Despite his young age, Braden offers profound insights, stressing passion and tireless effort as nonnegotiable: Stick to the path, keep working hard, and you can't give up. What if Mr. Beast gave up when he was making zero money? There were years when Mr. Beast didn't make any money. So if you haven't put in your time, if you haven't put in your college tuition, which is like your two to four years of really sitting down and grinding at it, then don't complain. That's my biggest thing. Don't complain unless you've felt some pain, you know? -- Braden Blacker As a true digital native, Braden understands the keeping tabs on trends and trying and revising assets to see what resonates.   For anyone looking to understand streaming's future, influencer marketing's evolution, and the mindset driving Gen Z's brightest stars, this is an episode packed with invaluable insights.

Are you looking to grow your agency while maintaining a work-life balance? Not sure who and when to hire to achieve your agency goals and not work yourself to death? You can find the balance and reach your goals when you hire the right team. That's what today's guest learned when she figured out how to offload the things she doesn't love and focus on what she does love about being an agency owner. As a former TV reporter turned PR agency owner, she shares her journey of growing her agency and her strategies for increasing profit while decreasing workload. Although she used to default to controlling sales and all communication with clients, she eventually became addicted to building a team. Now as CEO, her day-to-day activities focus more on creating content that will bring organic leads to the agency. She shares her strategies for finding the right people to achieve her agency goals and wants to help agency owners understand the importance of overcoming the hurdle of marketing yourself as an agency owner in order to build your brand. Christina Nicholson is a former TV reporter and anchor who got into PR and is now the owner and CEO of Media Maven. Christina's first job after leaving TV was working at an agency for 6 months. Her agency experience wasn't the best so she decided to leave and started to work as a “professional freelancer”. From there, she slowly started building a team and, before she knew it, she now had an agency. Her agency gives people exposure in the media without spending on ads. Christina also has an online course that helps people DIY if they don't have a budget for an agency. In this episode, we'll discuss: Reducing the owner's workload and building a team. Building your personal brand to secure organic leads for your agency. Getting out of sales by establishing your role upfront.   Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Stitcher | Radio FM Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 11 years to agencies all over the world.

Reducing the Agency Owner's Workload and Building a Team For Christina, the scariest part of building an agency was hiring people. She had a personal brand as a freelancer that she carefully curated with impeccable work ethics. Of course, she was nervous about bringing other people into that dynamic. However, by this time she was working around the clock, and was stressed out, and it was clearly time to get other people to help her. She initially had to force herself to back off and allow her employees to do their jobs. Eventually, she became addicted to building a team. The big change really came once she hired a person who could essentially replace her functions with clients. This way, she stopped being the middleman between clients and her team. This person was in charge of making sure that both clients and team members had everything they needed to be successful. At this point, she realized she was still making money and didn't have a lot to do, which was amazing. Securing Organic Leads through Content For her first hires, Christina started posting in Facebook groups with contacts from her time working in media. This led to a few key hires that later made valuable referrals as she grew her team. For her most valuable hire to date, she was surprised to find this person in her personal network. At the time, she didn't quite know she needed a director of operations. Once she was clear on what she needed, someone suggested she just post it on her personal Facebook to see what came up. Luckily, the right person quickly answered and she was able to fill the role that would change the way she ran her agency. It wasn't a smooth process at first. Christina would continually answer emails before anyone else could. This is common for agency owners who are so used to doing things by themselves. However, it defeats the purpose of bringing on a team. Once she backed off and started delegating and empowering her team, she saw real change. When it was time for her role at the agency to change, she started to study how she got the clients she had. She realized most of them came to her organically after listening to her podcast or her posts on LinkedIn. It was time to focus on creating more content, building her newsletter, and recording her podcast. How to stop wasting time. Christina used to waste a lot of time on potential clients who had no idea what they wanted, no budget, and unclear goals. Now she dedicates time to qualifying her leads, asking for their budget and goals, and afterwards refers them to a team member who will be their point of contact. Leveraging Your Personal Brand to Promote Your Agency's Expertise A lot of agency owners resist the idea of becoming the face of their brand and start creating content. They feel this will create the expectation that clients will be working directly with them in their campaigns. This is not necessarily the case and Christina has found the best way to get that message through is by being very clear about the expectations once they sign on. There are many benefits to building your brand like opportunities for contributed articles, podcast interviews, and quotes. These will all help you reach people and attract new clients who see you as an authority and want to work with your agency. There has to be an expert behind the brand and agency owners should be that expert. Why do people want to be a part of Oprah's favorite things or work with Vaynermedia? It's because of Oprah and Gary. It all goes back to the personal brand. And clients know when they sign with Vaynermedia they're not going to work with Gary himself, but that his team has been chosen and trained by him. Getting the Owner Out of Sales By Establishing Their Role Upfront One of the biggest concerns for agency owners wanting to get out of sales is that clients will want to work directly with them. If clients come to know your agency through your content, won't they expect to be working with you every step of the way? For Christina, it's about setting expectations early. If a client specifically asks if they'll be working with her, she explains that won't be the case and talks about the option of hiring her as a freelancer at a much higher rate. However, she's very upfront about why it is in their best interest to hire her as an agency. By hiring the agency, they'll get a team of specialists working on their brand while she oversees everything. If they hire her as a freelancer, they'll just get her. Building the best sales team. When it comes to her sales team, Christina prefers to hire people who used to work as publicists, at newsrooms or book publishing agencies. They have the right expertise and the stories to close those sales. It takes a lot of the stress off for her as an agency owner. Getting Over Discomfort to Market Yourself Effectively Are you afraid of appearing "too loud" if you start to market yourself? Maybe you're uncomfortable with putting yourself out there. Remember that people need to know about you to do business with you. You have to be known to get leads and translate them into some kind of sale. It's something Christina strongly encourages business owners to get over or else risk oblivion. Furthermore, that fear could stem from comparison with people online who are actually making false promises and displaying a lifestyle they don't live. For Christine, the biggest mistake people make is believing they don't have a big enough team or presence to get coverage. Nobody cares how big your business is or how much money you're making. It's all about having a story people will enjoy. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Media Maven Christina Nicholson has a lot to say about public relations. More than anything, she has valuable advice for entrepreneurs - on how to promote themselves authentically, confidently and effectively.  Christina Nicholson is an award-winning television journalist, course creator, public speaker, podcaster and Founder of the PR agency Media Maven. Christina and her Media Maven team work intimately and exclusively with a select number of high-ticket clients, bringing their public relations goals to fruition through hard work and strategic ad placement. Besides her agency's work with clients, Christina has used her decades of experience in media to create a suite of products for business owners, with various budgets and goals.

Christina has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, the Huffington Post, Time, Yahoo!, PR Daily, All Business Experts, on CNN, WTVJ in Miami, WPTV in West Palm Beach, News 12 in New York City, and in many other media outlets.  Now on The Business of You, Christina shares her industry's best-kept secrets to help us all get recognized by the right people, at the right time. Treat your business like a business When Christina decided to go out on her own, she thought it would be easy.  She started an Upwork account, jumped on LinkedIn and worked around the clock. But for two years, she made herself miserable - until she invested in herself! After exhausting her energy, Christina hired a business coach, who told her to treat her business like an actual…business.  Christina had been wearing all the hats - sales person, service provider, marketer and beyond. For the first time, Christina took a step back and considered the future of her company like a CEO. Her coach advised her to hire a team, thinking big-picture and take on more seasoned clients.  So many entrepreneurs are guilty of this. In your own business, are you thinking like a CEO? What actionable goals could you set for your business and who could you hire to help you achieve them? Stop getting in your own way When asked for her biggest piece of advice for entrepreneurs, Christina responded immediately with this: Stop getting in your own way.  Founders, particularly women, think that they need to wait for perfect conditions to market their businesses. They make excuses and put off PR and media until they think they've achieved success - when their website is perfect, they have a team and they're making “enough” money. But Christina advises: This is backwards! When it comes to PR, she reminds us that it's all about generating new opportunities for growth. Get in front of people before you're “ready,” and big things will happen in your business! Share your wins, everywhere Christina has noticed a bizarre trend in the world of PR, and she's here to encourage you to avoid this popular mistake.  After getting PR coverage, she notices that a lot of businesses don't share it. They forget to send out an email about it, make a social media post about it, post it on their website, or even mention it beyond their personal circle of friends. Nobody knows they were on TV, and they don't help get the word out. Avoid this popular PR mistake. If someone promotes you - on their channel, podcast, in their newsletter or magazine, etc - share it far and wide. This is a great opportunity to ask yourself - where was I featured recently, and who have I told about it? Who could I tell about it? Who needs to know about this? Make sure you're celebrating your wins, because it will ultimately catapult you to business success.  Quotes “I said, you know what? This is a service-based industry, so I don't need a lot of money to get started. I'll just go on LinkedIn and Upwork and get my own clients! I did that for two years, by myself…and I was freaking miserable.” “It was tough because I was wearing all of the hats. I was doing it all myself - I was doing the marketing, servicing the clients, I was the salesperson. It wasn't until I hired my first business coach that I actually learned about business!” “Everything I do is under the PR umbrella. But there are different products and services depending on where you are in your business, and how much time or money you want to spend making this a part of your marketing strategy.” “I'm the kind of manager I would have wanted. I don't check up on them. As long as you're hitting those goals, I don't care. I don't care what you wear, when you work,  where you went to college, how many hours you worked. Is the client happy, and are you happy? Perfect! We just do our jobs. We're all adults. We don't need to be babysat. We just get things done.” “With our clients, we don't have a whole onboarding thing for weeks. We have one call - what are your goals? What do you want to see? What do you want? What is the short term goal and end goal? Then we go and execute that day. All this talking, planning and researching - it has a place! But in PR when we're trying to get you coverage, we don't waste time.” “We give our clients updates every week. It's so important to send them an email every week - this is what we did, this is what worked, this is what didn't work. We think we're gonna go this way next week and we need your help with XYZ.” “Stop telling yourself you're not ready for it. A lot of women do this. They make all kinds of excuses. You're putting the cart before the horse. The way you get more money, a bigger brand, more leads and a bigger email list - you get this by being in front of people. You get the attention first, then the leads come in. So many people get this backwards.” “After you get coverage, please - share it, and share it everywhere! It blows my mind how many people get media coverage and don't put it on their website, don't post it to social media, don't send it to their email list.” Links mentioned in this episode: Are you ready to finally see your name in popular media outlets like Forbes, Inc., and Fast Company?

When the pandemic shook the world in the spring of 2020, Stacey Birch, a career bartender with a special-needs son, was in Bali working on a 12-month plan to reinvent her life. “Bringing Bob his beer and ranch dressing was no longer fulfilling,” she observes wryly. So after turning 50, she entered a contest to learn social media in Bali. Then Covid struck. “I crashed hard,” she CoveyClub founder Lesley Jane Seymour in this wildly candid and humorous conversation. Hear how Birch pivoted her goals, made the decision to uproot her life to Mexico, and reinvent herself as a retreat host and social media entrepreneur.  About Stacey: This Canadian single mama and career bartender turned her passion for puppies, margaritas and the 'gram into a total midlife pivot. At age 50 I moved to Mexico, healed myself through dog rescue and started a thriving social media business. It took a lovely combo of luck, determination, insanity and, well, the magic of IG to completely start anew. And now I would like to in turn take all that I have learned and help others rewriting their stories, starting anew to truly embrace this free marketing tool and community builder! I am launching a full course called the Midlife Social Savvy Course as well as hosting 1:1 personal branding retreats in Tulum Mexico...a content creator's dream.   Connect with Stacey: Instagram     Connect with Lesley Jane Seymour & CoveyClub: Website | Instagram | LinkedIn | Join CoveyClub

THE THESIS: The Mockingbird Media and their partners in The Party know full well they rigged the election against al least half the voters. They are schemers just like the ones addressed in the Bible.  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  Jeremiah 22:13-14 “Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness And his upper rooms without justice, Who uses his neighbor's services without pay And does not give him his wages, Who says, ‘I will build myself a roomy house With spacious upper rooms, And cut out its windows, Paneling it with cedar and painting it bright red.' Micah 2:1 Woe to those who scheme iniquity, Who work out evil on their beds! When morning comes, they do it, For it is in the power of their hands. THE NEWS & COMMENT: A darling of the Mockingbird Media is fully supportive of conspiracies to alter how people vote, so long as the conspiracy serves the Accela class, of which he is a member.  [AUDIO] - Sam Harris just admitted he supported censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story because it helped Biden. This man just set his entire career on fire  Who is he? This guy Sam admitted just one part of the way they rigged things. Time Magazine covered the rest of what they did in this, the most important, non-conservative coverage of the election rigging in media. Again, they bragged about it. The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election Sam Harris said, “it's not Joe Biden. It's Hunter Biden” Uh . . . Hunter Biden IS Joe Biden when it comes to raking in bribes for The Big Guy.  ‘Whatever You Need': How Hunter Biden Helped the CCP's Premier Influence Group Gain a US Foothold; Emails reveal how Hunter got Obama to officially recognize partnership Here's the Mockingbird Media's GOP nominee for President, Liz Cheney who says we are insane and un-American to question the election of 2020 [AUDIO] - “We have no chance at winning elections if we are in a position where our party has abandoned principle and abandoned value and abandoned fundamental fidelity of the Constitution in order to embrace a cult of personality,” Liz Cheney tells ABC “News.”  And, the FBI--which obviously refuses to do anything to go against the Clinton-Obama-Biden crime families, has seen their reputation with Americans utterly crater. Rasmussen: “‘Biden's Gestapo'? Trump Raid Hurts Voter Trust in FBI” “It was a conspiracy, right out in the open . . . “ Yes, Sam, it was - - - indeed-it-was! The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election There is one Republican governor who gets it and is getting it done legislatively  [AUDIO] - Gov. DeSantis Upholds Election Integrity Laws [AUDIO] -  DeSantis breathes fire on a reporter who got snippy after it was announced that the state of Florida is prosecuting 20 individuals for voter fraud. CNN fires one of the chief cleaners for the Biden Crime Family and the CNN propaganda machine Farewell Brian Stelter… for now; The ousted CNN host was a hitman on behalf of the media [AUDIO] - A classic moment of Helter-Stelter: Little Brian spanked by the founder of the Weather Channel The Criminal Conspiracy Continues . . .  They are still rigging elections: YouTube Bans Steven Crowder's Exclusive Interview With Kari Lake They are still inventing crimes:  BREAKING: Federal judge in Whitmer fednapping trial places 25-minute limit on defense attorneys but not on prosecutors. Defense attorneys now arguing with Judge Robert Jonker about his order under Reeves. This was applied to 2 govt witnesses who pleaded guilty. The so-called “Border Patrol” literally unlocks a gate and lets illegals walk into the Country! [AUDIO] -  NEW: For the first time, we witnessed the TX National Guard close & lock a gate on private property at a major crossing area in Eagle Pass, denying entry to migrants who just crossed illegally & expected to be let in. Border Patrol then came w/ a key & let them in for processing. Thank the Lord, there are still people who stand up! [AUDIO] - AOC gets rhetorically broken by a witness talking about illegal immigration and family seperation - Tom Homan, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is a visiting fellow at The Heritage FoundationSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
