Today's guest on the AHC podcast is Christo Hall, co-founder of Basic Bananas, a marketing mentoring agency for small businesses. Christo and his team have assisted thousands of different businesses, including salons, over the years, to master their marketing and increase sales, and today we'll be talking about how to effectively outsource your social media.We're all time poor, right? But as a business owner, you're probably struggling to manage all of your daily tasks more than most. You might look after your businesses's social media yourself, but perhaps it's becoming a bit of a time-consuming chore, so you'd like to hand the reins over to someone else to manage it. But ensuring that the next person responsible for your socials gets it right can be downright challenging.When most business owners outsource or get a team member to implement their social media, what often happens is the person, the marketing agency, or even the in-house team member, can get your brand's tone of voice wrong, or sometimes they don't understand the industry. Maybe they make grammatical errors or choose the wrong images, or their wording just sounds wrong. Whatever the case, it can be very detrimental to your brand. So when that happens, what happens to your socials? You end up bringing it back in house and doing it yourself all over again, which can be a struggle for a time poor business owner. So how can you move your social media off your to-do list and get it right at the same time?Here's some great tips from Christo about how to do just that.

In this episode I talk to Franziska Iseli on how she uses surfing in her life to "Be Awesome." I love the saying "Be Awesome" so much I may even use as SurfPeople's mantra. Franziska is a woman of many talents and loves building new business and helping others to grown their own. She is married to Christo Hall who was in episode number 3, so there is no doubt that surfing and the ocean is at the core of everything they do. I really love her attitude towards life and thinks that passion is good, but it can be dangerous to try to eek out a living from your passion. So she recommends that always follow your passion but if you are in a job that sucks try to apply passion to certain aspects of the job. If, after that you're are still not happy maybe then you should look at some alternatives. She operates and creates content for her Ocean Lovers website which started as a social experiment and she talks about to spend $5 a day to build the "Ocean Lovers" community. Franziska loves the Maldives (so do I) because living on boat where all your food and travel is sorted your left with the task of just surfing and relaxing. I believe(d) that there are 3 key elements to living a full and successful life: Live with passion, try hard to overcome your fears, and take massive action. Franziska suggested another element that I have no hesitation adding to my list. The forth one is Trust (In yourself & others) This is a great episode and I hope you enjoy it.
