Point Of The Story

Turning 1D Online Connections Into 3D Relationships with Xanthe Appleyard


Listen Later

Welcome to season two of Point of the Story! We’re coming in HOT with an all-guest lineup — starting with none other than my brilliant, hilarious, famous, cottage-cheese-obsessed bestie, Xanthe Appleyard.

If you don’t already follow Xanthe, you’re missing out on the kind of social media strategy that actually makes sense, one that is based on real connections that turn into real sales. She’s the type of person who could launch anything, and people would buy it just because she made it. And in this episode, she’s spilling all the tea on how to make that kind of magic happen in your own business.

We recorded this episode curled up on her couch in LA, where I was deeply considering squatting indefinitely. Meanwhile, I’m now back in Massachusetts, staring out at the ice and snow, wondering why I ever left.


TOPICS & TANGENTS

— Why social media is a relationship and not just a numbers game

— How to create content that actually connects (instead of just screaming into the void)

— The myth of “niching down” and what to do instead

— What it actually means to be a thought leader — even if you don’t think you are one

— The art of never shutting the hell up about your offer

— The very serious topic of Xanthe’s deep love for cottage cheese


POINT OF THE STORY

Social media works best when it’s human. Lead by showing up, starting real conversations, and making your audience feel seen.
