Since 2014, Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stoic newsletter has landed in inboxes every single morning, offering ancient wisdom in bite-size, highly clickable form.It's also a masterclass in content marketing. In this episode, we're unpacking what B2B marketers can learn from The Daily Stoic with the help of Amanda Dyson, VP, Head of Marketing at FourKites.Together, we explore how to break the marketing mold, why the most impactful content is also the most practical, and how anchoring your message in core values makes it stick. Stoicism isn't just a philosophy; if done right, it's a blueprint for modern marketing.About our guest, Amanda DysonWith 20 years B2B software and SaaS marketing expertise, Amanda specializes in go-to-market strategy; consultative marketing; change and people management; lead generation; account based marketing; partner co-marketing; integrated digital marketing; email marketing; live and virtual events; corporate branding and storytelling; account segmentation and targeting; project and budget management, and strategic advisement.Amanda has run regional and global teams. She has a passion for people and results and a proven track record of success delivering on KPIs and OKRs. She has held successively responsible, cross-functional leadership positions in sales and marketing, including alliances, partnership marketing, ABM, demand generation, field marketing, solutions marketing, events, communications, and corporate marketing for global Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software companies.A California girl at heart, Amanda happily resides in Charlotte, North Carolina with her family of five.

Amanda has an MBA from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University with a focus in Marketing, Finance and Supply Chain, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Economics with a Minor in Professional Writing from the University of California, Santa Barbara.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stoic Newsletter:Break the marketing mold. Stoicism may be ancient, but Ryan Holiday has made it feel new and modern. Amanda sees that reinvention as a creative north star. She says, “Let's do something wild. Some of my favorite marketing campaigns have just been weird stuff. It breaks the mold and it gets something done.” Ryan Holiday didn't market stoicism by copying academic textbooks, he made it approachable and surprising. B2B marketers should do the same. Surprise earns attention. A little weirdness, done with purpose, goes a long way.Make it usable, not just insightful. Ryan Holiday's greatest trick isn't sounding smart, it's making stoicism actionable. Amanda says, “He does things in such a bite-size, practical way that you can hold onto it.” That's exactly how B2B content should work. Don't just publish thought leadership that nods at trends. Give your audience tools they can actually apply. Teach them something they'll remember at 4 PM on a chaotic Tuesday. If it doesn't help them do their job better, it's just noise.Anchor your content in core values. The Daily Stoic isn't random. It's rooted in four core tenets: courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom. Amanda draws the parallel for marketers: “It's all fostered and rooted in these core values or the stoic virtues, which you could look at your brand pillars in the same kind of light.” B2B content should be more than campaign-deep. When your content reflects your company's true values, it resonates longer and travels farther. Think less about filling the calendar, and more about reinforcing what you stand for. Quotes*“ I really challenge my teams to get back to storytelling. You gotta break out of the box, so let's do something wild. Some of my favorite marketing campaigns I've ever done have just been weird stuff: bobbleheads, robots on the beach. Random things that are not B2B software, but it breaks the mold and it gets something done. I think Ryan's done that with his marketing of stoicism. He's broken the mold, right? He reinvigorated this ancient philosophy, and so that's definitely a lesson I think we can learn from him too on content.”*“ So we are all about how do we take one thing and reuse it in different ways. I think if we look at Ryan and his newsletter, I kind of mentioned his repetition. I don't think he sends the exact same newsletter, you know, multiple times. But there's certainly similar messages where you can go back in your archives and dig those things up again and present it in a different way. Content is huge. It drives, internally and externally, all of our activities. But you gotta be really smart about how you do it and how you use it, 'cause you're competing with so much noise. It can definitely be challenging to again break that mold.”*“ Something that makes him a tremendous marketer is that he really believes in what he's selling us, right? He's created this brand that is a lifestyle. Stoicism is a philosophy, so there's a lot of high value attached to it and how you live your life.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Amanda Dyson, VP, Head of Marketing at FourKites[00:58] Why Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stoic Newsletter[03:04] The Role of VP, Head of Marketing at Four Kites[04:18] Origins of Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stoic[09:27] Understanding Tucker Max[13:12] Stoicism 101: Old Ideas for Modern Chaos[20:23] Building a Daily Ritual[22:21] Strategies for Writing Like a Pro[25:35] Inspiration as a Driver for Your Content[35:55] Creating Marketing Tactics That Actually Matter[39:00] FourKites' Content Strategy[40:31] What's Working for Amanda Now?[44:15] Measuring ROI at Four Kites[49:49] Advice for Marketing Leaders[51:27] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Amanda on LinkedInLearn more about FourKitesAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

We want to put as many shots up as possible, but we want to have calculated shots. We want to take them with low budgets… I'll make a bet and I'll start it very cheaply.” — Chris Cunningham“The only way it's really going to scale is if I brought in an expert... I took a bet that all companies would have content creators if they wanted to compete. They'll have some kind of creator that creates content for them consistently.” — Chris Cunningham“Content's just another task, right? Like anyone can make excuses. So if you're just not making content, it means you don't prioritize it. We prioritize it.” — Chris Cunningham“The dividends content rewards with is nuts. The amount of people I've met, the people who DM me and just what I'm learning… There's no reason not to make content.” — Chris Cunningham“If I had to start over and I'm at a new company—we're building in public... No actors, just talking about what we're working on. At the end of the day, I would just ask for like 5-10 minutes of all the early employees: what did you do today? And find a cool, clever way to chop it up. That's exactly what I would do.” — Chris Cunningham“You need to know your ICP. If you're creating content and you don't know who you're creating for, you really just lost the whole goal right there.” — Chris CunninghamShow notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicChris Cunningham - Head of Social Marketing at ClickUp

Escaping the underworld may not sound like a marketing strategy until you look at how Hades turned it into a blueprint for success.Developed by indie studio Supergiant Games, Hades isn't just a video game, it's a critically acclaimed masterpiece thanks to its iterative development, rich storytelling, and a fanbase that helped shape the game in real time. In this episode, we dive into the lessons marketers can learn from this roguelike phenomenon with special guest Zoe Hawkins, Director, Content Marketing & Integrated Campaign Strategy at Sumo Logic.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from fearless experimentation, community co-creation, and crafting content your audience can't help but share.About our guest, Zoe HawkinsZoe Hawkins is a former video game and tech journalist turned content marketer. She has over a decade of professional experience turning technical understanding into fluent communication. Working with a range of B2B tech companies, Zoe has helped create value across marketing and strategy. She also serves as co-lead for Sumo Logic's sustainability-focused ERG, the Planeteers. When not working, Zoe is usually absorbed in speculative fiction – video games, books, or streaming media. She's a mom to two cats and a grade-school-aged daughter, living with her husband in perpetually sunny Arizona.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Hades:Experimentation is the only way forward. In Hades, dying isn't a setback; it's part of the process. Zoe says, “You keep experimenting and you're gonna fail. And that's okay... Each time you learn and you grow and you do it better.” For marketers, it's a reminder that campaigns don't need to be perfect out of the gate. Failure isn't fatal. Failure is how you find what works.Build content with your community, not just for them. Supergiant launched Hades in early access, inviting players to shape the game as it evolved. Zoe explains, “They give feedback. It's almost like a co-design, co-development process with your fans.” B2B marketers can do the same by involving their audience early, whether through feedback loops, pilots, or beta content. Let your audience help build what they want. It not only strengthens relationships, but it also keeps them excited about what's coming next.Create content that people want to share. Hades isn't just a game people play, it's one they rave about. Zoe asks, “How do you make it that people are actually happy to use your product and excited to use it… not just customer loyalty, but advocacy? They wanna tell other people, ‘you will not believe how cool this thing is'.” That's exactly what Hades achieves through intentional design, standout storytelling, and undeniable personality. Marketers should aim for the same. Treat your content the way Hades treats gameplay, and your audience won't just consume it, they'll spread it.Quotes*“ You keep experimenting, and you're gonna fail. And that's okay. If I think about it, you come into a new team or you come into a new product launch or you come into a new organization, whatever it might be. And you think you know how to play the game, you think you know what it takes to succeed, to beat the boss, whatever that is. And you do the run according to the way that you've done it, maybe in other roles or other companies, and you die, you fail. It doesn't necessarily go a hundred percent to plan, and that's okay. And then you get to restart with a new weapon, a new strategy, a new approach, whatever that might be, and pull it back together. Bring it back in to say, ‘okay, let's, let's try it again. Let's run it again and see if we're successful this time.' And that just feels so liberating and then each time you learn and you grow and you do it better.”*“ I love the idea that they only make one game at a time, that they're so focused, and it comes through in the work. It's so polished, it's so well made, and clearly made with love, that transfers to me. And I think if we tie it back to that B2B marketing, I think about working in tech, working in SaaS, how do you give that moment of delight where it's not just like, ‘oh my gosh, your company saved me this amount of money or whatever, or this tool is worthwhile for me.' But how do you make it that people are actually happy to use your product and excited to use it, or have that sense of not just customer loyalty, but advocacy. They wanna tell other people, ‘you will not believe how cool this thing is.'”*“ One of my favorite kinds of content to make is case studies because we get to make our customer shine and tell their story… I know our story backwards and forward. What's your story? Why are you winning with this? Why are you succeeding with this? And being able to tell something cool that they figured out, a way they're using our product that we didn't even think about that's interesting or cool.”*“ Not being afraid to experiment, not being afraid to fail, I think, is such an important marketing lesson, because you're gonna have some risks that are gonna be great, and you're gonna take some risks that are gonna just completely flop. And that's okay. That's how we learn. That's how we try new things.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Zoe Hawkins, Director, Content Marketing & Integrated Campaign Strategy at Sumo Logic[02:20] Why Hades?[03:08] The Role of Director of Content Marketing and Integrated Campaigns at Sumo Logic[03:54] Origins of Hades[15:29] B2B Marketing Lessons from Hades[44:32] Importance of Humor in Branding and Content Strategy[49:47] Versatility of Video Content[54:11] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Zoe on LinkedInLearn more about Sumo LogicAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Welcome back to the Empower Her Business Accelerator podcast! I'm your host, Philippa Channer, and this month we've been unpacking one of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs—how to find your ideal content rhythm. Last week, we dove into the balancing act between consistency and content quality. And today, we're shifting gears slightly to tackle the burnout that often comes with trying to “do it all.” If you've ever found yourself staring at your laptop at 11 p.m., scrambling to get something—anything—posted just to stay “consistent,” this episode is for you. In this week's episode, we're addressing how to stay visible online without sacrificing your well-being. Burnout doesn't just drain your energy—it can slowly dismantle your creativity and confidence. That's why we're focusing on how to maintain a content schedule that works with your lifestyle and energy, not against it. You'll walk away with practical, sustainable strategies that help you show up consistently and protect your peace. Let's dive into the key takeaways and steps you can implement today: (01:00) Burnout Isn't Just Fatigue—It's a Red Flag Burnout isn't simply about being tired. It's the physical and mental exhaustion that comes from constant output without rest or reward. It often stems from unrealistic schedules, lack of support, or discouragement from lackluster results. ✨ Action Step: Reflect on your recent content efforts. Are they energizing or depleting you? If it's the latter, it's time to reassess. (02:00) Set a Schedule You Can Actually Sustain A “consistent” schedule doesn't mean daily posting—it means showing up reliably in a way that you can maintain long term. Three high-quality posts a week can be far more effective than seven low-energy ones. ✨ Action Step: Review your current posting calendar. Does it reflect your actual capacity, or are you trying to keep up with someone else's strategy? (03:00) Build in Rest Days—Yes, Really Just like your body needs rest after a workout, your creativity needs space to recharge. Scheduling content off-days helps prevent burnout and keeps your energy flowing. ✨ Action Step: Block out at least one content-free day per week in your calendar. Use this time to rest, reflect, or simply engage without producing. (03:50) Embrace Automation and Batching You don't need to be in content creation mode every day. Use tools like Meta Business Suite, Buffer, or Later to pre-schedule posts. Batching your content creation helps you focus deeply and frees up your weekly bandwidth. ✨ Action Step: Choose one content type this week (social posts, emails, etc.) and batch it out for the next few weeks. Schedule it using your tool of choice. (04:30) Don't Be Afraid to Outsource You don't need to do it all alone. Even hiring a virtual assistant for just 2 hours a week can free you from time-consuming tasks like scheduling, designing, or editing. ✨ Action Step: Identify one task that drains your time and energy. Consider delegating it—even in a small way—to start reclaiming your time. (05:00) Shift Your Mindset About Content Creation Stop viewing content as a daily to-do. Instead, see it as a long-term business asset that can be flexible. Two well-placed, impactful posts can drive more engagement than five rushed ones. ✨ Action Step: Give yourself permission to do less. Test a reduced content load and observe the results. Burnout-proof content strategies are not just about what you post but how and why you do it. Sustainable consistency is the key to showing up for your audience while also showing up for yourself. You can grow your brand without draining your energy—and that's exactly what we're committed to helping you do here.
How do you build genuine trust when AI-driven automation floods our lives? In this engaging episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, I sit down with Ashley Faus, author of "Human Centred Marketing: How to Connect with Audiences in the Age of AI", to explore the irreplaceable role of authentic human connection in today's tech-heavy marketing landscape. Ashley argues that while AI can streamline content creation and amplify messaging, the core elements of trust—authenticity, empathy, and credibility—can only be forged through real human interactions. We discuss practical ways marketers can move beyond outdated funnel approaches, introducing Ashley's innovative "Content Playground" framework, designed to engage audiences dynamically rather than forcing them down a rigid path. Ashley also shares insights on her "Four Pillars of Thought Leadership," providing a clear structure for developing credible, authentic voices that stand out even in a crowded digital space. Highlighting real-world examples, Ashley demonstrates how AI often falls short in understanding nuanced human preferences and emotions, reinforcing the need for marketers to maintain strong, direct relationships with their audiences. Ultimately, she makes a compelling case for why embracing our human quirks and personal authenticity is essential for lasting audience connection in the AI era. Three Key Takeaways: • Human Connection is Irreplaceable: Despite the efficiencies AI can offer, true marketing success hinges on authentic human connection and trust—something automation simply cannot replicate. • Shift from Funnels to Playgrounds: Marketers should move away from rigid funnel-based approaches and instead adopt dynamic, audience-centric strategies, like Ashley's "Content Playground," which encourages organic exploration and engagement. • Authenticity Drives Thought Leadership: Building credibility in thought leadership requires authenticity and empathy, grounded firmly in genuine interactions and consistent personal voice, elements AI struggles to mimic convincingly. If you enjoyed Ashley's insights on human-centered marketing and building authentic trust in the age of AI, I highly recommend checking out Peter Winick's conversation with Bill Bice in Episode 157. Bill offers valuable perspectives on how data-driven content marketing and analytics can illuminate the customer journey, reinforcing Ashley's points on authenticity and meaningful audience connection. Together, these episodes provide a comprehensive view of modern marketing, blending human empathy with smart, strategic insights. Give it a listen!

What if your next client already feels like they know you—before you've ever spoken a word? This week on Leveraging Thought Leadership, Peter talks with Jim Schleckser, founder of The CEO Project, a peer advisory group for high-performing CEOs. Jim shares insights from advising over 125 CEOs across 40 states, leading organizations with revenues from $25 million to over $2 billion. His unique perspective offers a window into how top leaders are using thought leadership as both consumers and creators. We dig into why CEOs crave curated content that helps them grow—and why books and podcasts still dominate their learning habits. Jim explains how the right idea, delivered through the right channel, can build trust and drive decisions long before the first handshake. We explore how CEOs and their teams are becoming more intentional about content creation—not for vanity metrics, but to attract the right clients, partners, and talent. Jim also unpacks the shifting role of AI in content development. As more companies turn to AI for marketing output, he challenges us to think deeper: What's your human layer of insight that the algorithms can't replicate? This episode is packed with practical takeaways for CEOs, content creators, and thought leaders who want to build meaningful influence, not just volume. Three Key Takeaways: • Quality Over Quantity in Thought Leadership CEOs aren't looking for mass appeal—they want relevant insights from trusted sources. Thought leadership that resonates with a niche but high-value audience can drive business results far more effectively than chasing viral reach. • Books and Podcasts Still Matter Despite the flood of digital content, CEOs continue to prioritize books and podcasts as their go-to learning tools. These formats allow for deeper engagement and often serve as catalysts for future business relationships. • AI Is a Tool, Not a Strategy While AI can assist in generating content, it can't replace the value of human insight. Leaders must use AI thoughtfully—adding expertise and perspective—to ensure their thought leadership remains authentic and impactful. If you found Jim Schleckser's insights on high-impact, CEO-focused thought leadership valuable, you'll want to check out Episode 498 with Will Milano. Will shares how organizations can turn their senior leaders and subject-matter experts into trusted voices of authority—without relying solely on the CEO. Together, these episodes explore how to scale thought leadership, deepen trust, and focus on quality over quantity. Don't miss it!

Reviving vinyl in the digital age sounded impossible until the creation of Record Store Day changed everything.Launched with Metallica at a San Francisco record shop in 2008, it became a global celebration of indie music culture and a blueprint for building real human connections. In this episode, we drop the needle on what marketers can learn from vinyl's resurgence with special guest Robert McCauley, Sr. Director of Content Marketing at Upwork.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from community-driven events, the power of exclusivity, and how to build content strategies that truly resonate.About our guest, Robert McCauleyRobert has 20+ years of experience in content marketing, editorial, and communications. At Upwork, he leads a team of more than two dozen amazing content marketers, customer marketers, and multimedia professionals. (In fact, you can find out more about how awesome they are by checking out this link: https://bit.ly/3PGXNcD.) Robert lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and their high-octane fourth-grader. Ask him about his vinyl collection if you're looking to waste an hour or two.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Record Store Day:Sell the experience, not just the product. Exclusivity and differentiation aren't just nice-to-haves; they're why people line up on Record Store Day. As Robert puts it, “Part of the reason that someone is gonna pay $40 for something that they could, in theory, get for free is because the artists and record labels have done a nice job of selling the exclusivity and the differentiation. And, frankly, understanding their audience.” In B2B marketing, it's a reminder that when you make your audience feel like they're getting something rare and tailored, they'll lean in.Community turns customers into believers. Record Store Day isn't really about what you buy, it's about who you're with. Robert says, “This is where the power of community really comes in. It feels like a celebration of music. It feels like a celebration of vinyl... it feels like an event, a way to connect with people that are passionate about something like you are.” That emotional connection is the secret ingredient. For marketers, if your audience feels seen and connected, your brand becomes more than a service. It becomes a shared story.Go analog to cut through the noise. In a world of constant digital overload, physical media feels almost radical. Robert explains, “Analog physical media can really make an impact. We're all flooded with digital stuff all day, every day... the thing that cuts through that are physical things because they're so far, few and far between nowadays.” For marketers, this is a cue to think tactile because sometimes, the most unforgettable touchpoint isn't a notification, it's something your audience can actually hold.Quotes*“ When done right and in a very strategic way, analog physical media can really make an impact, right? We're all flooded with digital stuff all day, every day. There's the whole joke of you going from kind of your midsize screen to your small screen, to your big screen over the course of the day. And the thing that cuts through that are physical things because they're sort of so far few and far between nowadays.”*“ Record Store Day at the end of the day is really an awesome in-person event. And in-person events, I think, in general, can be really effective for marketers. And again, when they're well thought out and done well. One of the great things about this is that, again, it's about community. It's about doing something that people appreciate and like. It's about feeling very kind of personalized to the things that they're passionate about. And, I think again, it just reinforces the fact that there are great ways of connecting with your customers much more directly and, of course, physically than over email or something. And they have a much stronger impact when you are face to face with someone and they remember your name, or you have a conversation, or you enjoy the coffee, or the excitement in the atmosphere that the event brought you. So I think it's the way that these are run are a good example of how in-person events can and should be run and can really make a difference to marketing efforts.”“ We always, as content marketers and B2B marketers, I think, worry that we have one opportunity to kind of hook our audience. If we don't do it now, if we don't get everything we need, this is gonna pass us by. There's this trust of, ‘Hey, I am confident that over time I'm gonna show you the value of my content in this case, my music, and I'm gonna get hooked.' And that will be rewarded down the line. It's definitely a long-term play, but it is very counter to, I think, a lot of our instincts of squeeze as much as we can as quickly as we can.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Robert McCauley, Sr. Director, Content Marketing at Upwork[01:26] Why Record Store Day?[03:21] Origins of Record Store Day[10:26] The Draw of Vinyl[16:51] Robert's First Record Store Day[20:15] Value of Physical Music in a Digital Age[28:58] B2B Marketing Lessons from Record Store Day[47:43] Upwork's Content Strategy[51:41] Upwork's Recent Content Creation[55:21] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Robert on LinkedInLearn more about UpworkAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Welcome back to the Empower Her Business Accelerator podcast! I'm your host, Phillipa Channer, and this week we're continuing our May series all about content frequency. If you've ever felt torn between showing up consistently and producing content that truly resonates, you're not alone. Today's episode dives into one of the most common struggles entrepreneurs face: finding the balance between content consistency and quality. Because the truth is—being everywhere all the time isn't effective if what you're sharing isn't connecting with your audience. This episode is all about helping you create a content rhythm that is sustainable, strategic, and aligned with your energy. Let's break down five key strategies that will help you stay visible and valuable—without burning out. (01:00) Why Balance Matters in Content Strategy Showing up regularly builds trust—but only if the content is actually helpful. When quantity outweighs quality, engagement drops. ✨ Action Step: Audit your last five content pieces. Were they impactful or rushed? Adjust your schedule to reflect what truly delivers value. (02:00) Strategy 1: Prioritize Quality Over Quantity You don't need to post daily to stay relevant. Thoughtful, high-impact posts win every time. ✨ Action Step: Reduce posting frequency if needed. Focus on 2–3 well-researched posts per week instead of daily filler. (02:45) Strategy 2: Set a Realistic Posting Schedule Burnout helps no one. Your schedule should work with your capacity, not against it. ✨ Action Step: Choose one main content format and set a posting frequency you can maintain for the next 90 days—without stress. (03:30) Strategy 3: Repurpose Content Across Platforms You don't need to reinvent the wheel. One piece of content can serve many purposes. ✨ Action Step: Take your best-performing post and repurpose it into at least three new formats: carousel, article, video, etc. (04:15) Strategy 4: Batch Create to Stay Ahead Batching saves time, protects your energy, and keeps you ahead of schedule. ✨ Action Step: Set aside one full day this month to batch at least three content pieces. You'll thank yourself later! (05:00) Strategy 5: Set Boundaries and Automate You can't (and shouldn't) do everything. Systems are your friend. ✨ Action Step: Automate one repetitive task this week—like scheduling social posts or building an email sequence. Final Thoughts Balancing consistency and quality isn't about perfection—it's about finding a rhythm that supports your goals and your well-being. When you prioritize value, streamline your process, and set clear boundaries, your content becomes more effective and less exhausting. Thanks for joining me today! Next week, we'll continue this series in Episode 180 by exploring how to avoid burnout while maintaining consistency. If you've been feeling stretched thin, you won't want to miss it. And remember—the Empower Her Program is here to support you with tools, coaching, and strategy tailored to your pace and goals. Whether you want a DIY digital version or 1:1 coaching, there's something just for you. Until next time, keep shining—and let your content work for you, not against you.

Have you ever wondered why some nonprofits make a huge impact while others struggle to grow? The difference isn't always their mission—it's their ability to fundraise and scale effectively. James Misner, founder of the Kipos Group, joins us today to reveal why bigger doesn't always mean better in the nonprofit sector. James spent 25 years witnessing smaller nonprofits achieve incredible results—only to remain largely invisible due to weak fundraising skills. We dive into the critical business skills most nonprofit founders lack, from building fundraising teams to understanding marketing ROI. James explains how he helps these leaders think differently, equipping them with essential tools to fundraise confidently and sustainably. James also shares powerful insights on thought leadership strategy. Instead of chasing large, vague markets, he advocates for targeting highly specific audiences. He discusses why giving away your best insights freely creates a pipeline of opportunity, helping more people and generating growth simultaneously. Finally, we explore the challenge of perfectionism in thought leadership content. James encourages leaders to overcome their fear of judgment and embrace sharing imperfect but impactful ideas. If your mission matters, James argues, it's time to hit “publish.” Three Key Takeaways: • Smaller nonprofits can achieve massive impact if they master fundraising and marketing skills typically seen in larger organizations. • Focusing your thought leadership on a narrowly defined audience can drive stronger engagement and better outcomes than chasing broad markets. • Overcoming perfectionism and generously sharing valuable insights can create trust, generate opportunities, and significantly accelerate your organization's growth. If you found value in James Misner's insights on equipping nonprofits with the tools to scale through thought leadership and targeted fundraising, you won't want to miss our conversation with Stu Manewith in the episode "Thought Leadership Advocacy for Nonprofits". Stu dives into how nonprofit leaders can leverage their voices to advocate for their mission, build trust with donors, and create lasting impact. Together, these episodes offer a powerful playbook for nonprofit professionals looking to pair strategic thinking with storytelling to drive real change. Listen to both and discover how to amplify your organization's influence from the inside out.
Send us a textIn this thought-provoking episode of the Near Memo podcast, SEO veteran Cindy Krum joins Greg Sterling and Mike Blumenthal to unpack how Google's evolving use of AI, including MUM (Multitask Unified Model), is reshaping the search landscape. Krum explains how Google is moving from keyword- and entity-based indexing to modeling “journeys” that reflect a user's intent — aligning with Google's long-abandoned concept of “micro-moments” like “I want to know,” “I want to go,” “I want to do,” and “I want to buy.” These journeys are increasingly being monetized across different verticals such as YouTube, Merchant Center, and local results, as Google balances expensive AI integration with ad revenue optimization.The trio also explores the convergence of Google Discover, AI Overviews, and personalized browsing experiences — warning that this personalization could result in unprecedented data tracking and loss of consumer privacy. Krum emphasizes that marketers and SEOs must adapt quickly: diversify traffic sources, optimize across social and non-Google platforms, and consider how Google's motivations (data consolidation and monetization) are shaping an experience that prioritizes corporate interests over user needs. The message is clear — traditional SEO tactics won't survive the AI-driven tide unless they evolve dramatically.TakeawaysCindy Krum discusses the MUM model and its impact on SEO.Google's monetization strategies are evolving with AI integration.Personalization in search is becoming increasingly important.Marketers need to optimize for user intent and MUM journeys.Informational queries represent a significant portion of search traffic.Diversifying traffic sources is crucial for digital marketers.Branding and social media presence are essential for visibility.The search landscape is changing rapidly due to AI advancements.Marketers should be proactive in adapting to these changes.Understanding user journeys will be key to future SEO strategies.Subscribe to our newsletters and other content at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

Welcome back to the Empower Her Business Accelerator podcast! I'm your host, Philippa Channer, and we're launching our May series with a topic that so many entrepreneurs wrestle with: How often should I really be posting content? Whether you've been told to post every day or you're stuck in a cycle of burnout trying to keep up, this episode will help you shift from “what the algorithm wants” to a frequency that truly works for you. This week's focus is on creating a sustainable posting frequency—one that supports your business model, aligns with your goals, and gives your audience consistent value without exhausting you. Because showing up online shouldn't cost you your peace. We're digging into the practical, flexible steps you can take to find your rhythm and make your content strategy feel like a natural extension of your business—not a burden. Let's walk through the key steps I shared in the episode for designing a posting frequency that fuels growth (without the burnout): (01:00) Why “Consistency” Doesn't Mean Daily We've been told that consistency = success, but consistency should mean what you can sustain—not what a social media guru tells you. ✨ Action Step: Reframe your mindset around consistency. Ask yourself what feels doable and valuable, not just frequent. (02:00) Step 1: Match Frequency to Your Business Model An influencer and a consultant don't need the same content schedule. Know what level of visibility your business requires and tailor accordingly. ✨ Action Step: Identify your business model and what type of engagement is most valuable—awareness, conversion, or deep connection? (02:40) Step 2: Focus on Quality Over Quantity A single valuable post often outperforms five generic ones. It's about impact, not volume. ✨ Action Step: Review your content from the past month. What performed best—short bursts or deeper, high-value pieces? (03:30) Step 3: Test and Track Different Frequencies Experimentation is your friend. If posting less yields the same or better results, you've found your sweet spot. ✨ Action Step: Pick a 30-day period and test 2–3 different schedules. Track engagement, traffic, and ease of creation. (04:10) Step 4: Adapt to Platform Norms Different platforms = different rules. Instagram may love 3–5 posts/week, but your newsletter or blog can thrive with biweekly content. ✨ Action Step: Choose your top 2–3 platforms. Research their ideal frequencies, then adapt based on your available bandwidth. (05:00) Step 5: Stay Flexible and Reevaluate Often Your schedule should evolve with your business. You might post twice a week now, but with help or automation, you could scale that later. ✨ Action Step: Every quarter, ask: Is my current content schedule still serving me? Do I need to scale up—or scale back? As I shared in the episode, there's no universal perfect frequency—only what works for you. The right schedule will evolve as your business does, and finding that rhythm is the key to long-term marketing success without burnout. Next week, we're continuing our May series by exploring how to balance consistency with content quality—an important next step once you've dialed in your ideal posting rhythm. You won't want to miss it! Until then, keep shining, and remember: Consistency is what you can sustain—not what the internet says you should do. ✨ Special Announcements & Links

If you're a blogger, coach, or creator, LinkedIn might seem like the last place you'd go to grow your business. Isn't it just for corporate jobs and stuffy networking? Not anymore. In my latest Blogger Genius Podcast episode, I interviewed LinkedIn expert Louise Brogan, and she opened my eyes: LinkedIn is a hidden goldmine for creators ready to stand out and sell. In this post, I'll break down why LinkedIn is your next big opportunity, how to get started the right way, and how to use tools like MiloTree to build your audience effortlessly.

But Louise shared a surprising truth: ✅ People on LinkedIn have money to spend — and they're looking for new hobbies, services, and products. ✅ Less competition — Only 2% of LinkedIn users post content! ✅ Engaged audiences — These aren't passive scrollers. LinkedIn users are more likely to buy, connect, and hire. If you've been hit hard by Google updates or you're frustrated with Instagram's algorithm, LinkedIn offers a fresh place to be seen and heard — especially if you're creative, independent, or selling digital products. How to Start Growing Your Business on LinkedIn You don't need to reinvent the wheel to succeed on LinkedIn. Here's Louise's simple, powerful strategy: 1. Optimize Your Profile Think of your LinkedIn profile as your storefront. Louise recommends making it immediately clear: Who you help How you help them What action you want them to take next (hint: link to your freebie, blog, or store) Pro Tip: Your profile should focus more on your audience's needs than your own resume. 2. Post Just Twice a Week Unlike Instagram or TikTok where you need to post daily, LinkedIn works best with just 1–2 posts a week. Some ideas: Share quick tips or advice related to your niche. Ask engaging questions that invite comments. Tell short stories that connect to your brand.
