In today's short sweet solo episode, we talk about how to juggle your own busy festive schedule (holy heck, every year with the busyness) with the maintaining warm, engaging connections with your customers.

It's a season filled to the brim with demands on our attention (I'm wrapping up my last workshop of the year this week and debating the necessity of a December 22nd newsletter). But also a golden opportunity to nurture customer relationships through storytelling and sharing personal insights from our business world.

We'll explore why slowing down and sharing authentic stories can be a powerful strategy to stand out in a crowded inbox. Hope you enjoy the listen.

Gus is a marketing strategist whose career's taken him from the corporate car trade to pub landlord to agency founder. 

Now, as a mentor, speaker and social media expert he's helping small and large businesses thrive online.

This episode is packed full of classy design takeaways that'll make your content and visuals - well - easier and better.

I'm chatting to designer, copywriter and growth strategist Redona Dida about how she's used the power of knowledge-sharing to grow her Instagram to 100k followers. 

And no we are not be talking about Reels. Redona generously shares her expertise (what colours to use in your design, what fonts, what layout, how to get your audience to engage with your content and act) in bite size easy-to-digest graphics and carousel posts.

We talk about the energy driving her growth and success (she's growing her business whilst raising her baby) and how she's spending her money.

Enjoy and email if you've got feedback it's wonderful to hear from listeners [email protected].
