in the comments? Their automation replied with “check your DMs.”Not ideal… especially when you’re dealing with sensitive, high-stakes conve

320: What is organic marketing? Why you can't throw $$ at ads and it just...works
It’s easy to think that if you just post more or run ads, your business will grow… but real marketing doesn’t work like that.

318: Repeat and repurpose - talking about the same thing over and over again is a must
Ask someone close to you "what do I do, tell me in a sentence or two"? Can they? If not, maybe it is because you don't spend enough time repeating and explaining what it is you do. I will never forget a mentor said to me "you have to love what you do because you will be talking about it over and over and over again". Yep - except I find most of us still only scratch the sur
