On this episode, I chat with friend and owner of both Auctus Social and Content on Connection about why you don't need 10,000 followers to earn a full-time income on Instagram. As Sam says, "likes are not leads." Vanity metrics should not be your goal on the platform. Samantha shares the 4 building blocks you need for consistent growth on Insta.

My plan is to have a book discussion the first Tuesday of each month. If you want to follow along, check out the book list.

On this episode, I talk with Crystal from Crystal Lily Photography about diversity in entrepreneurship. The conversation with Crystal started when I saw her post about her obtaining a certification from Equally Wed. We discussed LGBTQ+ representation in portfolios within the creative space. That led to a broader discussion on race and inclusion in business in general. I'm no pro on this topic, but I wanted to discuss it because openness to having the convo is the best first step.

Truth be told, I have always had a rough time with email marketing. I found it confusing. I had 18 freebies and no strategy. I have struggled sharing my content, knowing what to tell my email subscribers each week, and knowing when and how to spread the message when I have a new awesome service or product. However, I recently went to a conference and took away a great strategy on how to turn a cold follower into a warm one, and decided to use that system to streamline my email marketing. In this podcast, I share my step-by-step on how I set up my email funnel nurture sequence.

Whenever I see someone pose a legal or tax question on a Facebook group, I take a moment to breathe deeply before I begin reading the inevitable dumpster fire of answers below. I get it. Everyone wants to be helpful. It feels nice to provide valuable insight. It's just problematic when that insight is not grounded in expertise, or at least in a basic understanding of the issue. In this episode, I want to provide the answers I have found and explain why they're incorrect, so maybe you can be more aware of when you're reading misinformation.
