Send us a textIn this final episode of Series 2, I am bringing you my story. I'm being interviewed by my Visitor Elf sidekick Shonette Laffy, Digital Marketing Manager of Visit West and fellow freelancer.  During my conversation with Shonette, I share how I got into the visitor economy and what life was like in marketing before the internet existed - remember that?? 25 years ago, virtually no one had a website, Friends Reunited was the closest thing we had to Facebook and faxing was still a thing. I share some of the ways we used to find and reach out to audiences before we had so much tech at our disposal.This interview is a bit of a look back, but also a reflection on the challenges I have faced as a marketer who is juggling an increasingly complex  industry. I share some of the opportunities I see for the visitor economy over the next couple of years, including AI, chatbots and podcasts (no surprises there!), as well as some top tips for those of you working in marketing in this exciting industry.I hope that this conversation resonates with those of you in marketing trying to do it all - trying to be the digital tech specialist, the planner, the videographer, the writer.  It will also resonate with those whose early careers were a little all over the place until you had your own sliding doors moments.  Enjoy the episode!

Shonette is 48 and Cammy is 24 and sometimes this can lead to a bit of a communication issue. So today the pair are looking at slang and the way words can mean very different things to different generations. In particular the pair have a giggle about some slang words from the 80s - when Shonette was a teenager! How many words do you remember?

Lemon suckers are well and truly in Shonette's sights today. They are the people that won't try anything new, won't smile, are totally moody all the time and have that “lemon sucker” face on them all the time. Shonette thinks it's possible to get some lemon suckers to cough up their lemons, but not everybody. Because not every lemon sucker wants to cough up that lemon.  So how do you deal with a lemon sucker? You stay happy. Shonette and Cammy have all the tools for you to protect yourself from lemon suckers.

It's a Covid Christmas for Shonette and Cammy and indeed everybody this year. A very different Christmas for a very different year.  But you can make it a magical Christmas even though it won't be the Christmas you perhaps imagined it would be in January 2020!

And Shonette and Cammy are here to help you bring the Christmas magic with their usual laughter and ideas to get you off your head with happiness.

There's two new jobs on the podcast. Shonette is teaching 5 days a week. And Cammy's still in the factory but it's a new role and not nights! And whilst it's not on either of their job descriptions the pair of them are making sure they are spreading happiness (without drugs or alcohol). Cammy gets to talk to people and spreads compliments wherever he goes. Shonette is spreading baking!  And you don't need to get a new job to spread the happiness - Shonette and Cammy have lots of ideas for you to bring the happiness to where you work even if you've been there for years.

Shonette and Cammy are talking little addictions! The things you can't stop yourself from doing  (or in Shonette's case eating!) Shonette is addicted to cake and Cammy is addicted to TK Maxx (but he's facing lockdown cold turkey!) Should we be worried about these little things that start out as a joke or a bit of fun but then you find you can't go a day without them?

Shonette is annoyed by the lies we tell children (and adults). And the one that's really got her goat is this one “You can be anything you want to be” Sometimes  you have to recognise that actually there are some things you can't do.  It's not negative to think or say this because sometimes thinking you can achieve something which is simply impossible will actually make you sad and frustrated. So get your ears around this episode as Shonette tells you what you might want to tell yourself (and the kids) instead.

Life after the factory is going well for Shonette. She's recorded this episode from a garden in Dubai where she's been working for a few weeks as a teacher.  The sunshine, the warmth, and the joy of going to bed at night time has been teaching Shonette to appreciate the simple little things in life.  And of course going back to teaching has been bliss.  Getting back means new plans and new projects are needed.  Shonette's got a 30 day fitness project as well as book projects too.

Shonette has been running a happiness superhero coaching course.  It's a self help course to help the self because she is a self help junkie! Weight Loss and fitness was one of the main goals to start off but soon those goals developed and people soon discovered the superhero inside them. One woman is set to publish the book she has written, but has been putting off. Another is getting ready to open a bakery! And guess what!? Shonette has also discovered lots about herself too.

Today's episode is all about lemon suckers. Because they are taking up too much space in our lives. A lemon sucker is a person who takes the joy out of life. They often look as though they are in fact sucking on a lemon sucker. Sometimes, you are the lemon sucker.  And lemon suckers are contagious. But good news, so is happiness!

Shonette has found a kindred spirit and he's here on the podcast. Cammy is Shonette's friend from the factory. And like Shonette he was born happy.

Don't tell Shonette what to do! You'll be shocked to hear that Shonette has always been very clear on whether she wants to do something or not. So unless you're going to tell her some positives along with the negatives and stopping her from doing what she wants to do to be happy (car park disco anybody?!) then don't even think about it And if you're one of those people who tell others what to do - have a think about how you're saying (no shushing!)

She gets to wear a dress again!! But there's been some sadness too, her oldest friend's dad died.

After last week's emotional Coronacoaster Shonette is back with a bit more positivity.At the beginning of lockdown there was lots of talk about all the things you could achieve. Yeah, Shonette's still laughing at some of those ideas too.But one thing she has done is finish her book.Well ok, the first draft but she is over the line.It's not a lockdown creation, in fact it's taken much longer than that to get even this far. And it made Shonette think about how everybody says there's book inside everybody because actually writing a book is hard work.You might have the book inside you but getting it out is a whole different story (ha ha). Sometimes you need somebody to drag you over the line - both metaphorically and physically. Who drags you over the line or are you the dragger?Let Shonette know on Instagram @basonshonette Subscribe to Spread The Happiness TV And visit her website https://www.shonettebasonwood.com/Music used under creative commons license.

WARNING - This is an emotional episode. There are tears, talk about being in a dark place and one use of the s word that rhymes with it.It's been a tough week for Shonette and Spread The Happiness.Like many business owners she's been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic.And this week Shonette found out the type of business she runs is not one of those eligible for government support.This news hit Shonette hard and in this episode she explains how it's affected her and what will happen next.(I promise it ends on a positive). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

When will it all be over? It's a question many of us are asking about lockdown.But according to Shonette the question should actually be "does it matter?".Lockdown and it's associated restrictions are helping us to realise what does actually matter.And Shonette is grateful for that.Get in touch with Shonette on Instagram @basonshonette Subscribe to Spread The Happiness TV And visit her website https://www.shonettebasonwood.com/Music used under creative commons license.
