In dieser Folge spiele ich eine echte Voice-Nachricht ab, die ich von einem Unternehmer bekommen habe. Brutal ehrlich, ungeschönt und genau das, was viele Selbstständige gerade denken, aber nicht aussprechen.Es geht um Zeit, Druck, Umsatz und um diesen einen gefährlichen Satz: Wir können gerade keinen Podcast starten, weil wir erst unser skalierbares Produkt fertig bauen müssen.Klingt logisch. Ist aber meistens der Grund, warum Menschen im Hamsterrad bleiben.Ich zerlege in dieser Folge die vier häufigsten Einwände gegen den Podcast-Start. Keine Zeit, kein fertiges Produkt, der Geschäftspartner ist noch nicht so weit und das Geld sitzt emotional zu fest. Und ich zeige dir, warum genau diese Einwände das Symptom sind, das du eigentlich lösen musst.Du erfährst, wie ein Podcast nicht als zusätzliches To-Do funktioniert, sondern als Business-System. Als Pre-Sales-Maschine. Als Produktentwicklungstool. Als Markterziehung. Und warum dein skalierbares Produkt ohne Vertrauen, Nachfrage und vorbereiteten Markt nur ein PDF mit Hoffnung ist.Wenn du gerade von morgens bis abends coachst und dich fragst, wann du endlich aus dem Hamsterrad rauskommst, ist diese Folge für dich. Und wenn du seit Jahren sagst "wir machen das später", dann erst recht.Mein Name ist Florian Schartner und ich baue mit Podmark seit 2017 Podcast- und YouTube-Systeme für Selbstständige und Unternehmen im DACH-Raum.

This episode is sponsored by Airia. Get started today at airia.com. Saleema Amershi is a Partner Research Manager at Microsoft Research AI Frontiers, where she leads the teams behind AutoGen and Magentic-One. She joins the AI Inside podcast to discuss what happens when AI agents stop working in isolation and start collaborating, transacting, and negotiating with each other at scale. We cover the challenges of multi-agent orchestration, why current frontier models show a dangerous first-proposal bias that favors speed over quality, and how her team built the Magentic Marketplace to simulate agent-to-agent commerce. We also dig into agent manipulation, the tension between walled gardens and open ecosystems, and what duty of care means when an AI is acting on your behalf. Note: Time codes subject to change depending on dynamic ad insertion by the distributor. Chapters: 0:00 - Podcast Start 01:46 - Introduce Saleema Amershi 0:02:04 - Talk about the challenges surrounding the orchestration of these agents together. And what limits this collaboration today, is it a technical limitation or something deeper? 0:05:10 - OpenClaw perspectives 0:06:42 - From your research, why would these projects fall apart? And actually, are companies setting themselves up for failure by moving too fast? 0:07:53 - What IS Magentic AI 0:12:16 - Collaboration between humans, AI and the agents. 0:18:45 - Agents eliminate the scarcity of attention 0:20:04 - You found that these frontier models that we're often told are ready to handle complex tasks like these were getting stunted by too many choices. They were showing a strong bias toward whatever option showed up first regardless of the quality. So, what's going on there? 0:24:07 - The first-proposal bias 0:33:25 - You co-published 18 guidelines for human-AI interaction back in 2019. When you look at those original guidelines through the lens of what you're working on today, what still holds up and what could you not have anticipated back then? 0:36:58 - What are the lessons for marketers and sellers?

TRAUMA-INFORMED SELF CARE: TINY HABITS FOR BIG EMOTIONAL SHIFTS IN NUTRITON, FITNESS AND MENTAL HEALTH starts on 9/25. Lisa is joined by Paul Conti, MD who talks about his book, Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic: How Trauma Works and How We Can Heal From It.Paul Conti, MD, is a graduate of Stanford University School of Medicine. He completed his psychiatry training at Stanford and at Harvard, where he was appointed chief resident. He then served on the medical faculty at Harvard before moving to Portland, Oregon, and founding a clinic. Dr. Conti serves patients and clients throughout the United States and internationally, including the executive leadership of large corporations. He specializes in complex assessment and problem-solving, as well as both health and performance optimization. For more info, https://www.pacificpremiergroup.comBook description: A Journey Toward Understanding, Active Treatment, and Societal Prevention of TraumaImagine, if you will, a disease―one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice, one that transfers easily between parent and child, one that can last a lifetime if untreated. According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should conceptualize trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis.In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper and more urgent view of trauma. Not only does Dr. Conti explain how trauma affects the body and mind, he also demonstrates that trauma is transmissible among close family and friends, as well as across generations and within vast demographic groups.With all this in mind, Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic proposes a course of treatment for the seemingly untreatable. Here, Dr. Conti traces a step-by-step series of concrete changes that we can make both as individuals and as a society to alleviate trauma's effects and prevent further traumatization in the future.You will discover:• The different post-trauma syndromes, how they are classified, and their common symptoms• An examination of how for-profit health care systems can inhibit diagnosis and treatment of trauma• How social crises and political turmoil encourage the spread of group trauma• Methods for confronting and managing your fears as they arise in the moment• How trauma disrupts mental processes such as memory, emotional regulation, and logical decision-making• The argument for a renewed humanist social commitment to mental health and wellnessIt's only when we understand how a disease spreads and is sustained that we are able to create its ultimate cure. With Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti reveals that what we once considered a lifelong, unbeatable mental illness is both treatable and preventable.

This week, we're talking about a topic that often gets overlooked but is crucial for your blog's success—the Sidebar. But before we jump into optimizing that little widget on the right-hand side of your blog, let's talk briefly about some big news in the digital world. Google recently lost a significant lawsuit declaring them to be a monopoly, which could bring about major changes in the online landscape over the next few years. While the exact impact on our blog traffic remains to be seen, this shakeup could create new opportunities for other search engines like Search GPT, Bing, and DuckDuckGo to gain traction. This could mean more eyeballs on your posts and more chances to be discovered. Why Your Sidebar Matters More Than You Think Now, let's shift our focus to something more within our control—your blog's Sidebar. If you're like me, you might not have paid much attention to it since you first installed your latest theme. However, the Sidebar is a critical part of your blog's user experience and can greatly impact your site's performance. I used to have an author box, an email opt-in, and even my Pinterest feed over there, thinking it was a good way to engage readers. But after learning from experts like Brandon Gailey from the Blogging Millionaire Podcast, I realized I was making some big mistakes. The Sidebar should be optimized for performance and conversions. First, make sure your Sidebar is on the right-hand side of your blog—this is crucial for user navigation and site speed. Avoid cluttering it with social media plugins that slow down your page. Instead, focus on your lowest hanging fruit: your email opt-in or freebie offer, followed by a widget displaying your latest 10 to 15 posts. This setup not only improves user engagement but also helps with internal linking, which can boost your Google rankings. Key Takeaways for a Clean and Effective Sidebar To sum it up, your Sidebar should be clean, concise, and strategically designed to promote your content and products. Start with your most important opt-ins at the top, followed by recent posts, and finish with higher-ticket items like courses or memberships. If you don't have your own products yet, consider placing affiliate links—but remember to keep images minimal and optimized to avoid slowing down your site. A well-optimized Sidebar can make a huge difference in how visitors interact with your blog and how search engines rank your site. I hope these tips help you rethink and revamp your Sidebar. It's a small part of your blog, but when done right, it can have a big impact. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode156 Links and resources mentioned during this episode: 155 | Search GPT: Boost Your Blog's Visibility with These Essential Tips Brandon Gaille's Blogging Millionaire Podcast: Link to Podcast Start a Blog: Blog Kickstart 2024 Content Planner Creatives On Fire™️ Content Planner SUBSCRIBE AND REVIEW I am honored to share a new Blogging Creative on Fire each week on the podcast to bring you inspiration, behind-the-scenes secrets, and quality tips.

Kevin Williams is on the podcast today to talk about his entrepreneurial journey. From founding brands like Brush Hero to appearing on Shark Tank and finally, to diving deep into AI, we cover the lessons that he's learned through each brand and venture. Kevin Williams is the founder of MadBrains AI, a company that specializes in AI literacy and training. With an extensive background in ecommerce, Kevin consistently provides practical tips to digital marketers on how to leverage AI for their brands. Kevin and I met quite a while back in 2015, where Kevin held a presentation on the importance of product validation before marketing, and that's when I had an epiphany — if no one is interested in your product before you go to sell, it's not worth it. After years of friendship, I've decided to get him on to catch up with him and get a background of his experience as an entrepreneur. Here's some timestamps: Timestamps: Podcast Start - 0:00 Mike's Reason for Getting Friends on the Podcast - 0:30 Kevin's Product Validation Presentation and Business Model - 1:30 Traffic is 4x more expensive now - 2:44 Kevin's Patent Concept - 4:17 The Origins of Brush Hero - 6:28 Importance of Storytelling - 7:26 How Counterfeits Destroyed Brush Hero - 8:41 Being CEO of Balls.co - 11:48 "What happened to Balls.co?" - 13:59 Diving into AI - 20:14 "What's one thing that I should have asked?" - 28:26 If you're in a hurry, I've listed a few of the big takeaways I personally found to be the most impactful: Traffic is so way more expensive now. In 2015, it would cost 25c - 50c to buy traffic on Facebook Ads. Currently, it costs $3-$4 to buy traffic. If you want to start buying ads, it might be more cost-efficient to use a cheaper social networks like TikTok. Being granted a patent is a bucket list item for most tinkerers and engineers. However, a lot of people don't go beyond that point. Partnering with a patent holder can be a good way to find products to sell on Amazon. Storytelling boils down to three main points: Man - your brand or product Mountain - the big problem Getting Over Mountain - how your product solves your problem Online reviews have a big impact on offline sales. If your product is available in a brick and mortar store, shoppers will normally try to price-match by checking your product on Amazon and they'll run into your negative reviews. Running a business that's based overseas while having staff that's based in a separate country can be very physically and mentally taxing. Getting shadowbanned on your advertising account is more common than you think. It's a term that describes getting really poor performance on your advertising account, without explicit notice from the platform. Balls.co suffered from their success in the influencer marketing. After receiving a lot of traffic from their influencer marketing, they were starting to be seen as an entertainment company instead of a product company. This meant that they werent getting much sales from their marketing efforts. All of the Fortune 10,000 companies are concerned about the implications of AI, but only 5% of them have training in place. You should be leveraging AI to automate customer service. There is no reason for you to be doing first-contact customer service anymore as a business owner and AI can make this a lot easier for you. Taking the previous point a step further, you can use AI to sift through previous chatlogs, emails and reviews for practical information that you can use in your marketing, customer service and product development. You need to be checking your SEO and keyword rankings almost daily. AI generated content is really finnicky as of now, and it can affect your keyword rankings on Google by a huge margin. Kevin, thanks for coming on the podcast! It was nice seeing you again, and I hope our paths cross again before the next eCommerceFuel Live. If any listeners would like to have a discussion about this, let me know by emailing us directly at support@ecomcrew.com. You can find Kevin on LinkedIn, where he publishes practical AI tips every week. You can also find him through his company MadBrains. Thanks for coming on to the podcast Kevin! Also, if you have any questions or any topics you'd like us to discuss on the podcast, you can email us directly as well! We would really appreciate it if you would leave us a review on iTunes. Thanks for listening!
Jeff Oxford joins us on the podcast today to talk about the most recent Google Update, who the winners were, and how search is going to look like with AI in the horizon. Jeff Oxford is the Founder and SEO Director of 180 Marketing, a marketing agency that specialises in SEO strategies which cover everything from keyword research to webpage optimization. Today, he's on the podcast to talk about the most recent Google update that happened in March. Specifically, we'll dive into the criteria that Google uses to rank websites, the winners of the most recent update, and why brand metrics plays an important role in search. The big takeaway here is that no matter what, keep playing the long game.

Dana Jaunzemis joins the EcomCrew podcast today to talk about how she evaluated businesses before purchasing them, why she chose to sell her businesses, and ultimately chose to retire. Dana Jaunzemis and I met for the first time years ago during my eCommerce speaking circuit and has since become a great friend of mine. She's the killer combination of having a really interesting background, while also being incredibly intellectual business-wise and philosophically too. She's been a good friend that's always been helpful when I've run into troubles of my own, especially those regarding burnout, identity and the end goal as an entrepreneur. Today, I wanted to pick her brains on the podcast about what it's like to have been recently retired from eCommerce, how she still finds a sense of fulfilment and the factors she considers before buying a business, which may or may not have been on my mind lately. "E-commerce, while easy, is the highest risk type of business [in my opinion]." - Dana Jaunzemis Timestamps: 0:00 - Podcast Start 0:31 - Introduction 2:49 - Dana's Career Timeline 4:54 - The Appeal of E-Commerce for Introverts 6:28 - Is E-Commerce Difficult? 9:19 - The Difference Between Successful and Failing Businesses 11:44 - How lessons in life can apply to your future 15:40 - Factors to Consider When Buying A Business 16:31 - Factor #1: Profitability 16:46 - Factor #2: Where Your Skillset Fits In 24:24 - Why Dana chose to sell her business 30:01 - Risks of e-commerce 31:41 - Factor #3: Inventory Costs 34:19 - Finding Fulfilment in Retirement 38:14 - Knowing when 'enough' is enough 41:53 - Moving Goalposts 46:30 - What was it like buying a business with friends?
