As content creators grow in the digital space, they're adding more video and podcast content to their blogs and online identities. My podcast is a little less than a year old and gotten serious about my video content within the last year, but many of you have asked how I'm so confident on my podcast and in YouTube videos. I definitely have my insecurities like the next person, but there are a few tricks that help with my confidence.

In episode 79 of the podcast, I break down how to come across confident in your podcasts and videos with three tips.

Is Facebook still important? Yes. And it's worth separating your personal profile from your public (business/blog/brand) page. Sure, it seems like extra work, but in episode 78 of the podcast we'll break down some good reasons why it's worth separating the two if you choose to market and engage with your audience on Facebook.

Today on the podcast I'm answering a question from Twitter. Tiffany asks if she's gotten too specific because she's primarily focusing on Black millennial women. She also questions the definition of niche. In episode 77, I break down the fundamental difference between niche & target audience and why you need both.

It's tough to build your following online. You're not sure if people will like what you're doing so you're apprehensive to share, but you know you need to get people to you blog/profile/business so they can hire you, collaborate with you or buy your product. And finding a way to do that without being annoying and spammy is quite the struggle. In episode 76 of the podcast, I share how it's possible to be shameless without being spammy and indeed, build your online following.

I have a lot going on. My business has really taken off in the last 6 months within the first calendar year of me being a mother and my marriage has never been better. But I must admit, my friendships have taken the L for it. Not because I love my friends any less, but because the way my life is currently set up I just don't get to hang out as much as I'd like. In episode 75, I get candid about how life is making me a sh-tty friend and how I've dealt with it.

You can't do it alone. Trust me. I've tried and failed many of times. Even if you just want to blog, eventually you'll need help staying consistent and creating high quality content. In business, you certainly need employees to help the flow of your company and ensure quality control & customer service. But I get it: trusting people and making sure that you can pay them can be daunting. In episode 74, I talk about how to get people to work for you (even if you're just starting out.)

Some of you may listen to my other podcast, Mattie & Chris, that I host with Hubs. We're coming up on our podcast's one year anniversary and we're so happy with the success of it. It wasn't easy. In the beginning we had a newborn (whose now a very busy toddler) and we think very differently when it comes to ideas that we want to execute for our brand. In episode 73, I candidly discuss the pros and cons of working with my husband in the case you're considering working with your spouse or significant other.
