Is SEO dead in 2025?No, SEO is not dead in 2025; in fact, it's more vital than ever. The perception that SEO might be obsolete often stems from a misunderstanding of what it truly encompasses. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is fundamentally about being discoverable online. With 8.2 billion people in the world and 1.1 billion websites, and an astounding 8 to 16 billion daily searches on Google alone (with 15% being new searches every day), the act of searching for information is constant and growing.The conversation clarifies that "SEO" isn't limited to traditional search engines like Google. Platforms such as ChatGPT, Google, Reddit, TikTok, LinkedIn, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube all function as "search engines" where content needs to be optimized to be found. Therefore, anything you do to increase your visibility on these platforms is a form of SEO. The speaker emphasizes that fancy new terms like GEO, AEO, AIO, or SXO are just "cosmetics" for the same underlying principle: making your content discoverable. The core idea is that if you're not focusing on SEO, you're missing out on crucial opportunities for people to find your website and business.2. How has AI impacted SEO, and does it replace traditional SEO efforts?AI does not replace traditional SEO; instead, it exposes and adds structure to it. AI tools and platforms like ChatGPT, Alexa, Siri, Grock, Deepseek, Meta AI, Cloud, Perplexity, and Gemini rely on information from existing traditional platforms and servers. This means that to be found by AI search engines, your content first needs to be optimized and present on these traditional sources (like Google, Bing, Yandex, etc.).The speaker highlights that AI search engines respond based on information given from a "source." If you are not optimizing your original content and website (the "source"), you cannot become a "resource" for AI. AI is looking for well-structured, authoritative content with clear brand citations and links. Having duplicate profiles or unverified business claims on platforms like LinkedIn, for example, can negatively impact how AI (and traditional search engines) perceive your online presence, making it harder for your business to be recognized and recommended. Essentially, AI leverages and amplifies the importance of a robust, well-optimized online foundation.3. What are the key elements for a strong online presence in 2025, beyond just keywords?In 2025, a strong online presence moves beyond solely focusing on keywords to prioritizing conversations, user experience, and a holistic, structured approach to content. Key elements include:Content with Purpose: Focus on "who are you talking to? Who are you serving? Why are you showing up?" Your content should address specific questions and needs, aiming for positive, neutral, or negative sentiment analysis from AI.Continuous Optimization: SEO is not a one-time fix. Websites and content need regular updates. Blogs, for instance, have a *24-month cycle*, meaning consistent updates are crucial to maintain visibility. The "last modified" timestamp is vital for algorithms.Structured Content: Turn unstructured content (like a simple blog post) into structured articles with headings, internal/external links, embedded scripts, iframes, tables, infographics, FAQs, quotes, images, alt text, and schema (microdata/rich snippets). This makes it more digestible for both humans and search engines.Platform Integration & Tokenization: Your website should be connected to all relevant online platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, podcasts, etc.). When a page is updated, it gets "tokenized" (duplicated) across various search engines and platforms (Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Bing, ChatGPT). This ensures wide distribution and recognition.Google Search Console: This is paramount. Connecting your website to Google Search Console is the "internet service provider of Google" and allows you to track impressions, clicks, and positions, providing crucial data on your marketing efforts.E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness): Google's guideline emphasizes providing the best user experience. This means creating a well-structured, intentional, and high-quality online presence that builds trust and authority.4. Why is continuous content creation and updating crucial for SEO?Continuous content creation and updating are crucial because SEO is an ongoing process, not a one-time task. Websites need "oil changes" and "tire alignments" through new articles, blogs, and updates to remain healthy and high-performing for algorithms.Key reasons include:Content Decay: Blogs have a *24-month active cycle*. If content isn't updated within three years, its chances of sustaining visibility become slim, even with good initial content. The "last modified" timestamp on your content signals freshness and relevance to search engines.Algorithm Recognition: Search engines and AI prioritize active, recent, and updated information. Consistent updates help algorithms recognize your website as a continuously relevant and valuable source, leading to better rankings.Meeting Evolving Search Needs: Search volumes and user needs change with seasons, holidays, and emerging trends. Regularly updated content allows your business to align with these evolving search patterns.Increased Impressions and Authority: Consistently producing and updating 52 pieces of content a year can significantly boost your website's impressions and domain authority. This demonstrates expertise and a sustained commitment to providing value.Audience Retention: A continuous flow of valuable, updated content helps build an "attention map"that fosters a "retention curve," keeping your audience engaged and returning.5. How can businesses leverage diverse online platforms for SEO, and what's the role of podcasting?Businesses should leverage diverse online platforms by connecting their website as a central hub to all their social media, content, and directory listings. This creates a structured pathway for discovery and builds authority. The speaker emphasizes that platforms like LinkedIn, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Reddit are all search engines in their own right.Podcasting is highlighted as an exceptionally powerful tool for several reasons:Know, Like, and Trust Factor: Podcasting is described as the fastest way for someone to "know, like, and trust" you, as it allows for a deeper, more personal connection through voice.Authoritative Content: Like blogs and books, podcasts have an author, contributing to your overall "dominant authority online."Wide Distribution and Citation: Podcasts are distributed across *30-40+ stations* (Spotify, Apple, Pandora, iHeart, Podcast Addict, Alexa), each acting as a resource. When AI (like ChatGPT) or other search engines cite a podcast link, it directly mentions your content and business.Content Repurposing: Turning podcast episodes into topical blogs (show notes with hypertext links) auto-indexes your content through servers, further increasing visibility across traditional and AI search engines.Organic Lead Generation: Podcasting can organically attract clients without needing paid ads. As demonstrated by a client who gained clients from Google and ChatGPT after starting a podcast, it builds authority that leads to organic discovery and trust.Niche-Based Search: Podcasting allows for highly niche-based content, meaning if you show up consistently, algorithms will rank and refer you to people specifically looking for your expertise.By integrating podcasts with other platforms (website, social media, email lists) and consistently producing valuable content, businesses can significantly expand their reach and establish strong online authority.6. What is the significance of "tokenization" and the "last modified" date for online content?"Tokenization" refers to the process where, every time you update or "last modify" a page on your website, that page is essentially duplicated or recognized as an individual entity that can be shown on various web platforms and search engines. For example, if your website is updated, that updated content can then appear on Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Bing, and even AI platforms like ChatGPT.The "last modified" date is a crucial signal to algorithms. Just like your phone updates its software regularly, your website content needs consistent updates. If a blog post, for instance, was published in 2022 and hasn't been updated by September 2025, the algorithm recognizes this lack of recent activity. While it might still appear online if there's no competition, its chances of sustaining visibility are slim. A recent "last modified" date indicates to search engines that the content is fresh, relevant, and actively maintained, increasing its likelihood of being found and ranked. This continuous "tokenization" of updated content across the web amplifies your digital footprint and authority.7. What is the speaker's definition of "future" and how does it relate to SEO?The speaker defines "future" based on its Latin origin, "futurist," meaning "to grow or become," and its dictionary definition as "the time or a period of time following the moment of speaking or writing; time regarded as still to come."This definition directly relates to SEO by emphasizing that every piece of content you create – whether speaking on a podcast or writing a blog post – is an act of "speaking or writing into the future." It's a proactive planning project where your current efforts manifest over time. Just as one plans to build a house with a blueprint, SEO involves strategic planning and consistent execution. Answering questions in the form of web links or podcast episodes serves as a long-term investment. The way you answer one question can lead to several more, creating a continuous flow of engagement and discovery. By actively creating content now, businesses are building an online presence that will continually attract users in the "time still to come," ensuring sustained growth and visibility.8. What essential steps should a business take to start or improve its SEO strategy, especially when seeking professional help?To effectively start or improve an SEO strategy, especially when seeking professional help, a business should take several essential steps:Establish a Foundational Online Presence: The absolute first step is to have a website, or at minimum, a domain name. A website acts as the "anchor" for your business online. Without one, you lack a central hub for discoverability and tracking.Connect to Google Search Console: This is non-negotiable. Google Search Console is the "internet service provider of Google" and allows you to track critical data like impressions, clicks, and positions, which are vital for understanding and proving SEO effectiveness.Define Goals and Strategy: Before engaging with an expert, have a clear understanding of your business goals. If you don't have an SEO strategy, bring your business plan, and a professional can help build one from there. This includes understanding who you are talking to, who you are serving, and why you are showing up.Understand Investment Levels: Be prepared for an investment. While specific figures are mentioned (starting around *$1,500/quarter*), the key is to recognize that SEO is a continuous investment, not a one-time expense, and it offers long-term gains.Prioritize Content Creation for Search Engines (and then humans): As advised, "write everything for search engines, not for you." Focus on creating content that aligns with how algorithms discover and present information. This indirectly means writing for humans as well, as search engines aim to serve relevant and valuable content to users.Embrace Multi-Platform Content: Create diverse content forms (blogs, podcasts, videos, social media posts) that answer common questions people are asking. Distribute this content across relevant platforms, ensuring interconnections (e.g., website links in podcast show notes).Be Intentional and Consistent: SEO requires active, consistent effort. Dedicate time weekly (e.g., 45 minutes a day for 45 days) or invest in professional management to consistently update and optimize your online presence. This consistency builds authority and ensures you're actively engaging with algorithms.Prepare for a Consultation: When booking a call with an SEO expert, be ready to discuss your website, business plan, and specific goals. Professionals will often audit your website, provide insights via Loom videos, and offer structured plans (quarterly, biannually, or annually) with clear communication (e.g., weekly recorded calls).Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> Read SEO Articles>> Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY PodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cutting your budget doesn't have to mean cutting joy out of your life. With a bit of creativity and intention, you can save money while still enjoying what truly matters. Here's how to bring more purpose—and even fun—into your spending plan.Before diving into practical steps, begin with prayer. Ask God to help you cultivate contentment, because wise spending starts with a heart that trusts Him. As Paul reminds us in 1 Timothy 6:6, “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” Budgeting isn't just about numbers; it's about aligning your heart with gratitude for what God has already provided.1. Try a “Pantry Challenge” MonthCommit to eating what you already have in your fridge, freezer, and pantry for an entire month. You'll reduce grocery spending and uncover forgotten items—maybe even a few surprises. Free apps like SuperCook or Cooklist can help you find creative recipes using your existing ingredients, turning the challenge into a fun family adventure.2. Create a Family Fun FundEntertainment doesn't have to be expensive. Set a monthly cap for fun activities and get the whole family involved in choosing them. One week could be a hike and picnic at the park; another, a cozy movie night at home with popcorn and dollar-store candy. This approach teaches that joy isn't tied to a price tag.3. Swap Babysitting with Another FamilyChildcare can be costly, but community is a gift. Partner with another family you trust to take turns watching each other's kids. One week, you get a date night, the next they do—and no one spends a dime. You'll save money, build relationships, and create margin in your budget.4. Take On One Service YourselfPick one recurring expense and try handling it yourself for a season—such as washing the car, mowing the lawn, or grooming the dog. You may save more than you expect and even gain a new skill or appreciation for the task.5. Declare a Monthly “No-Spend” WeekendChoose one weekend a month to spend nothing beyond the essentials. Use the time to rest, reconnect, and enjoy free or low-cost activities, such as playing board games, going for a hike, or visiting the library. Turn it into a family challenge by deciding together how to use the extra savings for giving, saving, or a future treat.6. Practice the 30-Day RuleWhen tempted by a big purchase—like a gadget or appliance—write it down with the date and wait 30 days. If you still want it and it fits the budget after a month, you can move forward with confidence. More often than not, the urge will pass, and you'll keep your money where it belongs.None of these ideas is earth-shattering—and that's the beauty of them. Real transformation often comes from small, consistent decisions: choosing contentment over consumption, planning over impulse. Each intentional step strengthens your financial stewardship and, even more importantly, your trust in God.When your kids see you making wise choices, they learn the importance of being a good steward. When your spouse feels included, it builds unity. And when you invite God into your day-to-day financial decisions—even the small ones—you'll see His faithfulness in significant ways.A Tool to Help You Stay on Track: The FaithFi AppIf you're ready to take the next step in intentional budgeting, the FaithFi app is a great place to start.

SEO Marketing Successful Strategies for Q4 2025: Tracking, Sorting, and Mapping Data Intelligence with Favour Obasi-Ike | Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.This episode explains a three-step TSM marketing approach—Track, Sort, and Map—designed to create successful marketing strategies, particularly for Q4 2025. The tracking phase emphasizes the importance of a website for gaining organic and paid impressions, highlighting metrics like organic, paid, and earned traffic. Next, the sorting phase focuses on organizing business analytics by purchasing power, location, and pre/post-purchase intent to better understand customer needs.Finally, the mapping phase involves strategically distributing content across various platforms, using tools like pixels and analytics, to ensure the right audience finds the right products or services. The speaker also offers free SEO services and calls to help businesses implement these strategies.FAQs about this SEO Marketing Successful Strategies for Q4 2025: Tracking, Sorting, and Mapping Data Intelligence episode:1. What is the core three-step marketing strategy discussed for Q4 2025?The core strategy for marketing success in Q4 2025, and beyond, is the "TSM approach," which stands for Track, Sort, and Map. This methodology emphasizes understanding how your business is set up, collecting and organizing data, and then strategically guiding your audience from initial interest to conversion.2. Why is "tracking" considered the most important step in this strategy?Tracking is paramount because it provides the foundational metrics needed to understand your marketing efforts. Just like a runner on a track needs clear lines, businesses need to track metrics like impressions, leads, clicks, and website visitors. This involves monitoring organic, paid, and earned traffic. Without a website, which serves as the primary hub for collecting this data (including domain, hosting, and email communication), effective tracking is impossible. The speaker stresses, "When you track, you're able to attract," highlighting that data-driven insights allow you to effectively attract your target audience.3. How does the concept of "attention as a new currency" relate to successful marketing strategies?Favour introduces "attention as a new currency" and "retention as a new balance," emphasizing that in today's crowded digital landscape, consistently capturing and maintaining audience attention is crucial. This is achieved through consistent, valuable content across various platforms like blogs, podcasts, and social media. By tracking engagement and understanding what resonates with your niche audience, you can create a search-based campaign that puts your content at the top of search results, making you "first seen" and "first remembered," which directly translates to gaining valuable attention.4. What are the key considerations for "sorting" marketing data effectively?Sorting involves organizing your traffic and business analytics in a way that provides deeper insights into your audience. Key sorting parameters include purchasing power, location, pre-purchase intent, and post-purchase intent. By understanding where your audience is coming from, what they need, and why they need it, you can tailor your offerings more effectively. An example given is adapting workshop formats (morning/evening, virtual/in-person) and content (lead generation, AI visibility) based on audience feedback, rather than offering generic courses. Email marketing and audience segmentation are highlighted as crucial tools for this in-depth sorting.5. How does the speaker recommend optimizing paid advertising, specifically Google Ads, in conjunction with organic efforts?Favour suggests a cautious approach to Google Ads, advising against running them if you're not already showing up organically on Google search. Organic presence leads to a lower cost per acquisition, result, and click. While Google Ads can be effective with manual structures, exact and phrase matching, and granular control, the ultimate goal should be to shift towards a higher percentage of organic traffic (e.g., 62% organic vs. 38% paid). This is because organic traffic "earns" results and builds long-term authority, saving money over time compared to continuously paying for traffic. Platforms like Pinterest are also highlighted for their detailed targeting capabilities at a potentially lower cost per click compared to Google Ads, especially when leveraging tracked audience interests.6. What role does a website play in the overall TSM marketing strategy?A website is presented as the absolute foundational element. Without a website, none of the tracking, sorting, or mapping can effectively occur. It's the hub for organic impressions, a platform for content creation (blogs, podcasts), and a critical tool for understanding where your audience comes from (e.g., new vs. returning visitors). The website allows for the installation of tracking pixels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok) and integration with tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console, which are essential for gathering the data necessary for the TSM approach.7. What is the purpose of "mapping" in the TSM strategy, and how is it achieved?Mapping is about guiding your audience to the right destination based on their needs and your sorted data. It's about building a clear connection from point A (customer need) to point B (your solution/product). This involves understanding what people are searching for and ensuring your content and offerings directly address those searches. Mapping is achieved by strategically distributing content across various platforms (Google search, AI search results, social media, podcast distribution channels like RSS feeds) and ensuring your website has the necessary tags and pixels to track conversions. The goal is to be found when and where your target audience is looking, ensuring they take the desired action, much like finding the correct aisle in a grocery store.8. How can businesses leverage their intellectual property (IP) and improve their domain authority for long-term marketing success?Businesses should view their content and offerings as intellectual property (IP) and constantly assess its return. Consistent content production (blogs, podcasts) that remains relevant over time contributes significantly to sustained engagement, even without constant new releases. Improving domain authority is a long-term play, likened to building credit, with an average of about seven points per year if actively managed. Higher domain authority, especially with the integration of AI for top search and citation perspectives, leads to greater organic visibility and trust. By focusing on earned traffic through SEO and content that fulfills specific audience needs, businesses can build lasting authority and a stronger market presence.Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> SEO Optimization Blogs>> Book a Complimentary SEO Discovery Call with Favour Obasi-Ike>> 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.

Warrior woman— You say you want more. You want to feel powerful. Hot. Clear. Consistent. You want to be the woman who walks into the room and owns it. But you're not her. Not yet. So what's in the way? This episode is part two in our 3-part deep dive on becoming a motherfucking badass—and I'm breaking down the 10 biggest things that stop women from living like the powerful, magnetic force they know they are. Some of these you'll recognize instantly. Others are sneakier. But every single one is trainable. And that's the point. Being a badass isn't a vibe. It's a skillset. And you can build every part of her—one rep at a time. Let's go. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your big, beautiful brain isn't broken—she's just scared. You have to give her evidence. If you're exhausted, it's not a mindset issue. It's a nervous system and energy issue. You don't lack motivation—you lack structure, rhythm, and reps. You're not selfish for wanting more. You're not greedy. You're just a woman with a vision. You cannot badass your way forward on the good girl operating system. It needs a rewrite. If your body can't hold the vision, you'll never reach it. You don't have to duct tape together another plan—you need a table. Skills are trainable. Strategy creates confidence. Rhythm creates results. POWER QUOTES “You are not lazy. You're not unmotivated. You are just so damn tired.” “No one became a badass on no energy—because you don't have any power.” “Being a badass is not a mindset. It's a skillset. And skills? We can train.” “Your body can't hold the vision yet.” “If your nervous system and your metabolism aren't strong enough, you'll never reach the goals.” “Wanting more does not make you greedy. It does not make you selfish. It makes you a motherfucking badass.” “If we don't have a rhythm, everything feels chaotic. But with rhythm? We become a badass.” “You can't become a badass with chaos.” THIS EPISODE IS FOR: The woman who's chasing clarity but constantly stalling The woman who's training, building, pushing—but still feels like she's falling short The woman who wants more—but doesn't feel safe going all in The one who knows she's meant for something bigger, but can't hold it yet NEXT STEPS

“It's holding onto the fact that truly anything can happen. That's why I'm a fan of the sport. I love watching upsets happen. I love watching dragons get slayed and things like that. It's exciting! I think no matter what, I'm just going in to try to run a 1500 that I'm proud of and let the outcome be the outcome. That's not the focus; the focus is just doing the thing I love.”Three straight U.S. outdoor titles, a Diamond League victory, and a season that has firmly established Nikki Hiltz as America's standard-bearer in the 1500m.Earlier this month at Hayward Field, they did exactly what we've come to expect: poised in the pack, patient when the laps slowed, and then — with 100 meters to go — devastating to the competition. A 58-second last lap sealed a third consecutive national title and another ticket to the global stage.If we go beyond the results on the track, this year brought about quite a bit of change. Nikki underwent contract talks to start the year and stuck with Lululemon. They switched up their coaching setup and started working with Juli Benson. All of this while privately recovering from top surgery, which they revealed just recently. Many of these things would seed doubt in an athlete, but Nikki has not skipped a beat.Most recently, the Brussels Diamond League proved that — another perfectly timed kick down the final straight to reel in Australia's Linden Hall and score their first-ever Diamond League win in 3:55.94, making history as the first American in seven years to win a 1500m on that stage.Now, Hiltz heads to Tokyo as more than a national champion. I firmly believe they're a medal contender. Consistent, battle-tested, and dangerous when the race is decided late.We talk about the evolution behind this season, the mental battles of change and competition, and how Hiltz has grown into thinking about themselves as not just one of America's best, but one of the world's.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Nikki Hiltz | @nikkihiltz on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on InstagramMentioned in this episode…Listen: Nikki Hiltz's 2025 USA Track & Field Outdoor National Championships 1500m Recap - Ali on the Run Show____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

Meet Iddo Tal – a coach who went from struggling to enroll clients to consistently signing $5K+ premium clients with confidence. Look, I get it. You're probably grinding it out for pennies on the dollar while watching other coaches land those big-ticket clients. Iddo was EXACTLY where you are right now. Undercharging. Overdelivering. Hustling his ass off just to scrape together enough clients to pay the bills. But then something clicked. Iddo made ONE simple shift that changed his entire business overnight. He stopped playing small. He packaged his expertise into a high-ticket program. And he started charging what he was actually worth - $5K+ per client. The result? Everything transformed. His confidence skyrocketed. His clients started getting BETTER results. And his business finally became predictable and profitable. In this raw, unfiltered 34-minute conversation, Iddo pulls back the curtain on EXACTLY how he did it: ✅ The mindset breakthrough that shattered his scarcity thinking forever ✅ Why charging premium prices actually made his clients MORE successful ✅ How he conquered the fear and self-doubt that was keeping him stuck ✅ The exact system he uses to attract dream clients on autopilot ✅ His no-BS advice for coaches still trapped in the "time-for-dollars" hamster wheel If you've been telling yourself that high-ticket coaching "isn't for you" or that your clients "can't afford it," Iddo's story is going to destroy every limiting belief you have.

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
If you've been in business for any length of time, you've probably felt it: the sales rollercoaster. One month you're celebrating record sales, the next you're staring at your numbers wondering how to make ends meet. It's exhausting. And it's not the way you want to run your business long term. In this episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm teaming up with Susan Bradley of the Social Sales Girls , an expert in brand collaborations, to share two powerful strategies that can help you finally step off that rollercoaster for good. We're talking about: Why consistency matters when it comes to sales and cash flow. Two proven pathways to consistency: growing your audience through collaborations and keeping customers buying through recurring revenue. The biggest mistakes to avoid when starting with either strategy. Simple, actionable tips you can take this week to start seeing results. Why Consistency Matters Most product-based business owners know the highs and lows all too well. Big spikes during launches or holidays, followed by long slow stretches. That's stressful and unpredictable. Consistency is what allows you to grow and scale. Consistent visibility brings in new customers, while recurring revenue keeps your cash flow steady month after month. You need both for a strong, sustainable business. Pathway 1: Brand Collaborations When you collaborate, you don't just expand your reach. You also build credibility by being introduced through someone your audience already trusts. Take Action: Identify three businesses with a similar audience but a different product. Brainstorm a simple joint promotion to share with both audiences. Pathway 2: Recurring Revenue with Subscription Boxes Subscription boxes stabilize your revenue and keep customers coming back. A subscription box turns a one-time purchase into an ongoing relationship, giving your business the consistency you've been missing. This strategy has transformed so many businesses, including mine. Predictable income means you can plan better, hire smarter, and focus on growth instead of chasing the next sale. Take Action: Start with a product your customers already buy regularly and brainstorm how you could offer it in a subscription format. Mistakes to Avoid Even the best strategies can backfire if you approach them the wrong way. Collaboration Mistakes: Picking partners for their product instead of the audience they serve. Not tracking and measuring results to see what's really working. Subscription Mistakes: Overcomplicating your first box instead of starting simple. Underpricing instead of building healthy profit margins from the start. Ready to Go Deeper? Susan is offering a Brand Collab Bootcamp where she'll teach you how to find the right partners, pitch confidently, and create win-win promotions. And if you're ready to turn your products into predictable recurring revenue, join me for Subscription Box Coaching Week. I'll help you outline what your subscription box could look like, how to position it, and how to create reliable monthly income.

Today on Consuming the Craft, I welcomed back Jeff Frisbee from Addison Farms, a returning guest and the driving force behind one of our region's finest family-run wineries. We caught up over a glass of wine—okay, maybe more than one glass—while sharing laughs about the unique problems that accompany running a vineyard, especially as harvest season approaches. From creative deer deterrent tactics to the intense workdays of grape picking and pressing, we dove into the realities, challenges, and joys of small-scale winemaking. Jeff also gave me a fascinating wine-mead blend to distill for student projects, sparking a discussion about fermentation, distillation, and the pursuit of crafting something truly unique. Jeff is the owner and winemaker at Addison Farms, a limited production winery nestled in the rolling hills of Western North Carolina. Hailing from a background rooted deeply in local agriculture, he and his family have worked tirelessly to not only keep the farm in the family but also to evolve it into a celebrated destination for wine lovers. Jeff's ethos centers on stewardship of the land, a commitment to quality, and a willingness to experiment—all grounded in a love for community and a touch of self-deprecating humor. “This time of year, we have to stop worrying about esthetics and start worrying about practicality—because the deer can decimate very quickly.” ~Jeff Frisbee Today on Consuming the Craft:· Addison Farms' 2023 and 2024 red wines are still in barrel, while their whites have already been released and are almost sold out.· The fruit from the past couple of years has been fantastic, and prospects for the coming harvest look strong—if the deer can be kept at bay.· Creative methods (wind socks, RVs, noise makers) are essential for deterring wildlife and protecting the vineyard's livelihood.· Harvest days are long and intense, starting early in the morning, featuring manual grape picking and immediate processing.· As a “limited production winery,” Addison Farms operates smaller than most and relies heavily on family and community help.· Consistent fermentation is a key to quality, especially when annual crop conditions can vary drastically.· Jeff donates wine and mead blends to support student distilling projects, believing in the value of experimentation and education.· Protecting farmland is at the core of Jeff's mission—keeping agricultural spaces safe from development is a personal and community priority.

Most service providers and agency owners focus all their energy on creating content for clients—but neglect their own brand. In this episode, I break down why building brand equity is one of the smartest long-term moves you can make in business. I share how creating a simple content system helped me grow my business over 10 years ago, and how that same system continues to bring me a steady stream of sales—even when I step away or take a break. I also share how I'll be teaching this in a new program I'm opening up soon. Learn more about my coaching programs here: https://www.almabradford.com/programs

How Internal Employee Experience Drives Exceptional Customer Service Shep interviews Taylor Scott, Founder of Lead with Hospitality, LLC, and author of Give Hospitality. He talks about how living and working from a place of hospitality can transform both employee experiences and customer relationships. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: How does a positive company culture directly impact customer satisfaction? How does an employee's internal experience translate to a better customer experience? Why is it important for organizations to align their hiring practices with their core values? How can businesses differentiate between providing transactional service and building genuine customer relationships? How can leadership inspire employees to consistently deliver exceptional service to customers? Top Takeaways: True hospitality is about living and working with generosity. It is about giving kindness, compassion, encouragement, and making people feel important, whether they're customers or coworkers. A great customer experience always begins with a strong internal culture. When employees are happy and treated well, they are more likely to treat customers with respect and kindness. What happens behind the scenes of an organization shows up for the customer every time. A positive work environment leads to employees who want to stay, work hard, and care about the company's success. When a new employee joins a company, their first experiences matter just as much as a customer's first impression. Instead of overwhelming them with boring paperwork, give them a chance to experience the best parts of the brand right away. Imagine if, on your first day, you got to truly experience the brand and enjoy what makes it special, instead of just filling out paperwork. Meaningful onboarding makes new hires feel welcome and comfortable, and teaches them about the brand's values more effectively than any paperwork can. When there is alignment, employees feel like they belong, which inspires them to give their best for the customers. Finding employees who share the same values as your organization is the key to building a strong team. Lasting business success comes from building real relationships with customers and employees, not just completing quick transactions. Make every interaction, at every stage of the journey, an opportunity to connect and leave a lasting positive impression. Simple acts of recognition like calling someone by name, thanking them for their loyalty, or leaving a handwritten note can have a huge impact. These small gestures, which are often free or inexpensive, show customers that they are seen and valued, not just another number. Consistent positive experiences build trust. No matter where your customers interact with your brand, whether on an app, in person, or through customer service, the experience should feel consistent and reliable. Plus, Taylor talks about his new book, Give Hospitality, a story about how an uplifting, generous culture transforms both customers and employees. Tune in! Quote: "The essence of hospitality is the ability to make people feel welcome, comfortable, and important." About: Taylor Scott is an inspirational keynote speaker and organizational development consultant. He is a best-selling author, and his new book, Give Hospitality: A Hopeful Story of What Happens When We Live, Work, and Love from a Place of Generosity, is now available on Amazon.

Episode Summary: This episode is a deep dive into the critical, yet often overlooked, skill of self-awareness. Randy and Greg discuss why it's easy to see the solutions to other people's problems but incredibly difficult to recognize our own, a phenomenon caused by emotional attachment and personal blind spots. They explore how these blind spots, often rooted in our weaknesses or subconscious triggers, can hold us back from seeing the opportunities right in front of us. The conversation covers practical strategies for increasing self-awareness, such as journaling, meditation, and paying attention to recurring feedback from trusted sources. Additionally, they highlight how modern tools like AI can serve as an unbiased partner in uncovering these hidden areas, helping you to delegate weaknesses and double down on your strengths. Key Takeaways: Self-awareness is the key to seeing the opportunities that are already in front of you. We all have blind spots, and the first step to overcoming them is acknowledging their existence. It's easier to solve others' problems because we lack the emotional attachment that clouds our own judgment. Your personal triggers (physical or mental) are often signposts pointing directly to your blind spots. Recurring feedback from multiple trusted sources is a strong indicator of a blind spot you need to address. To overcome blind spots, focus on amplifying your strengths and learn to delegate your weaknesses. Tools like AI (e.g., Gemini, ChatGPT) can act as a non-judgmental "interactive journal" to help you brainstorm ideas and identify blind spots. Consistent habits like journaling and meditation are foundational practices for building self-awareness. Questions Answered in This Episode: What is self-awareness and why is it so important for success? Why is it so much easier to see other people's problems than our own? How can you identify your personal blind spots? What are "triggers" and how do they relate to your blind spots? How can you use feedback from friends and family to uncover areas for growth? Should you focus on improving your weaknesses or doubling down on your strengths? How can you use AI tools like Gemini or ChatGPT for personal development and self-awareness? What daily habits, like journaling and meditation, can help increase your self-awareness? Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Joe Dispenza. Concepts: Self-Awareness, Blind Spots, Triggers, Strengths and Weaknesses, Personal Development, Journaling, Meditation, Delegation, AI (Artificial Intelligence). Tools: Gemini, ChatGPT, DuckDuckGo.

She also addresses gluten-free diets, flavored seltzers, craving pathways in the brain, chronic pain management, and the importance of consistent eating patterns for metabolic health.Key Takeaways:About 20% of people may not respond to GLP-1s due to genetic and metabolic differences; deeper lab and genetic testing may be needed to uncover root causes.New oral GLP-1 options like Orforglipron are on the horizon, promising greater convenience and accessibility.Transient increases in liver enzymes can occur with rapid weight changes; regular monitoring and medical guidance are important.The POMC pathway in the brain plays a crucial role in cravings and metabolism—medications like Contrave can help by targeting this pathway.Flavored seltzers are generally fine, but watch for BPA-lined cans; gluten-free isn't always healthier unless medically necessary.Chronic pain medications often impact metabolism—exploring underlying metabolic causes and non-GABA, non-opioid alternatives with providers is key.Consistent, “patterned” eating supports metabolic stability and brain function.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea shares how tweaking her medication “cocktail” and eating patterns improved her results.Dr. Cooper and Mark discuss real-life snack strategies for fueling brain power and avoiding metabolic pitfalls.Resources from the episode:Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to explain where our fat really comes from and why it won't go and stay away.

DOWNLOAD SLIDES DOWNLOAD AFFIRMATION OF GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH Pastor Bryan Hudson's message "The Spirit of Faith, Part Two: The Good Fight of Faith" emphasizes that faith in God is not only for crises but a consistent lifestyle of belief and action rooted in God's Word. Faith in God is an active, results-producing conviction that connects us to God's promises and must be developed like a muscle through discipline, consistency, and endurance. A “good fight” of faith is assured victory because God fights our battles, while a “bad fight” comes from unpreparedness and inconsistency. Believers must look to Jesus, lay aside distractions and sins, exercise patience, and run with endurance to avoid spiritual fainting. Regardless of the situations we face, a lifestyle of faith, and "fighting the good fight of faith" enables us to remain undefeated and triumphant because God's treasure lives within us. Summary of Message (Generated by OpenAI: The Spirit of Faith, Part Two: The Good Fight of Faith 1. Foundation of the Message Key Texts: 2 Corinthians 4:13 – And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak 1 Timothy 6:11–12, But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses” Review from Part One: Faith is more than a tool for crises—it is a lifestyle. God has placed His treasure in “earthen vessels,” showing both His confidence in us and our responsibility to live faithfully. 2. What is the Spirit of Faith? A disposition or attitude aligned with the Word of God. The human spirit infused by the Holy Spirit producing bold, enduring faith. Not only belief, but a lifestyle that reflects faith in thought, conduct, and endurance. 3. Faith Defined Faith in God is an active, results-producing belief, that involves applying God's Word, taking action based on His promises. Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Weymouth's translation: “Now faith is a well grounded assurance of that for which we hope, and a conviction of the reality of things which we do not see.Analogy: Faith as a key fob—even when the car is not seen, possession of the fob guarantees its reality. The Amplified Bible, “Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things we hope for, being the proof of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality - faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.” 4. The Good Fight of Faith A good fight: one where the outcome is already assured because God fights for us. A bad fight: when unprepared, careless, or inconsistent (e.g., cramming for a test, showing talent without discipline). Consistency—not just talent—earns trust. Faith is inseparable from faithfulness. 5. Lifestyle of Faith Faith must be developed like a muscle—strengthened through use, testing, and endurance. A lifestyle of faith is evidenced through: Consistent good works. Excellence in daily living. Spiritual disciplines (prayer, Bible reading, fasting, agreement in community). Without faith as a lifestyle, believers risk “fainting”—losing heart due to lack of spiritual nutrition. 6. How to Fight the Good Fight Look to Jesus – the Author and Finisher of faith (Hebrews 12:1–2). Lay aside weights and sins – not only obvious sins but unnecessary burdens. Run with endurance – not just soaring or sprinting, but faithfully walking without fainting. Exercise patience – faith and patience work together; they are “power twins.” Avoid weariness – consider the perseverance of Jesus, family, and others who endured. 7. Dangers of Fainting Physical fainting comes from lack of oxygen/nutrition. Spiritual fainting comes from lack of connection to Christ, lack of Word intake, and lack of consistency. Remedy: Re-focus on Jesus, nourish faith through obedience, and draw strength from faithful examples. 8. Marks of a Good Fight 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 – We may be hard pressed, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down, but never crushed, in despair, forsaken, or destroyed. 1 John 4:4 – Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. The difference lies between external pressures and internal strength through Christ. 9. Affirmation of Faith (Confession) DOWNLOAD The sermon concluded with a powerful declaration: I have the spirit of faith and a lifestyle that supports it. I fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life. My faith grows daily through God's grace in both good and bad times. I endure with patience, will not faint, and triumph in Christ. 10. Core Takeaways Faith is not situational but a lifestyle of faithfulness. A “good fight” is already won because Christ secures the victory. Preparation, discipline, and patience make faith durable. Believers must avoid fainting by staying spiritually nourished and focused on Jesus. The spirit of faith ensures we triumph—even under pressure—because God's treasure lives within us.

When neurodiverse students are prepared, their college experience will be more successful and peaceful, and they will thrive. Navigating the transition to college can be a unique challenge for neurodiverse students and their families. Preparing both parents and students for this journey can make all the difference. Understanding Neurodiversity Neurodiversity acknowledges that every brain works differently, a natural human variation. Conditions like ADHD, autism, and anxiety fall under this category, demanding tailored support. Neurodiverse students, bright in their own right, often process information at unique speeds and benefit from specific learning strategies. The Importance of Advocacy and Support Parents must become staunch advocates for their neurodiverse students. Explore college resources like counseling and disability services. Actively seek out accommodations for students - provide detailed IEP or 504 plans. The more specific, the better. In addition, universities often offer free psychological counseling and support groups for neurodiverse students. Ensure your child is aware of the resources available to them and encourage them to use them. This proactive approach can significantly impact your child's success and help them thrive. Creating a Structured Environment At home or on campus, establish a dedicated study space to minimize distractions and promote focus. Encourage the use of tools like white noise machines, noise-canceling headphones, and calendars. Assist in scheduling academic and leisure activities, emphasizing balance between work and self-care. Physical movement is crucial—encourage activities in campus gyms or outdoor exercises. Transition Strategies for Parents Parents should assist with campus and online technology walkthroughs to become familiar with the systems they will be using for school. Another strategy to help neurodiverse students is to create a personalized "all about me" letter for instructors. Doing so will help manage professor expectations without stress. Consistent parental involvement and understanding can ease the transition and foster independence. Empowering Neurodiverse Success A little preparation can transform the college experience for neurodiverse students. By advocating, preparing, and supporting your child, you are setting them up for a successful transition. Engage with their journey every step of the way. The right strategies can ensure that neurodiverse students thrive in their college environment. Specific for moms Moms, it is imperative that you work to regulate your nervous system to provide adequate responses and don't overreact when your child is in need. The transition to college can be stressful and emotional, and your children will need your support. The calmer you are, the less emotional chaos you will experience with your child.
