Everyone wants to say ‘yes.’ It’s addictive! But we think you should say ‘no’ more often.

We’re chatting with Mason Atlas of The Hive SLC Tattoo shop about what to do when you just don’t feel like saying yes!

It’s all about the details. Sometimes that’s good and sometimes it’s bad. We talk with Juniper Finley about women’s clothing and the maddening lack of pockets!

It’s our first live episode! We dive right in to cognitive communication and how it can help or hurt your message, depending on how you use it. Also: the “tamagotchi of the car world” plays into that somehow. You can watch us here now, and again live next Monday morning! (10 AM Washington DC time)

Experience is the best teacher and the only way to get it is to go out and get it. This week we talk about putting yourself out there to try new things, no matter how crazy they might seem. You’ll never know until you try and trying things is what creativity is all about.

What does your shopping cart say about you? Everything you do tells a story, even your logistical choices say something about you. The ‘Celery Test’ is a neat way to think about that and analyze your own decisions. All that plus we touch on Simon Sinek’s “Start With Why.”

Stealing is easy and fun!  At least, it sure seems that way. When someone else has success with something it might be advantageous to follow their lead! Or it might be a big waste of time. Join us as we talk about social media platforms and their habit of taking someone else’s feature the minute it gains traction.

It’s exactly what you’re thinking. That’s right, we’re talking about Mr. Potato head and Dr. Seuss. Or more precisely, this week is all about controversy! Of course you know that it gets people engaged, but let’s talk about why that is and how it can help you.

We’re always talking about turning your message into a story. Today we use the streaming show ‘Ted Lasso’ as an example of what makes good storytelling. Sit back and soak up some examples. And it’s all spoiler-free!

In which we continue talking about tattoo artists, key publics, and how you differentiate yourself. Don’t advertise for your competitors! Explaining why people need you is just the first step.

In which we talk about leaky funnels and end up shipping Kirk off to Utah. Well, not yet, but soon. We also hear about the convoluted circle of the social-media-telephone game. Is it just luck? Maybe not. If you’ve already listened, Thehiveslc.com is the website you’re looking for.
