In this episode, join me as I interview Phil, the founder of Baton, a referral marketplace that recently won the Silicon Slopes 2022 Startup of the Year Award. Phil shares his journey as an entrepreneur, from building a website that helped people find the most relevant bank offers, to creating Baton, a platform that helps companies find new customers through a referral marketplace.

We dive deep into the challenges Phil faced as a founder, including his fear and hesitation when putting himself out there at trade shows, and how he learned to trust and delegate responsibilities to his growing team. Phil also talks about the fulfillment he found in creating jobs and providing a positive work environment for his team.

Phil shares his decision to fully commit to Baton and how he overcame fear and uncertainty on his entrepreneurial journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, startups, and the lessons learned from building a successful company from scratch. Tune in to hear Phil's insights and experiences on the rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship.

Today, I interviewed Martin. Martin is a successful entrepreneur and his most recent company has over 80,000 users, and he has been bootstrapped. Make sure to listen into this podcast interview to hear his journey, but also his advice on building and starting a successful business. He also has some unique experiences where he is not a technical person, but he has worked with technical people and grown a successful SaaS company.

Copywriting isn't necessarily an easy skill to master, but it's definitely worth knowing what makes a great sales pitch for your business. In this episode, I talk to Martin Sayers, CEO of MS Copy and we discuss the 3 most common copywriting mistakes every startup founder makes and how to avoid them when promoting your business.

Leading with intention is one big word to me. I like to use intention as a way to explain what I want to be thinking about, especially as a leader. In this episode, I talk with Ashlee Livingstone, CEO of Our Forte. We talk about how to become an evolved leader by understanding and being aligned with your organization's values as well as empowering employees through leadership and accountability. It can be one of the toughest parts of the process to lead your team with the values in mind, because it's hard to know how those values fit into all of the things that your team is doing. However, working toward a common goal and staying aligned with each other can help empower employees towards growth and success.

In this episode, I talk with Katherine Williams, co-founder and chief editor of Variantista. We talk about the importance of storytelling to connect with your target market. The key to connecting with your target market and creating a relationship is storytelling. Storytelling is the way people relate to information, and it can also be used for spreading brand values throughout a community. You need to tell stories about what you've done, why you do things and how people benefit from your products, services or ideas. if you have a deep connection with your audience already, then it leaves an opportunity for them to bring them through, nurture that relationship and then at some point into the conversion phase or continued loyalty.

Today, we're going to talk about why it is so important to find product market fit, and how we found product market fit for our virtual assistant staffing company using really just one tool. Now, product market fit is hard. It takes time and to find true product market fit, that really takes years. But this one tool that we used is probably the quickest way to really start your product or service on the path to success and the tool that we used can help you find estimated or predicted product market fit. So, it's not perfect, but it is a really good indicator of future product market fit.

As a founder, I find it incredibly difficult to find time to create content when I have so many other important tasks on my plate. My mental bandwidth is already being used up in other areas of business that it's difficult to be creative when it comes to content creation. Now, I recently discovered Chat GPT. You may have heard about it in the news, and I wanted to see if this tool could be used to save time creating content. In this first solo cast episode, I'll explain how I've used Chat GPT to speed up my content creation process.

Full video of Chat GPT Tutorial is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jzAdYVouN4M

In this episode, I talk with Bob Hunter with My Business Credit.com. We talk about what it's like to take credit or to take debt as a business, and when is the right time that you should do that. We talk about what it's like to have smart debt, debt that actually is going to work for you and generate some kind of ROI and how business debt is much different than like personal debt. like taking out a credit card or a loan to buy a Tesla just because you want it like that is not going to give you any ROI other than enjoyment. But then businesses, they can take out credit, some kind of loan, a line of credit in a smart and efficient and a safe way mitigating risk. But once they do that, they can grow quicker and they can generate, hopefully, an ROI that will more than pay back that debt. So, if you do it the right way, there could be a good route to taking debt in your company. And Bob Hunter gives us some great tips and advice on how to do that.
