When Co-Founders Julie Sawaya and Ryan Woodbury decided to undergo nutrient testing, they were shocked to learn that despite eating and doing all of the "right things," they had serious nutrient deficiencies. Food alone wasn't meeting their needs. Both Julie and Ryan were seriously deficient in Omega-3 and other key nutrients for fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum well-being. As they set out on their own pregnancy journeys, they started doing the research and realized a brand centered around nourishment with better supplements was desperately "needed." Nearly all women have nutrient deficiencies, and prenatal vitamins were not making up the difference. Despite 97% of women in the US taking a prenatal supplement, 95%+ are still deficient. Their mission is to empower real nourishment in women on their journey to motherhood. They do this by helping mamas and mamas-to-be better identify their nutrition needs, creating supplements that truly work in meeting those needs, and building a supportive community of like-minded mamas and trusted health practitioners.Julie also shares:Her own personal journey of motherhoodHow building a practitioner partner community is the foundation of the brandWhy finding the right person to fund the brand with empathy was essentialExpansion plans You'll also hear Julie's biggest insights and what's next for Needed.We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Julie's journey and the growth of her brand.

It's hard to believe this is the 200th episode of The Profitable Photographer Podcast. But you know what they say… time flies when you're having fun!And believe me, when I say, this episode was so much fun to record! To celebrate our 200th episode, the interview tables were turned and I was interviewed by a good friend, coaching client, and fellow podcast colleague, Kathleen Kent of Kathleen Kent Photography and The Household Six Podcast. Honestly, it was a little nerve-wracking turning the interviewer's microphone over to Kathleen. After all, what do you ask a podcast host that's hosted 200 photography business episodes? Well, as I'm sure you can guess, I shouldn't have worried at all. Kathleen was an amazing host and brought some very insightful questions to our time together. Not only did we take a trip down memory lane to chat about how I got started as a photographer, but she also asked me about the choices I made in my early days of business, and if any of those still stand the test of time. (Spoiler alert, they most definitely did!)Listen in as we talk about:How being involved in the photography community has impacted my businessThe moment I knew that I wanted to be a photography coachThe pieces of advice I give to my photography coaching clients over and over againMy strategy for building a personal brandWhy you should just go for it when it comes to hiring a photography business coachAnd finally, why I started The Profitable Photography podcast. I might be biased, but this episode is jam-packed with so much goodness, and Kathleen and I had such a fun time chatting together! Also, don't forget, you can watch my interview with Kathleen on The Profitable Photographer Podcast Youtube channel.

Consider how you could do more of the things that you are truly passionate about. Open yourself up to building relationships with people and learning from them, especially those who come from a very different background than you. Everyone is different; apply that truth when coaching in a group. Developing your personal brand starts by pulling out that authentic identity that most of us are very afraid to show. Doing that will take some vulnerability on your part. When you know what your “why” is, conversations are just much easier and they will flow better because you'll have a clearer picture of who you are. When you're in a space where you are working in service of that “why”, you will feel more grateful for your life. “If you're only in it to make buckets of money, at some point you're going to be obsolete… People don't want to be seen as transactions, they want to be seen as people.” - Jelaire GrilloConnect with Jelaire Grillo:Website: https://www.phmloans.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jelairegrillo/ Connect with Steve and Jason:LinkedIn: Jason or SteveWebsite: Rewire, Inc.: Transformed Thinking Email: grow@rewireinc.comShow notes by Podcastologist: Justine TallaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

This story is pretty lit and the game that Rondel Roach supplies for us today is very insightful for anyone trying to create a brand from a-z on their own.Rondel is the co-founder of the soap brand Bombd Aesthetics alongside his business partner and wife back around 2018. The origin story of the soaps was to help their daughters who were born with sensitive skin. However, there was a demand for the soap Rondel and his wife was making. They eventually go to making 5-6 figures, hiring multiple employees, and getting a warehouse to supply and distribute the soap.We have Rondel to break down the story and teach us the following:How at the beginning of the entrepreneurial journey you're going to suck but you will ultimately get better (for example, the first set of creatives around the products were very basic and elementary but over time is has a professional look. Go check out their Insta.)How creating content and creating a community was everything in the success of their brandWhy you shouldn't care about a product being too saturatedThere's no such thing as taking an L. Instead its an experience you can learn fromHow to use Instagram alone to get more brand awareness and sales using paid shoutouts, influencers, and ads.Check out Rondel's "Fire Your Boss Challenge" here:

On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, we have Brinda Krishnan, Global Head- Employer brand & Tech community, Agoda Having worked in advertising and marketing for over 15 years, Brinda frequently shares her perspectives on talent and brand through her articles on LinkedIn.In this episode, we discuss:What should companies do to normalize career breaksThe ‘art of storytelling' in employer brandingWhy rejecting candidates is actually good for your employer brandHow to use social media for a successful employer brandWhy candidate experience during the hiring process is super-criticalMaking your career break count:Humans are designed to work and network. Articles written by Brinda mostly revolve around women and their career journeys. In this discussion, she emphasizes women choosing career breaks. If a woman picks this option, it does not mean she is not willing to work. She has to prioritize something else that she feels is more important. It is not a problem at an organizational level but a regional level. Hiring women offer more diversity in the workplace. Thus, currently, organizations provide plenty of networking options for people who might have taken career breaks. However, individuals have equal responsibility for understanding their priorities. They need to figure out the what, why, and how of restarting their careers. They need to stay sharp and updated with the industrial happenings. Moreover, they need to display confidence while interviewing and networking.Power of storytelling in employer branding:Brinda mentions how people enjoy storytelling. People like to experience a journey with people they can connect with. An organization can beat its storm. However, if a candidate is not connecting with them as a person, the effort made in employer branding gets totally wasted. Organizations need to focus on humanizing their brands through factors like sentiments, props, people, and modules.Storytelling allows space for humor and sentiments that brands want the audience to carry back. And every organization needs a marketer to perform this effectively.New ways of better employee recognition:Employees appreciate a little recognition now and then. It motivates them to perform better. Since the majority of people are working from home, the simple modes of appreciation have changed. According to Brinda, organizations should put a great emphasis on driving peer-to-peer recognition. They can create simple online ‘thank you' templates. In addition, colleague appreciation sessions, team shoutouts, and other virtual team-building activities. All these ideas turn out to be effective gestures to bridge the gap between homes and offices.Offering a better candidate experience:Candidates are the customers that should never be disappointed. Organizations should build an effective employer branding strategy backed with a strong employee value proposition (EVP).Organizations should ensure that the EVP remains the same throughout the candidate journey.The success of an entire candidate process heavily relies on the recruiters and interviewers. Thus recruiters should be made a part of the business discussions. Moreover, the hiring managers should be trained to reflect the organizational culture and EVP. They need to do their homework before interviewing a candidate. The following key move to enhance this procedure is the simplification of the application process. Brinda talks about a survey that says 60% of candidates stop filling applications because of their length.Follow Brinda on LinkedInProduced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Lokesh Gautam

With reopening somewhere on the horizon, it’s important for theatre companies to plan how to bring an audience back. In this episode, we talk about the elements involved in building a personal brand. We then explore Seth Godin’s concept that marketing is storytelling, which is lying and how theatre companies can use that to reach the right audiences with their marketing. Building a brandWhy do you want to build a brand? What’s the value of caring about your reputation, whether you’re an organization or a an individual? Why do you need to take steps in order to be invited at the table? Why can’t we just do the work and be recognized for that? Building a brand is not just a sleazy endeavour, touted by douchy marketing bros. It’s about your desire to transform the world and your brand is an invitation to others who want to see that transformation to participate in the work that you do. Plugging in to your audience’s storyWhile there is a need for us to step up to the plate and constantly advocate for our art form, effective marketing is not that. Good marketing is not about making the arguments for theatre as an art form, your brand or your play in particular. Good marketing is telling a story that fits within the story your audience is already telling themselves. You don’t need to convince the exhausted parent who just wants to spend Friday night chilling on a couch with Netflix on TV and TikTok on their phone to give up their hopes for comfort and enjoy a night out. There’s a large audience out there who is looking for something new and exciting to do on a Friday night. Your marketing strategy is to meet people where they are instead of trying to convince them of something else. It’s the same when it comes to arts advocacy. The people you want to reach with your message are the ones who will effectively spread it for you. Putting this together with your brand, the ongoing relationship is where you deliver that transformation that you and the audience are both looking for. ReferencesAll Marketers Are Liars, Seth Godin
