What happens when Instagram expert Brock Johnson grills me about my favorite platform? A rapid-fire strategy session that turned into a full-blown Pinterest masterclass. Originally recorded for Brock's podcast Build Your Tribe, this convo was too good not to share (listen to the original episode here!). In this conversation, we flipped roles: he asked the questions, I dished out the tactics, and the feedback was fire! We heard things like: “This reignited the fire, I'm jumping back into Pinterest!” and “Instagram is burning me out, and this is exactly what I needed.” If you're tired of chasing trends and want your content to actually last, this BONUS crossover episode is for you. So if you're burned out on Instagram, tired of chasing trends, or just curious how to get more mileage out of your content, this episode is your Pinterest crash course. And if you're ready to learn more about Pinterest like right now, you missed my live masterclass but we've got it on demand for you, just head to http://www.teachmetopin.com!

If we could sit down together for a cup of coffee or a walk around the block, these are the exact questions I know you'd be asking: How do I grow an email list without a huge following? How do I launch something big, like a book, while navigating motherhood or a major life pivot? How do I turn my business into a rinse-and-repeat machine instead of reinventing the wheel every week? …Oh, and can we talk about sleep? Because I'm tired. You're tired. Let's fix that too. This Q+A episode is packed with real, raw, and super actionable advice from questions submitted by YOU: my community of doers, dreamers, and builders.

Feeling anxious about the economy or unsure how to take control of your financial life? You're not alone, and this episode is your toolkit. Haley Sacks, AKA Mrs. Dow Jones, is a self-made financial powerhouse who turned confusion into clarity and turned budgeting into a cultural movement. When she realized financial education felt like it was made by and for Wall Street bros, she set out to change that… and succeeded. Her latest creation, The Money Book 2.0, is a revolutionary, spreadsheet-based financial system that's already changed over 10,000 lives and counting. It's intuitive, secure, fun, and actually works! No clunky apps, no confusing spreadsheets, just results. In this conversation, we're digging into how to budget with confidence, why your spreadsheet might be sexier than your stock portfolio, and how to stop feeling behind when it comes to money… no matter what the headlines say.

Have you ever heard a story so raw, so real, that it physically stopped you in your tracks? The kind of story that makes you put down your to-do list, take a deep breath, and remember why you started this journey in the first place? May is National Small Business Month, and while I LOVE hearing from the headline-makers and household names, today is about something even more special: real stories from real listeners of this podcast. These are the kind of women who tune in while they're juggling kids and client calls, who build their dreams during nap time or after their 9-to-5. They may not have gone viral, but what they've built? It's powerful. It's personal. And it matters. Tonbra, Maris, and Chelle didn't just build businesses… They built something beautiful from heartbreak, identity shifts, and unimaginable challenges. From cancer diagnoses to grief to reinvention, these women turned their hardest chapters into platforms that now help others. If you're walking through your own hard chapter, or even just need a reminder of what's possible on the other side of pain, this one's for you. And hey, if you want to be part of this kind of community I'd love to invite you into the Goal Digger Podcast Insiders Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ Goal Digger Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ Goal Digger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/ Goal Digger Show Notes: https://www.jennakutcherblog.com/national-small-business-month-stories Thanks to our Goal Digger Sponsors: Get $25 off your first purchase at http://therealreal.com/goaldigger.

In a world that celebrates big milestones, loud announcements, and curated perfection, it's easy to forget that some of the most meaningful wins don't make it to the feed. They happen behind closed doors. They don't come with applause. They aren't always photogenic… but they are real. And they are enough. Today's episode is a deeply personal one. I'm pulling back the curtain on how my definition of success has changed over the years… How I'm still digging my biggest goals, but now it's in a way that aligns more with how I want to feel, not just how it all looks. Whether you're in a season of quiet growth, private healing, or just choosing to build a life that prioritizes peace over performance, I hope this episode feels like a soft place to land. Let's redefine what it means to win… even when no one else is watching. Ready? Click play!

EPISODE DESCRIPTION In this interview, Tyler Douglas of String and I sit down to talk about how automation rules used by shipping software like ShipStation end up costing small businesses more because the rules are not dynamic. The rules don't account for variable factors like rate changes in peak season. And this can cost your small business a pretty penny. SHOW NOTES Tyler walks us through the e-commerce shipping leg of the supply chain. We learn of how businesses typically select the package and carrier, how they obtain their shipping labels, and what works and does not work with software like ShipStation, ShipHero, Shippo, and EasyShip to name a few. Tyler details what makes String a perfect optimization tool that can help you get it right every single time, because it not only shops for the best rates, it also optimizes your package size. Those are the two key variables that impact shipping costs. And what's better, with String's business model, you only pay for result delivery.

But in reality, things are breaking down. So when you are picking a new partner, I think it's important to really vet them to understand are they enterprise-ready and what that readiness means for your organization."23:12 AI and ML applications have been "invading" everyone's lives for many years - Patrick: "The thing that you have to recognize is that 85-90% of ideas around AI and ML applications will probably fail, they won't return any meaningful value and won't be used as something stand-alone that can drive growth and revenue for your business but really the power is in how they augment capabilities."Find out more about amazing guests in the links below:About Patrick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-nikoletich-99a42918/About Nima: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nima3rad/Website: https://goshippo.com/

For this episode of the eCom Logistics Podcast, we welcome Ben Emmrich, Co-Founder and CEO of Tusk Logistics. Today, he talks about how delivery providers can provide the most value not only for their own service but also for their shippers.Ben shares his experiences and insights in the small parcel industry and the philosophy behind Tusk. He discusses the importance of carrier diversification and the strategic roles that regional and national carriers have been playing for the last 10 or so years. ABOUT BENCo-Founder and CEO of Tusk. Ben has spent his career at the overlap of small parcel shipping and ecommerce and led operations and strategic partnerships at Google Shopping and Shippo before building Tusk. Having seen the small parcel industry from many angles — as an operator, software provider and start-up — Ben is a firm believer that any small parcel delivery provider's sole focus should be on making a meaningful, honest impact for its shippers and that volume follows value. HIGHLIGHTS01:36 Accidental business? The funny story behind Ben's Dry Ice07:12 How Tusk came about09:49 Are regional carriers transitioning to a different model?13:50 How UPS nailed the strategy of utilizing Amazon20:40 Carrier diversification is the correct way25:58 Addressing fears of not having enough volume as a brand30:32 The strategic roles of national carriers QUOTES20:59 Carrier diversification is important but there needs to be adjustments - Ben: "We are too much of a professorial industry. Where experts tell an operator what they should do. Like, 'hey, you should diversify', you should-you should, you could-you could, it's very advice-based."27:19 Regional carriers make incredible partners - Ben: "They do right by their shippers and I would encourage every shipper out there to call a regional. The reason being is, because their op is smaller their operation is often more flexible. For example, if you have 25 pieces bound for a regional's footprint, they might give you a discounted pick-up fee or waive your pick-up fee because they already have trucks on your block.

In the podcast interview, Joe and Jonathan discuss EDI, EDI integration challenges, and how Orderful has eliminated the need for companies to build point-to-point EDI integrations. EDI stands for electronic data interchange, which is a standard for exchanging information between computer systems. Traditionally, when trading partners like manufacturers, retailers, logistics companies, want to connect via EDI they relied on custom-made integration environments with a heavy reliance on consultants and managed service providers. This approach was difficult, time consuming, and very expensive. Orderful's API challenges the traditional integration infrastructure and eliminates the need for companies to build point-to-point EDI integrations. Orderful is solving the EDI integration problem in an automated, transparent, and scalable way. Orderful is a new kind of EDI provider, the focus of the platform is to improve the global supply chain by enabling suppliers to immediately trade data with buyers. They are helping the small guys get to market and they want to create a world where data trading is not a barrier.

If you offer free shipping to your customers, you will adjust the prices of the items you sell to absorb those shipping costs and protect your profit margins. In this episode, I go deep on all things shipping. The truth is, there's no easy answer to the free shipping or charging for shipping question. There is no one-size fits all strategy when it comes to shipping charges. There may even be more than one answer for your business. Think about your own buying behavior. What matters more to you when you're shopping online? What matters to your customers? Shippo, a shipping software company, conducted a survey where they found: 49% of customers prefer to pay a lower price for items and pay for shipping. 40% of customers want free shipping. 11% of customers want their items fast and are willing to pay expedited shipping charges. Another report showed: People prefer paying for low-cost shipping when purchasing lower-priced items. 93% of shoppers will add to their carts to reach a certain threshold to receive free shipping if it's offered. For one-off online sales, offering free shipping once a customer reaches a purchase threshold is smart for a few reasons. It can increase your average order value. It incentivizes customers to order more items at once instead of placing multiple one-item orders, reducing your overall shipping charges. It allows for lower pricing of items because you don't have to account for as much of the cost of shipping in the price of each item. Answering this question for your subscription box is more difficult. Do you only ship or do you offer local pickup as well? Does the perceived value of your subscription box allow you to include shipping in the cost of the box or would that make the price “too high?” Don't be afraid to test options with your audience to help you make this decision. Join me for this episode as I talk about what you need to consider when deciding whether to charge for shipping or offer free shipping to your customers and why you may end up choosing one strategy for your one-off sales and the other for your subscription box.
