The power of consistency, community, and time management with Christina Leopold from Addicted to Dates. ----- Welcome to episode 519 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Christina Leopold from Addicted to Dates. How Christina Leopold of Addicted to Dates Turned Content into Community and Hit 550K Followers This week's episode dives deep into the journey of food blogger Christina Leopold, who built and scaled her brand, Addicted to Dates. Her story is packed with gold for anyone looking to grow their online gig. One of the biggest takeaways? Consistency is key, but working smarter with your content is essential for staying sane. Christina also spills the tea on turning her passion into a full-time hustle. She had to get down to business with things like SEO and figuring out how to make money. Plus, she emphasizes the power of knowing your worth and when to bring in some extra hands. Finally, we chat about the importance of connecting with your community and fellow creators. It's all about building those authentic relationships and learning from each other! Three episode takeaways: Consistency and repurposing are your best friends: Christina's journey highlights that showing up regularly (like her daily posts for years!) is huge. To maintain your sanity, you'll have to get smart about your content – think repurposing and making the most out of what you create (like turning one recipe into a bunch of posts). Treat your blog like a business (because it is!): Making the leap to full-time meant learning about SEO, monetization, and how to manage her time like a boss. Hiring help, tracking analytics, and creating systems (like batching recipe posts) gave her more space to focus on the creative stuff she loves. How connections can fuel growth: From community support to brand partnerships, Christina emphasizes the power of real connections. Engaging with others has opened doors to brand collaborations, steady income, and long-term growth.

On today's episode, we once again dive into a movie that was maybe not as well known as it should've been, but to those who have seen it, it is a revered classic. This movie includes three Oscar winners and gives us one of our favorite reoccurring versions of Brendan Frazer- a fish out of water. What would it really be like to emerge into the world after 35 years in a bunker? Did Adam ever, ya know, do the thing we do when we are alone sometimes? Why was Eve such a bitch?

Join me in cracking the code on lasting habits! Learn the real science behind forming habits and why many of us set ambitious goals for new habits like eating healthier, hitting the gym, or meditating daily. And just as often, frustration kicks in after the initial excitement fades, and we fail to stick with it.There's a scientific reason for this! You've heard the 21-day spiel, but let's get real – habits aren't born in two or three weeks. It takes a minimum of 21 days, and the sweet spot? Around 66 days.I'll walk you through the three phases of habit development – destruction, confusion, and integration. No quick fixes here; it's a journey, not a sprint. Success isn't sexy, but once you grasp the science, it's more doable than you think.And if you tune in until then end, you'll learn my #1 secret to forming these lasting habits.

Customer service is everything for most businesses that last the distance. Our customer loyalty to a brand or business leader can be shaped by our experiences every day and sometimes our feedback is heard, noted, and more importantly positively acted upon, and sometimes, well it is not and the results can mean the end of the road for that business if that is a recurrent theme. After all there is always another airline to fly, another makeup brand to use or another car we COULD buy. My guest today is Winston Tu, the Founder and CEO of Luxo Living, Australia's leading online boutique furniture store. A trailblazer in the e-commerce sector, Winston has been selling products online since 1999, before the arrival of Ebay in Australia. Winston was an early facilitator of ground-breaking customer-service tools including built-in shipping platforms, which saw Luxo Living save over $300,000 within the first year. As he commemorates 21 years at the helm, Winston has grown Luxo Living into a leading online retailer that boasts an annual turnover of $22million. Luxo Living offers impeccably made, comfortable home styling pieces at an attractive price point. The brand has used its customer complaints as avenues to pinpoint areas of growth, allowing it to compete against top brand names within the Australian market such as Amazon, Catch.com.au and Temple & Webster. We discuss: Customer feedback and customer service are interlinked – what is your view of each as a valuable way to manage your business (or essentially any business)? Is the customer always right? Customer complaints can offer ways to unravel pain points and make some decisions faster such as what stock to carry or delete and also how to do better for more customers. With online sales now such a mainstay for many products and services, is that harder or easier than ever? What systems are needed for excellent customer feedback to actually drive change? Take away: What is your final takeaway message for us on The Politics of Customer Feedback?

Tel K. Ganesan is a self-made serial entrepreneur, engaging public speaker, philanthropist, mentor, film producer, and world traveller with a globally recognized reputation across multiple industries. He currently serves as Founder/CEO of multiple thriving enterprises, including Kyyba, Inc. - a Michigan-headquartered global IT company with over 700 employees and millions in annual revenue - Kyyba Films, Kyyba Wellness, Kyyba Innovations, Kyyba Fashions, and Kyyba Music. Infectious enthusiasm and courageous determination power his drive to do what others are afraid to do as he blazes a trail for the next generation of entrepreneurs with a simple secret to success: do what makes you happy. Ganesan earned a Mechanical Engineering degree from Wayne State University before getting his start at the Chrysler Corporation. Over 13 years, he earned multiple awards and promotions in manufacturing and product development. The desire to make a bigger impact and build something of his own then took Ganesan in the direction of entrepreneurship with the establishment of Kyyba, Inc. Ganesan is fuelled by a belief that entrepreneurs make the world a better place for everyone, founding TiECon Detroit - the largest entrepreneurial conference in Michigan. Today, TiE boasts over 56 chapters in at least 13 countries, with a specific focus on supporting women in male-dominated industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and financial services. Additionally, the Kyyba Kidz Foundation uplifts underprivileged women and orphans, providing vital education, skills, and on-the-job training opportunities. Over a 30-year career, Ganesan's ground-breaking work has earned him consistent national recognition, including: Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year finalist (2012, 2013, 2014) and a place among D Business Magazine's “Detroit 500” most powerful business leaders. On any given weekday morning, Ganesan can be found in deep meditation and yoga poses before heading into his business ventures. He actively “levels up his comfort zone” with tennis, kayaking, and traveling to new places. After everything he has worked hard to achieve, Ganesan is still convinced that his biggest potential is yet to be realized, and he works hard daily to push the limits of what's possible synonymous with the tagline of Kyyba, make impossible, possible. We discuss: The term ‘comfort zone' is firmly embedded in our everyday cultural discourse – say the metaphor of ‘leaving one's comfort zone' became popular in the 1990s, coined by management thinker Judith Bardwick in her 1991 work Danger in the Comfort Zone: How do you define a comfort zone and surely it varies depending on your risk appetite? Please explain your view and why. Within the comfort zone, there isn't much incentive for people to reach new heights of performance. It's here that people go about routines devoid of risk, causing their progress to plateau. Is that always a bad thing? Can you enhance your own sense of comfort zones and how do you push that beyond your basic level of comfort? How can we make the impossible seem possible and still remain balanced in how we live our lives and not say burnout?

Steve Hui was one of my early guests on this podcast back in 2018. How our experience of business, life, and travel has changed in four years. I wanted to invite Steve back as a refresher of how our experience as a society has evolved, for better or worse maybe, in a world battered by Covid19 and all the border closure pain that has plagued the airline sector. Airlines are posting record losses as we enter year three of the pandemic but also, lost experienced staff due to layoffs and restructures. Many of us just want to fly and not expect extensive airport delays or endless flight changes to do so. A recap of who is Steve is probably in order. For over 17 years, Steve applied his skills solving complex problems in senior finance roles in corporations including Macquarie Bank but made the brave move to leave the corporate world to start his own business inspired by his innovative thinking, his passion for travel and a burning desire to optimise things. Steve is a CPA and holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of New South Wales. Then a new business idea evolved. It all started when he flew for the very first time in business class over 14 years ago on a business trip, and he was hooked. Since then, he has religiously researched and tested his knowledge in extracting the best ways to maximise the points to fly (and ideally fly business class). Established in 2012, iFLYflat is the leader in reward points management. They are the experts in Points Advice and Flight Bookings. iFLYflat provides a fully managed service helping businesses and individuals to uncover the true value of their airline and credit card points. So let's explore what that looks like in late 2022 including: How did iFLYflat survive and maybe even thrive in the past few years when the pandemic changed travel in many ways for a very long time? How have flyer points programs you work with changed and is that better or worse for most travellers? How can we maximise our flyer points if we travel less now that say Zoom meetings replaced a lot of business travel in particular? How else have reward programs had to create more value that we may not be aware of? Take away: What is your final takeaway message for us on The NEW Politics of Flyer Points?
