  • Putting Your Customers First to Grow an Amazing Business with Kerrie Fitzgerald

    In today's episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Kerrie Fitzgerald.

    Kerrie is an amazing entrepreneur that built a subscription business from nothing to amazing in just a few short years... all without using any paid ads!

    Kerrie's strategy was to create robust and amazing client experiences, promote customer referral programs, and host monthly contests to grow her business organically.

    She talked to her ideal clients, figured out what they wanted, and then gave it to them. Surprise, surprise... it worked!

    Today Kerrie is writing her second book and teaches other entrepreneurs how to build and scale an e-commerce brand from scratch without paid ads, just like she did.

    In this episode we talk about how Kerrie came up for her business idea, the groundwork she did before she launched, and then how she built and sold this business in just a few short years.

  • Trademark vs Copyright: Can you tell the difference? (Episode 37)

    I remember back in law school when I first started learning about trademarks and copyrights.

    I hadn't a clue what the difference was between them, or what they would have meant for my future business ventures.

    You probably feel the same way. That's why I decided that this weeks video would be a little different than ones I've done in the past.

    It's a bit more interactive and fun. Not only did I talk briefly about the importance of trademarks and copyrights, but I also explained how they differ and then used some real world examples from around my house to show you the difference.

    Can you tell the difference between a trademark and copyright?

    Let's see... Enjoy.
