This indicates that business owners remain confident in the economic conditions and actively pursue growth opportunities. Credit union employees see this as a positive sign, reflecting a robust mindset among local entrepreneurs and a willingness to invest in their businesses despite external challenges.It is critical to start with strategic planning and balance.

Joe's approach underscores that success often comes from leveraging proven ideas and maintaining a clear sense of purpose rather than attempting to reinvent the wheel.RESOURCE LINKS: Mark Ritter - WebsiteMark Ritter - LinkedInEdinboro Storage Center - WebsiteCountry Elegance Venue - WebsiteBIOGRAPHIES: Joe Markiewicz is the owner of a wedding venue in Erie, PA.Nathan heads up business lending at Erie FCU.

Most of us are well aware of the supply chain shortages, both within our industry and well beyond. Some of us are also keenly aware of labor shortages. This show is all about reliability of circuit assemblies. While reliability is often referred to as a process, it is also rooted in culture.Reliability begins with people. So, instead of talking about common reliability, subjects, such as voiding, soldering materials, assembly, best practices, and the plethora of other usual suspect topics, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about people. After all, as I said, reliability begins with people.My guest today is Dr. John Mitchell. Many of you know John as the president and CEO of IPC, one of our industries largest trade associations.

In business world we need to measure and monitor all our activities thereby we will know whether we are moving in the right directionI'm Cys Bronner, Executive Director for BNI's Greater Los Angeles regions and today, I'm going to share with you one important coordinator role for every chapter called the Go Green Coordinator The Go Green Coordinator is vital for the success of every member because we all come together, and we help each other in participating in various BNI chapter activities Another job as The Go Green Coordinator is to tell all our members whether all of us are putting our efforts in the right direction - that's the reason in BNI we have created a system called traffic light system, like the traffic light has a green amber and red.In BNI we have created a very interesting Benchmark or measurement system based on traffic lights called The Power of One Report. This terrific tool tells all the members whether we are going in the right directionIf you are The Go Green Coordinator for your chapter (or maybe being considered for that role,) let me share with you what are the things that you can do before the meeting during the meeting and even after the meeting because only when you are very clear on your particular role you can actually help other members also to perform at the best possible way Number one is every month your regional office will be sharing the Traffic Light style colors in the Power of One Report of all the members. You'll want to talk to your chapter Leadership. your president will share this with you or they will ask the Regional Office to add you to the distribution list. Before the meeting get the entire data of all the members what are their scores, where are they right now. Any member more than 70 points they are in the green! Members who are between 50 to 70 are amber, or yellow if you prefer. 30 to 50 points places your referral partner in the red As those chapter members who have accumulated less than 30 based on their activities, they become Gray members Remember that, you know it's very important that once you get that report to communicate to the Mentor Coordinator and of course, individually to every member either via phone e-mail WhatsApp whichever is convenient to you maybe explain the members why becoming green is really important you know why green is important you know because if you are a green member above 70% - 70 points it means you are highly contributing member - when you contribute you actually enhance your visibility and thereby enhance your credibility you are telling every member in the chapter that you are a more responsible member ready to understand everyone's business and ready to contribute Remember our Givers Gain philosophy So being a green member is one way of exhibiting your givers gain principle to the entire chapter So maybe as a go green coordinator you have to explain the benefits of why every member must become green thereby, they can enhance their visibility and credibility and also their profitability So, talk to members. If some members are struggling to become green maybe you can break down the entire report and tell them “You know, this month just focus on adding five more points” Don't give them big numbers, give them only +5 points to add up in their score and motivate them as they move forward. You can even give them one activity to help make that happen.

#XYPNRadio's very own host, Maddy Roche, is interviewed on the podcast today. Maddy is XYPN's Senior Director of Member Success, a role in which she's entirely dedicated to helping XYPN members be successful. As the first employee, Maddy has been part of XYPN since the very beginning, and today, she shares her experience navigating change and the growth that comes along with it. She discusses how she inspires an “embrace change” mentality within her own team and offers advice on fostering a positive company culture and preserving that culture within a rapidly growing company. Maddy shares what it's like to manage a team of managers—which she admits had a steep learning curve. We also spend some time reflecting on the fee-only movement, and the powerful role introspection plays in bettering yourself both personally and professionally. Having connected with thousands of fee-only advisors over the past seven and a half years, Maddy offers a unique perspective on what it really means to be a part of the XYPN movement, what exactly REAL financial planning entails, and the impact XYPN advisors have on the lives of others and on the industry at large. Maddy also shares her own experience working with a financial advisor and how recently engaging advisors who are also life planners has changed her outlook and shaped her trajectory. If you're interested in learning more about the story of #XYPNRadio's host, Maddy Roche, what her seven and half year journey with XYPN has looked like, and how her introspective mindset and approach have helped her continuously better herself both as a team member and as a person, this episode is for you.

Steph Crowder gives us tons of mic drops about some of those same struggles that she’s faced and how we can work through them.

She also talks about building community, and gives us some very concrete, actionable tips on getting amazing interviews in our corporate and documentary films.

Are you feeling down about the low numbers on your email list? Have you ever wondered how you could really accelerate its growth? (Show Notes: fizzleshow.co/248) Perhaps all it takes is a mindset shift. That's what we did recently on a separate website we run and it had HUGE results. First of all, you already know how important your email list is to your business, right? If you don't know about how important email is to modern business, you can check out any of these educational posts. The gist is this: for many of us successful indie entrepreneurs, our email list is the core of our business because through email we have a powerful form of “digital relationship” with our customers. So, if you aren't getting a very good “conversion rate” on your website — from casual visitor to email subscriber — then it can feel kinda terrible. Like, there's all these people coming to your website, but so few of them are taking you up on your offer. For many of us the is a PRIME LOCATION for investing some time to improve things. There's a lot of places in your business you could waste time making updates — like revamping your logo, for example. You could spend hours and hours on that but your changes will almost certainly make zero impact. Spending time on your email conversion on your website, however, is something that can make a HUGE difference. It has for us. Because in today I want to show you an audio training where we discuss how Steph Crowder — Director of Member Success here at Fizzle — was able to DOUBLE her email list in just one week. If you are starting your email list from scratch, or just looking for some tips, tricks and strategies on how to grow your list — and in turn your business — you will really take something away from this episode. We also talk about the two free guides Steph created to accelerate her list and how listening, empathizing and responding to your listener community is the best thing you can do to grow your business. There's some notes below, but the meat of this training is really in the conversation. Enjoy!
Have you thought about teaching yoga full-time but fear making ends meet? Steph Crowder, the Head of Member Success at Fizzle.co has created actionable steps to make possible what may seem like an impossible goal. Fizzle is a community for creatives, makers and entrepreneurs. Steph began as a member and loved the platform so much she envisioned a role for herself within the company. She applied for a small job and worked her way up to her full-time position. Steph also hosts the Courage and Clarity Podcast and co-hosts The Fizzle Show which allows her to share her passion for helping entrepreneurs reach their potential in an otherwise often solitary pursuit. Steph shares with us the importance of calculating your Minimal Viable Income (or MVI) which is the minimum you need to make, per month, to make ends meet. If while building your business you can earn this number there's a good chance you can transition from your primary job to teaching yoga full-time. When Steph isn't helping people pursue their business goals, she's hanging out with her husband and one-year-old-daughter, sipping wine and decorating her new home in Louisville, Kentucky. 7:40 How Steph got started on her entrepreneurial journey 11:55 What is Minimal Viable Income? 14:15 Your MVI is highly individualized and is dictated by numerous variables 18:50 When can I teach yoga full time? 20:00 The power of having a number for your Minimal Viable Income 20:35 Actionable steps to determine your Minimal Viable Income: 1 Fixed and Variable Expenses- determining the difference between your fixed expenses like rent, mortgage, car insurance, etc. and variable expenses that are based on habits like entertainment, clothes, groceries 23:00 2 Trimming the Fat- looking at the numbers and where you can reduce, challenging yourself on the expenses 25:35 3 Getting Creative- go further and ask yourself the question like: do you need 2 cars, can you change your living situation, etc. - means to an end, changes aren't forever 29:15 4 Do the Math Do you have a cushion of savings Business archetypes -different ways you can bring in income Making a game plan to get the work you need to reach your MVI 34:15 4 strategies to consider if you need to hit your MVI quickly: Consider 1:1 work Hit your networks hard Always ask for referrals Consider a second source of income 40:30 Does the MVI apply to those working full-time teaching yoga and feel like they're not making ends meet? 43:20 How to contact Steph 44:30 Shannon's closing thoughts Links Steph's email: steph@fizzle.co The Fizzle Website Steph's Website: Courage and Clarity- Fizzle to sign up for 5-week free trial Free PDF from Steph: How to Afford an Entrepreneurial Lifestyle: A Comprehensive Guide to Minimum Viable Income Courage and Clarity Podcast Courage and Clarity on Facebook Steph on Instagram The Connected Teacher Facebook Group Follow The Connected Teacher on Youtube Book a Consultation Call with Shannon Mama Nurture Teacher Training (RPYT) Gratitude to our Sponsor Schedulicity
What is your driving force? The ultimate thing in your life that gives you direction and purpose? For Steph Crowder, Head of Member Success at Fizzle.Co., her motivators are her 14-month-old daughter and Fizzle. Fizzle is a company that helps creative entrepreneurs build their businesses via online courses, and weekly articles, podcasts, and small business guides. Their ultimate goal is to set up individual business owners with every resource, and tool they need to feel supported by an understanding community of like minded individuals. It is because of their mission and morals that Fizzle has become Steph's north star and passion. She refers to herself as the 'Den Mama' of Fizzle because she is so invested in the company, and takes care of everything and everyone, from clients to coworkers. Starting as a customer of theirs, she joined the company as a part-time customer service rep two years ago, and took a 60% pay cut from her previous job as head of a department at Groupon. Since she has become part of the leadership team, hosts Fizzle's podcast, as well as her own, Courage and Clarity. When her daughter came into the world, her heart and dedication became split between being a devoted mom and an ambitious leader. She wanted her career and role at Fizzle to continue to grow and move at the upward pace it was, previously. But she needed to do so in less time, because she didn't want her daughter's life to be consumed by day care, and wanted to be an involved parent. She wanted to do it all, and compromise nothing, and felt she could do so with rigid scheduling and time management. She quickly realized that that was a no-go. She began to see that this way of thinking and living was being reactive to her conundrum, but not actually proactive in changing anything. So she started delegating her work load, and saying no to things that were miniscual, and weren't what she wanted or needed to be doing; such as getting trapped in email jail, and handling Fizzle's social media prescence. By eliminating unneccesary tasks and distractions in her life and at work, she was able to be the mother that she wanted to be and spend quality time with her baby. Stay tuned and hear more about how Steph worked her way up at Fizzle, how motherhood made her a better leader, and how her and her partners are evolving Fizzle with a fresh identity and purpose! Also, check out Steph's original appearance on She Did it Her Way two years ago! In this episode you will... Be okay with not getting constant feedback on your performance as an entrepreneur Learn how to merge skills as a mother into being a leader in your professional life Know how to delegate certain tasks at your job, and projects so you can focus on your personal or family life Learning other behaviors to increase productivity, as opposed to working harder and longer, and burning yourself out Discover what your business or start up wants to evolve to once it's hit the 5 year mark Not make your happiness conditional, and be happy with where and who you are at the moment INSIGHTS "There are a lot of lessons, and definitely a border between start ups and pregnancy, and also motherhood. You learn so much about business. I think business and entrepreneurship can teach us a lot about how to be the CEOs of our families. It's really cool to see how these two different systems can play together when you're doing both in your life." -Steph Crowder "If I have an activity...or a project that I want to take on, now I just stop and I say, 'What would be the result of that? Is it going to reach my number one objective, which is growing Fizzle?' That is my north star...I really tried to put myself in the driver's seat.... I'm just trying to support myself and show my daughter an example of what meaningful work can be." -Steph Crowder "Working harder, longer is not a strategy...if that's your sole strategy...you're going to hit a wall. I have not seen someone not burn out on that model, and I am an example of that. You will reach a point in your life where thatno longer becomes a viable strategy. It might work in the short term, but [when] you get to a point where your priorities change, it doesn't feel good to live from that place." -Steph Crowder "It's challenging, as well as incredibly invigorating, to be in part of a company that's doesn't know what the answer is...everything in your business is a hypothesis...even when you're as far along as a business like this...we have to test and tweak and iterate, and it's really exciting to be on the precipice of, where are we going to go from here?" -Steph Crowder "Get yourself in a place where...no matter what happens today I genuinely feel good...because inspired action is so much better and more effective...I feel like I'm doing more meaningful work...and that's a really new mindset for me to explore." -Steph Crowder RESOURCES Special Fizzle 5-Week Free Offer!

Your podcast description is one of the first things people see when they come across your podcast online or in a podcast app. This is your chance to catch their attention and sell them on your show. It's your opportunity to convince them to listen. The ideal podcast description answers two questions for your potential listener: Is this show for me? What am I going to get out of listening to this? When a potential audience member comes across your podcast and starts reading your description, they're wondering, “What's in it for me?” This is your chance to tell them why they should care about your show. Otherwise, they won't. Key Takeaways: Your podcast description is your chance to tell people what's in it for them. Refine the goal of your podcast down to a single sentence. Write your description in a way that brings agreement from your intended audience. Don't make your description all about you, make it about your listener. People will only care about you once you've proven you care about them. Your description is there to let people know you have what they're looking for. Write in a simple way that's tangible and clear for your audience. Try to deliver complex ideas simply. Your social media bio is a chance to communicate to people what they'll get if they follow you. I'm joined this week by Cory Miller. Cory is the co-host of the Invisible Details podcast and loves all things design and branding. Aaron: In this world where there's millions of pieces of content competing for our attention, your audience is looking to see if your content solves a specific need they have. You have to put thought not just into your podcast description, but into each of your episode descriptions as well. When a potential listener comes across your podcast for the first time, they're reading the description and wondering, “What's in this for me?” Your podcast description is your chance to tell people what's in it for them. You have to tell them why they should care about your show, otherwise they're not going to. What Should My Show Description Say? Aaron: When writing a description for your podcast or podcast episode, here are some questions to think about: What is your goal with this show? What are you going to teach or share with your listeners? Are you going to interview people? Are you going to bring people from that community in to share what they've learned, or is your show strictly about entertainment? The last two weeks I interviewed two guys who run a company called Dead Signals and produce two radio drama style podcasts (Related: e064 Creating a Radio Drama Podcast Part 1 (With Writer Marc Sollinger) & e065 Creating a Radio Drama Podcast Part 2 (With Producer/Engineer Dan Powell)). Their podcasts are very much just entertaining stories. They're not business related and they're not trying to change the world with their podcasts, they just want to tell stories in the audio medium and entertain people. The way I write a description for my podcast is going to be way different from the way they write theirs. They thought about that and asked, “What are people who would be interested in our show looking for?” They're trying to write a description that would catch the attention of someone looking for an entertaining story. I love the description for their Archive 81 show: “Three months ago Daniel Powell vanished. These are the tapes he sent to me. If you know anything, please contact me at archive81podcast@gmail.com.” They don't even tell you who the guy is, all you need to know is this guy vanished after he sent a friend some tapes. Try to Describe the Goal of Your Podcast in a Single Sentence Cory: Write your description in a way that brings agreement from your intended audience. Write it in a way that, while they're reading the description, they're thinking, “Oh yeah. Yes! This! Exactly that! Yes! I need to listen to this.” That's the reaction you're looking for. You want to write your description in a way that brings agreement from your intended audience. When they look at that description from Archive 81, people are like, “Whoa. That's creepy. I feel like I need to listen to this because I'm intrigued.” You're bringing intrigue and agreement. Whatever it is you write, you want it to resonate with your intended audience. The second thing is to write it in a way that if they're sitting with their phone on a bus heading to work and someone looks over and says, “I see you're listening to a podcast, what's that all about?” they can respond without looking up the description. That's what you're aiming for: you want something they can quickly tell their friend about without looking at the description. It's about clarity. It's not all about you, it's about what they're getting. If they said, “I'm listening to this show where this guy wants to help make me a better podcaster,” that's huge. Or, “I'm listening to this show where they teach me how to build a better brand.” That's very simplistic, but you can build off that and you can craft a description where people can pass that on. That's rooted in telling people what the mission of your company, your brand, or your life is. Being able to distill it in a way that allows people to be able to pass it back and forth is very powerful. Don't Make It All About You Share and talk about the experience you have and why you're qualified to teach on a certain subject. I can say, “I've been helping people make great podcasts for five years. I've worked for 5by5, the founder of Dribbble, Sean McCabe, and the Shop Talk show.” That shows authority and expertise, but if someone asks a listener about my show, they're not going to say, “Aaron Dowd is this great podcast editor and he's worked for all these people and he knows all this stuff about audio engineering.” The person asking about my show doesn't care about me, they only care about what the show will do for them if they listen to it. The words I should use instead could be, “If you want to learn how to make a great podcast, this is the show you should be listening to.” Cory: There's aspects of that you can include in your description. Instead of saying, “Hey, these are all of my accomplishments,” you can change that to something like, “Get knowledge from a guy who has years of experience in podcast editing.” You're putting the emphasis back on the listener and what they'll get from the show. You can do fill-in-the-blank stuff, like: “Learn how to (fill in the blank).” “Get knowledge from 10 years of experience in (fill in the blank).” “If you're an X, Y, or Z, you'll get tangible insights on (fill in the blank).” These are actionable steps. Your description should resonate with the listener, tell them what the benefit is for them, and give them a glimpse of the person they're going to become after listening. If you want, you can slide a little bit of your credentials in there. For instance, Aaron's podcast description says, “Professional podcast editor and producer shares everything he's learned about making great podcasts.” In the moment someone reads “professional podcast editor,” they're going to think, “This show is going to teach me how to become a professional podcast editor,” or, “I can learn something from this person who has this experience.” Ultimately, you have to remember that people will only care about you once you've proven you care about them. In regards to a value-exchange like this, you have to prove that you care about this person before they're going to start caring about you. If I find a new show, and look at it's podcast description, I don't know this person, I have no connection with them, I have no background on them, so I'm looking to see if this is worth my time. Once I listen to it, I can create a connection. That's exactly how it happened with seanwes. I started listening to the seanwes podcast out of the blue and I didn't know who Sean and Ben were, but after listening to so many of their shows, I started really connecting with these guys. That's why I joined the Community in the beginning, because they were talking about all these conversations people were having and I had total FOMO. I wanted to be in on the inside jokes because I felt connected to the podcast hosts. The connectedness happens after you've proven that you're here to deliver value. You deliver value first and the connectedness is all about, in a sense, selling yourself, your knowledge, and the benefit to the listener, and then they can continue to connect with you. Aaron: Make your podcast description about your listener. If you don't know who you're creating a podcast for, that's a problem. If you're just creating a show because you want it to be out there, you might get a few people listening, but you need to think about who you're making your show for. Podcast Description Review Aaron: One of my listeners (Stan) reached out to me, and I wanted to do a review for him to give him some practical steps to help him write a better podcast description. I feel like I can't pick apart his podcast description without looking at my own podcast description first, so let's pick apart my podcast description, then we'll do Cory's show (Invisible Details), then Stan's show. I feel like I need to rewrite my description anywys, so I'm hoping the things we talk about in this section will be helpful to someone else who has been listening who might want to rewrite theirs. Breakdown of The Podcast Dude's Podcast Description Here's the (current) description for The Podcast Dude: “Professional podcast editor and producer Aaron Dowd shares everything he's learned about making great podcasts. If you're interested in starting a podcast, growing your audience, and increasing your influence, this is the show for you. Get answers to all your questions about podcasting: gear, recording, content, editing, interviewing, mixing, mastering, and more. To stand out from thousands of other podcasts, you'll need to produce a high quality show. The Podcast Dude will help you get there. Don't just make a podcast—make an awesome podcast.” I don't know if I like that first sentence. It's making a claim that I'm a professional podcast editor and producer, but I don't have any evidence to back that up. I'm not saying, “Professional podcast editor and producer for these people.” I do have evidence to back that up, and the people that know me know I've worked with some fairly well-known podcasters, especially in the design realm, but I'm not backing it up with evidence. Also it puts me first—the first thing you see is my name, then I say I'm going to share everything I've learned. Another mistake I think I'm making there is talking about myself in the third person. I want to speak to a single person and I'm not speaking to a single person until the second line. Cutting out the first and the last sentences would be a good place to start, because that puts the focus back on the listener. "What do you want? Do you want to start a podcast? Do you want to grow an audience? This is the show for you." The next part, “Get answers to all your questions about podcasting: gear, recording, content, editing, interviewing, mixing, mastering, and more,” explains the kind of stuff I talk about. This is what I'm going to teach you. That's good, so I'll leave that as it is. Finally, I give my mission statement, “To stand out from thousands of other podcasts, you'll need to produce a high quality show. The Podcast Dude will help you get there.” Cory: I think you should remove the first sentence and the last sentence. I thought the last sentence was a mistake, honestly. I think you can add your name in the new last sentence, like, “To stand out from thousands of other podcasts, you'll need to produce a high quality show. The Podcast Dude, Aaron Dowd, will help you get there.” Aaron: I would say, “To stand out from thousands of other podcasts, you'll need to produce a high quality show. My name is Aaron Dowd and I want to help you make an awesome podcast.” Cory: “Make an awesome podcast,” is the last thing people will read and it's the last thing that's going to be on their mind. They'll read, “If you're interested in starting a podcast…” and they'll think, “Yes, I'm interested in starting a podcast.” Breakdown of the Invisible Details Podcast Description Cory: Invisible Details's description says, “A weekly show about building a successful brand through story and authenticity. A brand is so much more than a logo or what is visible on the surface. It's the heartbeat of a company. A brand is about values and the story you're telling. Join Cory Miller and Kyle Adams every Saturday for clear and practical advice on how to define your brand from the inside out. Connect with your audience and stand out from the competition.” I like it, but I think I could rework a little bit. There are a couple of things I'm trying to do with this. First, I'm setting expectations with “a weekly show.” There's no confusion about when it comes out, like bi-monthly, or a seasonal thing. It's a weekly show. Next, the description talks about building a successful brand. Most of the people I encounter who are starting this journey of building a better brand think branding is a out the visuals, logos, and all the things you see, but a brand is all about perception. It's all about how people think and feel about you and what they say about you when you're not in the room. I could rework that second sentence, but I also want it to be introductory, because the people we're trying to reach are people who have new and growing brands. They're just getting that first taste of redefining what brand means, and that's what that second sentence is for. Aaron: You have a solid first sentence and a solid last sentence. Let's say we cut all that stuff out in the middle; it would still be a good description—“A weekly show about building a successful brand through story and authenticity. Connect with your audience and stand out from the competition.” It explains what the show is about and what the listener will get out of it. Cory: It's very action-centered. I'm a very simplistic kind of person when it comes to design and writing. I adhere to this idea of, “How much can I remove but still have there be quality? Can we do less, but better?” That's my whole philosophy. I know people who write out their whole about pages in their description and no one will read that or remember it. You need to create something that is short and memorable. If someone asks if there's a podcast about podcasting I'd recommend, I'd say, “If you want to make a podcast, the Podcast Dude is all about helping you make an awesome podcast.” That's how I would describe it. Those are the ideas and key words you want to plant into people's heads through the description in a very simple way that's tangible and memorable. Aaron: You can't ask people to remember four paragraphs about you and what you do, because they're not going to. If you can't explain the point of your show in one or two sentences, you're going to have a bad time. Cory: People already know what they're looking for. You need to demonstrate that you have what they're looking for. People already know what they're looking for. Your description is there to let them know you have what they're looking for. Breakdown of Stan's Podcast Description Aaron: I didn't get Stan's permission to share the name of his podcast, but I do want to give him some direct feedback. Here's what's on his website when you first visit it, “I'm passionate about coaching leaders to help them reach maximum impact wherever they are currently leading.” “My heart beats faster when someone I spend time with takes a next step towards being more closely aligned with God's will for their life, enabling them to make an even greater impact. My goal is to provide leadership resources that are practical and can help anyone develop as a leader, including moms, dads, teachers, administrators, managers, volunteers, campus pastors, and lead pastors. Everyone leads someone.” The description for his podcast is, “This podcast focuses on ministry leaders to reach maximum impact where they currently lead. We also focus on brainstorming and idea creation for leaders.” Cory, what's your first reaction where you hear that? Cory: It sounds like something I would read in an about page, not a home page. On a home page, you need to speak to the pain of the person who's problem you're solving and it needs to speak with a benefit. I see his goals, but I don't see the benefit for myself. I want to know what I'm going to get out of going to this website. Condense that down to a single sentence—that's what people need to see on the home page. There's a lot of things there and I'm sure Stan is awesome. In fact, I'd love to talk with him about some of this stuff. The problem is I don't know Stan yet and all he's doing is introducing himself. If I'm a leader and I want to have maximum impact wherever I'm currently leading, I want to know that you're here to benefit me. That's ultimately what people are trying to figure out when they first go to your site. You can bring in yourself a little bit later. For the podcast description, I think that's a good start, but I would love to see more actionable sentences. Like, “Learn how to make a maximum impact in the industry you're currently leading.” Aaron: Stan, what do you mean by “maximum impact”? I think that's important, because those aren't very specific words. If you want people to make a change, what kind of change are you trying to get people to make? Go a little deeper on what those words mean. Also, what specifically about brainstorming and ideas? What's missing is a clear description of the problems you're trying to solve for people. Cory: The other aspect with that second sentence is, I see, “We focus on brainstorming and idea creation for leaders.” Does that mean you'll brainstorm for me and give me ideas? Or are you trying to teach me how to brainstorm? Are you trying to give me the tools to have better idea creation? Are you trying to make me into the kind of leader that is able to lead a team, brainstorm, create ideas, have successful meetings, make an impact in our community? Those are the things I want to see and hear about. You can expand on it without being too wordy with it. If I looked at this and someone asked me what the podcast is about, based on the description I'd say, “If you're a leader, they want to make you a better leader.” Another thing you can do is if you've had a podcast for a while, you can go look at the reviews and see what people are saying in your reviews. From there, you can rewrite and clarify your description based on what other people are saying. If you're a new podcast, you may not have that yet, but I would recommend talking with someone. Share everything about what your podcast is about and what your mission is and have them repeat it back to you in a sentence or two. That will give you some good ideas that you can include in your description. Have clarity in your podcast description. If you don't have clarity, you have nothing. Aaron: Talk to a couple of people you trust, or if you have an engaged online community, reach out to them and ask, “What do you think my podcast is about?” and see what people say. If you don't have a podcast, try it for yourself instead. Ask some of your friends, “How would you describe me to someone else? What do you think I'm about?” You'll get a lot of insight out of the answers to those questions. Cory: Stan, I hope this doesn't discourage you at all. The fact that you've shown up and have a grip on your mission and you know how you want to help people, that's good! That's more than a lot of people will ever have, but you just need to focus on clarity. Clarify some of the words and clarify who your target audience is based on this list you wrote. This is a great list, but try to condense it in a way that's repeatable for someone you've just shared it with. You have to write for stupid people. Is that a terrible thing to say? Aaron: It's not just stupid people. People are in a hurry, in a rush, people don't want to think. Cory: Let me rephrase: You have to write in a simple way that's tangible and clear for people. I often see people use inside slang, jargon, and terms that average people wouldn't understand. Don't give me the marketed, straight-from-a-thesaurus words. I don't care about that. If I'm your intended audience, I need it explained in a simple way. You can deliver complex ideas simply with clarity. Communicate in a simple but clear way. Aaron: Candice said, “A well-known author I know said he writes his books at a fifth grade level so that anyone can understand it.” Cory: I didn't mean that people are stupid. You just have to write in a clear way that anyone in your intended audience can understand. That's the most important thing. How to Write Better Social Media Descriptions Aaron: Jonathan asked, “Is there a formula or best structure for writing an effective bio for your social media descriptions?” Cory: First, what is the goal of your social media account? I don't know that there's necessarily a formula, but I know that a lot of social media descriptions have a cap, so you can't write past a certain amount of characters. Write something that's succinct and will help push you toward your goals. Especially now, try to make something that's memorable beyond “Father. Coffee lover. Hiker. Mountaineer.” Everyone is doing that, so if you're doing anything different, you're in good shape. Aaron: The formula I use for my Twitter bio is what I do and what I want to do for you, the person reading. My Twitter bio is simply, “Audio engineer/podcast editor for the seanwes network. I want to help you make an awesome podcast.” Cory: Mine is, “Director of Member Success at seanwes. Podcast host of Invisible Details. Author of Nice-to-Have, currently writing.” It depends on what your goals are. I want my Twitter to be a place where people can get access to me and the content is not in the description, the content is in the timeline. That's where I want people's eyes to look. I don't want to be clever, I want a bullet point credential. That's how I'm using it. Figure out what your goal is, what the goal of your social media account is, and what the goal of your description is. Then, condense that in a way that provides you some kind of credibility and people will continue going down the timeline. No one is going to care on Twitter unless they've gotten some kind of value on your timeline, whether it's entertainment, practical, etc. They're going to go to your timeline first and then they'll want to know about you. I use my bio as a tiny about page related to what it is I'm posting. Aaron: You'll get more followers if you include what you want to do for other people in your bio. Cory: Kyle Adams has a great one, “Icon designer intent on communicating in profound ways and helping others do the same.” Aaron: Jeremy Mura has a good one too, “Designer and illustrator. Teaching others what I know and helping people design a life of greatness.” When I look at someone's bio, I'm wondering, “Why should I follow this person?” Your bio is your chance to convince me to follow you. If I'm not already convinced, I don't know you, and you don't already have a huge audience advocating for you, and you don't tell me what you want to do for me, I probably won't follow you. Your bio is a chance to convince people they'll get something out of following you. Huge thanks to Cory Miller for joining me today. Follow him on Twitter and check out his show, Invisible Details.

Cory is the co-host of the Invisible Details podcast and loves all things design and branding.Aaron: In this world where there’s millions of pieces of content competing for our attention, your audience is looking to see if your content solves a specific need they have. You have to put thought not just into your podcast description, but into each of your episode descriptions as well.When a potential listener comes across your podcast for the first time, they’re reading the description and wondering, “What’s in this for me?”Your podcast description is your chance to tell people what’s in it for them. You have to tell them why they should care about your show, otherwise they’re not going to.What Should My Show Description Say?Aaron: When writing a description for your podcast or podcast episode, here are some questions to think about:What is your goal with this show?What are you going to teach or share with your listeners?Are you going to interview people? Are you going to bring people from that community in to share what they’ve learned, or is your show strictly about entertainment?The last two weeks I interviewed two guys who run a company called Dead Signals and produce two radio drama style podcasts (Related: e064 Creating a Radio Drama Podcast Part 1 (With Writer Marc Sollinger) & e065 Creating a Radio Drama Podcast Part 2 (With Producer/Engineer Dan Powell)).Their podcasts are very much just entertaining stories. They’re not business related and they’re not trying to change the world with their podcasts, they just want to tell stories in the audio medium and entertain people.The way I write a description for my podcast is going to be way different from the way they write theirs. They thought about that and asked, “What are people who would be interested in our show looking for?” They’re trying to write a description that would catch the attention of someone looking for an entertaining story.I love the description for their Archive 81 show: “Three months ago Daniel Powell vanished. These are the tapes he sent to me. If you know anything, please contact me at archive81podcast@gmail.com.”They don’t even tell you who the guy is, all you need to know is this guy vanished after he sent a friend some tapes.Try to Describe the Goal of Your Podcast in a Single SentenceCory: Write your description in a way that brings agreement from your intended audience. Write it in a way that, while they’re reading the description, they’re thinking, “Oh yeah. Yes! This! Exactly that! Yes! I need to listen to this.” That’s the reaction you’re looking for.You want to write your description in a way that brings agreement from your intended audience. When they look at that description from Archive 81, people are like, “Whoa. That’s creepy. I feel like I need to listen to this because I’m intrigued.” You’re bringing intrigue and agreement.Whatever it is you write, you want it to resonate with your intended audience. The second thing is to write it in a way that if they’re sitting with their phone on a bus heading to work and someone looks over and says, “I see you’re listening to a podcast, what’s that all about?” they can respond without looking up the description.That’s what you’re aiming for: you want something they can quickly tell their friend about without looking at the description. It’s about clarity. It’s not all about you, it’s about what they’re getting. If they said, “I’m listening to this show where this guy wants to help make me a better podcaster,” that’s huge.Or, “I’m listening to this show where they teach me how to build a better brand.” That’s very simplistic, but you can build off that and you can craft a description where people can pass that on. That’s rooted in telling people what the mission of your company, your brand, or your life is. Being able to distill it in a way that allows people to be able to pass it back and forth is very powerful.Don’t Make It All About YouShare and talk about the experience you have and why you’re qualified to teach on a certain subject.I can say, “I’ve been helping people make great podcasts for five years.

If you can’t explain the point of your show in one or two sentences, you’re going to have a bad time.Cory: People already know what they’re looking for. You need to demonstrate that you have what they’re looking for.People already know what they’re looking for. Your description is there to let them know you have what they’re looking for.Breakdown of Stan’s Podcast DescriptionAaron: I didn’t get Stan’s permission to share the name of his podcast, but I do want to give him some direct feedback. Here’s what’s on his website when you first visit it, “I’m passionate about coaching leaders to help them reach maximum impact wherever they are currently leading.”“My heart beats faster when someone I spend time with takes a next step towards being more closely aligned with God’s will for their life, enabling them to make an even greater impact. My goal is to provide leadership resources that are practical and can help anyone develop as a leader, including moms, dads, teachers, administrators, managers, volunteers, campus pastors, and lead pastors. Everyone leads someone.”The description for his podcast is, “This podcast focuses on ministry leaders to reach maximum impact where they currently lead. We also focus on brainstorming and idea creation for leaders.”Cory, what’s your first reaction where you hear that?Cory: It sounds like something I would read in an about page, not a home page. On a home page, you need to speak to the pain of the person who’s problem you’re solving and it needs to speak with a benefit.I see his goals, but I don’t see the benefit for myself. I want to know what I’m going to get out of going to this website.Condense that down to a single sentence—that’s what people need to see on the home page.There’s a lot of things there and I’m sure Stan is awesome. In fact, I’d love to talk with him about some of this stuff. The problem is I don’t know Stan yet and all he’s doing is introducing himself. If I’m a leader and I want to have maximum impact wherever I’m currently leading, I want to know that you’re here to benefit me. That’s ultimately what people are trying to figure out when they first go to your site. You can bring in yourself a little bit later.For the podcast description, I think that’s a good start, but I would love to see more actionable sentences. Like, “Learn how to make a maximum impact in the industry you’re currently leading.”Aaron: Stan, what do you mean by “maximum impact”? I think that’s important, because those aren’t very specific words. If you want people to make a change, what kind of change are you trying to get people to make? Go a little deeper on what those words mean. Also, what specifically about brainstorming and ideas? What’s missing is a clear description of the problems you’re trying to solve for people.Cory: The other aspect with that second sentence is, I see, “We focus on brainstorming and idea creation for leaders.” Does that mean you’ll brainstorm for me and give me ideas? Or are you trying to teach me how to brainstorm? Are you trying to give me the tools to have better idea creation? Are you trying to make me into the kind of leader that is able to lead a team, brainstorm, create ideas, have successful meetings, make an impact in our community? Those are the things I want to see and hear about.You can expand on it without being too wordy with it. If I looked at this and someone asked me what the podcast is about, based on the description I’d say, “If you’re a leader, they want to make you a better leader.”Another thing you can do is if you’ve had a podcast for a while, you can go look at the reviews and see what people are saying in your reviews. From there, you can rewrite and clarify your description based on what other people are saying. If you’re a new podcast, you may not have that yet, but I would recommend talking with someone. Share everything about what your podcast is about and what your mission is and have them repeat it back to you in a sentence or two. That will give you some good ideas that you can include in your description.Have clarity in your podcast description. If you don’t have clarity, you have nothing.Aaron: Talk to a couple of people you trust, or if you have an engaged online community, reach out to them and ask, “What do you think my podcast is about?” and see what people say. If you don’t have a podcast, try it for yourself instead. Ask some of your friends, “How would you describe me to someone else? What do you think I’m about?” You’ll get a lot of insight out of the answers to those questions.Cory: Stan, I hope this doesn’t discourage you at all. The fact that you’ve shown up and have a grip on your mission and you know how you want to help people, that’s good! That’s more than a lot of people will ever have, but you just need to focus on clarity. Clarify some of the words and clarify who your target audience is based on this list you wrote. This is a great list, but try to condense it in a way that’s repeatable for someone you’ve just shared it with. You have to write for stupid people. Is that a terrible thing to say?Aaron: It’s not just stupid people. People are in a hurry, in a rush, people don’t want to think.Cory: Let me rephrase: You have to write in a simple way that’s tangible and clear for people. I often see people use inside slang, jargon, and terms that average people wouldn’t understand. Don’t give me the marketed, straight-from-a-thesaurus words. I don’t care about that. If I’m your intended audience, I need it explained in a simple way.You can deliver complex ideas simply with clarity. Communicate in a simple but clear way.Aaron: Candice said, “A well-known author I know said he writes his books at a fifth grade level so that anyone can understand it.”Cory: I didn’t mean that people are stupid. You just have to write in a clear way that anyone in your intended audience can understand. That’s the most important thing.How to Write Better Social Media DescriptionsAaron: Jonathan asked, “Is there a formula or best structure for writing an effective bio for your social media descriptions?”Cory: First, what is the goal of your social media account? I don’t know that there’s necessarily a formula, but I know that a lot of social media descriptions have a cap, so you can’t write past a certain amount of characters. Write something that’s succinct and will help push you toward your goals. Especially now, try to make something that’s memorable beyond “Father. Coffee lover. Hiker. Mountaineer.” Everyone is doing that, so if you’re doing anything different, you’re in good shape.Aaron: The formula I use for my Twitter bio is what I do and what I want to do for you, the person reading. My Twitter bio is simply, “Audio engineer/podcast editor for the seanwes network. I want to help you make an awesome podcast.”Cory: Mine is, “Director of Member Success at seanwes. Podcast host of Invisible Details. Author of Nice-to-Have, currently writing.” It depends on what your goals are. I want my Twitter to be a place where people can get access to me and the content is not in the description, the content is in the timeline.That’s where I want people’s eyes to look. I don’t want to be clever, I want a bullet point credential. That’s how I’m using it. Figure out what your goal is, what the goal of your social media account is, and what the goal of your description is. Then, condense that in a way that provides you some kind of credibility and people will continue going down the timeline.No one is going to care on Twitter unless they’ve gotten some kind of value on your timeline, whether it’s entertainment, practical, etc. They’re going to go to your timeline first and then they’ll want to know about you. I use my bio as a tiny about page related to what it is I’m posting.Aaron: You’ll get more followers if you include what you want to do for other people in your bio.Cory: Kyle Adams has a great one, “Icon designer intent on communicating in profound ways and helping others do the same.”Aaron: Jeremy Mura has a good one too, “Designer and illustrator. Teaching others what I know and helping people design a life of greatness.”When I look at someone’s bio, I’m wondering, “Why should I follow this person?” Your bio is your chance to convince me to follow you. If I’m not already convinced, I don’t know you, and you don’t already have a huge audience advocating for you, and you don’t tell me what you want to do for me, I probably won’t follow you.Your bio is a chance to convince people they’ll get something out of following you.Huge thanks to Cory Miller for joining me today.

Stephanie is the Director of Member Success at Fizzle. With a background in training, coaching and executive leadership at Groupon, she launched a career coaching business designed for ambitious young women. She recently joined Fizzle's team as she strives to help even more people uncover their true talents & grab ahold of the lives they desire.
Steph is a go-getter lady boss who has found some serious success, first within the corporate world, and even more-so outside of it. She knew there was something more after attaining the impressive position of Head of Sales Training and Development at Groupon, at the age of 26. While in that position, Steph created her own coaching business, Miss Corner Office, and has most recently found herself in the position of FizzleCo’s Director of Member Success. FizzleCo is an online business training community for entrepreneurs. Here’s what we talk about: Steph starts by sharing her story after college and how she knew there had to be more out there We talk about how she started her career coaching business Miss Corner Office Steph’s introduction to Fizzle.co and how she created the life that she has always wanted Exiting Corporate America and the 6th month window to leaving Letting go of the money and ego and challenging your identity Excuses we make to protect ourselves and limiting beliefs “Deep down, I think I just knew that corporate was not going to work for me” “I could not get past the idea that I would never be in control of my schedule 5 out of 7 days of the week.” “I felt like I was on this desperate hunt for an alternative lifestyle” “I just sat in my car and I was like ‘I can do this! If they can do that, why can’t I do it?’” Once you start challenging your career you start challenging everything else in your life “If you really do want something […] Once you decide and really believe that you can do that and focus on it, I think your mind opens up to different possibilities.” “I’m going to find the right thing for me that allows me to live the kind of life that I want.” “I was still feeling like I was showing up some place, not necessarily doing my life’s work, and trying to live my ‘best’ life in the margins.” From an ego perspective, the tank was definitely full, but from an intuitive perspective, my heart, and passion – that part just didn’t necessarily feel right. “I wanted to find the type of work that made me feel like I wanted to be in it for the long haul.” “I couldn’t have known if it was going to turn out the way that it did, but it was worth taking the risk.” “If you really want to design your life, you can find a way to make those tradeoffs and make it happen.” Book Recommendation: Daring Greatly – Brene Brown [Connect with Steph: at Fizzle.co, Twitter, Instagram (stephcrowder_)] Resources from This Episode: Thefoxandshe.com The Lively Show (Jess Lively) Smart Passive Income (Pat Flynn) JessLively.com/feelinglost Tune in more to hear Steph's story and how she did it her way!
