It’s another THROWBACK THURSDAY week… which means we’re resharing one of our most-loved Coffees and Content episodes (that you may have missed the first time around).

This time, we’re diving into the question so many of you are asking: are you selling the right way on Instagram?

In this episode, I break down exactly how to use Instagram’s most powerful (and often underused) sales tool - the DMs. You’ll learn how to turn conversations into conversions, why content needs to educate and inspire (not just sell), and how to use tools like ManyChat to do the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

This one’s all about making Instagram feel like a place of connection, not just another marketing task on your to-do list.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why DMs are the most powerful sales tool on Instagram (and how to use them with strategy)
• What content you actually need to build trust and generate sales
• How to spark genuine, helpful conversations that lead to aligned clients
• Why ManyChat is your secret weapon for automating without losing connection
• How to structure an Instagram sales funnel that doesn’t feel icky
• The content types that build warm audiences and get them ready to buy

In this Social Sessions episode of Coffees and Content, I’m back with the incredible Amy (@amzdicko) from The Social Summit for round two - and we're diving into the conversations that matter most right now in digital marketing.

We’re unpacking:

• Why your DMs are more powerful than your feed (and how Amy sold out her conference using them)
• The Instagram update I’ve been waiting for (hello, voice note transcripts 🙌)
• Whether Instagram is still worth your time in 2025 (spoiler: it depends on your goal)
• Why UGC is evolving and what brands really want now
• The shift from how-to to how-I content - and why personal storytelling is outperforming polished strategy

You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at the Social Summit 2025 (and a sneaky community discount too).

Let’s get into it.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• How to sell without “selling” using DMs
• Why EGC (employee-generated content) might be the new UGC
• What’s actually impacting your Instagram reach (plus real stats)

I know how frustrating it feels when you’ve done the work, your offer is solid, and yet… people still aren’t buying.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing exactly why that might be - and spoiler alert: it’s probably not your offer. It’s your messaging.

After taking some time to rest and reset, I’m back with clarity, creativity, and something big: my brand-new group coaching program, The Modern CEO. And today, I’m walking you through the exact mindset and strategy shifts that took me from inconsistent sales to running a multi-6-figure business.

If you’re posting consistently but still not getting the results you want - this episode is for you.

Inside This Episode:

• The “content trap” that keeps founders stuck in burnout and confusion
• Why being visible everywhere won’t grow your business
• What six-figure business owners really understand about messaging
• Why your offer suite needs a top-down strategy (not random price points)
• My repurpose → repeat → reframe method for sustainable content

PLUS ... I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how The Modern CEO came to life - and why this program is going to change the game for so many of you.

Whether you’re at 3K months trying to go full-time or ready to finally scale past 10K, this is the reset your marketing has been waiting for.
