Podcasts about keynote speakers

This weekend Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away kicked off its inaugural run with two nights of dress rehearsals and an opening on Sunday. This new parade, long awaited and hoped for by Walt Disney World fans is simply magical. It's not perfect, but it's simply beautiful and is what has been needed for so long since its ancestors, The Main Street Electrical Parade and SpectroMagic had long parted. We visit this parade and talk all the details of what makes it work--and at times, not so perfectly work. It's a must-see event at Walt Disney World and a welcome tradition for years to come. And my belief is, that it will only get better over time. So join us as we review Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away!   ____________________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!

Scaling franchise growth in today's competitive and tech-driven economy is no small feat. If you're a brand looking to expand nationally or internationally, how do you structure your business to support sustainable growth without sacrificing brand consistency or operational quality? That's exactly the kind of question this week's episode of Fordify LIVE! The Business Growth Show sets out to tackle. This episode dives deep into the world of franchise development with Troy Hooper, CEO of Hot Palette America and one of the driving forces behind Pepper Lunch's rapid expansion throughout North America. With over three decades of experience in hospitality and restaurant operations, Troy has helped revitalize legacy brands, roll out high-performing new concepts, and build franchise systems that are not only scalable but also rooted in operational excellence. His leadership is responsible for adding over 85 new units to the Pepper Lunch pipeline in just a few short years—all while ensuring franchisees are set up for long-term success. Troy joins host Ford Saeks for a timely, high-impact discussion on what it really takes to build and scale a brand that performs in any market. They explore what brand leaders need to consider before pursuing franchise growth and why creating a strong infrastructure behind the scenes is just as critical as selecting the right franchisees. From building effective systems and processes to working with vendors and suppliers in a way that supports aggressive expansion, Troy pulls back the curtain on the realities of modern franchise leadership. If your goal is scaling franchise growth without losing the DNA that makes your brand special, this episode brings fresh insight from the trenches of the restaurant and hospitality world. The conversation also touches on what makes a franchise model work—and more importantly, what can cause it to stall out. With candid stories and sharp business strategy, Troy shares how his team built a system that works not just for today's market but for the evolving consumer and tech landscape ahead. And while the episode centers on the restaurant industry, the strategies discussed are applicable to any brand serious about building something that lasts. Throughout the episode, Troy emphasizes the importance of leading with empathy, clarity, and a commitment to operational rigor. Whether you're working with a team of ten or managing hundreds of units across continents, the principles behind scaling franchise growth remain consistent: strong leadership, proven systems, strategic partnerships, and a mindset focused on constant improvement. Ford and Troy explore how businesses can prepare internally to support external expansion—and why the readiness of your infrastructure can make or break your ability to grow effectively. The episode also highlights how technology, including AI and automation, plays a growing role in franchise operations. From improving guest experience to scaling brand messaging at a local level, Troy shares how his team has adopted AI tools to stay ahead of the curve while still delivering on the core promise of hospitality. This conversation is a must for entrepreneurs, franchisors, and executives thinking about growth beyond their current footprint. It offers thought-provoking ideas and a refreshing look at what's possible when you combine experience with innovation, and vision with execution. Don't miss this impactful episode featuring Troy Hooper. The strategies discussed will shift the way you think about building your brand and give you a broader lens for what's possible in today's marketplace. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the pleasure of speaking with Katie Keller Wood, Montessori educator, TEDx speaker, and author of the upcoming book Alignment: A Montessori Approach to Reimagining Work-Life Balance. We challenge the myth of work-life balance and instead explore the powerful metaphor of a life mosaic—how different aspects of our life can align without rigid separation. Katie shares how purpose-driven work, often viewed with guilt or skepticism, can actually be a vital source of personal meaning and fulfillment. She draws from Montessori principles in order to emphasize the importance of not losing oneself in their meaningful work, but instead cultivate awareness, alignment, and joy in all areas of life. This episode is for anyone wanting to do their purpose work and create a meaningful life without burning out.   Dr. Katie Keller Wood grew up in the world of education, and delights in helping people find new ways of thinking about the world. Discovering Montessori education, both as a pedagogy and a philosophy, was pivotal for her, and she is on a mission to bring a Montessori perspective of work to everyone.    Katie has had the great honor of working with hundreds of middle and high school Montessori teachers from all over the world through the training program she runs, called CMStep. She is recognized as a leader in Montessori programming for adolescents and adults. Any given semester might find Katie teaching undergraduates at the University of Virginia, where she earned both her bachelor's and her doctorate degrees, master's students at Xavier University, or doctoral students at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. She is active in the Montessori research and teacher education communities.    Katie does her work because she believes that a more peaceful, just, equitable, and sustainable world is possible, and that it takes all of us leading our aligned lives to bring this world forward. Katie lives in Richmond, Virginia, and is a TEDx and keynote speaker and a sought-after presenter for workshops and conferences. Alignment: A Montessori Approach to Reimagining Work-Life Balance is her first book.     Guest's Contact – Linedin Website Book Contact Jeffrey – JeffreyShaw.com Books by Jeffrey Shaw Business Coaching for Entrepreneurs Watch my TEDx LincolnSquare video and please share!

When the flood came, the warnings didn't. In this episode, a deadly cascade of communication breakdowns and the consequences of delay. At least 129 people are dead, with dozens still missing, after historic flash flooding swept through central Texas. The timeline reveals a gap between federal alerts and local action. Lives were lost in those hours.We examine what went wrong, why the local warning system never materialized despite years of requests, and how messaging from state and national leaders continues to fail the public in real-time. From delayed sirens to political deflections, this is a story about infrastructure, accountability, and the high cost of silence.Plus: the Camp Mystic aftermath, FEMA's delayed deployment, the governor's football analogy, and the backlash to a viral video that reframed the tragedy through race and privilege.The floodwaters receded. The questions haven't.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

In this episode of Notable Leaders' Radio, I sit down with Andy Crocker, author of The Unconditionals, to explore how five core values, unconditional love, gratitude, integrity, accountability, and endeavor, can transform how we face challenges and build resilience. Andy shares powerful insights and real-life stories that reveal how grounding yourself in these values can help you recover from failure faster, pivot with purpose, and live a life defined by meaning, not perfection. In this episode, you'll learn how to: See failure as a launchpad, not a dead end. When you stop viewing setbacks as defeat, you recover faster and grow wiser, equipped to seize new opportunities with greater clarity and courage. Define success on your own terms. Ditch the societal checklist. Pursuing fulfillment, not perfection, leads to greater joy, authenticity, and personal achievement. Pivot with purpose when life shifts. Unexpected turns are inevitable. A values-based mindset empowers you to adjust course with intention and rediscover meaning, even in the midst of change. Embrace imperfection as a path to progress. Mastery isn't about getting it right the first time—it's about learning, evolving, and moving forward without fear of failure.

"Third time's the charm" is a saying that suggests perhaps the third attempt will be more successful than the two prior failures. By no means has the past two versions of Test Track been failures. But it seems like this is a huge opportunity to learn from the previous experiences and truly come up with something that could be loved for years to come. We chart out not only all three, but also talk about its forefather, The World of Motion. On our journey I pick up my friend and colleague Nick Grande, to talk about our experience testing Test Track, where it works, where it doesn't and where it retreads. Great news! There is much to love about this new version. And while we've seen people either completely love or hate it, we'll give you a complete sense of how you can get both responses. Join us for Test Track 3.0. Is the third time the charm? ____________________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!

Höre von zwei Meistern ihres Faches, wie sie es schaffen, über Partei- und Denkgrenzen hinweg Menschen hinter einer Vision zu einen. *** Wiederholung einer der erfolgreichsten Folgen in der Sommerpause - super passend zu aktuellen politischen Fragen. *** Bertram Fleck sorgte dafür, dass der Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis Deutschlands erster klimaneutraler Landkreis wurde. Nebenbei entstand ein kleines Wirtschaftswunder für die strukturschwache Region, bei dem über eine Milliarde Euro vor Ort gebunden wurde. Im Gespräch erklärt er die enorme Wirtschaftlichkeit seiner nachhaltigen Energiestrategie und die entscheidende Taktik aus Pragmatismus, Kollaboration und auch einer Portion Schlitzohrigkeit. Zudem erklärt Heinrich Strößenreuther - zur Zeit der Aufnahme CDU Mitglied, Gründer der KlimaUnion und einer der erfolgreichsten Campaigner in Deutschland - was es braucht, um Menschen für die Investition in Nachhaltigkeit und Erneuerbare zu gewinnen. Und warum sich für Gemeinden und Unternehmen durch Energieeffizienz, Windkraft und Solarenergie eine einmalige Chance bietet, sofern sie schnell genug agieren und das Feld nicht anderen überlassen. Eine grandiose Folge für alle Menschen, die in ihrem Unternehmen mit knappen Ressourcen und angesichts großer Skepsis Klimaziele vorantreiben. Nach dieser Folge hast Du jede Menge Anregungen für Deine Arbeit Nachhaltigkeitsmanager*in. Über Bertram Fleck: Bertram war von 1998 bis 2014 Landrat im Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis und hat dafür gesorgt, dass die Gemeinden vor Ort eine beispiellose Energiestrategie umgesetzt haben. Über Heinrich Strößenreuther: Ist vermutlich einer der erfolgreichsten Klima-Campaigner in Deutschland. Er hat den Volksentscheid hinter Deutschlands erstem Radgesetz auf die Beine gestellt, ist Mitgründer von German Zero und Mitgründer der KlimaUnion. Vorher war er lange im oberen Management der Deutsche Bahn für Umweltthemen zuständig. Mittlerweile ist Heinrich als Mitglied von der CDU zu den Grünen gewechselt. Zu Zeit der Aufnahme waren Bertram und Heinrich gemeinsam auf Tour in Ostdeutschland zum Thema Energie- und Klimapolitik: https://clevere-staedte.de/projekt/Osttour

 The Power of Rapport: Why It Matters in Business Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.  Why do we care that we have rapport? Why do we care that we have influence? Well, first off, we need rapport because we need to build a relationship. I'm going to ask you a couple of questions in a moment, but we need to build a relationship with other people. And there are only three styles out there. You're one of them. There are two others. And for our purposes, you are basically wired like one-third of the population when it comes to your communication style. You don't have to do any work. You connect with them very easily. They, wow, that person is really cool. I get on very easily with them.  It's the other two thirds that we have to work on. So you have to know your style so you can understand others' styles so you can adapt. And that's what today's about. It's about situational communication, situational leadership. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.  

Aging in place is quickly becoming one of the most pressing issues for families, healthcare providers, and communities across the country. As the population ages and more seniors choose to stay in their homes longer, the question isn't just how to support them medically—but how to ensure their living environments are safe, functional, and consistently maintained. For forward-thinking entrepreneurs and franchise leaders, this shift presents a unique opportunity to serve a growing market with lasting impact. Sean Fitzgerald, President of TruBlue Home Service Ally, brings over three decades of experience in franchising to one of the most timely and purpose-driven concepts in the space today. With a professional background that spans leading brands like BrightStar Senior Care, Wireless Zone, and FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers, Fitzgerald has consistently focused on scalable models that combine strong unit economics with meaningful community contributions. His leadership at TruBlue reflects that same commitment, channeling his expertise into a franchise system that addresses the overlooked but critical needs of the aging in place movement. TruBlue offers a franchise opportunity that stands out in the home services category by bridging the gap between traditional handyman services and senior care. While many brands focus on medical support, TruBlue is solving the other half of the aging in place equation: the home itself. Through scheduled maintenance, home modifications, and an emphasis on fall prevention, the company supports seniors in remaining independent for longer—while also appealing to busy homeowners who need trusted, high-quality home care without the risks of hiring unvetted contractors. What sets the model apart is its emphasis on proactive service. Rather than waiting for problems to arise, TruBlue franchisees provide ongoing maintenance solutions that prevent issues before they become costly or dangerous. The brand's unique subscription-based service helps build lasting client relationships, reinforcing trust and reliability over time. This level of care not only supports aging in place goals, it positions the franchise as an essential partner for families navigating the challenges of senior living. The franchise's growth has not come without obstacles. Awareness remains a significant hurdle, with many people unaware that services like TruBlue's even exist. Seniors, in particular, are unlikely to initiate service calls, often due to pride or lack of awareness, making referral networks essential to the brand's success. Fitzgerald emphasizes that partnerships with local medical professionals, senior care providers, and community organizations are key to market penetration. When referral sources understand the value TruBlue offers, the response is almost always the same: “Where have you been?” That resonance with referral partners is just one part of what's fueling TruBlue's expansion. The business has also tapped into the broader homeownership market, where busy professionals and growing families are seeking a trusted partner to help manage routine home maintenance. From gutter cleaning and lightbulb changes to seasonal repairs and safety assessments, TruBlue's offerings simplify the homeowner experience. And with rising concerns over unlicensed contractors, customers are eager for a vetted, insured, and professional alternative. Fitzgerald credits much of the brand's momentum to the franchisees themselves, encouraging each owner to become a trusted authority in their local community. Visibility is critical—whether that's through speaking at senior centers, building relationships with realtors, or appearing on local news segments during fall prevention awareness campaigns. The mission is clear: establish the brand as a reliable ally in home safety and support the vision of aging in place with dignity and confidence. TruBlue's rise reflects a larger trend in franchising, where brands rooted in purpose and driven by authentic connection are outperforming those chasing short-term gains. As aging in place continues to gain traction nationally, the demand for services that align with this lifestyle will only increase. For those exploring new franchise opportunities, TruBlue presents a compelling blend of recurring revenue, real community impact, and alignment with long-term demographic shifts. Aging in place is more than a healthcare challenge—it's a business opportunity grounded in service, trust, and proactive care. TruBlue Home Service Ally is redefining what it means to grow a franchise brand with purpose, and for entrepreneurs who want to build something that matters, this model offers a blueprint worth watching.

About Sean Fitzgerald Sean Fitzgerald is the President of TruBlue Home Service Ally and a seasoned leader in the franchising industry with over 30 years of experience. His career began with launching and franchising his own business while still in college, setting the foundation for a lifelong focus on brand growth and development. Throughout his career, he has held key executive roles at top franchise organizations, including BrightStar Senior Care, Wireless Zone | Verizon Wireless, and FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers. Sean also served as Chief Development Strategist for one of the largest PR and digital marketing agencies in franchising, advising national brands on their expansion and marketing strategies. Since taking the helm at TruBlue in 2020, Sean has led the company through rapid growth, establishing it as the only national franchise focused on total home care for seniors. With a unique model built around aging in place, TruBlue offers a proactive, subscription-based approach to home maintenance, fall prevention, and safety for seniors and busy homeowners alike. Sean's leadership reflects his deep passion for purpose-driven business models that deliver value to both franchisees and the communities they serve.

Our world becomes increasingly hectic and less and less private: Web crawlers and chatbots trawl our lives, our likes, our on-line purchases, our weaknesses, and our politics. One of Judaism's great gifts to the world is hitbodadut, mindful seclusion, being alone with who you are, conversing with your soul and being in touch with yourself. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life podcast, I had the great pleasure of speaking with learning scientist, curriculum expert, and the “Workshop Whisperer”, Julia Phelan. In this episode we explore how well-intended coaches, consultants, and course creators can unknowingly do harm when they don't understand how people actually learn. Julia shares insights into why oversimplified advice discourages learners and how to design effective experiences for people at all levels. We also dig into the myth of learning styles, the difference between good content and good delivery, and what it really means to create learning experiences that empower rather than overwhelm. Whether someone is leading a team, creating a course, or crafting a keynote, this conversation will help anyone build with purpose and make a lasting impact—without ever losing sight of your learner. Julia is the co-founder of To Eleven an innovative education consultancy firm specialized in using evidence-based principles and approaches to develop, evaluate, and improve learning experiences. Julia and Ellen co-founded To Eleven to utilize knowledge of how learning works to shape the design and development of meaningful and engaging learning experiences for learners of all ages. Julia has a Ph.D in Education from UCLA and spent much of her career as a research and learning scientist at UCLA as well as consulting and advising for school districts, philanthropic organizations, academic publishing, ed tech, corporate training, and government agencies.

Steve and I talk about a recent experience where I was  activated by something in the media. A majorly messed up story that stirred old wounds and brought up big emotion.It wasn't easy. I felt tender, raw, and flat. And it would've been so easy for Steve to pull away or take it personally but instead he stayed close, even when it wasn't comfortable. He loved me through it by holding space for me to be exactly where I was.We speak openly about what that looked like for both of us and how being in different headspaces doesn't have to mean disconnection, if we're willing to communicate from truth and not reactivity.I also share how I told my family: “I'm not okay right now, but I will be. This isn't about you. I'm just in something.” Because I've learned that shutting down or punishing the people I love because I'm in pain only adds more layers to work through.And Steve reflects on how much that honest communication helped him stay connected to me, instead of trying to guess what was wrong or getting defensive. We talk about how far we've come from those reactive “What's up your ass?” kind of moments and how we now use well-framed conversations to navigate tough emotional terrain with love and respect.If you're in a relationship or in a family where one person's heaviness can easily pull the whole ship off course, this episode is for you.It's about holding space, taking responsibility and learning how to stay connected even when you're not in the same headspace.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USAJoin Authentic The Program - registrations open nowCoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowFree Wheel of Life Assessment - take the test nowWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

Motivational Quote by Dr. Gigi Sabbat; Motivational Keynote Speaker   https://www.lifeservicecenterofamericallc.com/

There's a version of me I'm laying to rest - the one who chased significance, importance, and recognition because deep down, she didn't feel like she was enough without it.She worked hard to prove she mattered. She strived for impact, for relevance, for acknowledgment. And sure, she did some incredible things… but it often came from a place of needing to feel like someone, instead of already knowing that she is.In this episode, I speak honestly about what it's been like to let go of that version of me - to stop feeding the identity that's addicted to doing more to feel more worthy - and to allow in a simpler, more grounded life. One with substance over sparkle. Where the way I do life - how I love, how I care, how I be is more important than what I do.This isn't about playing small. It's about coming home.To a life that's real.To a self that's already enough.If you've felt the tug to stop proving and start living more honestly… this one's for you.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USAJoin Authentic The Program - registrations open nowCoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowFree Wheel of Life Assessment - take the test nowWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Emily Paul, a member of my High Achievers year-long coaching group. We explored the concept of alchemy—what it really means and why it's essential for entrepreneurs. Emily shares how she helps high-achieving individuals dissolve old patterns, tap into deeper intuition, and reconnect with their authentic selves through the transformative power of alchemy. She also explains how her work goes beyond traditional coaching, why energy healing can be just as powerful remotely, and why now is the time for changemakers to fully embrace their brilliance. This episode is for anyone ready to begin their journey to true freedom and step into who they were meant to be. Rather than letting health challenges, diagnosis, and perceived expectations from others define who she is, from an early age Emily committed to blazing her own path including:   ● Completing her senior year of high school in the Iowa town where she lived while her parents and two younger siblings moved a seven hour drive north... ● Declining a teaching career in her early twenties to instead follow her heart and passion and move to an island in the Caribbean to pursue a path of humanitarian service... ● Realizing why she'd been dying her hair for a decade did not reflect her true self, she chose to gray naturally at age 35.   Emily revels in the sacred space beyond what we've experienced or been led to believe is our truth… The potency of Emily's work lies in decades of her own dedicated self-cultivation and the mastery with which she walks clients through their own internal maze to access latent energy and wisdom. Daoist-infused Alchemy is one means she uses to ignite profound and lasting transformation. Customized integrative coaching/mentoring, ceremony and group facilitation are further means she engages to invoke newfound freedom for her clients. With a Master's of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Bastyr University and a Women and Gender Studies -BA- from Macalester College, Emily has sought out teachers, mentors, and healers - both within the United States and internationally - who have guided her exploration of meditation, mindfulness- based practices, coaching/mentoring, leadership development, somatic acuity, energetic healing, and perennial wisdom for well over twenty-five years. All Services and Programs are geared toward personal transformation and cultivating calm confidence in order to show up in an unprecedented way AND find fun in playing a bigger game with life.

Tyler Perry is facing a $260 million sexual harassment lawsuit from actor Derek Dixon—and his legal team wasted no time calling it a “scam” and “shakedown.” That move may work in court. It won't hold up in the court of public opinion.In this episode, I break down:How aggressive legal statements create reputational damageWhy pattern recognition is the biggest risk to Perry's brandThe Christian Keyes video circulating online and its unspoken implicationsWhat Perry's team should have said instead—and why it mattersFrom the “Lizzo Effect” to the gap between legal and reputation risk, this is a classic case of what happens when a billion-dollar brand forgets that beloved status is earned—and easily revoked.Strategic Takeaway: Defensive desperation destroys trust faster than the allegation itself.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

Liz Wilcox shares why every video professional needs an email list (even if they're just starting out) and provides practical, easy-to-implement strategies for using email marketing to create more predictable income without feeling salesy or spending hours crafting the perfect message. Key Takeaways Your email list is your "potential client list" - people don't buy when you sell, they buy when they're ready, and email keeps you top of mind until that moment Start with a simple lead magnet (like "5 Red Flags When Hiring a Videographer") that solves a specific problem for your ideal clients Be your authentic self in emails - even corporate clients appreciate working with real humans who show personality rather than stuffy, formal messaging Ask questions and get feedback from your email subscribers to help craft services and packages they actually want instead of guessing what might sell About Liz Wilcox The Fresh Princess of Email Marketing, Liz Wilcox is an Email Strategist and Keynote Speaker showing small businesses how to build online relationships + make real money with emails. She's best known for selling a blog, turning a $9 offer into multiple six-figures (without ads), and helping you untangle the email “knot” with her simple framework, the Email Staircase.

They buy when they're ready... So as far as starting your email list, it can be as simple as telling those clients, 'Hey, I'm gonna put you on this email list, I'm gonna email you.'" - Liz Wilcox "We're all H to H, human to human... If you think you can't be yourself because your client is too uppity or whatever, I say it with love, maybe reconsider. You can be yourself." - Liz Wilcox "Marketing is not saying 100 different things, it's saying one thing 100 different times. It's not braggy to say, 'Oh my gosh, my last client loved his video, here's a snippet.' That's not bragging, that's letting people know so that they can get something they love too." - Liz Wilcox "What would this look like if it was easy? And sometimes I'm like, well, Liz, it's just not easy. So I got a backup question. What would this look like if it was fun?" - Liz Wilcox Guest Links Find Liz Wilcox online Follow Liz Wilcox on Instagram | Facebook Get the Mega Email Swipe File Links Learn more about the Video Blueprint Starter Kit Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group  Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes
