Meaningful Third Act. What is it, who is it for, and why does it matter.

In case you're curious, in the previous podcast episode I explained the evolution of this podcast from the Meaningpreneur Podcast to the Meaningful Ambition podcast, which now includes Meaningful Third Act.

The Meaningpreneur podcast has evolved into the Meaningful Ambition Podcast and here's why.

For over 23 years I've been a Business & Marketing Mentor to business owners. And I started the Meaningpreneur Podcast to highlight the different ways passionate business owners successfully market their businesses.

Meaningpreneurs are passionate business owners who find their work meaningful and who make a difference in their clients' lives.

This will continue, I will still have business owners on the podcast as guests.

The new part is that I've expanded my scope of work, as well as the people I serve, with my Meaningful Third Act initiative.

And one of the most magical ways to connect is at in-person events.

When I reached out to Marcia to ask if she would be interested in talking about how she has marketed her business she wasn’t sure I was knocking on the right door.

She told me she had never really had a marketing strategy and that most of her clients had come from referrals and inconsistent posting on LinkedIn.

I replied to say that those things are actually marketing. And as it turns out, she has done many brilliant things to grow her business. She just wasn’t

You will LOVE listening to this podcast where she shares her journey of starting her business and which marketing actions have worked well for her.

The key to a successful business is consistently connecting with your ideal clients.

There are many ways to do this. Some take more time, some take more money, and some take more energy.

And there is one marketing strategy that takes the least amount of time, money, and energy to get in front of the right people - that is being a guest on someone’s podcast.

But how does it work? Where do you find these podcasts and how do you get yourself booked on them?

Lisa Simone Richards is an expert on this topic and in this episode of my podcast, she shares everything you need to know about how to get booked on your first (or next) podcast.

Including how to deal with rejection, because not everyone will say yes and that is totally normal.

We also discuss the compound effect visibility can have for your business which can translate into people approaching you to speak or be a podcast guest.

And Lisa also shares what she finds most meaningful about her work.

She even has a free template you can use (it’s the same one she uses herself). See link below.

Oh yeah, and Ginger makes a surprise cameo appearance.

And here’s a bit more about Lisa and her work.
