After a decade of watching platforms rise and fall, trends come and go, and algorithms work against creators, Kelly is breaking down Substack, the platform she didn't expect to love. In this episode, Kelly shares why Substack has quickly become one of the most exciting platforms she's seen for thought leaders, authors, and entrepreneurs who want to monetize depth, not trends. You'll hear the numbers that caught her attention, why smaller audiences are outperforming massive followings, and how Substack creates a rare combination of trust, reach, and ownership that most platforms no longer offer. Kelly also explains how she's using Substack to: Create momentum for her upcoming book, The Sacred Art of Selling Build a passive income stream managed entirely by her team Repurpose years of intellectual property without adding more work Go deeper into thought leadership without diluting core programs If you create long-form content, have years of IP sitting unused, or want a platform that rewards trust over aesthetics, this episode will open your eyes to a different way forward.

Natalie Battaglia teaches us simple and sustainable Instagram growth strategies that attract loyal followers without burnout. Natalie Battaglia is the founder of The Mindful Mocktail, a blog and Instagram community dedicated to helping people celebrate without alcohol. What began as a way to share simple, beautiful mocktails has grown into a global destination for wellness-inspired drinks that anyone can make at home. Through her website, social channels, and book The Mindful Mocktail, Nat inspires people to drink mindfully, explore new flavors, and find joy in the ritual of making a beautiful drink. If you are tired of shouting into the Instagram void, this conversation will feel like oxygen. Natalie breaks down the exact behaviors that helped her build a global brand, including the five minute reel that brought in more than two hundred thousand followers. She offers clear, doable strategies for retention, repurposing, analytics, and building true community so you can grow with intention instead of pressure. Key points discussed include: Create for the people already watching: Learn how to connect deeply with your audience so your content lands and keeps landing. Use compilations to attract new followers: Discover why short, punchy highlight reels are powerful growth machines. Retention drives the algorithm: You will understand exactly why watch time outweighs likes and how to optimize for it. Repurpose with intention: Save your best visuals, build quick compilations, and grow without reinventing the wheel. Analytics are your creative compass: Let your retention and skip rates tell you what to make next instead of guessing. Trending audio still matters: Use audio strategically and early to ride momentum rather than chase it. Caption writing is storytelling: Craft a strong first line that acts like a hook and earns the next tap. Quality beats quantity: Posting frequency and why two solid pieces a week can outperform daily content. Connect with Natalie Battaglia Website | Instagram

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, host Dane Carlson sits down with John Loyack of the North Carolina Community College System to unpack what “workforce development” looks like when you're the person who gets the call the day after the ribbon cutting asking where the next 500–5,000 workers will come from—and how North Carolina answers that question through four major tools: NC Edge customized training, ApprenticeshipNC, the Bio Network (now stretching from life sciences into food/beverage and natural products), and a small business center network embedded across 58 community colleges, all while pushing for tighter collaboration so employers experience one connected system instead of disconnected silos. Like this show? Please leave us a review here (https://econdevshow.com/rate-this-podcast/) — even one sentence helps! 10 Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Treat workforce development as core infrastructure, not a support function. Engage community colleges early, not after a project announcement. Promote customized training programs aggressively to prospects and existing employers. Use pre-hire assessments to reduce employer risk on major projects. Encourage employers, even competitors, to collaborate on shared talent needs. Leverage apprenticeship programs beyond manufacturing into healthcare, construction, and trades. Think regionally, not jurisdiction by jurisdiction, when building talent pipelines. Repurpose successful training models across industries where skills overlap. Break down silos between workforce, small business, and economic development teams. Communicate these resources constantly because most businesses do not know they exist. Special Guest: John Loyack.
Steve Benson is the Founder and CEO of Badger Maps, a leading route-planning and mapping platform built specifically for field sales teams. With a background in geography, an MBA, and experience at companies like IBM, HP, and Google, Steve combined his expertise in mapping and sales strategy to help outside sales professionals work smarter, not harder. His mission is to eliminate wasted time in the field so salespeople can focus on what truly matters, building relationships and creating value for customers.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of the Selling from the Heart Podcast, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Steve Benson, Founder and CEO of Badger Maps. The conversation explores how field sales professionals can dramatically improve productivity by optimizing routes, planning ahead, and eliminating inefficiencies. Steve shares practical insights on how technology can support—not replace—authentic, relationship-driven selling. This episode highlights how reclaiming wasted time allows sales professionals to spend more meaningful time with customers, deepen trust, and drive stronger results.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe Human Element: Sales is fundamentally a human interaction rooted in authenticity and trust—technology should enable, not replace, this.Leverage Efficiency Tools: Utilize efficiency tools, like route planners and virtual assistants, to handle logistical tasks, freeing the salesperson to focus exclusively on building relationships.Route Planning is Power: Optimizing routes and planning customer visits can save significant hours each week for field sales teams, directly impacting time-to-revenue.Focus on the Core: Cutting out distractions and concentrating on real customer conversations and value creation leads directly to better sales results.Repurpose Wasted Time: Regularly assess and repurpose time spent on low-value tasks (like driving or scheduling) into high-value activities, such as meeting more clients or performing account research.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESSales is as old as civilization… this is a very human interaction.If you just focus on how am I going to create value for this person… that's all sales is.It's a noisy world… people's guard is generally up, and they are generally suspicious of things.Repurpose your time… if you could repurpose three hours a day into seeing another customer, that's 15 hours a week. Something tells me you'd grow sales, build more trust, and grow client relationships a whole lot more.
In this episode Brad puts me in the hot seat to break down how I actually use podcasting as a relationship engine, a content machine, and a long-game business strategy. We talk consistency, guests, gear, distribution, and why downloads don't matter nearly as much as people think.Key Highlights:- Podcasting is a mindset, not a metric:It's about relationships, reps, and distribution — not downloads.- Stop worrying about saturation:There isn't your podcast yet. That's the only one missing.- Consistency wins:I've released my Friday rant every week for 5+ years — no excuses.- 1,200+ episodes later…The show became my own mastermind, business school, and network builder.- Best guests aren't the "big names.":My highest-performing episode was a first-time guest with a powerful story.- Ask questions others don't:Look for what lights your guest up, not just what they're known for.- Start simple:Cheap mic, basic webcam, Zoom/Riverside — and launch with 10 episodes ready.- Repurpose everything:One episode becomes clips, emails, blogs, YouTube — a full content ecosystem.- Let the first 35 episodes teach you:The show evolves. Don't force a niche too early.- Podcasting grows your business indirectly:Warm relationships - cold DMs. Clients often come months later.If you liked this episode, share it with someone sitting on the fence about starting a podcast. Consistency compounds — hit record and show up.

Meanwhile, the F and M lines have swapped East River tunnels, causing significant delays on the F line after a switch failure at 53rd Street. Mamdani is also issuing a new Know Your Rights message in response to recent ICE activity. In Manhattan, a progressive public school long known by the acronym ICE is rebranding because of the political climate. And finally, with the MetroCard set to disappear, New Yorkers are finding creative ways to repurpose their old cards.

Podcasting is intimate, bingeable, and evergreen. 3. Why a Podcast Works for You (Even When You're Offline) Record once. Repurpose everywhere. 4. Consistent Visibility Without Algorithm Stress Listeners subscribe → you show up automatically. No reach battles. No guessing games. Just steady visibility and trust building. 5. Podcasting Converts Better Than Any Other Channel Your episodes help ideal clients: Understand your story See your expertise Connect emotionally Trust you before they ever book a call Join your webinars Download your freebies Buy during launches Every episode warms your audience on autopilot. 6.

In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Gropper, CEO & Co-Founder of Repurpose, whose purpose-driven mission truly inspired me. From surviving a life-changing moped accident to questioning why we use forever-lasting materials for five-minute products, she shares how her passion for sustainability has turned into a movement to redesign everyday essentials from plants rather than plastic. What I loved most about this conversation is how honest she is about the realities of building sustainable products — the cost, the manufacturing challenges, the misconceptions, and the grit it takes to keep going. Her story is a reminder that with the right design, intention, and team, we can create healthier products for our homes and the planet. Key Moments From the Episode: * A near-fatal accident that reshaped her purpose and commitment to impact. * The flawed logic behind single-use plastics and the question that sparked a new approach. * How everyday products can be made from sugarcane fiber, cassava, corn, and bamboo. * The hard truth about sustainable manufacturing and why affordability is still a hurdle. * Tracking impact: over 700 million pieces of plastic replaced. If you care about better materials, planet-friendly innovation, or the real journey behind building a sustainable brand, join me, Ramon Vela, in listening to the episode.

Today on the show I get to chat with Amanda Marlowe! She guides thoughtful art experiences that ask kids life's big questions. She develops curriculum for nature non-profits schools, museums, and businesses. Amanda holds a BSA in Philosophy and Education from Skidmore College and is currently writing a children's book on death. Her business, Eco Art, is a thoughtful art experience on sustainability and impermanence for kids. A trash art offering designed to interact with the byproduct of creation. All bits and bobs upcycled. Materials supplied, though feel free to byot (bring your own trash)!Amanda shares how and why she began to work with children through the medium of upcycled art. It began really out of her own processing of her birth mother's death and a curiosity about what to do with her belongings. Our conversation touches on themes of grief, loss, letting go, and cycles of life. She also works with children who have lost a loved one, and works with a team of folks at Roula's Kids to support them through their grieving process. It feels important to mention that during our conversation, something opens up for me, and the tears began to flow. We left unresolved her resistance to the label artist, and are still unpacking what to do with the "shoulds" that surface from time to time. Clearly there's more for us to talk about. I could listen to her share her creative ideas for what to do with leftover toys and arts supplies for hours and am excited to try my hand at making paper!You can find her Mondays at CCE, High Meadow School and contact her for your kiddos special event or if you have items you think she might enjoy transforming with her clients.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross dives deep into embracing AI with clarity and direction rather than chaos and overwhelm. Rather than chasing trendy tools or piling on new software, Ross introduces the powerful AIM Framework—a proven model he's developed to help founders, marketers, and operators use AI with intentionality. AIM stands for Accelerate, Integrate, and Multiply. Whether you're a startup founder, marketer, or operator, this episode will help you cut through the AI noise, re-center your focus, and make AI a meaningful part of your business operations—without burning out or overengineering. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. The AI Trap vs. The AI Advantage - Most people and teams are experimenting with AI but lack a clear direction - Too many tools, not enough strategy—resulting in overwhelm and inefficiency - AI should be used as leverage, not decoration 2. The AIM Framework Overview - Accelerate — Ask: What's slowing you down that AI can speed up? — Time-saving use cases: email follow-ups, brainstorm facilitation, web research, document summarization — Pro Tip: Use AI not just to cut corners, but to build momentum - Integrate — Ask: Where does process friction slow down workflow and can AI resolve it? — Look for bottlenecks across marketing, sales, operations, and finance — Real-world scenarios: auto-updating sales decks, syncing spreadsheets, draft consistency, SOP standardization — Daily mantra: “Where is there friction, and can AI remove it?” - Multiply — Ask: What's already working well, and how can AI do more of that? — Repurpose top-performing assets using tools like Distribution.ai — Perform customer insights, expand reach, clone high performers — AI is best when compounding what already brings value Resources & Tools:
Hope isn't just a feeling. It's a practice—especially when life feels like a dumpster fire. In this episode, we get real about how to build hope (not wait for it) with psychologist, speaker, and author Dr. Julia Garcia—the mind behind The 5 Habits of Hope. She's a psychologist and keynote speaker who's built crisis hotlines, coached schools and leaders worldwide, and blends lived experience with research to turn The 5 Habits of Hope into practical, everyday tools. We unpack why hope is missing from our work, relationships, and world… and how to bring it back with five repeatable, no-BS habits: Reflect, Risk, Release, Receive, Repurpose. You'll hear practical prompts, what “emotional risk” actually looks like, and how to rally your people when you'd rather white-knuckle it alone. Bonus: Julia lovingly drags our community (in the best way) to go hit “Subscribe” on our new YouTube. Because support is a verb. We cover: The difference between reflecting vs. ruminating—plus the prompt: “I'm struggling because…” Why emotional risk (not skydiving) is the real courage builder—and how to do it safely A body-based “release” exercise to let go of performance, perfection, and pressure Receiving support without spiraling into “I should handle this myself” Repurposing tough feelings into fuel using the reframe: “I'm hopeful for…” How to set up “tap-in” systems with your people so you're never doing the hard alone Why hope isn't naive—it's a discipline that accelerates healing, connection, and action Because when we choose to practice hope—even on the days it feels impossible—we don't just change our outlook, we change what's possible for ourselves and everyone around us.

Repurposing isn't random. Or, at least, it shouldn't be. Last week, I shared about a repurposing VIP day client who knew exactly what content she wanted and needed repurposed in order to take time off for the holidays. Today, I want to share about a different client's experience with the repurposing VIP day. This client booked a VIP day but wasn't sure what content she actually wanted to have repurposed. So we worked together to determine her goals, and the long-form content she already had that would help lean into those goals. Afterwards, this is what she had to say: Having Amanda repurpose my content gave me the extra time I needed to focus on my clients and my family, which is extremely important to me during this season of life. It was so easy, too, with Amanda helping me choose which long-form pieces to use for this quarter based on the goals I had. Want a full behind the scenes peek behind the curtain?

Google Search Console (GSC) New! Branded and Non-Branded Queries + Annotation Filters | Marketing Talk with Favour Obasi-Ike | Sign up for exclusive SEO insights.This episode focuses on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and the new features within Google Search Console (GSC).Favour discuss the recently introduced brand queries and annotations features in GSC, highlighting their importance for understanding both branded and non-branded search behavior.The conversation also emphasizes the broader strategic use of GSC data, comparing it to a car's dashboard for website performance, and explores how this data can be leveraged to create valuable content, such as FAQ-based blog posts and multimedia assets, often with the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. A key theme is the shift from traditional keyword ranking to ranking for user experience and the interconnectedness of various digital tools in modern marketing strategy.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services?

Book a Complimentary SEO Discovery Call with Favour Obasi-Ike>> Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY Podcast--------------------------------------------------------------------------------As a content strategist, you live with a fundamental uncertainty. You create content you believe your audience needs, but a nagging question always remains: are you hitting the mark? It often feels like you're operating with a blind spot, focusing on concepts while, as the experts say, "you don't even know the intention behind why they're asking or searching."What if you could close that gap? What if your audience could tell you, explicitly, what they need you to create next?That's the paradigm shift happening right now inside Google Search Console (GSC). Long seen as a technical tool, recent updates are transforming GSC into a strategic command center. It's no longer just for SEO specialists; it's the dashboard for your entire content operation. These new developments are a game-changer, revealing direct intelligence from your audience that will change how you plan, create, and deliver content.Here are the five truths these new GSC features reveal—and how they give you a powerful competitive edge.1. Stop Driving Your Website Blind: The Dashboard AnalogyManaging a website without GSC is like driving a car without a dashboard. You're moving, but you have no idea how fast you're going or if you're about to run out of fuel. GSC is that free, indispensable dashboard providing direct intelligence straight from Google. But the analogy runs deeper. As one strategist put it, driving isn't passive: "when you're driving, you got to hit the gas, you got to... hit the brakes... when do you stop, when do you go, what do you tweak? Do you go to a pit stop?"You wouldn't drive your car without looking at the dashboard. So you shouldn't have a website and drive traffic and do all the things we do without looking at GSC, right?Your content strategy requires the same active management—knowing when to accelerate, when to pivot, and when to optimize. The new features make this "dashboard" more intuitive than ever, giving you the controls you need to navigate with precision.2. The Goldmine in Your Search Queries: Branded vs. Non-BrandedThe first game-changing update is the new "brand queries" filter. For the first time, GSC allows you to easily separate searches for your specific brand name (branded) from searches for the topics and solutions you offer (non-branded). This is the first step in a powerful new workflow: Discovery.Think of your non-branded queries as raw, unfiltered intelligence from your potential audience. These aren't just keywords; they're direct expressions of need. Instead of an abstract concept, you see tangible examples like:• “best practices for washing dishes”• “best pet shampoo”• “best Thanksgiving turkey meal”When you see more non-branded than branded queries, it's a powerful signal. It means you have access to a goldmine of raw material you can build content on to attract a wider audience that doesn't know your brand… yet. This isn't just data; it's a direct trigger for your next move.3. From Keyword to "Keynote": Creating Content with ContextOnce you've discovered this raw material, the next step is Development. This is where you transform an unstructured keyword into a strategic asset by adding structure and meaning. It's a progression: a raw keyword becomes a more defined keyphrase, which can be built into a keystone concept, and ultimately refined into a keynote.What's a keynote? Think about its real-world meaning: "when somebody sends you a note, it has context, right? It's supposed to mean something and it's supposed to say something specific." A keynote isn't just a search term; it's that term fully developed into a structured piece of content that delivers a specific, meaningful answer.This strategic asset can take many forms:• Blogs• Podcast episodes• Articles• Newsletters• Videos/Reels• eBooks4. The Most Underrated SEO Tactic: Your New Secret WeaponYou've discovered the query and developed it into a keynote. Now it's time for Execution. The single most effective format for executing on this strategy is one of the most powerful, yet underrated, SEO tactics in history: creating content around Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has fundamentally changed search behavior. People are asking full, conversational questions, and search engines are prioritizing direct, authoritative answers. A "one blog per FAQ" strategy is the perfect response. It's a secret weapon that's almost shockingly effective.FAQ is the new awesome the most awesome ever. I I said that on purpose.How awesome? By creating a single, targeted blog post for the long-tail question, "full roof replacement cost [city]," one site ranked number one on Google for that exact phrase in just 30 minutes. That's the power of directly answering a question your audience is already asking.5. It's Not About New Features, It's About New ActionsThe real purpose of these GSC updates isn't to give you more charts to observe; it's to prompt decisive action. Every non-branded query is a signal for what content to create next, feeding a powerful strategic loop that builds your authority over time.This is where it all comes together in a professional content framework. As the source material notes, "That's why you have content pillars and you have content clusters." Your non-branded queries show you what clusters your audience needs, and your FAQ-style "keynotes" become the assets that build out those clusters around your core content pillars.This data-driven approach empowers you to:• Recreate outdated content with new, relevant insights.• Repurpose core ideas into different formats to reach wider audiences.• Re-evaluate which topics are truly resonating.• Reemphasize your most valuable messages with fresh content.Conclusion: What Does Your Dashboard Say?Google Search Console is no longer just a reporting tool.

Real strength isn't flashy. It's earned through quiet discipline over time. The same goes for B2B marketing: sustainable growth comes from strong foundations, not sporadic wins.That's the lesson of Dr. Peter Attia, the longevity expert who reshaped how millions think about health. In this episode, we explore his B2B marketing parallels with the help of our special guest Ashley Sturm, VP of Marketing at Opengear.Together, we uncover what B2B marketers can learn from building strong systems behind every campaign, committing to a long-term content strategy, and meeting audiences where they are with multichannel storytelling.About our guest, Ashley SturmAshley Sturm is VP of Marketing at Opengear. Ashley is a marketing and strategy leader with more than 15 years of experience developing strategic marketing initiatives to increase brand affinity, shape the customer experience, and grow market share. Before joining Opengear, she served as the Vice President of Marketing at Nautilus Data Technologies. Prior to that, she served as the Senior Director of Marketing Brand and Content for NTT Global Data Centers Americas, spearheading marketing efforts to open two out of six data center campuses.Ashley has led global marketing through the startup of Vertiv's Global Data Center Solutions business unit, where she developed the unit's foundational messaging and established global and regional marketing teams. Ashley's career experience includes extensive work with the US Navy through the Clearinghouse for Military Family Readiness as well as broadcast journalism. A graduate of the University of Missouri's School of Journalism, Ashley specializes in journalism and converged media.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Dr. Peter Attia:Focus on strength in the unseen work. Just like Dr. Attia emphasizes strength in the eccentric phase of movement (the part no one sees), Ashley connects that to B2B marketing fundamentals. Campaigns fail when the foundation is weak. As she puts it: “[It's] not just the big flashy campaigns or the launches, it's about the control, the discipline, and the structure behind them.” By investing in process, frameworks, and messaging systems, brands build resilience and long-term performance. The lesson: don't obsess over launch day, obsess over what holds it all together.Commit to the slow burn strategy. Dr. Attia didn't explode overnight. He showed up for years through podcasts, long-form content, and thought leadership before publishing his book, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity. Ashley calls out the power of consistency over time, saying: “He committed to the slow burn… we're in this for the long haul.” In B2B, that translates to sticking with a point of view, consistently educating your market, and building credibility brick by brick. Thought leadership is earned, not launched, and trust compounds for brands that stay the course.Meet people on their terms. Dr. Attia doesn't rely on one channel or format. He scales his ideas across podcasts, books, YouTube tutorials, social clips, and deep science blogs. Ashley ties that directly to B2B content strategy: “Where are they gonna be? How do they wanna consume it? Let's make sure we've morphed the content to fit that medium.” Your buyers consume differently at different moments. Repurpose one core message into channel-native formats to reach them everywhere they are, not where you wish they were.Quote“Strength is built in the parts we sometimes overlook — the details, the structure, the lowering motion — that's where you build resilience. Whether in health or in business.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Ashley Sturm, VP of Marketing at Opengear[01:12] Why Dr. Peter Attia?[04:02] Role of VP of Marketing at Opengear[05:03] Deep Dive into Dr. Peter Attia's Work[11:23] B2B Marketing Lessons from Dr. Peter Attia[39:48] Building Authentic Content Strategies[45:57] Advice for Marketing Leaders[48:35] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Ashley on LinkedInLearn more about OpengearAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Podcast interview marketing is one of the fastest ways for health coaches to grow authority, expand reach, and attract right-fit clients—without living on social media.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Today we are going behind the scenes to talk about how to create engaging class lessons that keep students interested and make your counseling program run smoothly all year long. 1. How to Map Out Lessons for the Year Start by looking at your school calendar and noting upcoming dates, themes, and holidays. For example, October is Bullying Prevention Month, which is a great time to plan related lessons. Review your referral data and needs assessment responses to identify key areas of focus. Check what curriculum your school already uses, such as Second Step, and build from there. You can also base lessons around books to make topics more engaging. Planning tip: Repurpose content across multiple grade levels to save time and stay consistent. 2. How to Create Lessons Using a Simple Framework Use this five-step framework for 20–30 minute lessons: Icebreaker (5 minutes): Start with a fun, short activity to grab attention. Lesson (10 minutes): Teach the main concept or skill. Discussion (5 minutes): Have students talk in pairs, groups, or as a class. Reflect/Review: Leave time for students to write, draw, or journal about what they learned. Data Collection: Use quick self-assessments to measure understanding. Planning tip: Repurpose small group or individual activities by slightly modifying them for classroom use. 3. How to Get Creative Make lessons interactive by incorporating elements such as Scoot Games, Escape Rooms, Digital Game Shows, Breakout Groups, or PowerPoint and Google Slides presentations. These activities help reinforce learning and keep students engaged. 4. How to Engage Students with Movement Movement keeps students focused and helps with participation. Add movement to your icebreakers, activities, and discussions with ideas like: Sides of the room Simon Says Stand up and sit down Role play Charades Beach ball toss or jumbo discussion die By intentionally planning, getting creative, and incorporating movement, you can design classroom lessons that are fun, effective, and memorable.

Episode: Use AI to Uncover What Your B2B Audience Is Really AskingHost: Donna Peterson, Owner & President, World InnovatorsLength: 25:46Episode SummaryMost brands still publish first and pray later. In this episode, Donna shows a better path: start with the exact questions your audience is already asking, then use AI to surface, validate, and organize those questions into high-performing content across podcast, blog, email, social, and newsletters.You'll learn simple, practical ways to capture questions from trade shows, sales calls, customer service, and transcripts, then turn them into long-tail, low-competition topics your team can rank for and build trust with- especially for high-consideration B2B offers like industrial equipment, executive education, and auctions. Donna walks through a lightweight workflow using ChatGPT, AnswerThePublic/AlsoAsked, SEMrush, and Fathom to: (1) mine questions, (2) check search viability, (3) outline content, and (4) repurpose it- without losing your human voice. She closes with a weekly cadence you can actually stick to: one question, one pillar, many derivatives.Key Takeaways You Can Implement Right Away:Lead with questions, not products. Your buyer journey starts in a search box- mirror their wording.Go where questions happen. Trade shows, hallway chats, sessions, sales calls, support tickets, meeting transcripts.Use AI as an assistant, not an autopilot. Let AI help mine questions, draft outlines, and keep message consistency- then add your expertise and tone.Target long-tail intent. Prioritize specific, low-volume queries you can actually rank #1 for and win qualified demand.Centralize questions. Keep a shared sheet so podcast, blog, email, and social all build on the same weekly question.Repurpose by design. One question → podcast → blog → LinkedIn posts → email → monthly recap newsletter.Align with services. Choose questions that help, and map to what you sell- value plus relevance.Keep it simple.

Guest Bio Sam Ushio is the founder and Chief Ikigai Officer of Ikigai Lab, a social enterprise that blends ancient Japanese wisdom with modern science to help people and organizations align purpose with measurable impact. Drawing on two decades in corporate leadership and consulting, Sam's work focuses on human sustainability, values-based growth, and bringing humanity back into business. A former financial services executive, Sam experienced a pivotal moment that transformed his understanding of success—from financial growth to personal and purposeful growth. His family's story, rooted in Japan over a century ago, deeply shaped his worldview and introduced him to the authentic essence of Ikigai—the Japanese concept of a "reason for being." Through Ikigai Lab, Sam works with global brands and leaders to create cultures where people thrive through alignment of strengths, values, and daily actions. His frameworks integrate positive psychology, emotional intelligence, and ancient wisdom, inspiring people to live with awareness, gratitude, and intention every day. Sam is also the creator of the Ikigai Summit (soon to be rebranded as Repurpose), an annual event that explores how purpose-driven leadership can reshape organizations and communities for a more meaningful future. At his core, Sam believes purpose isn't a destination—it's a daily practice. His mission is to help others discover and live their Ikigai through the simple yet profound act of aligning who they are with how they live and lead. Summary In this conversation, Shannon Huffman Polson and Sam Ushio explore the concept of Ikigai, its origins, and its significance in personal and professional life. They discuss the importance of family legacy, personal growth, and the misunderstandings surrounding Ikigai, particularly the common four-circle Venn diagram. Sam shares his journey of discovering Ikigai through his family's history and emphasizes the need for gratitude, intentionality, and the integration of personal values in daily life. The discussion also touches on the impact of Ikigai on organizations and the importance of spirituality and rituals in Japanese culture. Takeaways Ikigai is a Japanese concept meaning 'reason for being'. Personal stories shape our understanding of purpose. Financial growth should not compromise personal growth. Gratitude and awareness are essential for a fulfilling life. Ikigai is about aligning daily actions with personal values. The four-circle Venn diagram is a common misunderstanding of Ikigai.

In this episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle, Alex Quin breaks down practical, actionable strategies to help both e-commerce and service-based businesses succeed during Black Friday. He emphasizes the importance of keeping offers simple—such as clear tiered discounts or urgency-based service upgrades—to reduce friction and improve conversions. Alex stresses that successful marketing goes beyond flashy ads; it's about preparation across your funnel, creative assets, and backend systems. From fast-loading product pages to tight onboarding flows and accurate CRM tracking, every part of the customer journey needs to be ready.He also dives into content strategy and ad execution, encouraging brands to repurpose their top-performing content from earlier in the year with updated Black Friday messaging. Volume matters—especially with Meta's new Andromeda update—so having multiple creatives pre-approved and scheduled can lower costs and reduce last-minute stress. Whether paid or organic, campaigns should be well-structured and tracked meticulously. The core message? Black Friday isn't about hype—it's about execution, efficiency, and data-driven decisions.Episode Outline: [00:00] Welcome Back: Alex thanks listeners and sets up the Black Friday topic [00:15] Importance of Simplicity: Easy-to-understand offers and discounts [00:45] Service Business Tips: Creating urgency with bonuses and intro deals [01:10] Creative Strategy: Bold visuals, testimonials, and multi-format content [01:45] Funnel Tips: Fast product pages, clean checkout, single-action landing pages [02:10] Backend Systems: Fulfillment, calendar space, CRM, and onboarding readiness [02:40] Financial Modeling: Know your margins, track all costs [03:05] Repurposing Content: Use your best-performing content with new Black Friday angles [03:30] Meta Update & Scheduling: More creatives = lower cost; schedule everything early [04:00] Post-Purchase & Tracking: Upsells, LTV, CRM follow-ups, and clean analytics [04:20] Final Thought: Black Friday is about preparation, not just hypeWisdom Nuggets:Simplicity Sells: Your offer should be instantly understandable. Whether it's tiered discounts or bundled services, remove friction—no mental math or coupon codes.Urgency Wins: Black Friday thrives on limited-time offers. Add urgency through countdowns, limited bonuses, or time-sensitive upgrades to drive faster conversions.Prep the Back End: A killer front-end campaign fails without backend support. From ecom fulfillment to service onboarding systems, preparation prevents revenue leaks.Repurpose to Scale: Your best content from earlier in the year is your blueprint. Reuse proven assets with Black Friday messaging instead of creating from scratch.Track Everything or Risk Everything: If your data is off, your scaling efforts will fail. Ensure all pixels, UTMs, and analytics are accurate before campaigns go live.Power Quotes“The key is simplicity. Customers should get it right away.” - Alex Quin“No guessing, no mental math, and no making them type in coupon codes.” - Alex QuinConnect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Our CommunityInstagram: (https://www.instagram.com/hustleinspireshustle)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/HustleInspires)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hustle-inspires-hustle)Website: (https://hustleinspireshustle.com)*This page may contain affiliate links or sponsored content.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross was interviewed by Rich Brooks to debunk the myth that content marketing ends when you press publish. Together, they explore the essential strategies behind effective content distribution, including Ross's powerful framework: Repurpose, Remix, and Reshare. From leveraging AI tools like Distribution.ai to embracing video in B2B content strategy, this conversation is packed with actionable insights to help your content reach the audience it deserves. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. The Real Work Starts After “Publish” - Publishing is not the final step—it's the starting line. - Measure not by how often you publish but by how many people you reach and engage. - Most content dies in obscurity because it's never distributed effectively. 2. What is Content Distribution, Really? - The process of ensuring your content is discovered by the right audience. - Requires deep audience and channel research to deliver content in the right format at the right place. - It's about strategy, not just amplification. 3. The Three R's Framework: Repurpose, Remix, Reshare - Repurpose: Turn one content asset (e.g. webinar) into blog posts, newsletters, eBooks. - Remix: Reformat – video into audio, cut clips for social media. - Reshare: Continuously circulate evergreen content; don't assume one post is enough. - Modernize and refresh content similar to how Disney reboots classic stories. 4. Should You Lead with Video, Audio, or Text? - Best: Video – it's the most repurposable and personal format, even in B2B. - Next: Audio – podcasting creates parasocial relationships and trust. - Last: Text – still valuable, but easier to fake and less engaging. - Embrace the format that aligns with your strength—but don't ignore video if you're serious about future visibility. 5. Using AI To Scale Content Distribution - AI is an accelerant: great marketers get greater, fast. - AI tools like Distribution.ai help apply your brand voice and create promotional content at scale. - Human review is still critical—AI is great, but human nuance still wins. 6. SEO Is Not Dead - "SEO is dead" is a myth. Search has evolved, not vanished. - Think beyond Google: people search on LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram. - Optimize for discovery wherever your audience is searching.
