In this episode, I'm joined by Krista Lee, founder of DBL Designs, whose vibrant six-figure jewelry brand was born from her darkest season—postpartum depression.

Brian chats with Erika Rodriguez, founder and CEO of Nadi Marketing and co-founder of Tidal Pages. Erika specializes in partnership marketing for sustainable and purpose-driven businesses. In this episode, she shares how being laid off led her to entrepreneurship, the power of niching down, and how authentic partnerships can amplify your impact. Erika also details why email should be a top marketing priority and how joy, connection, and community have shaped her businesses. Episode Highlights Mission-driven businesses prioritize sustainability. Erika defines a mission-driven business as one that prioritizes sustainability throughout the entire product lifecycle -- from who makes the products to how they're disposed of. “They don't create the product just to make profits,” she said. “They actually think about the whole lifecycle of their product and about more of the people in the planet that they serve.” Niching down makes marketing easier. When Erika started Nadi Marketing in 2020, she offered a full suite of marketing services: websites, blog posts, social media, and events. But after deciding to follow what brings her joy, she niched down to specializing in partnership marketing for sustainable businesses. She's now seen as an expert in her field and the work itself has become a lot easier for her. “It made me target my marketing more, and it's putting me as the expert,” she said. “The client work has been so much easier because I enjoy that work.” Partnership marketing allows for mutual growth. Erika defines partnership marketing as collaborating with another business to create a marketing campaign, product, bundle, or other shared initiative. The goal is to build relationships that benefit both parties and align with shared values. “If we can find businesses the right partners, then they can make partnerships specifically for impact,” she said. “We can do so much more together.” Build your community. Building a business is not easy, which is why Erika hopes that all entrepreneurs have a community to support them during tough times. During the pandemic, Erika built her social media community by organically connecting with people on Instagram, which turned into IRL relationships. She encouraged other business owners to lean on the partners they have in their communities. “Start with the connections and partners that you have,” she said. “Everyone has a network already, but maybe you're not leveraging it.” Resources + Links “Start with Why” by Simon Sinek Erika Rodriguez: LinkedIn Nadi Marketing: Website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook Tidal Pages: Website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook Brian Thompson Financial: Website, Newsletter, Podcast Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast Brian Thompson, JD/CFP, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.

Let's explore the fascinating intersection of AI and customer insights with Terry Brock, a Hall of Fame speaker and AI expert. We uncover how AI tools like Perplexity can transform the way we gather and interpret customer sentiments from social media platforms. Terry shares his expertise on leveraging these platforms to capture real-time feedback and opinions. Discover how AI not only analyzes feedback but also helps in proactively gauging customer emotions and preferences, enhancing the sales process with data-driven insights. In another segment, we explore the role of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Perplexity in business strategy and customer interaction. Terry and I discuss the value of using multiple AI platforms for a well-rounded perspective, much like corroborating sources in journalism.
Ever wished you could zip back in time and whisper some much-needed advice into the ear of your past self? It could have saved so much time and heartache! As you can imagine, there have been many lessons I've learned over the past eight years since I started my coaching business, and today I'm sharing with you the top 8! This story begins back in 2017, after the birth of my daughter, when I made a promise to myself that I would have a business by the time my maternity leave was finished. Yep - building a business with a brand-new baby in tow and an active 3 year old tearing around the house! That was a challenge - and one I was determined to conquer. My aim was clear: craft a business that allowed me to break free from the corporate grind, enjoy time with my kids, travel whenever I wanted and make an impact by helping others. Even with 20 years of marketing and brand building behind me, it was not the easy path I had imagined! I found myself on the entrepreneurial rollercoaster and had my fair share of fails as well as some incredible wins. There's even a year when we took the kids out of school and went caravanning around Australia for 9 months, seeing the most remote and beautiful parts of the country - and my business grew while I was snorkelling and sipping wine at gorgeous vineyards. Looking back, I wish there were things I could have discovered sooner. I'm sharing just a snapshot of my top lessons with you here in this episode, in the hope that you don't have to live through some of the experiences I did to learn them! Here's a sneak peek into the gems we explore in this episode: Why is entrepreneurship a journey of personal development? I explore how becoming your own boss is a wake-up call to personal growth and self-discovery. What could you be doing wrong with your offer? Learn the vital lesson that a phenomenal service doesn't sell itself if no one wants it. How crucial is positioning yourself as an expert? Uncover why without clear expertise in a niche, you're missing out on potential clients who simply can't see you. Value – what are you really worth? I discuss how undervaluing your services impacts not only your income but also your client relationships. And finally, what's the truth about overnight success? Spoiler: success doesn't pop up overnight, so let's bust that myth and learn why patience really is a virtue. So if you're ready to skip a few steps on your own path and dig into lessons that could accelerate your journey, take a listen! Let me know which ones resonated with you most!
