If you're frustrated because your content isn't performing despite having great expertise and valuable insights to share, you can make a few simple swaps to address the issue. The problem isn't your knowledge, it's that you're using outdated content approaches and treating Instagram like it's your email list. Today I'm giving you specific content swaps that will take your posts from basic to scroll-stopping, because here's the truth: you can't just repurpose content across platforms and expect it to work. Every platform has a different purpose and people go there expecting different things. When you try to make your Instagram posts do the job of your emails or podcast episodes, everything suffers. I'm breaking down the exact swaps I use with my media mapping framework to transform generic topics into platform-native content that actually converts. From connection-focused posts that go beyond "here's my morning routine" to credibility content that does more than just share client screenshots, these swaps will help you create content that feels fresh, specific, and engaging. The reality is that many of you think you're bad at content creation, but you're actually just being lazy with your content strategy. You're stuck in a repurposing cycle that's making you work harder, not smarter, because content that doesn't perform means you have to create two to three times more of it to get the same results. In today's episode, we're talking about: Why diary-style posts aren't connecting  How to make trend-based content actually valuable  The credibility content upgrade  Why your framework posts aren't landing  The platform-specific approach Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!

Ever heard the phrase “know your numbers” and thought, okay…but what does that actually mean? In this episode, Danielle sits down with client and entrepreneur Serena Waller, founder of The Dande Agency, to talk about how truly understanding her numbers transformed the way she runs her business. Serena gets real about the ups, downs, and unexpected turns of entrepreneurship—like losing a corporate job at seven months pregnant, launching her own agency, and growing it over the past ten years into a thriving business that now supports a full team.  Key Takeaways:  Clarity Creates Confidence: Serena shares how shifting from confusion to clarity with her finances gave her the ability to make calm, strategic decisions in her business. The Right Support Team Matters: Finding a bookkeeping and accounting team who actually listened and provided her with timely numbers while communicating what they mean changed the game for her and her business.  Numbers and Intuition Go Hand in Hand: Serena explains how she balances gut instincts with financial data to steer her business forward. Growth Requires a Mindset Shift: Hiring a team and stepping into the visionary role required Serena to let go of old ways of working and embrace new levels of leadership. Financial Knowledge Equals Freedom: Knowing her numbers didn't just improve her bottom line, it gave Serena peace of mind and the confidence to make decisions and take calculated risks. Topics Discussed: (00:00) Intro: How Knowing Your Numbers Creates Calm and Clarity (00:34) Serena's Journey Into Entrepreneurship & Her Work Now (04:35) Struggles with Early Financial Management & Finding the Right Money Team (08:22) How Kickstart Helped Serena Understand and Know Her Numbers (10:49) Balancing Gut Feelings with Data (13:23) Building Confidence as a CEO (14:23) Rate and Review Break (14:36) Hiring Decisions & Leadership Growth and Mindset (18:01) Using Your Numbers to Read Trends & Forecast for the Future (22:17) Deciding Whether or Not to DIY Bookkeeping (25:13) What's Next for Serena and The Dande Agency (28:26) Serena's Major Piece of Business Advice for Entrepreneurs (30:10) Outro: Like, share, and subscribe!   Connect with Serena: The Dande Agency Website | https://www.dandeagency.com/  Follow The Dande Agency on Instagram | @dandeagency   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://kickstartaccountinginc.com/book-a-call/   Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

Together, they explore how patient-led research is revolutionizing drug development and catalyzing billion-dollar outcomes. Susan shares the remarkable story of CMTRF's $128,000 seed investment in DTX Pharma that led to a $1 billion Novartis acquisition — a masterclass in strategic risk-taking and venture philanthropy. Laura explains how CMTRF's unique “go-out-of-business” mission drives urgency, focus, and impact, while also inspiring other nonprofits to adopt similar models. The conversation dives deep into storytelling's role in galvanizing donors, the importance of milestones and reinvestment, and how rare disease foundations can unlock breakthroughs for broader neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's.

Today I'm joined by my friend and client Dielle Charon, founder of For the 23%, for a deep dive into what's actually working in content right now versus what we used to be able to get away with. We're both seeing the same shift: the passive content strategies that worked a year ago simply aren't cutting it anymore, and the creators who are thriving are the ones treating content creation like the full-time job it actually is. Dielle shares her journey from being able to coast on repurposed content to having to completely revamp her approach, including her storytelling framework where you spend 50% of your content just painting the problem before sharing any solution. We're also diving into why studying content creators (not just business coaches) has been game-changing for understanding how people actually consume content on these platforms. From our content creation routines to what's working (and what's definitely not working) in 2025, this conversation covers the mindset shifts, practical strategies, and honest truths about what it takes to create content that actually converts. We're also addressing the content heartbreak that comes with platforms changing and why fighting the algorithm is the least productive thing you can do with your time.

You have all the strategies, all the frameworks, and all the tools, but you're still not implementing them. At this point, you know the problem isn't your lack of knowledge. Today I'm switching things up from my usual strategy heavy episodes to tackle the real issue that's keeping you stuck: your mindset around marketing and content creation. After being surrounded by entrepreneurs outside my direct industry, I've realized we're complaining about posting 3 times a week while others are treating content creation like the full-time job it actually is. The truth is, we're headed toward a future where you can't afford to be on just 1 platform anymore, and if you can't manage 2 posts now, you're going to struggle when the standard becomes 6 posts across multiple platforms just to crack six figures. This isn't about adding more to your to-do list, it's about fundamentally shifting how you think about content and marketing in your business. I'm walking you through the exact mindset shifts that have allowed me to expand my marketing platforms and treat content creation like what it actually is: the primary way I make money. From stopping the comparison trap with other niches to understanding why discomfort in content creation is actually data, these shifts will change how you approach your entire marketing strategy. In today's episode, we're talking about: How to reframe every post as a salesperson knocking on 1,000 doors The difference between teaching and selling through content  Why comparing your content to other niches is sabotaging your strategy How comfort in content creation is actually preventing your growth  The mindset shift from inspiration-based posting to systematic content creation  Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!

In this episode, I'm sharing why I stepped back, what I worked on behind the scenes, and the focus strategy that's helping me (and my clients) grow faster without burning out. You'll hear a real coaching conversation I had with one of my clients, where I walked her through cutting out the noise, narrowing in on the one thing that would actually move her business forward, and saying “no” to even the good opportunities that don't align with her goals. If you've been juggling endless ideas, feeling pulled in a million directions, or wondering how to hit your income goals without working 24/7, I think you'll find this episode incredibly freeing.   START HERE | Learn more about the different ways Tanya can help you in your business.
