Do you spend more time working in your business or on your business? As CEOs, it's our job to work towards our big, long-term goals for our businesses. But when you're covered up in the day-to-day operations, that can feel impossible.   As the CEO of a podcast agency, Caroline Hull has spent plenty of time “in the weeds” of client work.

After months of preparation, she finally hired an operations manager, and that decision has made all the difference in her professional and personal life.    In today's episode, Caroline and I talked about what drove her to hire her operations manager, what the hiring process looked like, and how she found the perfect fit for her team.

So stay tuned and  get ready for a Season 2 filled with exciting talks with women from around the world as we expand our horizons globally.  We’re also cooking up some format changes and potential guest hosts so it’s a really exciting creative incubation period for the show. I also wanted to give a special shout out to two of my friends and mentors in the podcasting world, Terri Cole and Elizabeth DiAlto, you both inspired me to use my voice to be bigger, bolder and braver than I could have ever imagined, and my lovely editor Caroline Hull at Wild Home Podcasting for keeping me sane, answering all my questions and making it sound like I (halfway) know what I’m doing.  So please check out links to their podcasts below for more information and to send some good vibes their way.

Okay, so did you catch Episode 133 (Part One) with Caroline Hull and Brittney Lynn on Tuesday? We talked about the dos and don’ts of pitching and podcasting. Caroline and Brittney shared real stories, tips, and advice from their experience in the podcast world. If you missed it, definitely push pause and go back and listen to that episode first, because today we’re catching up right where we left off.  Today, Brittney, Caroline and I are sitting down to continue our conversation about podcasting. We’re talking about how to pitch yourself, how to prepare for a podcast interview, and how you can support the show when your episode airs!   ON TODAY’S EPISODE: Next steps after you’ve landed the interview  The importance of following technical instructions How to maximize your messaging  What to do the day of recording Why you should always share your experience Gratitude that goes a long way  Tips so that everything goes smoothly Pep talk & positivity    KEY TAKE-AWAYS:   “If I send you the technical information, I would like you to follow it. There is a reason why I am asking you to wear headphones with a microphone, in a quiet room, please.” - Caroline Hull  “The last thing I want to do is say, "We can't use your episode because you weren't prepared." That's really difficult.” - Caroline Hull  “Bring real-life examples. Storytelling is effective because people like to hear about what other people's experiences are.” - Brittney Lynn “Know the takeaway or call to action, that one thing you want to drive the audience to do.” - Katie Hunt  “Sometimes it takes a long time to see a listener turn into a customer, so know the metrics and know what you're doing.” - Katie Hunt  “Most podcasters are not making money podcasting, and we are doing this because we love it, because we want to share your story.” - Caroline Hull “Even if you just share it in your stories on Instagram, it means the world to us, because again, we put so much time and energy into these podcasts.” - Caroline Hull “You never know who is connected to who, so you just want to treat everyone with respect.” - Brittney Lynn “Just keep it cool. Build relationships, make connections, do your part to help promote it. Do your part.” - Katie Hunt  “This media is growing so much, and if you're not involved in podcasting in some way, now is the time to jump in.” - Caroline Hull “Podcasts help you connect more intimately with someone that may be new to you, because putting in your headphones and listening to a podcast episode, you feel like you get to know a person even though you've never met them.” -  Brittney Lynn “We all have our own story and path and experiences. The more that you're willing to share, the higher the probability that you're going to get onto podcasts. You are the only person that has experienced your own experiences. Nobody can take that away from you because you are the only you in the world.”  - Brittney Lynn   LINKS Caroline Website: https://www.wildhomepodcasting.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wildhomepodcasting Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildhomepodcasting/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/wildhomepodcasting/   Brittney Website: https://brittneyllynn.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brittneyllynndotcom/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/brittneyllynn/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/brittneyllynn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/brittneyllynn   SUBSCRIBE To subscribe on iOS, go to the iTunes page and subscribe to Proof to Product.

I am really excited about our topic and guests for this week because two of my team members, Caroline Hull and Brittney Lynn, are joining me for two special episodes about how to pitch yourself to podcasts. Caroline and Brittney both have experience working in the podcasting world. Caroline owns her own podcast editing company, Wild Home Podcasting, and Brittney Lynn specializes in PR management. Today’s we’re covering everything what to do and what not to do, how to prepare for an interview and what you can do to spread the word once the podcast airs. For some background on the amazing ladies who help me run Proof to Product, Caroline Hull has seen all sides of podcasting. As the co-host of the Creative Biz Rebellion podcast, she’s been on the receiving side of many podcast pitches. Caroline has also been featured on dozens of podcasts by other people, including Episode 45 of Proof to Product where she talked about the importance of taking a break in business.   Brittney Lynn also knows the ins and outs of podcasting. As my PR manager, Brittney sees all the incoming pitches from people who want to be on Proof to Product. She also regularly pitches media opportunities to her clients for Podcasts and traditional media. You can hear more about the type of work Brittney does on Episode 66 of Proof to Product.  We hope you enjoy Part 1 today and stay tuned for Part 2 on Thursday!  ON TODAY’S EPISODE: The best and worst podcast pitches   Advice to make your pitch really stand out  Why you should always relate back to the listener How to personalize your pitch How to handle follow-ups Why you should know exactly who you’re addressing Tips for avoiding acting like a robot  KEY TAKE-AWAYS:   ”You can't just go in and be like, hey, my product is awesome and like you should have me on your podcast.” - Brittney Lynn “When I can tell that they've actually listened to the podcast, that’s a really huge thing.” - Caroline Hull “Businesses are built on relationships, so take a little bit more time to customize what you're saying to people and refine the ask.” - Katie Hunt  “Include the topics of what you can talk about on that podcast and how you can bring value because that's really what's going to differentiate you from other pitches.” - Brittney Lynn “Keep it short and sweet and get to the point and go from there.”  - Brittney Lynn “Come at it with the perspective that you’re communicating with another human being. How would you want to be communicated with?” - Brittney Lynn “Just because they come on the podcast doesn't mean that everybody's going to go run and buy their product because that's not what the purpose of our podcast is.” - Caroline Hull LINKS Caroline Website: https://www.wildhomepodcasting.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wildhomepodcasting Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildhomepodcasting/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/wildhomepodcasting/   Brittney Website: https://brittneyllynn.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brittneyllynndotcom/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/brittneyllynn/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/brittneyllynn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/brittneyllynn   SPECIAL OFFER:  3 Free Months of Gusto!

Welcome to Part 2 of a three-part series exploring Proof to Product’s exciting new rebrand. On Part 1, which was Episode 101, guest host Caroline Hull and I talked about why I decided to change my business name from Tradeshow Bootcamp to Proof to Product, and all the fears I had going into the transition. So if you haven't caught that episode yet, I encourage you to go and start there!   Today, on Episode 102, Caroline and I are diving into the logistics behind the rebrand, from the business formation and legal decisions to marketing planning and building Proof to Product’s new website. Tomorrow, on Episode 103, I share our marketing plan, how we’re rolling out the new name and the best parts of our beautiful new website.   Our audience has been such an important part of this process, and I’m so excited to share all of these new changes with you. I hope you enjoy Part 2 of this three-part series and join in to celebrate with us!   ON TODAY’S EPISODE: The value of starting with a website analysis   How Katie tackled the new web build and transition Her decision to switch from Wordpress to Squarespace Choosing the right web developer for the job The importance of breaking tasks up into manageable chunks Why Katie started the rebrand process by getting advice from an attorney What goes into a trademark Little logistics that pop up along the way How to dream big without getting overwhelmed KEY TAKE-AWAYS:     “I looked through all of the blog posts and looked at the traffic of like how many people were really looking at these things. And we narrowed it down to our top performing content.” - Katie Hunt   “One of my motivations for wanting a new site was just a clean slate. I wanted to start over on a new host where things were secure and everything felt good.” - Katie Hunt   “I had done so much work. I wire-framed the whole thing, I knew exactly what I wanted on the site, and I just needed somebody that could build it.” - Katie Hunt   “It's like anything you're hiring for, you know, you want to make sure that it's a good fit, whether it's a long-term position or routine or position or even just a per project. You know, you want to make sure you're getting the right people on the bus. ” - Katie Hunt   “When you have these big projects that take up so much time, it's really nice to have that help.” - Caroline Hull   “I will say it's a huge team project… everyone had their piece and it wouldn't have been possible without everybody.” - Katie Hunt   “If you’re considering changing a name like this, you want to make sure you have your ducks in a row, that your business is being treated like a business and you want to make sure you get that right before you launch.” - Katie Hunt   “It’s ironic because I've done this for other people, helped build and figure this out for other people, but sometimes it's so hard to do for yourself.”  - Katie Hunt   “You do the best you can. You get the big pieces done and out there. Then, if there are other things that you can tackle, you can do those later.” - Caroline Hull   “One thing I would tell people, whether it's a rebrand or launching a new site or whatever it is, take that time to dream big, map out your big wishlist as if time and money and everything were no option.” - Katie Hunt     LINKS Squarespace Web Developer: Susannah Carpenter   SEO Consultant: Myrna Daramy     SUBSCRIBE To subscribe on iOS, go to the iTunes page and subscribe to Proof to Product.

Because all of you are my people and this has been a process.” - Katie Hunt   “I felt like, ‘Gosh, Tradeshow Bootcamp just doesn't articulate all the different things that we do and how we help business owners.’” - Katie Hunt   “I worked with, no joke, four different designers who I highly respect and admire and I love their work. And we just couldn't land on anything that felt right.” - Katie Hunt   “I felt we're outgrowing the brand.

I went back to whose our audience? What kind of programming do they need?

And making sure that it all works and fits together and makes sense for your audience.” - Caroline Hull   “I'm a firm believer that we need to go back as entrepreneurs and constantly be reevaluating.

You may be one type of person. You may be the type of person who, you are currently working in a job and you have that side hustle that you really enjoy, but it just kind of supplements whatever you do for a living right now, and you’re happy where you are. Or, you might be the person who is currently working a job and you have that side hustle, but you have a bigger dream, and you are pushing towards that bigger dream, and you just want that bigger dream to come true, and you are just paralyze. Maybe it’s by fear, or by second guessing your talents or yourself, and you’re just not quite there yet. You’re not quite at the point where you feel like you can take that leap, to pursue that dream full time. At what point do you think you’ll be ready? At what point do you feel like, ‘yes, this is the time, this is the day that I’m going to take my dream full-time, I’m going to turn my side hustle, into my main hustle,’? My guest this week is Kelly Parker Smith. She is the Founder of Hello World Paper Company. She is a rubber stamp designer, and manufacturer, who lives just outside of St. Louis in Belleville, Illinois with her husband, three boys, and rescue kitten Katniss. She has grown her shop, Hello World Paper Company, with the idea that great products become even better when paired with top notch customer service, a little surprise and delight, and of course the perfect packaging. But here’s why I loved Kelly’s story so much: she had a dream, and she set out with a goal to build a school with Pencils of Promise, a school through her business. Today we’re going to dive into her business, and her purpose behind her business, which is building this school and providing education for other kids. ON GIVING BACK FROM THE BEGINNING From Kelly’s own wedding gifts, to her very first client’s charity of choice, giving back has been a foundation of Kelly’s business from the very beginning. However, it was her career as a teacher that truly sparked her love for providing education to all children. Hello Paper Company has pledged to build a school with Pencils of Promise, donating a percentage of profits every month. ON BECOMING AN ENTREPRENEUR FULL TIME Kelly talks the difficulties of balancing a full time career, while having such a passion for her side hustle. Taking a leap of faith in making her business full-time allowed her to make more time for her family, while also making an impact. However, becoming an entrepreneur did not come without sacrifice, hard work, and a lot of faith in the vision for her company. ON CREATING QUALITY OF LIFE Sometimes it’s worth sacrificing a higher paying salary to have better quality of life. Kelly talks the importance of examining your happiness and well-being to decide if your career path is truly benefitting you. Investing in others to bring onto your team, others who may do certain tasks better than yourself, not only frees up space in your day, but also in your mind. ON BUILDING A SCHOOL WITH PENCILS OF PROMISE Pencils of Promise is an organization that builds, and staffs schools, in third world countries. Hello World Paper Company has pledged to raise $35,000 to build and staff a full school. Kelly talks about her passion for Pencils of Promise and how children in these countries are craving the education that we often take for granted. About Kelly Smith, Founder of Purpose Generation: Kelly Parker Smith is a rubber stamp designer and manufacturer living just outside St. Louis in Belleville, IL with her husband, her three boys and their rescue kitten Katniss.

KEY TAKE-AWAYS: “When you feel stuck in one area of your life creatively, it's so important to try something new.” - Kelly Parker Smith “For me, money talks. What do I need to get done first? Who's paying me to do what that I have to get done? Then, when I have that scheduled out for the week, I look at what do I need to do to move forward in my business? Then, I schedule that out.” - Kelly Parker Smith “When our calendar gets so full it doesn't leave a space to breathe. It doesn't leave a space to think and to plan and to really execute on the high priority things.” - Katie Hunt “I don't have notifications on for my Etsy shop, I don't have notifications on my phone for my emails.” - Kelly Parker Smith “Every time I brought somebody on my team, my business grew, my revenue grew, and my sanity came back.” - Katie Hunt “Etsy is amazing. It's a great place to start, it's a great place to be. We'll never leave Etsy as long as it's there, but the thing is that you can't put everything you have into one platform, especially if you don't own it.” - Kelly Parker Smith “You have to think like a buyer.” - Kelly Parker Smith “I went in the direction that my business was telling me to go in. I listened to where the money was coming in, I was very meticulous in my bookkeeping, and I really looked at patterns and what was selling and what was making me profit and what wasn't. I just followed essentially what my business and my customers were telling me.” - Kelly Parker Smith LINKS:Lisa Congdon’s Creativebug ClassesPattern Camp with Jessica SwiftInkwell Press Planner   CONNECT WITH KELLY: Website(s): http://www.helloworldpaperco.com http://www.creativebizrebellion.com http://www.kellyparkersmith.com   Social Media Links: Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/helloworldpaperco http://www.instagram.com/creativebizrebellion http://www.instagram.com/kellyparkersmith   Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/helloworldpaperco http://www.facebook.com/creativebizrebellion http://www.twitter.com/creativebizreb   Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/helloworldpaper   Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/helloworldpaper FREE TRADESHOW WORKSHOP: If you’re gearing up for trade show season and need help creating a beautiful booth that doesn’t break the bank, I want to invite you to my free masterclass.

This is the last episode for the first season of the podcast! One lesson I keep learning is the power and possibility of saying a simple, “No.” I’m talking about saying NO to things that don’t serve you or bring you joy. Sometimes we psych ourselves out, and get suck into FOMO, right? But your authentic, empowered NO will always move you in the right direction.

I need to take a step back and see how I feel.’” - Caroline Hull “These print-on-demand services and the drop shipping options, they're really great especially for people that work at home and are still at the beginning stages of their business or scaling back and don't want to have a whole manufacturing warehouse.” - Katie Hunt “When I could feel like my business was hitting a point where I needed to grow but I wasn't sure how to do it, that was when I knew that I needed to go do something and be around people who knew more than I do.” - Caroline Hull “I've become like this mini podcast launch cheerleader and helping people figure out all the pieces that they need to get going.” - Caroline Hull “Podcasting was a hobby and now it's my business and doing the shop and the design was my business and now it's gone back to being my hobby.” - Caroline Hull “It is so just amazing that by opening myself up and being open to new possibility that I've ended up with this business that I love that to me is so similar to the original thing I had set out to do when I was a young 18-year-old.” - Caroline Hull   LINKSWebsite: www.carolinecreates.com Website: http://creativebizrebellion.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carolinecreates/ Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/carolinecreates   JOIN THE TSBC FAMILY:   Do you want to scale your business and add new revenue streams?  Are you ready to get a handle on your cash flow and tuck money away for retirement?     Maybe you are interested in increasing your visibility and fine-tuning your marketing outreach?  Perhaps you have a team that you want to nurture or need help building your team?   Our newest on demand program, Paper Camp+ can help you with all of these things and more.  The program includes 5 keynote presentations and 2 panels from a wide range of business experts.  You can watch what you need, when you need it most and revisit the videos as often as you’d like.     This course was built for anyone running a product based business, and extends way beyond the paper industry.  Enroll at www.tradeshowcamp.com/pcplus!

Today on the Podcast, Guest Caroline Hull: If you've ever been guilty of doing #AllTheThings than you know what it's like to be running on empty. Maybe you find yourself taking on too many projects, doing tasks you have zero skill or interest in, and chasing goals that aren't actually aligned with your values or longterm vision. But, like too many, you pound more coffee and pull more late nights. Why? Because you're a hard worker; maybe even a "helper."  You want the best for everyone and you have a hard time saying, "No." Still, deep down, something's screaming at you: "STOP this train! I want to get off."  The workload isn't sustainable; the lifestyle isn't satisfying; the support isn't there. You think, "What am I doing wrong?" Beat Burnout Before Burnout Beats YOU: You, me, WE can all get overloaded at times. Especially in those first 1-3 years of creative entrepreneurship where there's not, yet, enough cashflow or hands on deck to do all the jobs. Once the excitement and novelty of "launching" wears off, and the banal day-to-day operations kick in (if you've even mapped out what those are), it's easy to lose steam. No wonder you find yourself wearing 3,000 different hats, with 25 half completed projects, jumping from course to course, trying to DIY your marketing + your design + your website + your social media + your sales + your offerings. Of course, you feel "behind."Anyone would. You've forgotten who you are, what you want, why you started. Truth? Until you get clearer — clearer with your time, your money, and your energy — this spinning of the wheels won't quit. AND, without realizing it, you'll bury your business right into the ground. Ooh, ouch. I know. Designing Your Year Helps: That's why, last spring, when I started pre-production on the Dreamcatchers District Podcast I knew better than to do it myself. In the Fall/Winter of 2016, I had already mapped out project goals for Q2 and Q3 of 2017. I knew what I wanted more of, what I wanted less of, why, and what my role(s) would be in creatively directing that vision. I designed a plan and it felt goooood. Did it all go exactly without a hitch? That's adorable. Of course not! That's why systems, structures, strategies and emotional support are so dang important. Then, at least 70-80% of the time, things can go pretty smooth sailing. You know where you're going, you know how to get there, and you know why it's worth it. When the wind changes? You can steer that baby back to shore. While I "technically" could have done many of the tasks associated with editing, publishing, distributing and marketing a podcast — it was clear to me where my time, money, and energy was best spent. Given my stage of business, I knew exactly where to focus my strengths and how to produce revenue generating activities. And learning audio editing? That sure wasn't it. Enter My Podcast Producing Partner in Crime ... Caroline Hull of Caroline Creates. Now, if you’re running an online products based business, you're most certainly familiar with Creative Biz Rebellion; the podcast she co-hosts with Kelly Parker Smith of Hello World Paper Co. But what you might not know is the behind-the-scenes story of how this mamapreneur transitioned from ballet dancer to designer to dedicated podcast producer. Down the road we'll be hosting a future episode on How to Launch a Podcast, confessing all the mistakes we made along the way. But today's conversation is all about changing careers and discovering who you want to be. May we all be as warm, funny, and resilient as this woman. My producer, my friend, my Sweet Caroline. In this Episode We Talk About: • Why worshipping the Ballet God had become her whole identity • How she healed poor body image and a full blown eating disorder • The permission she gave herself and how she pivoted from dance to design • What it really felt like to chase something that wasn't working • When she was finally done with licking envelopes at 4am • The myth of Time Management (side note: this will be a future episode) • The Naptime Hustle vs the Pinterest mamapreneur fantasy • Why she chose to homeschool and the costs that had on her business • The 2 titles that are most important to her • Why doing #AllTheThings is the fast track to burnout • The truth about why most creative entrepreneurs procrastinate • What makes her joint venture with Kelly Parker Smith so fun • What she believes the Universe is trying to tell you • When she shifted priorities and hit up against values conflicts • Why podcast editing is the perfect fit for her introverted heart • How Flow and Grit are opposite sides of the same coin • The way she came to see failure and the lessons she's learned Get Ready to Hear All The Behind-The-Scenes Stories & Insights from Caroline Hull Mentioned in this Podcast: • Follow Caroline Hull: Twitter , Instagram , Facebook  • Podcast: Creative Biz Rebellion • Quote: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." ~ Einstein • Past Episodes: Listen to Episode #006 to hear when is the right vs wrong time to take on a creative project • The Dreamcatchers District Creative Direction: For Your Beliefs and Business, Ask Me How   This is Not a Monologue, Chime In!
