In this episode of Aphantasia Experiments, host Robin takes us on a heartfelt journey through creativity, marketing, and the hidden strengths of living with aphantasia. Although aphantasia means the inability to form mental images, Robin shares how this unique brain wiring has not limited her creativity — it's actually enhanced it. From a career in graphic design and publishing to digital marketing and innovation, she reflects on how storing real-world inspiration and deeply noticing colors, patterns, and ideas has shaped her work in profound ways.Robin also highlights the transformative role Canva plays in her creative process today, especially with powerful new tools like Canva Code and Canva Sheets. For anyone balancing an overflowing river of ideas (hello, ADHD and high-creativity minds!), these features make it easier than ever to bring concepts to life without needing a fully visual imagination.Throughout the conversation, Robin opens up about how working with AI tools like Canva and ChatGPT isn't about replacing creativity — it's about unlocking it, especially for those whose brains work differently. She talks about the emotional side of creativity, the importance of being kind (even to AI!), and how technology can empower individuals who might otherwise feel overlooked by traditional creative paths.Whether you live with aphantasia, ADHD, are bursting with untapped ideas, or are simply curious about new ways to innovate in marketing and design, this episode offers encouragement, inspiration, and actionable insight. Creativity doesn't require a mind's eye — it just requires heart, observation, and the right tools.If you've ever felt like your brain works a little differently — and you wondered if that was a weakness — this episode is your reminder that it might actually be your greatest creative strength.

Jamie Kritharas started as a DJ and producer touring with the world's leading artists such as  Tiesto, Martin Garrix, Calvin Harris, Diplo and many more. His background in the music industry equipped him with a deep understanding of marketing, creative, and digital promotion.  Jamie created Defiant, an agency that has since revolutionised the marketing landscape in Australia. Under Jamie's leadership, Defiant has propelled over 300 businesses to new heights, made over 100 strategic hires, and generated hundreds of millions in revenue by managing tens of millions in ad spend.     Key Topics Creativity in Business Growth: Jamie identified a critical gap in the Australian market: the lack of agencies that effectively combine creative and performance marketing.

Selling can feel awkward—especially for creatives who'd rather be making than marketing. If you've ever hesitated to promote your products because you don't want to sound pushy or salesy, this episode is for you! I'm joined by my friend Kari Capone, founder of The Spinning Hand, to talk about the mindset shifts and strategies that make selling feel natural (and even fun!). We get real about the fears that hold people back, why "confidence" is overrated, and how to actually ask for the sale in a way that feels good. Plus, Kari shares how she went from struggling to ask for the sale in her first business to running a thriving handmade business today. If you've ever thought, I don't want to bother people or they'll buy if they want it—I don't need to ask, grab a coffee and join us for this conversation. It might just change how you think about selling.     Timestamps & Key Takeaways   [00:00] – Why Selling Feels Hard (and Why You're Not Alone) Most creatives love making but hate selling. We break down why selling feels so uncomfortable—and why that doesn't mean you're doing it wrong. [06:30] – The Money Stories Holding You Back The way you grew up thinking about money is impacting how you sell—whether you realize it or not. Kari shares how her "squeeze every penny" mindset made selling feel icky (and how she changed it). [15:45] – The Truth About Confidence (Hint: It's Overrated) "You don't wake up confident—you wake up with courage." If you're waiting to feel confident before you sell, you'll be waiting forever. [24:00] – Selling Doesn't Have to Feel Gross Pushy, manipulative selling isn't the only way. Here's how to authentically sell—without feeling like a used car salesman. [35:20] – If You're Only Talking About Your Product Once, You're Losing Sales Most people aren't seeing every post or email you send. Talking about your product repeatedly isn't annoying—it's necessary. [42:10] – Trust Your Customers to Make Their Own Buying Decisions It's easy to assume what people will or won't spend based on our own money mindset, but that's not our decision to make. Our job is simply to share what we offer—our customers will decide if it's right for them. [51:30] – Handling Unsubscribes Like a Pro Every email list loses people—but unsubscribes aren't rejection. Learn why losing subscribers can actually be a good thing. [1:02:00] – How to Start Asking for the Sale (Without Feeling Weird About It) If the thought of asking people to buy makes your stomach turn, this section is for you. We share simple, doable ways to ease into selling with confidence.     Resources Mentioned Some links in this episode may be affiliate links.

In today's episode of Let's Talk Business, host Meny Hoffman sits down with Yoel Judowitz to explore the fascinating journey from illustration to digital marketing success. Starting his career as a children's book illustrator, Yoel's story is one of adaptation and growth, showcasing how creative skills can evolve to meet changing market demands. What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Yoel's unique perspective on transitioning from traditional artistic work to the dynamic world of digital marketing. As the founder of Story Tribe Media, he shares how his background in storytelling and visual arts became invaluable assets in the modern marketing landscape, especially within the Jewish community. The discussion delves deep into the challenges of scaling a creative business, with Yoel candidly sharing his experiences in building and managing a studio team. He offers valuable insights into maintaining creative quality while delegating work, particularly when dealing with cultural nuances specific to the Jewish market. A significant portion of the conversation focuses on the evolution of digital marketing, especially the growing importance of platforms like WhatsApp status in the firm and Jewish communities. Both Hoffman and Judowitz explore how businesses can effectively navigate these new channels while staying true to their brand identity. Whether you're a creative professional looking to expand your horizons, a business owner navigating the digital landscape, or simply interested in the intersection of creativity and business, this episode offers practical insights and actionable strategies for success in today's evolving market.

Learn to delegate tasks and build a team that can sustain your business independently, as illustrated by Yoel's journey from YJ Studios to managing a team for illustration. Consider building a personal brand alongside your company brand to create a more personalized connection. However, ensure alignment with company values to avoid any discrepancies. Utilize the skills you are naturally good at, as a way to build your career initially, like Yoel did with illustration for children's books. Focus on platforms that provide the most benefit for your business, whether it's LinkedIn, Instagram, or WhatsApp status, similar to Yoel's observations about these mediums.

In this episode, Ken sits down with David Vicknair, a partner at Scott Vicknair, LLC David Vicknair specializes in personal injury, maritime injury, property damage, and casualty loss litigation, representing individuals and small businesses with dedication and tenacity. Early in his career, a pivotal case shaped his meticulous approach to preparation and his understanding of Louisiana litigation. He has argued appeals in Louisiana courts and the Federal Fifth Circuit and served as class counsel in major cases like the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. An advocate for community service, David serves on the Board of Volunteers of America. He holds a J.D. from Loyola University New Orleans, earning honors in moot court competitions.    What you'll learn about in this episode:   1.  Why Working On Yourself Accelerates Firm Growth  Emotionally letting go of cases allows focus on growth-driving priorities and firm leadership. Accepting others can excel at law enables effective delegation and firm expansion. 2. Why Creating a Clear Vision Is Critical to Your Law Firms Success By devloping a 1, 3, 5-year plan it helps to align your goals and guides growth.  When setting up your vision it's important to surround yourself with "A" players to ensure high standards and strong results. 3. How Making Timely Decisions Excelerates Your Firms Progress Sitting on decisions and delaying execution hurts your law firm. Taking risks and acting promptly is essential, whether the outcome is right or wrong.  David mentions this impactful quote to drive home this idea, "The right decision three months late is still the wrong decision."  4. How Investing in Strategic Marketing Creates Long Term Revenue  Having a hook to stand out from the competition is essential in a crowded market. David embraced this concept by creating a commercial that showcased his authenticity and humor, centered on the confusion around his law firm's name.  5. Why Lawyers Need To Focus on Internal Growth Instead of External Distractions  Focusing on your own firm ensures attention to areas you can improve and control. Ignoring competitors prevents distractions and enables a stronger, more sustainable growth strategy.  Resources:  http://www.scottvicknair.com/ https://www.facebook.com/scottvicknairlaw/ https://x.com/scottvicklaw?lang=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/david-vicknair-b7454321/   Additional Resources:  https://www.pilmma.org/aiworkshop https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect https://www.pilmma.org/resources https://www.pilmma.org/mastermind

Tune in for a dose of humor, grit, and insight into pushing limits—whether on the trail or in life.

Similarly, economics programs often overlook sales and marketing. ·        Bridging the Gap: The speaker's mission is to educate others on essential skills such as marketing, sales, public speaking, and negotiation to fill the educational void.   The Nature of Persuasion ·        Positive Influence: Persuasion is about positively changing people's minds and encouraging them to choose your offering over others. ·        Authenticity in Sales: Salespeople must genuinely believe in their products and show authenticity to build trust with clients.   Target Audience ·        Focus on understanding and targeting the audience that genuinely needs your product to maximize effectiveness in persuasion.   Sales Team Management ·        Hiring individuals who love sales and understand the product is crucial for an effective sales team. Salespeople should believe in the product they are selling for authenticity and effectiveness. ·        Encourage your sales team to improve their skills and knowledge. This can lead to better engagement with potential clients.   Do's and Don'ts of Persuasion ·        Do Sell the Problem: Highlight the problem first; the bigger the problem, the more value clients place on the solution. ·        Don't Focus on Subjectivity: Avoid claiming that your product is great without evidence; instead, use social proof and objective evidence to support your claims. ·        Authenticity Over Perfection: Avoid branding yourself as a flawless expert. Instead, relate to your audience by sharing both successes and failures. This builds trust and makes you more relatable.   Long-term Relationships ·        Sales should be based on mutual benefit and understanding, aiming for long-term client relationships rather than short-term gains.   Storytelling as a Tool ·        Use stories to convey your message and include social proof within them. Stories engage the audience's emotions and can be more persuasive than just stating facts.       About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault. The vault is packed full of free gifts from sales leaders, sales experts, marketing gurus and revenue generation experts.  Download your free gift, 81 Tools to Grow Your Sales & Your Business Faster, More Easily & More Profitably.
