I catch up with Jennifer Dubowsky on today's episode. I actually interviewed Jennifer last year. She was the very first person I had interviewed for the podcast, way back when! My good friend Jennifer is a licensed acupuncturist based out of downtown Chicago, Illinois. Since the last time we spoke, she has discovered she's doing her best and most authentic work through writing. Not only has her writing led her to connect with more people all over the world, but it has also opened more doors and opportunities.

By the way! Do you like the new look and feel of the podcast? Let me know what you think!

Key Insights & Aha Moments:

*Thank you for listening and sharing your feedback.

*Jennifer's blog has attracted more opportunities for her and has built a deeper connection with her audience.

*This is not a message about starting a blog! It's about doing your most authentic work through the medium you love the most.

Maven Moment:

Social media is a great marketing channel, which is why producing regular content is very important. However, you do want to evaluate your marketing strategy, frequently, to see what is working and what is not working. So many people miss this point that I would really like to drive it home. You never know 100% what your audience wants from you, which is why experimenting with your content strategy and analyzing the results is extremely beneficial.
