What is involved in the marketing of water?
Rob Koenen is my guest on today’s podcast. Rob is the chief marketing officer of the Michigan based company, Boxed Water. We had a great talk about sustainability, changes in business due to the lockdown, and future expansion plans. Boxed Water is doing great things outside of just providing great tasting water by incorporating the planting of trees with their social media fans. Make sure to check them out and see how easy it is for them to plant some trees with just a post.
It was interesting to hear Rob talk about working for a company with a bigger purpose versus just marketing for another company. Make sure to listen for their approach to sponsorship opportunities and how they feel about influencers.

On today's podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting AM Davies, an exceptional individual with a multitude of talents and a strong dedication to supporting and championing dancers and strippers. AM's own journey as a stripper, pole dancer, and pole dancing instructor grants her unparalleled insights into the needs and rightful aspirations of individuals working in these professions.
Our conversation was truly enlightening as we delved into her vibrant dancing career and her unwavering advocacy for dancers nationwide. AM not only shares her personal narrative but also provides a platform for numerous dancers to share their own stories through her podcast and social media channels. Her commitment to amplifying the voices and experiences of dancers is truly commendable.
However, our discussion took a poignant turn as we explored the impact of a life-altering accident AM experienced, which ultimately led to the amputation of her lower left leg. This profound event added an additional layer of complexity to her journey as an exotic dancer, as she had to navigate the challenges of learning to walk and perform with a prosthetic leg. Despite these adversities, AM's resilience and determination shine through as she continues to thrive in her profession.
Furthermore, our conversation addressed the detrimental effects of the global pandemic on strippers and everyone associated with dance clubs. AM shed light on the profound challenges faced by these individuals, highlighting the widespread negative consequences of the pandemic on their livelihoods and well-being.
Overall, my discussion with AM Davies was an incredible opportunity to explore her multifaceted experiences as a dancer, her invaluable advocacy work, and the resilience she has demonstrated in the face of personal and societal challenges.
