In this episode of the Growing a Deeply Rooted Business Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on the kind of content that doesn’t just disappear after 24 hours—but actually gets stronger with time. We’re talking about anchor content: blog posts, podcasts, and videos that continue driving traffic, leads, and sales for months (or even years) after they go live.

We share how we help our clients move away from the burnout cycle of posting daily on Instagram and instead build out a sustainable content ecosystem using long-form, evergreen strategies. You’ll hear real client stories, including how one article brought in 735 visits from Google in a single month—without a single Instagram post.

In this episodes, we cover:

• 00:26 The power of anchor content
• 01:39 Client success stories
• 05:54 The three E’s of evergreen content
• 08:09 Creating a strategic content ecosystem
• 15:58 Common mistakes to avoid
• 17:58 Implementation challenge and recap

In this episode of the Growing a Deeply Rooted Business Podcast, we’re flipping the script on everything you think you know about content creation. If you’re spending hours on social media every week and still not seeing traction, it’s not because you’re uncreative or undisciplined—it’s because you don’t have the right system. And that’s exactly what we’re diving into.

In this episode, we cover:

• 02:15 Myth #1: Good content must be brand new every single day
• 05:50 Myth #2: Repurposing is just copying and pasting
• 10:22 Myth #3: Repeating yourself will bore your audience
• 15:43 The Content Waterfall Method (and how we went from 10 hours to 2)
