Most service business websites have the same problem—they look professional, they took months to build, and nobody reaches out. Not because of the design, because the right person lands on it and cannot tell if any of it was written for them. A friend sent me her new website last week—she's a dentist with a side business selling dental products to students and professionals. She said, tell me what you think. So I looked at it and sent her a voice message back: do you want to be the next Amazon or the next Etsy? Because that's exactly what it looked like—white, cold, clinical, products lined up like nobody invited a human to the party. She works inside people's mouths for a living and people trust her completely in her practice. Her website had none of that. Here's what most service business owners don't realize: your website is a decision environment—someone lands on it and within seconds they're already forming an opinion about whether you're worth trusting, not reading carefully, not comparing options, just running one question in the background: is this for me? In this episode: why most service business websites brag and bore at the same time, what "20 years of experience" is actually doing to your credibility, why people form an opinion before they finish reading the first line, what the About page needs to do in 2026 that it never had to do before—including why AI tools are now reading it more than ever—and why redesigning is usually just avoiding the real decision underneath. This one is not about design—it's about what your website is actually saying when you're not in the room. I also talk about the vertical garden website I just built on Wix and why it ended up proving this whole point. You can see it here (it's in Spanish): https://jardinescolgantes.com/

Layla King discusses her impactful Girl Scout Gold Award project to restore Lincoln Cemetery, a historically Black cemetery in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Partnering with the organization Saving Our Ancestors Legacy (SOAL), Layla took a hands-on approach to preservation, learning to clean and level headstones using specialized solutions to ensure the names of those buried there remain visible to future generations. Beyond the physical labor, Layla utilized her leadership role in SkillsUSA to launch a school-wide awareness campaign and donor drive, successfully bridging the gap between spreading a message and inspiring community action. Her project not only honored local history but also paved the way for her current success as a computer science major at Howard University and the founder of her own web design business. More from Layla: I'm Layla King, a freshman Computer Science major attending Howard University. I've been involved in Girl Scouts since I was little (about 2013), starting as a Daisy and working my way up, then finishing as a Juliette to earn my Gold Award in 2025. Outside of Girl Scouts, I own a web design business called A Young Mindset, where my long-term goal is to build an agency that values more than profit. I want to invest in community service projects and provide unemployed people with the opportunity to learn web design through a training program and eventually work at my company. I want my business to be a tool for lifting others up. In college, I'm involved in Howard's Inaugural DECA Cohort, the College of Engineering & Architecture Council as an Advocacy & Inclusion Intern, and the National Society of Black Engineers. In high school, I played soccer and ran track, participated in FBLA (won 1st in PA for website design and 10th nationally), SkillsUSA as Vice President (placed 3rd in PA for web development and design), the National Honor Society as Co-President, the National Technical Honor Society, and Four Diamonds. Lastly, I became an Amazon Future Engineer Scholar.

Powerful Whispers: Hearing God for the body, soul, and spirit
Lyme disease healing testimony, supernatural healing story, and faith-based wellness come together in this powerful conversation about restoration, hope, and God's healing power. If you've been searching for encouragement in chronic illness, holistic health, or spiritual healing, this episode will speak directly to your heart.Three years ago, my guest was battling Lyme disease and walking through one of the hardest seasons of her life. She pursued both conventional and holistic approaches, but ultimately experienced a complete and supernatural healing through God. In this episode, she shares her journey, what she learned about faith in the process, and how that healing is now inspiring a new vision to create a ranch with horses as a place of healing and restoration for others.You'll also hear how horses played a meaningful role in her journey and why they are part of the bigger picture God is unfolding.This episode is filled with hope, encouragement, and a reminder that God heals in many ways through doctors, wisdom, community, and sometimes in miraculous ways we can't explain. Don't discount how God may choose to move in your life.ABOUT MY GUEST JENNIFER KNIGHT:Jennifer Knight grew up in Orange, Texas, a small town bordering Louisiana. She is the oldest of three daughters, born to the owners of the local camera store and dance studio. At age 20, she met a Welsh pastor named Sam Knight. Sam had come to town to write his dissertation and had planned to return to the UK at summer's end. Jen and Sam got engaged after only four dates. Five months later, they tied the knot. This threw Jen, a relatively new Christian, into the whirlwind of being a pastor's wife. Now, almost three decades later, they have served together at five churches, lived in three states, and had three amazing children, plus too many pets to count. Her moments with God inspired her book and the adjoining blog, JenniferThayerKnight.com. In 2017, Jen began her battle with Lyme disease, but God showed up with a miraculous healing in 2023. What became the hardest time in her life, God uses to inspire creativity in her writing, new ways to serve God, and new ways to disciple people. The goal of Jen's writing is to share her experiences, hoping to draw others into a deeper, experiential relationship with Christ.

She owns Powell Pharmacy, an Integrative Pharmacy in Powell, Ohio as well as Emlah Naturals, a third-party-tested dietary supplement line. Her focus on whole-person health emphasizes her pharmacy practice philosophy of "There is more to health than prescriptions". Her work is based on the pillars of Intentional Living: Nutrition, Movement, Inner Alignment, and Positive Social Connections. Lessons learned about Emlah or podcasting in this episode: We first met at the Ohio Pharmacists Association Annual Meeting in 2022. Her path from college graduate to independent pharmacy owner took her from Cameroon to Powell, OH (Columbus, Ohio area) Emlah started her podcast in 2025. She hesitated because she didn't think she was ready. Friends and family encouraged Emlah to start her podcast. Tim Ulbrich, PharmD was mentioned. Say "yes" to opportunities even when you don't feel fully prepared. Emlah's philosophy of Intentional Living & Integrative Pharmacy is carried out throughout her episodes. She used a table analogy to talk a out the Four Pillars of Intentional Living (surface = intentional living; 4 legs = pillars) Modern medicine + lifestyle + supplements can coexist; we don't have to live in extremes. Use nutrition to support medications Movement can be simple and accessible, like walking 30 minutes daily. Inner Alignment includes meditation, prayer, journaling, walking in nature, laughter, dancing, and more. Positive Social Connections prevent loneliness and promote longevity and fulfillment. Be intentional with whom you spend your time. Vitamin D is important. Know your Vitamin D level, and aim for an optimal level. Powell Pharmacy "does healthcare differently." For example, Comprehensive Health Reviews. Powell Pharmacy staff do > 100 squats/day! Emlah's podcast reaches an international audience. She enjoys learning about her audience. She publishes solo and interview shows. Episodes are around 30 min or less. Emlah's approach to overcoming tech intimidation with podcasting included delegating tasks. Every podcast episode includes an "intentional initiative." Emlah offers Professional Development Resources for Pharmacists. To learn more, visit https://www.dremlahtubuo.com/ Advice for aspiring podcasters: be a guest first, listen to good podcasts, learn from podcast hosts, don't wait for everything to be perfect Scheduling guests can be a challenge Apply Emlah's "Do, Delegate, Delete" strategy with intention. Batching episodes prevents burnout and inconsistency. It's okay if the podcast also serves you (you get something out of podcasting) Share what's in your head as a pharmacist podcaster.

What if your journey from poverty to six countries was shaped by stepping stones of relationships? In this episode, Ghazenfer Mansoor shares how Technology Rivers helps health tech companies build HIPAA compliant software products and helps healthcare service businesses 10x their operations through AI and technology. With a computer science background and experience building a recruitment SaaS company, Ghazenfer started Technology Rivers with one core philosophy: build it right the first time. Too many founders hire developers and end up with never-ending products that keep building but never launch. His team focuses on helping startups with limited money build the right MVP so they can get traction, get customers, and secure more funding. The work creates a double bottom line: supporting businesses solving world problems while creating opportunities and livelihoods for people across six countries. He reveals that his journey wasn't shaped by one person, but by stepping stones of relationships. Growing up in Pakistan in poverty, mentors and friends guided him toward education and opportunities that eventually brought him to the US. Coaches, entrepreneurial groups like EO, and books like "Who Not How" all shaped his direction. The most powerful story? Exchanging business cards at a conference. Months later, that person called about a project. Over six years, that one card exchange generated close to $2 million in business. [00:05:20] What Technology Rivers Does Software development business serving health tech companies primarily Started helping all verticals but gradually focused just on health tech Help companies build HIPAA compliant software products Work with healthcare service businesses, help them 10x operations through AI and technology [00:06:00] Build It Right the First Time Wanted to fix problem of never-ending products that keep building but never launch Companies hiring developers with products that are never ending Founders have limited money, need to build right MVP to get traction and funding Help startups build products right the first time so they're not broke if it doesn't work [00:08:00] Creating Double Bottom Line Impact Help companies create solutions that solve world's problems Every founder working with them is solving something, changing the world Also creating opportunities for people supporting those projects Team in six different countries, many in growing economies, creating livelihoods [00:10:20] AI is the Biggest Shift Started career in early web, but AI is even much bigger shift Mind blowing how things are moving, but also creating opportunities Much easier now for people who want to create companies and solutions AI not just solving existing problems but bringing new problems to solve [00:12:00] Journey Shaped by Series of Relationships Not just one person, journey shaped by series of relationships as stepping stones Growing up in Pakistan, mentor guided him to take risky opportunity That opportunity created by colleague in same company Friend said "you have to do your master's degree" when Ghazenfer only had diploma [00:13:00] From Poverty to Possibility Friend showed the path, arranged meeting, pushed toward higher education Was in poverty, didn't have means for education People supported along the way giving opportunities on jobs or introducing to something Each opportunity helped get to next step [00:13:40] Coming to the United States Would not have been in US without those opportunities Friend introduced to recruiter who was recruiting for company in US Coach helped see certain things in way he hadn't seen before Entrepreneurial groups (EO, Vistage forums) helped shape journey [00:14:40] Books That Shaped Direction "The Great Game of Business" by Jack Stack - partnership made based on this book "Who Not How" by Dan Sullivan - amazing book "What Got You Here Won't Get You There" by Marshall Goldsmith "How to Win Friends and Influence Others" by Dale Carnegie [00:15:40] Taking the Leap Created own podcast, started speaking engagements Wrote first book "Beyond the Download: How to Build Mobile Apps That People Love, Use, and Share Every Day" Now writing another book All these people contributed to growth, wouldn't be fair to point to just one person [00:19:20] Clients as Partners and Coaches Client gave guidance and tips that helped do things in certain way Coaching came directly from client to team: "If you do it this way, this would help me" Relationship with clients has always been as partners Client guided in terms of how to do things, shaped development effort [00:22:00] Co-Creation is Key Software development and product development can only work if co-creating Not about giving instructions and just doing it Believe in co-creation as collaborative effort Client comes with idea, have to discuss, brainstorm, come up with right way [00:23:40] Challenging in a Positive Way Someone said "you would challenge our client's business approaches" Don't challenge their decision, communicate and make sure they hear alternate options Challenge in positive way: "Have you thought about this alternate option?" Show three ways of doing something with one recommendation [00:24:40] Three Options, One Recommendation Not making decision for client, letting client make decision Giving enough information to make the decision If only give one option and it doesn't go well, it's a problem Software products need that product approach with enough guidance and information [00:27:00] The Power of Physical Business Cards At conferences, people say "Who uses cards nowadays?" Challenge: Once you leave a conference, how do you remember who you connected with? If just connect on LinkedIn, no reference left when you have thousands of contacts Physical cards are cheaper and provide tangible reminder [00:27:40] The $2 Million Card Exchange Years ago at conference, sitting with someone, exchanged cards Few months later, guy called: "We were on same table, you gave me your card" Working on global software project, needed help Got that project, then partner introduced them to another company [00:28:40] Six Years of Business from One Card After six months of work, got another project, then another one Over six years timeframe, got close to $2 million in business From that one card exchange From that point, focused on improving quality of card and keeps bunch with him [00:29:20] Cards Keep You Top of Mind Cards are cheap but provide reminder when back at home or office In sales they talk about follow ups: be in front of people at right time Traditional way but works for Ghazenfer Still keeps bunch with him all the time [00:36:20] Be the Go-To Person Book "Networking is Not Working" by Derek Coburn resonated Want to be go-to person for anything - even if someone needs a plumber Are you the person who's connected to many that friends always call? If you are that person, makes huge difference KEY QUOTES "Software development, product development can only work if you are co-creating something. If the clients are giving instructions, then we're just like everybody else, then we are not really doing our work. We believe in co-creation." - Ghazenfer Mansoor "You wanna be the go-to person for anything. If somebody even needs a plumber, who do they call? Are you the person who's connected to many that your friends are always calling you?" - Ghazenfer Mansoor (quoting Derek Coburn) CONNECT WITH GHAZENFER MANSOOR

The Cult: The Cannabis Business, Culture, and Marketing Show
What’s the real purpose of a website in 2024? In this episode of Hybrid Marketing’s Office Hours, Tyler Jacobson, Matt Gillespie, and Aaron Rosenbluth tackle a question most marketers avoid: when was the last time you actually visited your favorite brand’s website? Starting with frozen pizza brands and ending with strategic insights for cannabis businesses, this conversation challenges conventional wisdom about digital presence. The team discusses why they completely abandoned educational blog content after years of heavy investment, how Google’s AI overviews are reshaping SEO, and why consumer behavior has shifted from brand loyalty to convenience-first shopping. You’ll learn why B2B websites need to serve as sales enablement tools rather than traffic generators, how dispensary websites should prioritize user experience over content, and why some of the most successful brand websites focus on unexpected experiences like merchandise drops and interactive games rather than product information. The conversation also explores the harsh reality that many websites exist simply to validate legitimacy rather than drive transactions, and why aligning your expectations with actual user behavior is more important than chasing vanity metrics. Whether you’re marketing a cannabis brand, running a dispensary, or managing any B2B or B2C business, this episode will help you rethink what your website should actually accomplish and where to invest your marketing resources for maximum impact. Key Takeaways: Why educational content strategies have fundamentally shifted The critical question every business should ask: “Why would anyone come to our website?” How to align website strategy with actual customer behavior The difference between websites that support sales vs drive direct conversions

⚠️ Cloudflare Internet Outage; Adobe x Semrush Deal: Tech Dependency vs Business Website Strategy with Favour Obasi-Ike | Sign up for exclusive SEO insights.This is Marketing Club Clubhouse discussion, primarily focusing on the widespread impact of a recent Cloudflare outage that affected numerous popular platforms like ChatGPT, Spotify, Uber, and Zoom. Favour Obasi-ike uses this event to emphasize the importance of business continuity and operational redundancy, urging listeners to research and select robust platforms for their own enterprises to mitigate the risks of future outages. Furthermore, the discussion touches upon the rapidly changing tech industry landscape, including the significant Adobe acquisition of Semrush and the competitive moves of companies like Canva, prompting audience commentary on the potential implications of these corporate shifts on product quality and market strategy. Favour also suggests alternative hosting solutions like SiteGround and Hostinger as more resilient options for business websites.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services?

When the internet infrastructure company Cloudflare experienced a major outage, it was far more than a momentary glitch.Its scale was staggering. Suddenly, a diverse range of major companies—including Canva, ChatGPT, Spotify, Uber, and Zoom—were all experiencing issues simultaneously. The event wasn't just a technical problem; it was a revealing moment that offered a rare peek behind the curtain of the digital world. It exposed hidden vulnerabilities and surprising dynamics within the tech ecosystem we all depend on. This article distills the three most impactful lessons learned from that single event.1. The Internet Isn't a Cloud, It's a Jenga TowerThe Centralization SurpriseThe core lesson from the Cloudflare outage was the shocking revelation of just how centralized our decentralized-seeming internet truly is. The popular image of the internet is a resilient, distributed network, but the reality is that a small number of foundational companies form the base of a massive Jenga tower. When a key block like Cloudflare was jostled, users quickly discovered that dozens of different services were all pointing "towards one direction," revealing a hidden single point of failure. Seemingly stable pieces higher up—from your design software to your ride-share app—began to wobble.This one incident impacted a staggering list of applications, highlighting the sheer diversity of services reliant on a single piece of infrastructure: Canva, Archive of Our Own, Canvas, Character AI, ChatGPT, Claude AI, Dayforce, Google Store, Grinder, IKEA, Indeed, League of Legends, Letterboxed, OpenAI, Quizlet, Rover, Spotify, Square, Truth Social, Uber, and Zoom. For the average user, this means the digital services that feel distinct and independent are, in fact, far more fragile and codependent than they appear.2. While You Were Offline, Big Tech Made Some Bizarre MovesA Bizarre Acquisition Amidst the ChaosWhile the digital world was grappling with the outage, news broke that Adobe was acquiring SEO tool Semrush for $1.9 billion. This development, happening alongside the infrastructure chaos, sparked widespread confusion and skepticism. As many in the tech community noted, Semrush "has nothing to do with creative" software, which is Adobe's core domain.The concern was palpable, with one community member expressing a common fear:"I really hope this Semrush acquisition doesn't affect quality and support. Big corporation buyouts [rarely succeed]."The analysis behind this seemingly strange move points to the disruptive force of artificial intelligence. The theory is that as AI reshapes search and content creation, traditional SEO tools are finding it harder to maintain their dominance. This acquisition could be Adobe's strategic, if unconventional, response to that industry pressure. This trend of unexpected competition is visible elsewhere, with platforms like Canva making aggressive moves into video editing, putting them in direct competition with Adobe. The outage served as a backdrop to a tech landscape that is shifting in unpredictable ways.3. Your Business is More Vulnerable Than You Think (But Outages Can Make You Stronger)The Resilience ImperativeFor businesses and professionals, the outage was not an abstract problem. The impact was immediate: one professional reported their AI-powered Fathom note-taker for Zoom failed to load, even while the Zoom call itself was active—a perfect example of a hidden dependency crippling a critical workflow. The sudden inability to access essential tools forces a critical business question to the surface:"...if ChatGPT is down and that's what I use and now I can't use it for the first four hours of my day... How can I use 50% of my time to maximize 100% of my opportunity?"The core advice is to reframe these events not as mere problems to be weathered but as invaluable opportunities for strategic review. Business owners should use these moments to ask what platforms they truly rely on, research the stability of those systems, and begin building more resilient workflows.This is the "bow and arrow" principle applied to business strategy. An outage forces you to pull back, assess your tools, and re-aim. This forced pause, while painful, is precisely what allows you to launch forward with a more resilient, deliberate, and ultimately stronger operational foundation, turning a negative event into a catalyst for positive change.Conclusion: A New Lens for a Digital WorldThis single outage taught us more than just who owns the internet's plumbing. It revealed the hidden fragility of our digital infrastructure, highlighted the unpredictable strategies of tech giants under pressure, and underscored the personal and professional imperative for building resilience. It showed that the platforms we use every day are interconnected in ways we rarely see until something breaks.The next time your favorite app goes down, will you just see an inconvenience, or will you see a chance to re-evaluate the digital foundation your work and life are built on?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Join me and my husband Justin Peters as we dish on self-image, the reflections that almost broke us at the start, and the upgrades we made to actually become a match for marriage.It's tempting to run away from your problems when things get hard, especially in a relationship.

Why Does My Business Website Have No or Low Internet Traffic? (SEO Masterclass with Favour Obasi-Ike) | Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.This Clubhouse LIVE! Audio Marketing Club discussion centers on common reasons why websites experience low or no traffic, primarily attributing it to lack of connection with search engines like Google Search Console. Favour emphasizes that a website is like a "house," requiring proper ownership and consistent engagement to appear in search results and gain visibility.Sign up for our 4-Day LIVE! Marketing Workshop | Starting August 26-29, 2025 | Click this link here to sign up!The conversation further explores the importance of transactional value on websites and the strategic use of platforms like Reddit, Wikipedia, YouTube, and Google for driving traffic, highlighting that owning your digital real estate is crucial for long-term business success with traditional and artificial intelligence search engines. Favour advises businesses to focus on strategy, consistency, and answering user queries through their website content to improve their online presence and conversion rates.FAQS: Website Traffic | The Engine and The FuelWhy does my website have low or no traffic?The primary reason a website experiences low or no traffic is a lack of connection to search engines. Your website needs to be recognized and indexed by major search engines like Google (via Google Search Console), Bing (via Bing Webmasters Tools), Yandex, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, and even AI search engines like ChatGPT and answer search engines like Alexa. Without this connection, your website is essentially invisible to people searching for information, products, or services that you offer. Think of your website as a car; without a battery (the connection to search engines), it won't run, no matter how good it looks.How do search engines act as the "battery" for your website?Search engines are the "battery" because they provide the power and connectivity needed for your website to be found. Just as a car needs an active battery to drive or a remote needs batteries to turn on a TV, a website needs to be connected to search engines to gain visibility and traffic. These platforms are the conduits through which potential visitors discover your content. If your website isn't indexed and recognized by these engines, it's like having a car without an engine – it exists, but it cannot function as intended to bring you where you need to go.What is Google Search Console and why is its connection to my website crucial?Google Search Console is Google's internet service provider for your website. It's the critical link that allows Google to understand and index your site's content. Connecting your website to Google Search Console is the first step in ensuring your site can be found by users through Google searches. Without this connection, Google cannot effectively "see" or "read" your website, making it difficult for your content to appear in search results. It's also vital for verifying ownership of your website, similar to holding the title deed to a car – you can't truly operate or sell something you don't legally own.What does "domain authority" mean and how does it impact website traffic?Domain authority is a measure of a website's credibility and trustworthiness in the eyes of search engines. A higher domain authority generally leads to better search engine rankings and more traffic. When you first launch a website, its domain authority is effectively zero. Consistently creating and updating high-quality content, building valuable backlinks, and ensuring your website is connected to search engines can gradually increase your domain authority. This is a long-term strategy; typically, a website gains about seven domain authority points per year with consistent effort. The higher your domain authority, the more Google trusts your site and the more likely it is to rank higher in search results.Why is owning your website and its properties (like Google Search Console) so important for long-term success?Owning your website and its associated properties, especially Google Search Console, is paramount because it grants you control and access to your digital real estate and traffic data. Without clear ownership (e.g., if a developer verifies Google Search Console under their account instead of yours), you risk losing control over your site's visibility, data, and future direction. This ownership ensures that the traffic and insights generated from your online efforts truly benefit your business, rather than contributing to platforms or entities you don't control. It's about building and owning assets, not just renting space.How does content strategy, particularly answering specific questions, contribute to website traffic?Creating targeted content, especially articles that directly answer frequently asked questions, is a highly effective way to gain traffic. When people search for specific information, they are looking for concise and direct answers. By structuring your content to provide these precise answers, you increase the likelihood of your website appearing in search results for relevant queries. This approach focuses on fulfilling user needs and providing immediate value, which search engines recognize and reward with better visibility. The more questions you answer well, the more traffic you'll attract.What is "transactional value" in website content and why is it crucial for increasing traffic?Transactional value in website content refers to anything that facilitates an exchange or provides a clear benefit, leading to an action, decision, or deeper engagement from the user. This isn't limited to direct sales; it also includes providing useful information that helps users make informed decisions, offering resources, or solving problems. Websites that consistently offer transactional value (whether it's through product reviews, how-to guides, educational content, or direct sales) are more likely to attract and retain traffic because users perceive them as useful and goal-oriented. Platforms like Reddit, Wikipedia, YouTube, and Amazon are highly cited by AI search engines because they all offer diverse forms of transactional value.What are common mistakes businesses make that hinder website traffic, and what should they focus on instead?Common mistakes include failing to connect to search engines, not owning their website's key properties (like Google Search Console), neglecting content creation and updates, and using landing pages when a full website is needed. Many businesses also fall into the trap of solely relying on social media platforms they don't own, instead of driving traffic back to their own website. To succeed, businesses should focus on strategic planning, consistent content creation, actively managing their website's SEO (Search Everywhere Optimization), understanding and utilizing their analytics, and ensuring their website offers clear transactional value. It's about building a digital asset that you control, rather than just participating in rented digital spaces.Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> SEO Optimization Blogs>> Book Complimentary SEO Discovery Call>> Subscribe to We Don't PLAY PodcastBrands We Love and SupportLoving Me Beauty | Buy Vegan-based Luxury ProductsUnlock your future in real estate—get certified in Ghana today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
