Welcome to a NEW season of the Social Media Influencer Podcast! New season because I'm in a new season of my life and business!! A lot has changed in my business over the last 6 months. In this episode I share the story I said I would NEVER share.  This was the biggest trial and obstacle I faced. I wanted to quit. Even though it's 6 months, I still have a hard time talking about it. I am a big believer that life isn't happening to us, it's happening for us.  Because of what happened I was forced to pivot hard and pivot fast. Looking back now, I can honestly say, I'm grateful for what I went through. Yes, it was incredibly hard. Yes, there were days I didn't want to get out of bed. But the truth is, the thing that almost broke me, actually turned out be the biggest blessing in disguise. God's redirection is His protection. I'm finally ready to share the details of what happened with you. Here's the LIVE video I didn't on October 11th 2021 https://fb.watch/dfCEdeUEef/Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jenny_peterson/Follow me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/jennypetersonstyleWant me to text you when NEW episodes drop?!

This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from copywriter and freelancing mentor Laura Smith. She says: “Hey Frankie and Steve,Can you help me figure this out?I'm a freelance copywriter that has worked with a lot of small business owners on their content. The more I worked with them, the more I realised I really liked the extra conversations they were having with me about how to start a business. So much so, I launched a mentoring programme for new freelancers. So far so good.So at this point, I already I have two different things to focus my marketing on — copywriting and mentoring. BUT. The more mentoring I do, the more things it uncovers that people find really helpful — mostly how to review your business and create strategy — and I'm really enjoying it. So, I'd like to offer more specific sessions around this kind of thing but I'm concerned I'd be spreading my services too far and my audience won't be able to easily recognise what I actually offer (which would be three different things by now, if you're counting).Can I successfully offer these new business sessions without compromising my existing copywriting services? Is there even time in the day? Is it possible that my brain just hates me? Help! Oh, and there's a 7 month old who doesn't sleep in the picture too. Obviously! Thanks, Laura” What would your advice be?

That's what this is all about. Yes, I talk about Positioning quite a bit, but today, I'm going to even zero in further on the supreme importance of differentiation and what it looks like.

#1223 Today I'm excited to chat with Matt Woicik from ml2solutions.com and digitalmarketingextreme.com. Pre-pandemic, Matt connected with a lot of local businesses in person through places like his local Chamber of Commerce. But once in-person connections shut down—and many businesses starting struggling just to keep their doors open—Matt found his leads starting to evaporate. I help him brainstorm creative ways to generate more leads for his business and get in front of new audiences.

Rachel worked with chronic pain patients for over ten years. She understood first-hand how food, nutrients, and movement can help people rebalance and heal themselves.  After finding that her perimenopausal symptoms were disruptive to her life, Rachel did her homework, searching for helpful midlife resources, only to come up short. She also realized that women that looked like her were missing from the conversation altogether. She wondered if she could create a judgment-free space for midlife women to learn from one another and express themselves with compassion. Rachel put one foot in front of the other and launched her blog and Instagram account @themenomemos, and began the conversation she was searching for. Her commitment to representation and dispensing encouragement, humor, and meaningful information about a host of midlife issues while creating a community that could share conversations, tools, tips, and resources about perimenopause and menopause was born.   In this episode, Nada sits down with Rachel to discuss how she built her social media presence and why she decided to use Instagram as her platform. She shares how she realized her friends were naturally turning to her for answers to health-related questions and why that prompted her to collaborate with the Perry community to host Perry Talks.Check out Rachel's blog.

Feel Ahead of Time featuring Dahyu PatelIn everyday life, emotions alter time perception. Moods change our relationship with time. How we move with time, despite how we feel, can change our emotions from negative to positive.  When we are sad and depressed, we feel the flow of time slowing down. In contrast, the feeling of stress seems to accelerate the flow of time. When we delay our actions to complete things, we expand the time needed to get things done. Rushing against time in a proactive way, living urgently without an urgent deadline switches your feelings of negative stress to possibly feeling ahead of time. Listen to learn more about how our emotions play a significant part in our relationship with time. #1 International Bestselling Business Author, Dahyu Patel, Answers:  What is Time Integrity?You wrote Chapter 7 in Volume 5, it's titled: Time Integrity.  What was your main goal in writing this chapter?What is Parkinson's Law and when have most of experienced it?Why is Time Integrity so important against Parkinson's Law? What is "feeling ahead"?Why should we care about Feeling Ahead of Time? How can we "Feel Ahead" after this podcast? How does Parkinson's Law impact what Prosocial Science reveals? This brings us to how "feeling ahead" equals the ending of the Christmas movie, "It's a Wonderful Life".  What should we notice when we watch it ? Dahyu's Special InvitationFor You:Ready to compress time, feel ahead in your day, and show up around friends and family feeling energized and fully present?

The idea of storytelling in food photography is so deeply ingrained in us that every photo we create  starts with the question “what's the story?”Will you believe that the first time I heard about storytelling in food photography, I just shrugged. I had no idea what it meant, leave alone bringing it to my work. I thought creating food stories meant large table scenes,  lots of food, a beautiful selection of props or showing a complex cooking process. I was so wrong.You tell, how would you define storytelling?What do you think is needed to create a powerful visual story?How do you bring storytelling to client work? I mean, do clients even look for “stories.”In this episode I'm talking to award-winning food photographer, Maja Lewicz, a commercial and editorial photographer, food stylist, vegan recipe creator and educator based in the Netherlands. Maja has been featured in several  magazines and is a master at creating powerful visual stories. She brings emotion to the simplest of subjects and so effortlessly.On the podcast, she shares how she approaches storytelling in photography,  captures moments in time and transports the audience into that moment. We discuss  whether storytelling should be elaborate or minimal and if clients look for storytelling in commercial work.Maja's breakdown of storytelling is uncomplicated and inspiring. Her practical tips work for both, beginners & seasoned photographers.If you're intimidated by the idea of storytelling, feel stuck when working with simple subjects or wonder how to merge storytelling with client branding, Maja shares simple storytelling techniques that require no special props or gear. Read more at https://myfoodlens.comFollow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/Show notes available at https://myfoodlens.com/30-master-the-art-of-visual-storytelling-with-maja-lewicz/

In This Episode:   Mark McNally, originally from Belfast, now a local business owner/entreprenuer. Mark's always had a bend toward inventing things. Looking for ways to solve problems and make life easier.  They moved from Belfast to America with two suitcases to fast forward until today he invented his own reusable plastic frame for HVAC filters, now he is a successful business owner. Mark unpacks his story of what it took to completely change his life in a classic American Dream story. We discuss how America has an environment that allows people to move up, start businesses, and take risks that can elevate their standing, where, generally speaking, most other countries don't afford their populations the same opportunities. We discuss the need for business owners/entreprenuers to program time into their days to slow down, disconnect, and create space to be inspired by new ideas. Mark shares the story of the birth of his company, trying to create a reusable plastic filter, the issues with creating something from scratch, and how he built his first prototype out of a pizza box.

What's In This Episode: When you prep to step away from the office, do you get busy crafting the perfect away message? Let's dig in to the way we communicate with people when we can't communicate with people. More often than not, entrepreneurs just love to make this one complicated. But it doesn't have to be. Jill Salzman turns the mundane into inspiration and transforms the impossible into the achievable. Through defying expectations and breaking the rules, she succeeds in inspiring entrepreneurs to figure out what works for them by using meaningful action to create positive results. Jill is the author of The Best Business Book In The World* (according to my mom) and the Amazon best-seller, Found It: A Field Guide for Mom Entrepreneurs. She's shared the speaker stage with Richard Branson, Sheryl Sandberg, Daymond John, Marilu Henner, and Desmond Tutu among others, and professed her love of Eddie Vedder in her TEDx talk on 11/11/11. She hosts the top-rated entertaining business podcast, Why Are We Shouting?, a question she asks herself daily. CNNMoney calls her a “mommy mogul.” MSN Live says she's a “Cool Mom Entrepreneur We Love.” Forbes rated her a Top 100 Champion Small Business Influencer and voted The Founding Moms one of the Top 10 Websites For Entrepreneurs. When she's not speaking to audiences in patterned leggings or podcasting from her basement, she fruitlessly tries to convince her daughters that cassette tapes actually existed.

Chinwe Onyeagoro is the CEO of PocketSuite where she is responsible for strategy, customer success and growth. She served as president of Great Place to Work, and previously worked for McKinsey & Company, The Monitor Group and Pritzker Realty Group (under former Secretary of Commerce).   Pocketsuite: https://pocketsuite.io/register/future  Connect with Chinwe   connect with us: https://www.futureoffitness.co/
