The conversation also touches on the effective use of various platforms like Clubhouse, Google Analytics, and Google Search Console for data intelligence and content distribution, ultimately aiming to protect, earn, and scale a business's online presence.Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need SEO Services?

Visit our Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services.FAQs1. What is the fundamental principle of effective SEO for beginners?The best SEO strategy for beginners starts with understanding and targeting your audience by asking questions. SEO is fundamentally about providing answers to the questions people are asking. This approach not only helps you create relevant content but also aligns your efforts with how search engines (like Google, ChatGPT, Pinterest, YouTube, and Amazon) operate. By consistently answering these questions, you build authority and credibility, which are crucial for visibility and growth. Tools like Answerthepublic.com, Answerocrates.com, SparkToro.com, and Ubersuggest.com can help you identify these questions and understand audience intent.2. Why is audience understanding crucial for SEO and content creation?Understanding your audience is paramount because it allows you to create content that directly addresses their needs and queries. When you create content with the user's questions in mind, you're not just optimizing for algorithms; you're building a connection with your potential audience. This "three-way connection" between you, your audience, and the algorithm ensures that your content resonates with those actively searching for solutions. It helps bypass the algorithm by matching user intent with your offerings, leading to higher engagement and a stronger brand.3. What are the essential technical SEO elements for a beginner's website?For a beginner, ensuring strong technical SEO involves several fundamental steps:HTTPS Security Connection (SSL): Always secure your website with an HTTPS connection. This creates a privacy area for users, builds trust (indicated by a padlock in the browser), and is a crucial ranking factor for search engines. Websites without this are often flagged as "not secure," leading to immediate user abandonment.Sitemap (XML File): A sitemap is like a brain or a map for your website, allowing algorithms to read and understand its structure and content. While humans read HTML (hypertext markup language), algorithms read XML (expandable markup language). Platforms like WordPress (with plugins like Yoast, RankMath), Squarespace, Shopify, and Wix automatically generate sitemaps, but they must be connected to tools like Google Search Console and Google Analytics to be fully activated and effective.No Broken or Duplicated Links: Regularly check for and fix broken links and avoid duplicating content, as these issues can confuse search engines and negatively impact your ranking.4. How important are blogs and consistent content creation for SEO?Blogs (or articles, sources) are essential because they tell the world you have something valuable to say. Websites like Wikipedia, Reddit, Shopify, and Canva all leverage blogs to provide information. A consistent blogging strategy feeds your website with good, indexable information that can be submitted to various search engines (Google, Yahoo, Microsoft) and AI platforms (ChatGPT). This consistency helps you earn credibility, which in turn leads to broader distribution across different platforms, strengthening your online presence. For new businesses, publishing content 1-2 times a week can show significant results within 3-6 months.Glossary of Episode Key Terms: SEO for BeginnersAAlgorithm: A set of rules or instructions that a search engine uses to rank websites and determine the relevance of content to a user's query.AnswerThePublic.com / Answerocrates.com/ SparkToro.com / Ubersuggest.com: Website tools used for keyword research and understanding audience questions and interests.Article: A piece of written content on a website, essential for SEO and establishing expertise.Audience Targeting/Marketing: Focusing marketing efforts on a specific group of consumers who are most likely to be interested in a product or service.Access Links: See Backlinks.BBacklinks/Referral Links/Access Links/Image Links: Different types of links pointing back to a website, which are crucial for SEO authority.Binary Code: A computer language that uses only two symbols, typically 0 and 1, to represent information.Blog: A section of a website featuring regularly updated written content.Bootstrapping: Starting a business with little or no outside capital, relying on personal finances or operating revenues.Bottom of Funnel: The stage in the customer journey where users are ready to convert; content here targets these users.Broken Links: Hyperlinks that point to non-existent or moved pages, negatively affecting user experience and SEO.CChatGPT/Perplexity/Pinterest/YouTube/Amazon: Examples of platforms where users search for information, and SEO strategies can be applied to increase visibility.Clubhouse Plus: A paid feature on the Clubhouse app, offering tools to enhance user experience and business growth.Content Distribution: The process of publishing and promoting content across various platforms and channels.Content Reproduction/Publish/Distribute: The process of creating, making available, and spreading content across various channels.Conversion Opportunities/Lifts/Engagement: Metrics indicating how often users take a desired action (e.g., signing up, purchasing), how much those actions increase, and how users interact with content.Credibility: The quality of being trusted and believed in, built through consistent and valuable content.DData Intelligence/Market Intelligence: Gathering and analyzing information to understand market trends, customer behavior, and competitive landscapes.Duplicated Links: Multiple links pointing to the same content, which can confuse search engines and dilute link equity.FFAQs (Frequently Asked Questions): A section of a website that provides answers to common customer questions, useful for both users and algorithms.GGoogle Analytics: A free web analytics service that tracks and reports website traffic, providing insights into user behavior.Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business): A free tool from Google that helps businesses manage their online presence across Google, including Search and Maps.Google Developers: A platform for developers to learn about and use Google technologies.Google Search Central (formerly Google Webmasters): A resource provided by Google for website owners to improve their site's visibility in Google Search.Google Search Console: A free web service by Google that helps website owners monitor their site's performance in Google Search results and troubleshoot issues.HHigh Volume Searches: Refers to keywords that are searched for a large number of times by users.HTML (HyperText Markup Language): The standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser, forming the readable text and links on a webpage.HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure): A secure version of HTTP, the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website.

A lot of people think that sex is just easy for men. But it’s not. A heck of a lot of guys are walking around with sexual anxiety and are worried about their body and/or performance. This can eat away at men's confidence, leading them to avoid sex, or to have sex that's less than pleasurable. In today’s show, we’re going to talk about how to build confidence in the bedroom and bust some common myths about male sexuality. I'm joined once again by Dr. Joshua Gonzalez, a board-certified urologist who is fellowship-trained in Sexual Medicine. He is a Sexual Health Advisor to Astroglide Lubricants, and one of the co-founders of the sexual wellness brand Popstar, which creates science-backed products to support male sexual health and pleasure. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What does it really men to be “sexually confident?” How do popular myths about male sexuality inhibit men’s confidence in the bedroom? Is more testosterone really the key to more confidence? What can men do if they want to increase their sexual stamina? When should you see a professional about sexual performance concerns? You can visit Joshua’s website to learn more about his work. Got a sex question? Send me a podcast voicemail to have it answered on a future episode at speakpipe.com/sexandpsychology. *** Thank you to our sponsors!  Passionate about building a career in sexuality?

Whether you're a seasoned guru or a budding enthusiast, we've got the inside scoop for you. Join us as we learn how to flourish in this magical world of retreats. Hey guys! Welcome to or welcome back to the Retreat Leaders podcast at Shannon. And today I've got an amazing guest on the show that I am so excited to dig into our topic today because I feel like if it wasn't already so very important, it's becoming more and more important every day in the business world that we live in. So welcome, Kara to the show. Kara 00:00:46  Thank you for having me, Shannon. Excited to be here. Shannon 00:00:49  I'm so excited you're here. So Kara Hollinger is on the show. And do you just want to take a moment to tell us, like, who you are? What brought you here? Like, talk to us about who you are. Kara 00:00:59  Definitely. My background is in brand development and design as well as strategy, and I started Made outside. I'm the founder and we specialize in building brands with authenticity, transparency and trust so that the consumer will lean into that purpose and story and then choose you over another competitor. So in most cases, that level of authenticity and storytelling is what drives a consumer into the purchasing ability. And so through design and award winning design, I was able to actually take my intuition and my understanding of marketability and then design and merge that with design, which has been a really great outcome for our clients. And I'm a big supporter of wellness and retreats and leadership. And I think that combining brand purpose into, you know, whether it's a retreat or a leader or even a brand is the key to success in today's market, where it's very convoluted, it's hard to tell who's authentic or who isn't. And that's what we do for all of our clients. And we've had really great success. Shannon 00:02:06  I love this. Okay, so I love this for so many reasons, but especially because just like you mentioned, like if you are not presenting yourself in an authentic but also appealing way specifically to your demographic, then you are missing the boat. Shannon 00:02:24  And I know that a lot of things that you work on is brand strategy and social media presence, as well as website presence. And I think, I think it gets really underrated in the retreat world. I think people just put together a very, in my very humble opinion, a crappy landing page that has maybe a couple of pictures that do not look as good as they should look. and it's just, I mean, I see more and more of them and I'm like, oh my goodness. Like, there's an investment that has to be made in this business if you are wanting to it to be a business. And everybody knows that I'm big on like I, I don't do retreats for a hobby. I don't teach people how to do retreats for hobby. I teach you to do it as a business. And part of business in this world is investing in your social media and your website presence and brand strategy. Because I feel like it's got to tell a story. All of this has to tell a story. Kara 00:03:16  Definitely. And the world of templated websites and put something up with, you know, Squarespace or Wix. Those types of solutions do exist, and they can be successful, but only if they're brought into authenticity and something that's unique for you. Because if we all land on something that feels the same or doesn't feel authentic or is just another batch of stock photos, it's going to be really hard to get somebody to invest their time and money to stop what they're doing, fly and try. They're seeking something to go to a retreat they're seeking. And if you can't collectively tell them what they're going to get in a way that feels safe and authentic, then they're going to start to look elsewhere, or they're going to start to overthink the decision and then possibly not juju at all. So getting to the heart of what makes you different and why you started the retreat, or why this solution is going to be good for the person coming. That is the key to all of it. And you can do that. Kara 00:04:10  So simply with just words and visuals, it doesn't have to be a whole big investment. It's really about how you tell that story and then making sure it doesn't look like everyone else that you're seeing out there. Shannon 00:04:22  I couldn't agree more. So I the way I do my retreat bookings is probably a little different than some people. As far as they don't have to talk to me, they don't have to set an appointment with me. They don't have to be pre-screened by me. I just don't run those types of retreats. There are a there's a time and place for that. But I share that with you because people who don't know me at all are literally. I mean, I'll get on my my registration forms. Where did you find me? Google. So they're finding me and they're booking because of my landing page, because of my messaging, because of my image, because of the story, because of how I'm marketing them. And so that's the bulk of my registrations, or pretty close to 6,570%. Shannon 00:05:00  The other 25 to 30% is coming from referral or repeat guest. Or they've been listening to me and following me a long time, whatever. But the bulk of my my retreats are registrations are coming because of how my messaging is reaching them and the way that it's presented. And so when I tell you this is so important, I mean, this is so important. And even if you are someone, a host who, you know, you want to interview them first, they have to apply, they have to whatever. It's still the same thing. They're not even going to fill up that form to set an appointment with you if your messaging doesn't resonate, if it looks like, you know, a junior high schooler, put the whole thing together. You know what I mean? And I see this a lot in the retreat space where it's like, I don't know why my retreats not filling. I'm like, well, we're just going to start here. There's probably a whole lot of other stuff going on. Shannon 00:05:50  But also we're going to start right here. And I love that you talked about trust and authenticity Because I think you and I both know we live in the world now, where if we hear about a company or an organization or anybody we're going to give our money to, where's the first place we look? Nowadays it's social media. You know what I mean? Yes, it's their website, but we usually are on their website, and then we go find them on social media to really validate who they are. What are your thoughts on that. Kara 00:06:17  100% and the consistency between both stops, as well as how you email or solicit, has to be consistent and equally as professional. So somebody reached out to me recently and I thought it was very engaging. But then I went and found them on social and it was filled with stuff that was not authentic. It was really sloppy and done by I, and I immediately bounced. And so that originality is as important and the sales not going to come through just your site. Kara 00:06:45  It is through learning and engaging as well as social hearing, trust building and the social aspect has to reassure them that where they're coming, It's not just safe. Like, am I going to get hurt? But it's safe. Like I'm making the right investment. And is this what I'm looking for? Because when people are out there seeking these types of scenarios, they're actually looking to either feel better, find vision, reset, meet people. a lot of it's around feeling better, but it could be a series of just letting go. It could be. But if you don't show up and understand what you signed up for, or if what you see online is actually authentic to the experience you're going to get when you show up, it's that validation on social that actually confirms a sale. So 100%, and just so everybody knows, a brand is not a logo. A brand is how you show up as a company or as a person in every aspect the photography, your voice, your social, how you, send them the materials to get ready for the retreat, to how you answer the phone. Kara 00:07:53  It's all important. And that brand as a whole needs to look and feel the same across all platforms. And if it doesn't, it doesn't have to be custom. With a big, huge website. It could be a simple website, but the visuals and the storytelling needs to be simple and consistent across all touchpoints. Shannon 00:08:11  Oh, okay, now you're really talking my language because it's not just a one stop. It's not just the website, although that typically is. The starting point is sometimes it might be the social. That's the starting point, but they're quickly going to make their way to the website. They're going to make their way to both. Right. Period. It's 100%. So yeah. So there's multiple touch points. And then also the communication right away. Like if they make contact with you, what does that communication look like when they register. The whole process is part of your brand. And I'm so glad that you are clarifying that it's not a logo. I can't tell you how many times people get caught up in my in what my logo is. Shannon 00:08:40  That's everything. Listen, it's a very small. Believe it or not, part of the picture, right? Kara 00:08:45  It's like one pillar of your body, you know, it's like it's a small piece of the thing. And it's important that it resonates too. But people aren't going to hire you because of your logo. They're going to hire you because of how you feel. And if you have that element of attraction or law of attraction that bring you in, that is 100% aligned on every touchpoint. Because if it's really cool here, then they go somewhere else and they're getting a different experience. You automatically lost trust and that's why the consistency is key. Shannon 00:09:14  Yeah I so agree. So I love this. So we're talking about that. Your website has a look and feel and verbiage and energy to it. So should your social media match. So should your emails show. So should all. Everything should match that look and feel and energy that you are trying to create. And I think sometimes we don't know what that even is or how it should look. Shannon 00:09:37  Unless we work with someone like you or an organization that can help us see that. Because sometimes we just get caught up in the logo or, you know, whatever it is. And we're thinking, I'm going to just do this on Canva. I'm going to create a logo, pick a couple colors, and then I'm done. Kara 00:09:53  Exactly. And I am a big believer in Canva and we use it. We personally don't use it. We set our clients up with Canva templates. Once we're done doing our job so that that consistency piece is key. And you have to think of it as, how you meet anybody. Like you're going to go and say, hi, my name is Karen. Wait outside. But that's not enough. Like, you need to speak of who you are and why you're different in order to get attention. And it's the same for your brand. So like, just because I people like my dress and I dress very simple today, but say that was a compliment. They're not going to hire me because of my dress, they're going to hire me because of the whole picture. Kara 00:10:32  And that's why that logo is it's important that it doesn't, you know, it's legible, it's attractive. It doesn't feel dated, it doesn't feel too trendy. Like those are things that we need to look for for the logo. But that is like third of importance as to the whole picture. And that consistency and transparency is really reigning above the way the logo looks and what your color palette is. And I get asked a lot of times. Like we just see the logo on an updated color palette and I'm like, okay, but then you're going to need these things. And so we have to coach them on. When they put that new logo somewhere, it's not going to spike sales. It's not going to spike the call. What's going to spike that? Is that again I hear you I feel you I see you. That is the piece that is the component that you want to reach your consumers. And if you can figure out how to word that and how to make it feel like that through your brand, your sales will increase and you will get stickier. Kara 00:11:27  And they not only will love it, but then they're going to come and they're going to get the experience. They expected it, and they're going to go home and tell the people, and then they're also going to share it on social. So that viral ness is important in that first step. Shannon 00:11:39  Hey, retreat leaders, pause that retreat planning for just a second because I've got something you do not want to miss. I'm headed to London this October to host a live event that's all about teaching you how to host a retreat that's not just transformational, but actually profitable. Imagine sipping tea or champagne with other like minded leaders while mapping out your next sold out retreat. It's happening at the gorgeous Waldorf Hilton in London. I'm spilling all the secrets from pricing to planning, marketing to mindset, and you'll walk away with a strategy you can actually use. No fluff, no BS, just results. So head to Retreat mastermind training and come join me across the pond. Yes. Okay, so I love this because a lot of retreat leaders don't know how to word it. Shannon 00:12:25  They don't. They don't know how to position it. They're like, well, here's here's they hopefully know who they can serve, right? Who their ideal guest is. Hopefully they know that and they know the problem that they can solve or solve for that person, but then they don't know where to go from there. And is that something that you and your group does that they can help? Kara 00:12:42  Conditioning is is everything, to be honest. and we really want that to be stable and established and and Attractive before the visuals ever get involved. because that like, you need to think of not what you like, not your personal style and your personal preference. You need to think of what the person you're wanting to show up needs and what they need to see and feel. And again, you got to know the emotion. Every retreats different. Some are more fitness, some are more wellness, some are more mental health, some are more silent. You know, relaxation. But what are what is their pain point? And then the moment you can position yourself to build trust and authenticity around their pain point, that's the position is like what you do, how you do it and why you're different. Kara 00:13:29  And then if you can say that in a way that's compelling and interesting and attractive, it's, it's a it's a home run, because then all of the visuals back that up. And so then that's why the logo is, is like a piece of it. It's all the messaging and all the little graphics and all the things that really instill and insinuate what it is that makes you different is how that brand look and feel. And consistency starts to build. Because if you just start creating pretty things, you're going to, again, blend in, because there's a lot of pretty things out there. But what you need to do is, is match that message with how it's going to feel. And then the visuals come into play. And I mean, I'm an award winning designer. So for years I thought design was everything. And then as I started to own my own businesses and help thousands of businesses, I realized the positioning and the strategy behind how you're going out and getting the business is the success component. Kara 00:14:21  And then the visuals, I mean, it's it's really amazing once you have that positioning, right, how far the visuals take off and how easy it is, it's like there's no overthinking. You're just doing because you have a North Star that you're following, and then that North Star is solving the pain point and the problem of who you're trying to attract in. Shannon 00:14:41  Yes, I really do believe I mean, I with all, every fiber of my being, I believe one of the biggest struggles for retreat leaders is this it's their marketing message. It's there. It's their brand. It's the look and feel of what they're trying to communicate. And. And I feel like they struggle the most with this. And this is where they get the most stuck. And they just put something together and then wonder why it's not working. And so please hear me when I say this for my listeners. Like, this is where you are stuck. I, I promise this is probably where you're stuck and you're thinking you're not getting sales because of your price, or you're thinking you're not getting sales because of the location or whatever. Shannon 00:15:21  And it's probably 99.9% of the time. It's the branding, and the messaging is falling flat. It's not reaching who it's supposed to reach. It's not consistent. It's not vibrant. It's not the energy you're trying to create. You're not attracting the people you want to attract because it's just not hitting the mark. So I'm so glad you're talking about it. Kara 00:15:40  Yeah, 100%. And again, you can go to Squarespace and build a website over a weekend. And and it could be very successful if you have the positioning and an authentic voice and really great visuals. It's not the methodology of how you do it. There's a lot of ways such as Canva, such as AI, to get there, but you have to start with that base of of being different. Like if you look like everyone else, there's nothing to sink your teeth into that makes you stand out. And especially when you start to advertise. Because if you start putting money into that and then you start soliciting people to land, that ad could be the best looking ad ever. Kara 00:16:20  And it could say, but if they land on your website and then it doesn't feel like that, or you're not answering those questions, they're going to bounce and your bounce rate will be so high because they're going to land on something that doesn't feel safe, authentic, or, you know, matching their pain points. And so that that's why the the visuals kind of come in second or sometimes there. Shannon 00:16:40  I really do think that you're exactly right. And do you have to hire a professional? Maybe not. But here's where I think the struggle is, is they they don't have the skill set if I'm being honest. They just don't like I have to. I have to partner with someone I don't. Just my skill set is what I deliver at the retreat and what I teach people to do. But when it comes to exact marketing branding strategy, I have to bring in someone else for my own stuff. I can see other people's better than my own stuff, right? It's that's what happens sometimes. and so working with a, an organization or a partner or somebody who knows how to do that, I think is really, really valuable, especially if, as a retreat leader, you're sitting here going, why am I not getting the sales? What is happening? And if you're truly consistently showing up but you're not getting the the traction you think it is almost most likely to do with your branding and your messaging. Shannon 00:17:33  It's just falling flat. Kara 00:17:35  100% I agree. And we help people. And one of the things that makes us uniquely different is we will work with what's working and help you with the roadblocks that aren't or the gaps. So it's not like you have to come to us and we have to do it all or we won't work with you. We actually look at what's working and what brand equity you have, and in some cases, there's a lot that's working and we can kind of just come in and we don't Band-Aid. We actually solve it and we look at the problems and then we look out also not where are you now? Where are you going? So everything we're building and creating is actually giving you legs to get to where your ultimate vision is so that you don't have to redo this like the goal of branding. And most of our clients are in ten plus years. Not only are they still coming back to help them grow, but they're not coming back to rebrand. And that is because the level of who they are and what they do is so clear and it's timeless. Kara 00:18:30  It doesn't feel trendy or attached to something that's popular today. It actually feels, you know, something that could have been five years ago, 20 years from now. It just feels safe and seen. And that is another key to this whole thing, is to stay far away from very heavy trends, because it will make you go through this process again and again. Shannon 00:18:52  Yes, yes. Gosh, I so agree with that. Well, Miss Kara, if somebody wanted to work with you, do you have something special for them? I think you mentioned. Kara 00:19:01  I did earlier. You're offering 20% to anybody that finds us through this podcast. We have lots of packages everywhere, from positioning to visuals to positioning, visuals and a website. We can do them in an intensive process as quick as a week or two, or we can spread it out and do a larger scale project that can take a couple of months. But we understand that these types of projects are kind of hot and they're ready to go. So we have figured out ways for us to build packages specific to retreats and wellness groups. Kara 00:19:33  That can happen as fast as you guys need us to. And we do that hands on one on one. And we have a really specific staff that helps and handles these types of clients. And I am the creative director, founder leader of made and you will work with me individually, and then my staff helps execute all the way to the end. And I am with the project from the beginning to the end. So that's another thing that differentiates us. And we are offering 20% off of any package. If you find us through this podcast. Shannon 00:20:03  Awesome! Well, her website is made outside, but it will also be in the show notes, so I highly, highly recommend that you take her up on this offer because more than likely, if you are not hitting where you are wanting to hit, it has something to do with your branding, marketing strategy and your messaging and where it's falling flat. So Kara, thank you so much for being a guest on the show. Kara 00:20:27  Absolutely, Shannon, thank you for having me. Kara 00:20:29  And I look forward to helping all of your guests. Shannon 00:20:33  Thanks for listening to the Retreat Leaders podcast. Learn more at the retreat. See you next time.

Keith Kirkpatrick says Adobe's (ADBE) earnings will be all about A.I. after hours on Thursday. More specifically, he believes Adobe needs to show how A.I. can translate to profits through its products and explain how it can be trustworthy with the evolving tech. Keith adds that the software giant faces emerging competition, including Canva, which is expected to IPO in late 2025 or early 2026. Tom White offers a pair of example options trades for Adobe.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

What if the secret to success isn't having all the answers, but embracing the unknown? In this episode of The Overlap Podcast, hosts Sid Sexton and Keith Glines dive deep into what it really means to learn as you go in business, fitness, and life. From messy starts and stubborn pivots to the surprising lessons of parenting and jiu-jitsu, they reveal why staying open-minded and humble might be the most valuable skill an entrepreneur can develop. You'll hear candid stories about running companies without perfect plans, pivoting when things don't work, and keeping momentum even when failure feels relentless. This is a raw, practical look at how growth often comes from trial, error, and the courage to keep going. What You Will Learn Why entrepreneurs must get comfortable with ambiguity and limited information. The fine line between stubbornness and knowing when to pivot. How parenting and jiu-jitsu mirror the challenges of business ownership. Practical strategies for controlling negative self-talk. Why humility and openness to younger voices can fuel long-term success. Key Topics Discussed The role of mental health in an entrepreneur's ability to pivot. Why making money quickly is usually a myth in business. The danger of ignoring market signals (Henry Ford's “buggy whip” lesson). How new creative tools like Canva are replacing old standards like Photoshop. What parenting teaches us about learning on the fly. How resilience in jiu-jitsu reflects resilience in entrepreneurship. Memorable Quotes “If you're going to be an entrepreneur, you have to be okay operating with limited information.” – Sid “Competition—whether in business or jiu-jitsu—is mostly mindset. If you just keep showing up, eventually you get there.” – Keith “It takes humility to know you don't know everything—and that you can learn from everyone.” – Sid Sponsor Spotlight Content Fresh – Growing The Overlap Podcast's social reach by 2,235%.

Transcript Excerpts [00:06:35] Keith: “Being an entrepreneur really is learning as you go. Most of us didn't follow a perfect plan—we just had to figure it out along the way.” [00:23:06] Sid: “When my oldest came out of the hospital, the fear hit me. Parenting teaches you to learn as you go better than anything else.” [00:34:40] Sid: “Keith just kept coming back to jiu-jitsu tournaments. That persistence—showing up even when you lose—is the same persistence you need in business.” Conclusion Learning as you go isn't a fallback—it's the way forward. Whether in business, parenting, or the gym, success comes from being open, adaptable, and willing to keep moving through uncertainty. Try applying just one “learn as you go” mindset shift this week—and share this episode with a fellow entrepreneur who needs encouragement.

Still Googling everything and spending hours on presentations? In today's episode, I'm sharing my favorite AI tools that have completely changed how I run my business and my life. I literally just created a professional webinar presentation in UNDER five minutes using AI, and it looked better than anything I could have made spending hours in Canva.I'm breaking down exactly how I use three specific tools - from creating brand photos without a photographer to having ChatGPT help me with everything from launch plans to baby food recipes. Yes, you heard that right - baby food recipes! Look, I get it if you've been avoiding AI because it feels overwhelming or too techie. I was there too. But these tools have given me back dozens of hours every month that I now spend with my five-month-old or focusing on the parts of my business I actually love.You don't need to be tech-savvy, and you definitely don't need to use every AI tool out there. Just start with one, have fun with it, and watch how much easier your life becomes!Topics covered on AI Tools:The AI tool can help you turn messy notes into professional presentations in under 5 minutes. AI-generated photos on Instagram - can people really tell the difference?How I use ChatGPT in business and my personal life as well. The custom AI tools I'm building for my mentorship clients to get them faster results. Where you should start with AI if you've been avoiding it like the plague.

Mike initiates a call to discuss the upcoming 24th anniversary of 9/11. They encourage team members to use content from the marketing team in their Canva accounts to remember the day appropriately. Mike emphasizes that it's not a day for sales messages and asks everyone to be respectful and considerate of the day's significance. They also mention that the marketing team will provide high-quality content for sharing. Mike's message is to remember the day and its impact on the country, and to refrain from using it for sales purposes.

Surveys find that nearly half of men are dissatisfied with their penis size and wish they were larger. So let’s dive into the world of penile augmentation. In this episode, we're going to talk about the various treatments that exist, which ones are supported by the science, the potential risks and side effects, and what you really need to know if you have penis size concerns. I'm joined by Dr. Joshua Gonzalez, a board-certified urologist who is fellowship-trained in Sexual Medicine. He is a Sexual Health Advisor to Astroglide Lubricants, and one of the co-founders of the sexual wellness brand Popstar, which creates science-backed products to support male sexual health and pleasure. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What is the average penis size anyway? Can stretching make your penis bigger? Do penis pumps work to increase size? Are surgeries to enhance penis size worth the risks? Are there any pills or medications that can make your penis larger? You can visit Joshua’s website to learn more about his work.

What makes an idea—or a person—truly remarkable? Guy Kawasaki has spent decades evangelizing some of the world's most influential brands—from Apple to Canva—and helping ideas spread in ways that stick. In his new book, Wiser Guy, he shares the lessons, stories, and wisdom he's gathered along the way, showing how to think remarkable, lead with purpose, and make an impact that lasts. What You'll Learn in This Episode - Why Wiser Guy isn't a memoir and what it is instead - The surprising truth behind Guy's decision to publish this book with a traditional house - How evangelism has evolved from Apple's Macintosh launch to Canva today - Why democratizing technology matters—and where AI fits into that story - The timeless wisdom Guy believes we shouldn't wait too long to share Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (00:36) Welcoming Guy Kawasaki back to On Brand (03:08) Why Wiser Guy is not a memoir (05:08) From self-publishing advocate to Wiley author (10:45) Stories and lessons that rose to the top (15:12) Evangelism past and present (20:03) Is AI truly democratizing technology (27:02) A brand that's made Guy smile recently (32:21) Where to learn more and closing gratitude About Guy Kawasaki Guy Kawasaki is the chief evangelist of Canva and the creator of Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People podcast. He is an executive fellow of the Haas School of Business (UC Berkeley), and an adjunct professor of the University of New South Wales. He was the chief evangelist of Apple and a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation. He has written Wise Guy, The Art of the Start 2.0, The Art of Social Media, Enchantment, and eleven other books. Kawasaki has a BA from Stanford University, an MBA from UCLA, and an honorary doctorate from Babson College. What Brand Has Made Guy Smile Recently?

Beyond simply selling water in a can, the brand has built a bold, countercultural identity around “killing thirst.” Guy admires how they've created something fun and meaningful while inspiring him to craft his own marketing mantra, “kill mediocrity.” Resources & Links Connect with Guy on LinkedIn.

Ever wondered if online courses are still worth it in 2025? With AI, free content everywhere and a crowded market, you might be questioning whether your audience would really pay for one.In today's episode, I chat with Sara Vezensek, who went from private chef on luxury superyachts to building her freedom-based business online. We dive into the realities of online courses, what makes them succeed (or flop), and why YOU already have a million-dollar course idea inside you.Here's what we cover:Sara's story from “golden cage” yachting life to online coaching freedomWhy online courses are still thriving in 2025 (if done right)How to figure out your course idea when you feel “not expert enough”The biggest reason most online courses fail (and how to avoid it)Pricing and mindset tips to sell with confidenceListen in to get inspired and finally take action on that course idea you've been sitting on!ABOUT SARA VEZENSEK:Sara Vezensek grew up in Slovenia, a place where the luxury yacht world wasn't even something people believed was real outside of movies. But by her early 20s, she was living it: working as a private chef on superyachts, flying private, managing million-dollar deals, and earning $10K/month. From the outside, it looked like a dream. But on the inside, she felt trapped, constantly on call, and completely disconnected from her own freedom and purpose. Now, she's an online business coach and mentor who helps ambitious women turn their lived experience into profitable, freedom-based businesses. Sara is known for helping her clients package their brilliance into high-impact offers, shift their money mindset, and finally stop trading time for money. She's bold, real, and passionate about showing women how to build a business that actually supports the life they want.CONNECT WITH SARA:Website: www.saravezcoach.comFREE offers: https://sara-vezensek.mykajabi.com/freedownloadshereInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/saravezensek/Intro 0:00Interview 1:18Wrap Up 42:08Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/R5dHVO7fRnkRead on the Blog: http://whitedeer.com.au/ep230/WORK WITH JACQUI:// DIY Design My Biz: The best course for business owners DIYing their own brand and graphics in Canva.

This Q&A episode was a little different because instead of gathering listener questions, I turned to my best mate — ChatGPT — to ask me five questions about podcasting. Honestly, I had no idea what was coming, but the questions were spot-on and got me thinking deeply about what works and what doesn't in podcasting.I shared lessons I've learned from years of trial, error, and growth, along with practical advice for podcasters at any stage. What I love about this format is that it forces me to reflect on what I actually believe, and not just what I've read or heard.Key Talking PointsPivoting Your Podcast – When downloads decline and engagement drops, it's time to rethink your format or content.The Social Media Trap – Posting endlessly won't grow your audience; instead, invest in organic marketing or podcast-specific ads.Starting from Scratch – The best advice is simple: just start. Don't wait for the perfect gear or setup.Sponsorship Without Huge Numbers – Small podcasts can still win sponsors by being niche, creative, and packaging their value.Building Listener Loyalty – Make your audience feel like they're part of a club—give them a name and bring them along for the ride.Chapters & Timestamps[00:00] – Introduction & why this episode is different[02:00] – How to know when to pivot your podcast[05:00] – The one thing podcasters waste time on[08:00] – What I'd do differently if starting today[10:00] – How small podcasts can attract sponsors[12:00] – The best way to keep listeners coming backSend us a textBook a Discovery Call with me!

Episode IntroductionPodcasters face a constant challenge: keeping their workflow organized while still producing content that resonates and grows an audience. Many waste hours writing show notes, social posts, and video descriptions, leaving less time for creativity and strategy. This episode shows you how to streamline your entire release process with AI tools like ChatGPT, while also building better SEO, engagement, and binge-worthy episode connections.Previous EpisodeCheck out the latest episode of Become a Successful Podcaster with Bruce Chamoff here: The Latest Episode on Apple PodcastsSummaryIn this episode, Bruce Chamoff walks through his proven “Podcast Release Checklist,” designed to save podcasters time while boosting downloads. He explains how ChatGPT can handle tasks like show notes, HTML formatting, YouTube descriptions, and even tags. Bruce also demonstrates why transcripts from tools like Otter.ai may be more reliable than certain AI platforms, and how to use them without paying for expensive services. Beyond technical steps, he emphasizes SEO—optimizing every single podcast episode to attract more listeners individually. He also shares tips on cross-promotion, like linking previous and related episodes to encourage binge listening. The discussion includes video distribution strategies across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook, plus why Canva is better than ChatGPT for thumbnails and artwork. By following this checklist, podcasters can stay consistent, professional, and discoverable without being overwhelmed by repetitive tasks.Sample Transcript“In your show notes, a sample transcript, a related podcast episode section—this is very important because you're going to get more downloads from every other episode that you put this in. And you get the full HTML version. If you're not a web designer, or you don't know HTML, that's fine. But you can tell ChatGPT to make you an HTML version.”Related Podcast Episodes3 Mistakes Podcasters MakeHow To Increase Podcast Downloads With SEOMonetizing Your Podcast EffectivelyBuilding a Community Around Your PodcastPromoting Your Podcast On Social MediaAbout Bruce ChamoffBruce Chamoff is a podcaster, musician, entrepreneur, and public speaker with decades of creative and business experience.

BDSM practitioners have mastered skills that many of us struggle with every day, including honest communication, clear boundaries, deep trust, and the courage to be vulnerable. In this episode, we're exploring what we can learn from kinky folks about leading happier lives, both in and out of the bedroom. I am joined once again by Alicia Walker and Arielle Kuperberg. Alicia is an associate professor of sociology at Missouri State University and the author of The Secret Life of the Cheating Wife as well as Chasing Masculinity: Men, Validation, and Infidelity. Arielle is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Together, they are co-authors of the new book Bound by BDSM: Unexpected Lessons for Building a Happier Life. Some of the specific topics we explore include: How does BDSM offer a way for people to explore their creative side? What can we learn from BDSM practitioners about vulnerability and intimacy? How can BDSM allow us to explore pleasure beyond traditional sexual scripts? What can we learn from kinky folks about having realistic expectations in the bedroom? You can click here to order Alicia and Arielle’s new book. Got a sex question?

You work hard to curate, pack, and ship your subscription box each month. But when you check your bank account, the numbers don't add up. Sound familiar? If you've been wondering why you're selling more boxes but still struggling with cash flow or not paying yourself, it's time to get serious about your pricing. So many subscription box owners start out underpricing, and it's not always intentional. You want to be affordable. You don't want to scare people away. You tell yourself you'll raise prices later. Underpricing is costing you more than you think. When you forget about packaging, shipping materials, transaction fees, your time, and even damages or reships, your “$10 profit” can quickly become $6… or nothing at all. Month after month, that tight margin leaves you stressed, resentful, and unable to grow. Take Action: Audit your current price vs. your real total cost per box. Include everything: include tape, inserts, and your time. Most box owners price from the bottom up. They add up products, tack on shipping, and call it good. But that strategy sets you up to struggle. Instead, flip it around: start with your margin goals and build your box to fit. If you charge $50 per box, that means your total cost (products, packaging, shipping, fees, fulfillment) should be no more than $20-$27.50. Once you know your limit, you can source and curate accordingly. Take Action: Reverse-engineer your price. Decide your profit margin first, then set your product budget. Even if your pricing looks solid, hidden costs can eat away at your profits. Things like: Transaction fees (PayPal, Shopify, Stripe) Shipping materials (not just postage) Software and subscriptions (Klaviyo, Canva, Shopify) Labor, including YOURS Returns, damages, and inventory overages “Small” surprises and freebies These add up fast, especially as you grow. If you don't account for them, your margin disappears. Take Action: Do a hidden cost audit this week. Write down every recurring business expense and calculate what it costs you per box. Realizing your price isn't sustainable can feel scary. But raising prices doesn't mean failure, it means leadership. Be transparent with your subscribers about the reason for the increase. Give them 30–45 days' notice. Decide if you'll grandfather in current subscribers. Consider a tiered option if needed. Yes, you may lose a few subscribers. But the ones who stay will actually be profitable, and that's how you build a business that lasts. Profitable businesses don't just change your life. They make it possible for you to keep serving your subscribers for years to come. Take Action: Choose your new price based on margin goals, set an effective date, and start your communication plan. You didn't start your subscription box to break even. You started it to make an impact, create income, and build freedom. But that only happens if your pricing supports your profit.  Download the free Box Budget Worksheet and run your numbers today. This tool makes it simple to plug in your costs, your price, and see exactly where you stand. In this episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm walking you through the real cost of underpricing, how to set profit margin goals that actually work, and what to do if you need to raise your prices.  Download the Box Budget Worksheet here: https://www.launchyourboxwithsarah.com/my-box-budget Join me in all the places:     Facebook Instagram Launch Your Box with Sarah Website  Are you ready for Launch Your Box?
