Episode #34 Overcoming Imposter Syndrome - Impromptu w/Alex Farrell @AMF_photography

Imposter Syndrome could be holding you back from stepping out into social media. 

What is it exactly? Its when you question if you are good enough to be sharing your knowledge or content on social media. You think other people are better than you so are or more experienced and you question whether you are just a imposter or phony  who will soon be discovered by all.  We totally get that feeling and so does our Surprised to be our Guest Alex Farrell.

 Alex had no idea he would be joining the podcast and was lured in under false pretense of a fun dinner with Rachael :-) Well in all honestly it just sort of happened as Rachael and Neal were wrapping up another episode. We love what came from our chat with Alex about Imposter Syndrome and how to address it so it doesn't hold you back from growth on social media. 

We hope this episode will help you break free from the chains of Imposter Syndrome and start posting to social media more often. You have a lot to offer and there are people out there who are missing out on what you have to say. They don't know what they're missing yet so its time to step up and help em out by posting what you have to share.

We asked for questions and you delivered. Now its our turn to reply. Special thanks to Tiffany with Turnkey Photographic from Northeast Ohio for several really great questions that we dive into on this week's episode. 
Questions we are answering:

1. Tiffany Shoots HDR, her clients expect HDR but she wants to start shooting Flambient, is it worth the switch?

2. My website sucks and clients never ever book online, do I actually need a website?

3. GEAR! I don't want to lug a ton of crap around. I need to be light on my feet. What do you guys use for lighting? What tripod is your go to? I have a heavy manfrotto that i love, but it's clunky

4. Drone! What are you saying to upsell drones with regular listings?

Episode #30 Rebranding

Rebranding is the name of the game today!

Rebranding is no joke, especially when its a full Rebrand vs a logo and or look and feel "Refresh." What's the difference? We go into full detail in this weeks episode.

This episode is also a good one for those of you who haven’t chosen a name yet, this might prevent a rebrand in the future! 

Rachael has been through the process twice now with her most recent full rebrand to "Focused Media Collective," Neal is hopefully done tying up loose ends from his recent rebrand to The HYN Group. Both have learned a lot form the process and wanted to pass along the lessons learned to help your business should you ever undergo the knife of a branding facelift.  

 Here we go...

Were a little concerned we got you hooked on the drug that is social media and  never warned you of the perils.

We don't want you to get lost down the never ending social media worm hole. That's why this episode is all about tactics, techniques and mental focus for Better Social Media Habits . 

Were talking about "the great time suck," Negative Feelings-Self Doubt,  Competition, Imposter syndrome, and some things that had to be bleeped right the bleep out.  OK, lets ger er done!

Episode #28 Reality check-Social media wake up call

It's time for a social Media reality check. Social media isn't going away so if you're not consistently using Instagram, Facebook, youtube or tik tok it's about that time for a wake up call. 

In this episode we are speaking about embracing social as part of your job as a business owner. We know it's one more item on your plate but it simply should not be ignored any longer. Every day you are not posting is an opportunity missed for future growth and stability.

 Social media truly has the power to be a home run for your business but you can't have that success unless you step up to the plate and start taking some swings.

 Today we talk about what you really need to do and how to start. Honestly It's time for us all to accept, embrace and start posting consistently.

 If you're not already on the bandwagon, here comes your an invigorating cold splash of social-media wake up call!

Episode #27 After Hours with Austin Baker
