Sharing yourself on your podcast is the way to build relationships with your audience. However, you need to be careful what you share. SHARE YOURSELF AUTHENTICALLY We have group calls twice a month inside the Podcast Profits Accelerator. This is where a group of podcasters are growing the audience and business. You can see details at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/accelerator. On a call the other night, one of the members asked what they should share and how much. What you share on your podcast needs to be strategic. It should reinforce your brand. What you share should build relationships. DESI SAW US AS FRIENDS When I was on the radio, it was my goal to get my listeners to see me as their friend. They would take me with them everywhere they went by listening to me on the radio. I was on the local Top 40 radio station and had a girl who would call me often. She had a severe developmental disability. It affected her speech which made her difficult to understand. When I couldn't understand what she was saying, it would make it ridiculous to make her laugh. She may be asking it I could play 'Nsync. I would say, "Did I lick the kitchen sink?" Desi would laugh and laugh that I couldn't get it right. We would break it down by word until I finally got it. Some days were better than others. She was in a wheelchair. Her assistant at the home where she lived would sometimes bring Desi to see me at remote broadcasts when she was up to it. I would give Desi some of the t-shirts and prizes we were giving away and have a little fun. SHE FOLLOWED ME I then moved to the country station in town. Desi moved with me and would continue to call. However, her call were becoming less frequent. Her health was starting to decline. We still talked and laughed. She had new songs to request, and I still got it wrong. Then one day Desi's assistant called to tell me Desi was moving to a new facility and wanted me to know. She gave me Desi's new address so I could write her which I did. Just a quick note to tell her I hoped she was doing well. That was the last time I heard from Desi. Her calls stopped after that. I just hope I added a little smile to her day every once in awhile. That's what can happen when you share yourself with your listener. DON'T SHARE TOO MUCH On the other hand, it can be dangerous when you share too much. Don't share you address or the school of your small children. You don't want to share when you are going on vacation and won't be home. Avoid sharing anything that could make you vulnerable. Most people in the world are nice. They have no ill will against you. However, some are crazy and evil. There are people who may not like what you say or think you are better friends than you really are. You don't want to live in fear. But you also don't want to leave yourself exposed. I DIDN'T MEAN TO SHARE MY BABY It happened to me when we were having our first child. I was working at the Top 40 station at the time. My wife and I were expecting our first baby. She went into the hospital on a Friday morning to deliver our little girl. This wasn't something I share much about on the radio. I did mention a few times we were expecting. That Friday I wasn't on the air. Our little girl came into the world with little complication. She was beautiful. Saturday morning we woke up and were discussion our departure from the hospital. My wife was still in bed with our daughter. We were waiting for the doctor to come by the room. Around lunch, a visitor appeared at the door. It was a high school girl who listened to the station and called often. She had brought a gift for the baby. It was quite awkward. We chatted politely for a few minutes. Then I stood up to thank her for coming and politely escorted her back to the elevator. Trouble was averted. But it was a little crazy that she even knew where we were. 2 LADIES TALKING SEX It can happen to you if you are diligent about what you share. Sometimes that includes protecting your identity depending on your content. One year a Podcast Movement, Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting and I were standing in the lobby of the hotel deciding which panel to attend next. That's when two twenty-something ladies approached us. They had recognized us and had questions about their podcast. The two proceeded to tell us they hosted a very popular podcast about sex. They both used different names on the podcast. Aliases. The podcast was becoming very popular. Their brand was growing. Now these young ladies wanted to know if they should start using their real names to build their personal brands or continue using the aliases. Dave and I both suggested they continue to use the aliases. The content of their show could potentially attract the wrong people to be superfans. They surely didn't want a dangerous individual showing up unexpectedly that could do them harm. Use good judgement. SHARE YOUR BRAND So, what do you share and how much? Begin by writing your origin story. How did you develop your superpower? When did you discover you have the ability to do what you do? Write all of it. Then, find the pieces of that origin story that support your brand and your foundational principles. Demonstrate what you stand for and what you stand against. Drip pieces of your origin story into your content episode after episode. People will get to know you over time. And more importantly, get to know your brand. I share many of things I've encountered over my 35 years in radio and dozen years in podcasting. We talk about the people I've met and the challenges I've encountered. You know I love hockey and live in the Midwest. We talk about my passion about adding more relationships to the world, because I see my kids lacking powerful relationships due to technology. On the other hand, I'm not telling you my address or where my wife works. I didn't tell you I was spending a week in Colorado skiing in January before I went there. It's not that I don't trust you. I just don't need someone showing up at my hotel room or worse yet, showing up at my house while I'm not home.  Use common sense about what you share. Share your beliefs and values. Share stories that support those beliefs. Don't share personal information that could put you in danger. Share to build the brand and attract your ideal clients.   If you don't have a mentor who can take your hand and walk you every step of the way, go to www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/apply, click the button and apply to have a chat with me.

Storytelling is a fundamental aspect of human connection and branding. Brand building is akin to world building, allowing for creativity and uniqueness. Authenticity is crucial in branding; imitation does not lead to success. Community can be small and still meaningful; it doesn't have to be large.

Insider Interviews
Chad Hickey: How Givsly Taps Brand Values to Drive Business Growth

Insider Interviews

We've heard “doing good” can be good for business. But Chad Hickey, CEO of Givsly, is helping brands do more than “good,” but to align their values with consumers to drive growth and meaningful impact. And in just six years his company has directed over $2 million to nearly 500 nonprofits and likely made 8 out of 10 consumers happier! On this last 2024 episode of Insider Interviews, I couldn't think of a better way to give back to YOU, my valued readers, listeners and watchers, than to have Chad share how Givsly helps companies weave their corporate values into traditional business activities—like events, marketing, and advertising -- and thrive. Because, he emphasizes, “8 out of 10 consumers say, 'I will buy from a brand based on if they support me or shares the same values as me'.  ...If brands aren't paying attention to that, they're losing out on business.” I'm one of the 8: I met Chad during a 212NYC holiday party that added a Givsly style “giving back” layer — assembling comfort bags earmarked for the formerly incarcerated. It made my evening — and upped my appreciation for the organization, so I begged Chad to tell me more. So, listen to all his actionable insights, but here's the topline: Rethinking Events: Making Connections With Meaning We've all done the industry happy hours with similar players and same conversations but Givsly will incorporate some way of giving back. “We can merge the traditional world of dinners and concerts with what I think is a more advanced way of speaking to people based on who they are as a person and what they value as a human being, connecting in a deeper way as humans and not just businesspeople." Marketing With Impact: Why Swag Is Out The antidote to of a cabinet full of branded water bottles? Givsly's “Season Without Swag” initiative, which allows brands to offer donations aligned with a client's favorite causes. As Chad put it: “It's not just better for the planet —it's a better way to use those dollars more efficiently, build relationships, and move people through the marketing funnel faster.”  Advertising That Performs—With Values What about ads? Givsly brings values into advertising with interactive campaigns that let consumers engage while triggering donations to nonprofits. For example, a consumer might scan a QR code on a CTV ad and choose between two charities to support, providing valuable insights for brands. And there are many things to support. A la my previous episode in Season 1 with Sustainable Brands founder, KoAnn, who eschews "CSR" and speaks instead about "business opportunity" when tapping into values, Chad saya: "We don't say 'purpose' and 'cause marketing' and all of those things. It's because it's too narrow. It's bigger than that. Values are something that is in everything that a brands does.   Chad emphasized the effectiveness of this approach: "We firmly believe that we are on the tipping point of the phase of Values Media...and brands having to have value solutions that help them speak to that consumer based on not only what they want to buy, but what they care about is who they are." Beyond Politics: Values That Resonate With Everyone Not every value-based campaign has to be political, or polarizing, Chad reminded me. “Whether it's sustainability or supporting cancer research, we help brands showcase what they care about in ways that connect to their customers—and their business goals”​ The key, he says, is focusing on authenticity. “Values are embedded in everything brands do. It's not about February is Black History Month or a one-time initiative—it's about integrating these values year-round.”​ May your upcoming year be filled with value, health, and a meeting of the minds. Coming in January? Conversations with Spectrum Reach, Lou Paskalis and more! Key Moments: 02:50 - Transforming Events Into Value-Driven Experiences 06:10 - Replacing Swag With Sustainability

While growth is exciting, it can also bring unexpected challenges that make you question if you're ready for the next step. I've absolutely been there, and I know those feelings well. In this episode, we'll explore why setbacks are a natural part of the growth process and how they can actually be a catalyst for positive change. We'll also discuss practical strategies to manage self-doubt and keep moving forward when things get tough. What We Cover in This Episode: Why Setbacks Are a Natural Part of Growth: Setbacks don't just mean something's gone wrong—they're an inevitable part of pushing your business beyond its comfort zone. We'll talk about why they shouldn't be viewed as failures but as markers of growth. Reframing Your Mindset Around Setbacks: We'll discuss how changing your perspective can transform setbacks into opportunities for learning and improvement. Instead of viewing them as roadblocks, think of them as stepping stones toward your next breakthrough. Practical Strategies to Manage Doubt During Growth: Scaling often brings feelings of uncertainty and comparison. I'll share tips on how to break your goals into smaller wins, seek the right support, and reflect on your progress to keep doubt from holding you back.

Nic has worked with brands across the board at Selfridges, John Lewis, M&S, Waitrose and Ocado.

So, if you've ever wondered how to get your brand noticed by a big retailer, this episode is for you! What We Cover in This Episode: What Retailers Really Look For in Small Brands: It's not about how big your brand is or how many followers you have. Nic shares the key things that actually grab a buyer's attention—things like your story, your product's uniqueness, and how well you align with the retailer's values. How to Approach Retailers Without Feeling Intimidated: I know reaching out to a big retailer can feel scary, but Nic walks us through how to approach them with confidence. From getting your pitch and emails right to knowing when to reach out, she shares the steps to make it easier and less overwhelming. The Importance of Persistence: Landing a deal doesn't happen overnight, and Nic talks about why following up is so important. She also gives tips on how to stay in touch with buyers in a way that feels natural and not pushy. Why Your Size Doesn't Matter as Much as You Think: This is one of my favourite takeaways.

Key Takeaways: Buyers are looking for authenticity, innovation, and a good fit with their customer base. Confidence in your pitch and preparation will go a long way when approaching retailers. Persistence is key—keep those relationships alive with consistent follow-ups. You don't need to be a massive brand to land a deal; it's about what you bring to the table.

What lights you up? Seems like an easy question on the surface, yet if you were to sit and really think about what truly lights you up, it might feel like a trickier question to answer than it initially appears.What lit us up in the past, might not anymore, whilst other things we loved years ago -  things or places we might have forgotten about and/ or no longer make time for - could be exactly what we need to bring more joy and a sense of self connection back into our lives.In this episode I talk you through exactly this, breaking it down into two stages:First of all I invite you to go back in time (only if it feels safe to do so), looking at your personal growth journey and how it can affect your sense of what you enjoy. Here I chat about the notion of ‘losing yourself' along the way, with examples such as parenthood, life changes and transitions and more.Once you know where you're up to in your journey - in life, which ultimately leads you to where you might be up to in your business and/ or personal brand - it's time to flip the switch from your inner to your outer world as I invite you to dig deep and look at what lights you up NOW, and how you can even bring this into your business!I share my own journey plus recent realisations around what still lights me up all from a day out with my kids, plus plans to bring this in it my own business in the near future.This is the second in what I am calling the ‘YOU & Your Journey' mini series of solo episodes which begins from the last solo which is episode 062 ‘8 Ways to Keep the Energy Going When Your Own Energy Feels ‘Off', all the way to Episode 070 ‘Bringing Your Quirks into Your Business & Brand… And Owning Them!'... before ending this season for the Summer holidays with a solo which brings all of these together with intention as we look at ‘Messaging, Mindset and YOU!' (with more brilliant guest interviews in between!).I'd love to know your thoughts on this, and especially if it inspires you to reconnect with what you love and/ or to even bring it into what you do! About Carly:Carly is a Personal Brand Strategist, Messaging Mentor, Event Host/ Strategist, and Mum of 3 based in the North West of England, Uk.Carly believes in working in a soulful, yet intentional, way; inviting you to reflect on and/ or shut out any marketing tactics that aren't for you, to  focus on brand energetics and attracting soul aligned clients instead.

“Customer obsession” is an overused phrase. But for Frette, it just might be true. Phillip and Brian sit down with Paola Pugliese of Frette to discuss heritage luxury, DTC-specific category extensions, and the future of brand activations at cultural events. Recorded live at eTail West.“Quiet Luxury is Not a Trend”Key takeaways:- The power of consumer demand has grown, with brands needing to be true to their values and work closely with customers for relevance and delight.- Frette focuses on partnerships with select partners, such as hospitality properties and designers, to ensure their products land in the right environments.- Quiet luxury is inherent to Frette's DNA, focusing on quality, heritage, and timeless design rather than logo branding.- Brand partnerships expand brand reach and offer opportunities for exclusive experiences and collaborations that go beyond just selling products.{00:08:12} - “You have to be true to your value and really work with your customers firsthand and understand what is the best way, as I said, to serve them, to also delight them, surprise them, and keep being, in a way, present in their daily lives.” - Paola{00:11:23} - “For a luxury brand, especially, services are fundamental. And there's no better way to design your next relevant service or product than actually asking the people that are going to use it.” - Paola{00:14:56} - “When you really have the same vision about the importance of the experience of the customers and the way you want them to enjoy the product, then you can also create interesting partnerships that go beyond just selling the product.” - Paola{00:25:38} - “Quiet luxury in itself is not a trend, buzzword. We were there before. We are gonna be there after. What is gonna speak for us is forever the quality, the heritage, what we stand for. And that is always going to be the best value for us.” - Paola{00:29:19} - “I love what you're saying about brands being the new muses, which is also building on the fact that brands need to have an opinion and share the values, and executives need to put their face after what the brand stand for.

I always love when I get to talk branding with other experts and discuss their unique perspective on the topic. Today's guest did not disappoint. Davis O'Hearns, founder of Dawn Creative, joins me to discuss brand values and how they should be ingrained in everything your business does, down to the questions your receptionist asks when greeting clients. David takes us through the client journey and how to easily implement processes that reinforce your values along the way. Remember, consistency is key! David's take on branding includes:  Your logo, colors and typography are just your visual identity - not your brand To fully develop your brand you need a purpose, values, direction, vision, behaviors and to keep a promise How to build small, easy processes into every step of the client journey to reinforce your brand values How to reverse engineer your values by first identifying what you hate The importance of carrying values through both digital and physical interactions Why your purpose should be written with “blue sky thinking” Document what you stand for and then take action!

Two years ago, a group of pro skiers, photographers, filmmakers, and friends launched 1000 Skis. They did this because they wanted to “move the culture forward,” make skis they weren't seeing on the market, and because they just flat-out love skiing. Magnus Graner and Pär “Peyben” Hägglund were two of those founding members, and Luke Koppa sat down with them for a wide-ranging conversation that covers everything from the origins of the brand to their prototyping process; how they've prioritized — and acted on — sustainability from the start; the challenges and rewards of the unique ways in which they've been filming The Bunch's upcoming film; why they like what's currently happening in freesking; what they hope to see from the industry in the future, and more. We also touch on why Peyben had to break into a French villa to record this conversation…As is illustrated by their wide-ranging personal careers in the snowsports world, Magnus and Peyben are thinking a LOT about all sorts of this world's different elements and aspects, so it was really fun to get their thoughts on a whole bunch of them.TOPICS & TIMES:Intros & 1000 Skis Background (2:35)Design Philosophy & Brand Values (6:15)Making Skis for Yourselves & for Consumers (10:23)Prototyping Process (14:14)Life Cycle Analysis & Sustainability Efforts (22:28)Why the All-Red Graphics?
