The Content Experiment Podcast

In August 2020, I didn't have plans to host a summit. I didn't have a team and I definitely didn't have the time to put an online event together. Know the feeling?

After chatting with Krista in episode 55, the idea started percolating and seven months later my first summit baby was born. I loved that conversation I had with Krista because I feel like it really laid the foundation for what it looks like to host a summit—without gaining too many extra gray hairs.

Now that I've been there and done that—and many of you have too—I thought it would be helpful to have Krista back to talk about upleveling your summit. With so many people hosting summits these days, we talked about how to make your summit stand out, what steps to take to avoid common pitfalls, and how to use your event to create lasting change in the lives (and businesses) of your audience.

One of those things that we hear a lot about is the client journey--the path people take with your brand. The truth is the client journey starts well before the initial discovery call. Your client's journey begins the moment they've identified the problem that you solve.

In this episode, I'm going to walk you through the client journey--what the stages are, what that content looks like, and some special considerations for the types of content you might create. And, as always, I do this with the caveat that you need to do what works for you.

This episode was just a fraction of what you'll get out of the free Client Journey ebook. Be sure to grab your copy to start your journey. Listen in!

Most people associate vulnerability with weakness. In reality, vulnerability is closely related to authenticity and integrity—all traits a strong leader should embody.

Today we're talking about, you guessed it—leadership. My guest is my amazing client Wendy Ryan, CEO of Kadabra, who works with organizations on leadership, change, allyship, equity, and inclusion.

Wendy and I talk about vulnerability among leaders, what it looks like, what's appropriate vulnerability (and when we've gone too far). This is such an important conversation because, as small business owners, it's important to recognize how much impact we have on our clients and our teams.

You've heard me say it before—you can't do your business journey alone. But how do you create meaningful, genuine, and authentic connections from a 20-minute Zoom call? Don't worry, it is still possible.

We touch on communicating with people from different backgrounds, making your team feel truly like a team, avoiding common mistakes some business owners make when trying to connect with others, and strategically choosing who you connect with to better your business.

The truth is many small businesses don't succeed. The health and success of your business don't necessarily equate to who works the hardest (even though hard work is a BIG part of it).

Your success and staying power depend on WHO you surround yourself with and HOW you show up for them.

Today I'm talking about the other people in (and around) your business—your business friends, the people you mastermind with, the leaders and members of programs you're involved in (both paid and unpaid), your clients, and so on.

If you take one thing away from today's episode, I hope it's a desire to find the right people to help you grow as a business owner, so you can grow your business.

Are you doing YOU in business? It's so tempting to take someone's teachings and ideas and implement them into your own business without thinking about the impact.

Learning new strategies and concepts is part of doing business, but being the CEO means that you take the time to find ways that these new ideas work in your business. Because not everything will...and you also don't have time to implement everything into your business.

Listen in to this episode as I give you permission to do your own thing with your content (and this applies to all aspects of business and life too!).
