Content Matterz

The act of creating content changes lives — it’s one thing for us to say as maybe we’re biased. But for someone else to say it from their experiences, we listen. That’s exactly what we talk about in this Content Matterz episode. 

Mark Metry, an important voice for social anxiety and mental health was a featured guest on the Entrepreneur Perspectives podcast. You can listen to both his episodes here:

Social Anxiety, Bullying, and Meditation

How Podcasts Saved My Life

We also featured a segment from these podcasts on how “podcasts saved his life“.

We’re obviously big believers in content creation so hearing this story about how creating content changed Mark’s life had us nodding along and listening. Because it’s true — creating content changes lives. I talk about how reading, writing, and listening had an impact on me before, during, and after building KazSource (and still today). 

You don’t know how the content you create will benefit you–or someone else. It’s something you can’t measure. And sometimes it has nothing to do with any sort of measurement. And other times, the measurement is far greater than anything you could have ever imagined!

In case you haven’t noticed, we love podcasts. In fact, yeah, you should have one. We’ll even build it for you. A podcast that is. Simply contact us here – we’ll get your podcast published, fast.

How Podcasts Saved My Life

Clearly, we like podcasts. So hearing this story about how podcasts changed Mark’s life piqued our interest in many ways. I talk about how audio (podcasts and audible books) had an impact on me before, during, and after building KazSource (and still today). 

Mark shares a story of listening to The Tim Ferris Show when Tim Ferris talked about being suicidal in college — Mark at the time he heard that story was suicidal in college. Listening to this episode and thousands more changed Mark’s life — saved Mark’s life.

Sometimes you don’t know how the content you consume will impact you–or how the content you create will impact someone else. It’s simply not all about the return you can spreadsheet. Sometimes it has nothing to do with the return. And sometimes, the return is far greater than anything you could have ever imagined!

This Charlotte startup company focused on branding and content FTW. 

Since one of the founders first appeared on the Entrepreneur Perspectives podcast in mid-2019, 2ULaundry has taken off! They now even have a franchise business in LaundroLab. Branding and content were some of the main drivers of that success. That included appearing on podcasts, creating content, giving the user consistency in design with logos, websites, and t-shirts, and utilizing social media including Facebook, Instagram, Nextdoor, and LinkedIn. 

In October 2020, the other founder of 2ULaundry came on the Entrepreneur Perspectives podcast–and we talk about many topics around his business, entrepreneurship, and branding/content. This episode gets into all that branding and content FTW!

In this Content Matterz podcast episode, Eric Kasimov talks with Alex Smereczniak, co-founder of 2ULaundry and LaundroLab.

This Charlotte business leader creates content for a greater purpose.

In this Content Matterz podcast episode, Eric Kasimov talks with Tony Tennaro, Principal Chair of C12 Greater Charlotte.

The concept of creating content didn’t happen overnight for this Charlotte business owner. As Tony said:

“When the idea of a website with my name on it was brought up my first reaction was-oh no! The world doesn’t need one more website.

As we talked more about it, I agreed to launch one. Why? Because the world does need more people talking about HOPE! Maybe it might even be more meaningful that I am just an ordinary guy who believes in an extraordinary God who does extraordinary things constantly with ordinary people. With faith in God, a hope for tomorrow, and a desire to have a significantly positive impact on people and the life they live, I am -like Star Trek’s Enterprise-going where this man has not gone before.”

More about Tony Tennaro’s mission | Guest on Content Matterz | “Why This Charlotte Business Leader Creates Content”

Imagine what a group of CEOs and business owners motivated to build great businesses but having a greater purpose can do with intentional focus, shared learning, and resources. This mission is challenging and highly rewarding but not meant to do alone. The power of Peer CEOs answering the same kinds of challenges and opportunities with a common set of core values around dour Board Tables has changed lives including our own.

Tony first appeared on the Entrepreneur Perspectives podcast. You can listen to that podcast here.

Make a connection through content or do the opposite. It works either way.

In this Content Matterz podcast episode, Eric Kasimov talks with Shondell Varcianna, Founder of Varci Media.

What if your content is the way you differentiate yourself? Yeah, someone may not like it–they may not even like you. What a time-saver that could be for you. Because if for example, you are recruiting that person, they were going to find out sooner or later that you weren’t their cup of tea. Let the content be the filter. And this works the other way too–people will come to value what you say and how you say it and they will seek you out in ways you can’t even imagine. Content has that power. We see it over and over.

More about Shondell Varcianna | Guest on Content Matterz | “Making Connections Through Content”

Shondell owns and operates Varci Media. Varci is a writing company in Atlanta, Georgia that helps financial institutions get more inbound inquiries by writing blog posts that convert. 

She first appeared on the Entrepreneur Perspectives podcast. You can listen to that podcast here.

Share a story on a podcast. What happens next is fascinating.

In this Content Matterz podcast episode, Eric Kasimov talks with Mort Fertel, the CEO of SudShare. 

SudShare helps is a marketplace for laundry. Both for the user and the Sudster. But they are not just a laundry company. They are a tech company. And they are a company that shares content. Their CEO appears on podcasts sharing the story of SudShare, talking about his own philosophy, the dynamics of a family business, and answering questions around all of it and more. And while doing that, people are learning about a new opportunity to work with or use SudShare. And beyond that, a listener may be inspired to do their own thing–to think, “what is possible”. And all of that and more comes from sharing stories through podcasts. The same can be said for blogs and videos and social media posts — in their own way of course. It’s the sharing of stories on a podcast and other mediums that lead to fascinating things.

It’s simple. Podcast interviews are more personal than company presentations. In this Content Matterz podcast episode, Eric Kasimov talks with Jereon Corthout. Jeroen is the co-founder of Salesflare. We get into the essence of why Jeroen appears on podcasts, why he hosts his own podcast, and how podcasts are more personal than company presentations.

There’s leverage in podcasting (and content in general, including blogs). And that leverage if authentic includes, meeting awesome people, finding new connections, becoming a better listener, becoming a better communicator, driving new business without being sales-y, and other ancillary benefits.

This doesn’t mean a podcast interview must lead to new business. But as we often find out in business — business is personal. And what better way to start off or build a relationship than with a conversation that all involved are present for.

About SalesFlare: Salesflare is known as the Intelligent CRM. It is a simple yet powerful CRM for small businesses selling business to business.
