As we get close to the 10 year anniversary of More Than a Few Words, I've been digging around in my archives.  This week I've put together two episodes that both deal with small businesses and the economy. Although the episodes are 10 years old, there's a lot of relevance for business owners today.
This first episode starts with a story, but it's really about business owners using the economy and factors outside of their control as reasons for not investing and not growing.  
In the second episode, I discuss why businesses needed to start spending and investing as the economy was improving. These same strategies will help keep your business strong in 2020 if the economy turns into a downward spiral, as well,

#421 Survive and Thrive Regardless of the Economy

More than a Few Words - A Marketing Conversation is a smart, down-to-earth show about what’s really working in marketing and what isn’t.  All in about 10 minutes. 

Every week, Lorraine Ball sits down with marketers, entrepreneurs, and the occasional mischief-maker.  Some are seasoned pros. Others are figuring it out as they go. But all of them share tips you can use. And stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

No fluff, no jargon, just real-world lessons, actionable ideas, and a peek behind the curtain of what actually works.

What You’ll Hear:
• Real talk with real experts—marketers, creatives, business owners who’ve been in the trenches.
• Marketing strategies you can actually use—no jargon, no gatekeeping.
• Encouragement without the ego—especially for women building bold businesses on their own terms.
• A mix of wit, wisdom, and the occasional marketing metaphor—because learning should feel like a good conversation, not a lecture.

We’ll unpack what’s working, what’s not, and what’s changing in the digital marketing world so you can spend less time guessing and more time growing.

Whether you’re growing a brand from your kitchen table or the corner office, you’ll find ideas, inspiration, and a few laughs along the way.
