When was the last time you paused to consider how your well-being affects your work? Ashleigh Hubbard joins Lauren Loreto in a heart-to-heart about the symbiotic relationship between personal health and professional success.

We've talked up and down about how to use AI in marketing, but what about to create more efficiencies in overall business operations? On this episode of She's Busy AF, Lauren brought on Weston Ferguson, COO of McGraw (a growth agency), to dissect the role of AI in reshaping business operations. They chat about how AI tools like ChatGPT are not only simplifying HR processes but also fostering a climate of innovation and efficiency that amplifies human talent rather than replacing it. They chat about the delicate balance between technology and the human touch, exchange stories and strategies for conducting tech stack assessments, and reflect on the sobering responsibilities of data management, ensuring client trust remains unshaken.

Strapped for cash but overflowing with ambition? In this episode, I'm talking through marketing strategies that don’t require a Scrooge McDuck vault of gold to get started. This is a quick and simple guide to cost-effective growth, and in this episode of She's Busy AF, I break down how to expand your reach from zero to hero with a budget that's less 'Wolf of Wall Street' and more 'Babe the Blue Ox'. Join me as we explore the nooks and crannies of guerrilla marketing, where hustle meets strategy, and where every penny—or lack thereof—is put to work. Forget what you thought you knew about marketing; it’s time to get busy, get creative, and grow with tactics that are as affordable as they are effective.

As I, Lauren Loreto, mark the third anniversary of "She's Busy AF," I'm taking a moment to reflect and celebrate the defining moments and lessons from my entrepreneurial journey. From the seeds of ambition planted by my parents to the inception of my first marketing agency, I've been on quite the path that has led to the creation of Brand Good Time.

Hear how these experiences have shaped my understanding of work-life balance, my foray into the transformative world of remote work culture, and the surprising twists that brought Brand Good Time to life during a global pandemic.
This episode isn't just a trip down memory lane—it's packed with valuable insights for every business owner and aspiring entrepreneur. I dive into the nitty-gritty of HR compliance and how it's redefining our team dynamics and service offerings, and I get real about gearing up for maternity leave while keeping the business thriving. With a fresh focus on content marketing, strategy, and web development, we're paving a clearer path for growth. For those of you wearing the entrepreneurial hat, there's plenty of encouragement and wisdom on offer, from the significance of strategic investment to the camaraderie found among business-owning mothers.
