Episode 184: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-freeMany online business owners waste months creating courses, coaching programs, or services only to discover there's no market demand when they finally launch.

In this episode, I dive deep into what it really takes to build a systematic marketing strategy for your veterinary practice—one that goes way beyond just running ads or posting on social media. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the marketing options out there, or wondered whether your efforts are actually bringing in new clients, you're not alone. I break down why marketing isn't just a collection of random tactics, but a strategic process that should consistently attract, nurture, and convert new clients for your practice. I walk you through the three core functions every veterinary marketing system needs: attracting attention, building trust and credibility, and prompting action. We'll talk about how to get your practice noticed—whether that's through SEO, PPC, social media, or community events—but more importantly, how to move beyond just being seen. I share actionable tips for building genuine trust with pet owners, from leveraging reviews and testimonials to creating educational content and nurturing relationships through email and text sequences. We also take a closer look at the most effective marketing channels for veterinary practices, including how to optimize your Google Business Profile for local SEO, when to use paid ads for quick wins, and how to make the most of organic social media to build community and loyalty. Plus, I'll give you practical advice on crafting offers, setting up follow-up systems, and tracking the metrics that actually matter so you can measure your ROI and keep improving your results. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear, actionable framework for aligning your marketing tactics with the client journey—so you can stop guessing, start seeing real results, and turn your marketing from a source of stress into a powerful engine for growth. Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your practice's marketing to the next level, this episode is packed with insights and strategies you can put to work right away.

Q4 is the graveyard for lazy marketing. Every year, business owners crank out more posts, flood their feeds, and wonder why nothing sticks. It's not about more volume. It's about strategy, intention, and execution. And if you miss that in Q4, you're already behind.In this episode, Stoy Hall and Kristina Hall rip apart the myths the “experts” keep pushing. We tackle why Q4 is the toughest quarter of the year, how ad spend spikes and engagement plummets, and why throwing AI-generated junk into the world is only adding to the noise. We dig into rage-bait culture, the obsession with daily posting, and the lie that you need to be everywhere at once.We go deeper than tactics. We talk about mindset. Why business owners chase trends instead of building stories that actually connect. Why stock photos and polished nonsense won't move the needle. Why you need KPIs that matter, not vanity metrics. And why, if you don't already have a Q4 plan, you better make one this week or risk starting next year scrambling.This is not another “social media hacks” episode. This is the no-bullshit breakdown of what's working, what's dead, and what you should be doing right now to cut through the chaos.If you're tired of wasting time chasing algorithms, if you're ready to hear the truth about how to actually use social to grow your business, this is your wake-up call.Listen now, then watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/KeVp7aHgAnk Learn more at blackmammoth.comWelcome to the No BS Wealth Podcast with Stoy Hall, your candid guide to financial clarity.

The photo world is filled with remarkable young and up-and-coming talents. They often don't get the visibility they deserve, so we created Next Frame—a new monthly series aiming to shine a light their way. These bite-sized episodes are equally inspired by the guests we speak with and the invaluable contributions of local creative arts programs that have played a key role in their development. We're launching this series with photographer, filmmaker, and boxing & music aficionado Josh Nass, an alumnus of Baltimore's Wide Angle Youth Media programs. From nailing his Photoshop skills while still in middle school to trading in his boxing gloves for a camera during college and beyond, Josh regales us with practical tips about both the successes and challenges all young creatives must face as they transition from trading pictures for access to molding media skills into a profitable career. Looking back on his early days chasing both music and fashion scenes, Josh notes, “Your main role as a photographer—especially with talent and famous people—you know, I thought I was just making them look cool, but I'm making them money. I'm marketing them for their next tour, for their current tour. Looking back, I've learned a thing or two about how to get users' attention online.” Guest: Josh Nass   Episode Timeline: 2:04: Baltimore/DC-based photographer Josh Nass talks about first picking up a camera to fill his time after hanging up his boxing gloves. 3:40: Leveraging social media to get on stage and photograph his favorite Caribbean singer, then trading free pictures for ongoing access. 7:25: Navigating one's comfort level as an up-and-coming photographer, plus making a distinction between comfort with gear and social ease with subjects and clients. 9:08: Making pictures of cool moments, creative editing decisions to draw out the cool factor, and being first to deliver the files are all key to Josh's success. 14:02: Street hustling at New York Fashion Week to gain access to photograph top artists and celebrities, and the tough lessons Josh learned in the process. 19:06: Josh's connection to Baltimore's Wide Angle Youth Media and the formative role their programs have played in his early photography success. 22:50: Being referred by Wide Angle for a Comcast commercial, and the backstory to what transpired behind-the-scenes.  29:49: Josh weighs future career options and whether he'll choose to pursue photography full time.  35:40: Essential advice for emerging photographers: Prioritize building your skills and don't overvalue your work early on. Plus, a look at Josh's first big paid gig for a Keke Palmer concert and marketing campaign.    Guest Bio: Josh Nass is a Baltimore/DC-based freelance photographer and a senior at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he's pursuing a bachelor's degree in information science. As a high school graduate of The Baltimore School for the Arts and a participant Baltimore's Wide Angle Youth Media non-profit, he's honed his subject-based style to give each of his shoots, whether its celebrities, musicians, athletes, or models, a unique “wow” factor.   Stay Connected: Website Instagram Facebook Wide Angle Youth / Comcast Video   Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens

#589 Nick Church is a seasoned wedding and commercial photographer, educator, and the founder of the Nick Church Creative Academy. With nearly a decade of professional experience, Nick has become recognized for both his creative eye and his commitment to helping other photographers grow in their craft. Having transitioned from the software industry to full-time photography, he brings a unique blend of business acumen and technical expertise to the table.KEY TOPICS COVEREDEvolving Creativity and Staying Motivated in Wedding Photography - Nick explains how shooting countless weddings can make the experience feel routine, but emphasizes the necessity of finding fresh creative approaches and engaging in personal projects for artistic fulfillment. Changing locations, experimenting with new techniques, and even switching camera systems (like using Fujifilm for personal work) can reignite passion and broaden skills.Seven Foundational Rules for Photographers - Nick outlines crucial “rules” every photographer should keep in mind. Topics include:Avoiding GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) by focusing on developing skills before investing in new equipment.Developing a critical eye, always evaluating what works in your images and areas for improvement.Not expecting post-processing to “rescue” fundamentally flawed shots.Transitioning from Hobby to Business - Nick advises beginners aspiring to start a business to focus on visible, authentic self-marketing, sharing their real passion, and building community presence. Technical prowess matters, but connecting with potential clients on a personal level is equally vital.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSGear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS): The compulsion to continually purchase new gear in hopes of improving photography, often without a concrete reason or understanding of how it will address one's actual needs. Nick stresses articulating specific problems with current gear before making a purchase.Shooting with Intention: The practice of planning or visualizing the purpose and effect of each frame—be it emotion, composition, or storytelling—instead of just “snapping” photos. This leads to more impactful and meaningful images.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow can you maintain creative motivation when photographing the same event or venue repeatedly?What steps can you take to evaluate whether a new piece of gear is truly necessary for your photography?Reflect on a recent photo you took: What were you trying to communicate, and did your intention come through?RESOURCES:Visit Nick Church's Website - https://www.nickchurchcreativeacademy.com/Check out the Photographer Unleashed course!

In this episode of the Remarkable Retail Podcast, our guest is with Lauren Price, Senior Vice President, E-Commerce & Digital Marketing for COS North America discussing her impressive career trajectory and work positioning the H&M-owned brand for growth in a competitive, fast-moving fashion retail landscape.Lauren's career began in the early days of luxury e-commerce at Createthe Group, building first-generation online stores for high-end brands . Her path included consulting with Demandware and L2 (Scott Galloway's firm), leading to her first in-house brand role at J.Crew before joining COS—a globally recognized fashion brand known for exceptional quality, timeless style, and meticulous craftsmanship.At COS, Lauren oversees North American marketing and digital commerce, a key growth market. She explains how COS benefits from the resources of a global parent company while operating with the agility of a smaller regional business. This unique position allows for strategic experimentation while maintaining the brand's commitment to premium quality.A highlight from the conversation is COS's viral marketing moment: a $45 T-shirt compared on TikTok to a $15 Uniqlo tee, with the influencer praising COS's superior quality and construction. This sparked organic buzz and significant new customer acquisition, prompting Lauren's team to launch a targeted influencer gifting campaign. The lesson: seize authentic, organic momentum quickly and amplify it with campaigns that focus on authenticity, craftsmanship, and product education—especially to win over savvy Gen Z shoppers.Lauren also tackles the emerging challenge of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), advising brands to prepare product catalogs for AI-driven search while maintaining current SEO performance. She predicts AI search adoption will accelerate faster than previous digital shifts, urging retailers to run both short-term and long-term optimization in parallel.As the discussion turns to holiday planning, Lauren offers several pieces of practical, results-focused advice.
