243: Poster Journal says what you think, so you don’t have to.

In this giggly but deep conversation, Chelsea sits down with Poster Journal (PJ), who has the mind of a stoic but the mouth of a snarky Gen-Zer. They talk about shooting your shot, why famous people aren’t special, constraints for creativity, PJ’s original entry in the online world, how creative ideas strike us like lightning, how no content strategy is a strategy, PJ’s frustrations with his current creative process, where his daily insane vlogs came from, how copycats (including UrbanOutfitters) don’t bother him, why giving up is easy but you shouldn’t, his fave slang words, and his obsession with Apple’s story.

242: Instagram started as a fun photo-sharing platform where we all shared photos of our chicken tenders at a sports bar, blurry nights out in bubble dresses, and sepia-toned photos of our new relationship.

As the story of all social platforms go - free apps need to make money somehow. Your attention is their favorite asset. Advertisers love attention (more data points), and social apps love money (and keeping investors happy).

This episode explores the history of Instagram - how did it turn into this insatiable hamster wheel? Should we get off? HOW should we get off? And what if, as business owners, the platform goes under - should we diversify our marketing efforts?

Chelsea explores all the above in this in-depth episode, and walks through ways to deprioritize social media. She shares new ways of doing business online, with a heavy emphasis on relationship-building and increasing visibility through guest podcasting.

241: Influencers, celebs and mega coaches are often treated as mythical Gods. We act as if they're untouchable, immune to the suffering life brings, and operate with zero worries in the world.

But when we put them on pedestals, we dehumanize them. In the same vein, we make ourselves small. The automatic comparison and projection prompts self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and keeps us stuck in a constant cycle of feeling inspired, then comparing, sabotaging or worse, staying stuck and never trying at all.

In today’s solo ep, Chelsea deep dives into this concept. Why do we put so much weight into social following? Why are we so quick to take IG photos as truth? Why don’t we use more discernment when making snap judgments?

She also shares ways to take people off of pedestals so you can finally get out there and shoot your shot. Pitch that host. Message your fave mentor to come on your podcast. Land a dream guest interview.

Your stories matter.

240: After years of messy, chaotic and failed launches, Chelsea was determined to sell out her first group program of 2024 with 2 goals in mind: it had to be easy, and had to be marketed with minimal social media.

This episode is for you if:

• You hate launching with a fiery passion and want to hear about new ways to execute your next launch
• You’re terrified no one will enroll in your program (and what to do if only 1 person joins)
• You want to market your work with less social media and make algorithm-free sales
• You’re curious about expanding your business and testing new ideas after years of them sitting in dormant in your mind
• You’re ready to take on more group offers vs. 1:1
• Drafting sales pages is the bane of your existence
• You need help breaking down the steps of a launch
• You’re a nosy B and want the tea of a sold out launch

If you want the practical (color coding expenses, tracking every dollar, and cutting costs) AND energetic goodness (vision boards, painting your nails green, and mocking up screenshots) to build momentum, this episode is for you!
