Podcasts about social media presence

Most contractors think branding is about logos, colors, and marketing. It's not. The strongest brands in the trades do something much more powerful: they attract great employees, create loyal customers, and make growth easier. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Joshua Crouch sit down with Levi Torres, founder of High 5 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, to discuss how consistent branding became the foundation for one of Colorado's fastest-growing home service companies. What started as a simple idea—a high five at the end of every service call—evolved into a recognizable brand that helps attract top talent, improve retention, and create a culture employees are proud to be part of. Levi shares how High 5 uses social media, training systems, operational consistency, and employee development to build a company that technicians actively want to join. They discuss: • Why branding is a recruiting tool, not just a marketing tool • How company culture influences hiring success • The power of consistency in building trust • Why social media has become a recruiting engine • Creating clear career paths for technicians • Building training systems that support growth • How documentation makes scaling easier • Expanding into HVAC and electrical without losing culture • The role of AI in coaching and employee development • Why employee experience directly impacts customer experience If you're struggling to hire quality people, improve retention, or scale your service business, this episode will show you how a strong brand can solve more problems than you think.

He grew up on a rubber estate in Tawau, Sabah, a place often called the final frontier where the roads weren't even paved, the dial-up internet cut out every twenty minutes, and the nearest big city felt further away than Bali. Yet, from that quiet corner of the country, Richard Ker taught himself how to build websites, accidentally started a one-man global e-commerce business fixing iPhones out of a Beijing Starbucks, and spent twenty years living and working across the UK and China. When he finally came back to Malaysia, it was with one clear mission: to help entrepreneurs tell their stories. Today, as a content creator with nearly half a million followers and the founder of his own social media marketing agency, Richard's career is built on a simple belief, that storytelling is the oldest technology we have, and if you master it, the opportunities will come to you. This episode is for every young Malaysian who feels like they're too far away from the action to build something big because Richard is living proof that you can start from anywhere, even the furthest edge of Sabah, and still make it.

In this week's Behind The Scenes episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam pulls back the curtain on how he creates content for his social media platforms and builds his personal brand through a simple, organic approach.He shares how the majority of his growth came from creating content himself, staying authentic, and focusing on real connection rather than chasing trends or trying to “hack” the algorithm. You'll hear why being genuine on camera matters more than fancy production, how consistency and personality build trust over time, and why social media branding is ultimately about showing up as who you actually are.From content ideas to mindset shifts around posting online, this episode gives a practical, behind-the-scenes look at how authentic storytelling can grow a brand, attract the right audience, and create long-term business opportunities without gimmicks or shortcuts.FasterFreedom Capital Connection: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fasterfreedomcapital.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Rental Investment Training: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://freerentalwebinar.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

What happens when you take a centuries-old, traditional industry and inject it with vibrant color? This week, Cassie sits down with Alice Carroll, Co-Founder of Foxes Bow Irish Whiskey, to discuss the art of strategic disruption. Alice breaks down her journey from "stealthily stealing secrets" at major whiskey multinationals to launching an independent brand that refuses to play by the rules. We explore how being the "only woman at the table" became her greatest creative advantage, the tactical data she used to get retailers to say "yes" to a non-traditional design, and why she believes distinctiveness is more valuable than differentiation in 2026. Whether you're an entrepreneur in a "stiff" industry or a marketer struggling to find your authentic voice on camera, Alice's "warts-and-all" approach to brand building is the shot of inspiration you need.Key Takeaways:// Why looking at adjacent industries (and what your target audience follows on Instagram) is more effective than looking at your direct competitors when designing a brand.// How Alice leveraged her perspective as an "outsider" in a male-dominated category to spot the massive white space that legacy brands were too risk-averse to touch.// How to use consumer research and "hard facts" about audience pain points to convince conservative stakeholders to approve bold, eclectic designs.// The secret to building a brand that is instantly recognizable on any shelf or social feed, regardless of the context.// Why Alice is betting on a 2026 trend toward vibrancy, color, and "social middle-ground" wellness over the beige, minimalist extremes of recent years.// Why "boring" behind-the-scenes failures (like 20 misprinted billboards) often drive more engagement and trust than polished, high-production brand content.// Advice for the "camera-shy" on how to park your ego and let your audience's engagement dictate your content strategy.Connect with Alice: InstagramLearn More About Foxes Bow: Website____Join the MHH Collective!

Is social media a distribution channel or the heartbeat of your brand? This week, we're joined by Eric Stark, co-founder of Slate and former NFL social leader, to unpack why most brands are fundamentally looking at social the wrong way. Eric dives into the transition from "posting for performance" to "creating for brand longevity," offering a masterclass in building creative workflows that empower teams rather than draining them. We explore how to maintain high-quality storytelling in an era of 3-second attention spans and why the "move fast and break things" mentality might actually be breaking your brand's reputation. Whether you're a solo creator or leading a massive department, Eric's "hill to die on" for 2026 will change how you view every piece of content in your library.Key Takeaways:// Social as Brand Identity: Why treating your social channels as a distribution arm for other departments is a mistake—and how to pivot back to brand-first marketing.// The "Stickiness" Factor: What separates the brands that own the cultural conversation from those that are just adding to the noise of the scroll.// Workflow = Quality: How optimizing your internal creative process actually yields better creative results, not just faster ones.// Short-Form Storytelling: Strategies for balancing the need for speed with the rising consumer expectation for high-production value and authentic narrative.Connect with Eric: LinkedInDiscover Slate: Website____Join the MHH Collective!

In this conversation, the discussion with C. Thi Nguyen revolves around the nature of metrics, qualitative knowledge, and the duality of scoring systems, particularly in the context of climbing. The speaker shares personal experiences with climbing as a case study to illustrate how scoring systems can both enhance and detract from the experience. The conversation delves into the beauty of climbing, the subtlety of value in metrics, and the importance of savoring moments in games. It also explores the tension between purpose and game mechanics, the role of enjoyment, and the complexities of scoring systems in both games and life. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the challenges of balancing values in decision-making and the risks associated with the gamification of various aspects of life.Takeaways Metrics can miss the subtlety of qualitative knowledge. Scoring systems can enhance or detract from experiences. Climbing serves as a unique case study for scoring systems. The beauty of climbing lies in its scoring system. Values can become obscured when metrics are prioritized. Games allow for exploration of different scoring systems. Achievement play focuses on winning, while striving play values the process. External expectations can pressure individuals to conform to metrics. The addictive nature of games can lead to negative experiences.Chapters 00:00 The Intricacies of Portability and Judgment 01:12 Introduction and Social Media Presence 03:40 The Value of Climbing and Scoring Systems 07:16 The Impact of Numbers in Climbing 09:42 Savoring the Moment vs. Obsession with Scoring 10:59 Goals vs. Purpose in Games 12:39 Understanding Value Capture 17:53 The Shift in Standards of Success 20:33 The Limitations of Metrics 21:42 Games as a Reflection of Human Desire 24:37 The Purpose Behind Scoring Systems 26:07 The Magic Circle of Games 29:15 Achievement Play vs. Striving Play 34:47 When Games Become Unsafe 38:21 The Pitfalls of Portability in MetricsFollow Thi on Twitter, Bluesky, and find his website.

Summary In this episode, Doug Bennett, the Goals Guy, engages in a deep conversation with Julie Hogbin about the intricacies of goal setting, personal transformation, and the importance of mindset. They explore how past experiences shape our beliefs, the role of habits in achieving goals, and the impact of social media on personal branding. Julie shares her journey of weight loss and giving up alcohol, emphasizing the significance of knowing what you want and working towards it. The discussion also touches on the value of community, networking, and the power of writing and publishing books as a means to influence others. The episode concludes with key takeaways on perseverance and the importance of setting clear goals. Takeaways Goal setting begins with understanding where you are now. Mindset is crucial for achieving future goals. Self-limiting beliefs from the past can hinder progress. Habits drive 95% of our behaviours; changing them requires conscious effort. Social media presence is essential for personal branding. Navigating controversial topics can impact personal relationships. Personal transformation often involves overcoming societal expectations. Community and networking play a vital role in achieving goals. Writing and publishing can enhance credibility and influence. Perseverance is key; it's about not giving up on your goals.

In this week's episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, Annie Sargent talks with immigration lawyer Daniel Tostado and guests Brenna and Jeff, a couple exploring how to make their dream of moving to France a reality. Listen to this episode ad-free They dive deep into what the Talent Visa France really is, how it differs from the Freelance Visa for France, and which one makes the most sense depending on your work situation. Daniel explains the legal side in plain language — who qualifies, how long each visa lasts, what documents you'll need, and what kind of income you must show. Brenna and Jeff share the emotional and practical side of the story — the excitement, the stress, and the paperwork. They also talk about their motivation for starting fresh in France, what they've learned along the way, and why learning French is more important than most people think. If you've ever wondered how to work remotely from France, apply for a digital nomad visa, or move abroad for a slower, more meaningful lifestyle, this episode will give you a clear, honest picture of what it takes. Annie and her guests make complex information easy to understand and relatable, whether you're planning a move or just curious about life in France.

Welcome to Barn Talk! In today's episode, we're bringing you a truly one-of-a-kind conversation with NASCAR star and proud watermelon farmer, Ross Chastain. Sawyer and Tork sit down with Ross to dig into everything—from his eighth-generation family farm roots in south Florida to his meteoric rise in the racing world.You'll hear Ross share stories of growing up surrounded by watermelon fields, learning the grit and grind of farm life, and how that translated into his “just do it” mentality behind the wheel. We get a behind-the-scenes look at how his family moved from packing watermelons in the old-school way to becoming leaders in the specialty crop market, plus the ups and downs that come from farming land that moves every 10 years and the constant battle with disease, weather, and regulation.But don't think it's all about ag! Ross takes us on a ride through his NASCAR journey—how he hustled his way in, paid his dues, and made a name by staying true to his roots (plus the infamous “wall ride” at Martinsville and the birth of his watermelon-smashing victory celebration). The guys talk about the business side of racing, the pressure, the handshakes (and haymakers), and the crossover between competing in sports and in agriculture.And if that isn't enough, Ross opens up about his mission to shine a spotlight on American farming through his “Ag to Asphalt” project, why he believes every farmer has a story worth telling, and how keeping it real has become his brand—on and off the track.So grab your favorite drink (maybe even a watermelon, if you're inspired), and settle in for a fresh, fast-paced, and downright fun episode with the Melon Man himself. Let's get into it!Shop Farmer Grade

She opens up about early fundraising rejections, building community without trying to “manufacture” it, and why she treats influencers like artists, not metrics.From the behind-the-scenes reality of launching a hit product to navigating wholesale, collaborations, and retail expansion, Nell reveals the creative and business principles that keep Hill House distinctly itself. She also gets candid about motherhood, leadership, and the art of blocking out the noise so you can build the brand only you can create.Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction [05:59] The idea that led to Hill House Home [09:43] Building community and treating influencers like artists [12:41] Lessons learned from early fundraising challenges [16:33] How collaborations stay authentic to the brand [19:58] Expanding into wholesale and physical retail [27:09] Balancing personal presence on social media with boundaries [30:04] Hiring for different stages of company growth [33:51] Navigating motherhood while running a company [37:02] Advice on blocking out noise and staying focused on your visionResources Mentioned:Soto Method Workout | WebsiteLearn more about Nell's creation on the Hill House Home Website, and follow her on Instagram and LinkedIn.Follow Nancy Twine:Instagram: @nancytwinewww.nancytwine.comFollow Makers Mindset:Instagram: @makersmindsetspaceTikTok: @themakersmindsetwww.makersmindset.com

Our past guests state that artists should focus on developing authentic, personal relationships with their collectors, often by communicating directly through email newsletters. Many pasta guests also attest to the importance of building and regularly growing an email list for maintaining long-term connections and driving sales outside of social media platforms. They also emphasize the importance of presenting oneself as a professional through a polished website and a consistent portfolio to help foster trust with galleries and clients. Also, consistent and strategic pricing, without undercutting galleries or offering variable discounts, supports an artist's reputation and business relationships. Separating administrative and creative tasks, and managing one's schedule effectively, enables artists to maximize their productivity and balance business demands. Finally, our guests remind us that artists should continue to adapt to changes in the art market, such as increased social media and marketing responsibilities, which is vital to thrive as a professional artist today.Episodes mentioned in order of appearance:37 Catherine Bobkoski42 Tina Garrett60 Gladys Roldan-de-Moras74 Arthur Gain81 Steve Atkinson96 Brienne Brown97 Elizabeth Robbins114 Kyle Stuckey117 Poppy Balser

Think sweating more = better results? Or that lifting will make you “too bulky”? You're not alone. If you've ever felt like your body's either “too much” or “not enough,” or struggled to balance training for aesthetics with training for strength, this episode is a must-listen.I sat down with Emily Duncan, fitness coach, entrepreneur, and host of EmBody Radio, to talk about what women are really up against when it comes to body image, fitness trends, and self-trust.We unpack why “bulky” is one of the biggest myths in fitness, how to separate discipline from obsession, and why balance is overrated (and harmony is where the real results happen). We also talk about why motivation is never enough on its own, and the systems we can use to stay consistent without burning out.Emily Duncan is a fitness coach, entrepreneur, and podcast host who has been creating online for over 12 years. Starting her journey in competitive bodybuilding, she now helps women move beyond quick fixes and body trends to build lasting strength, confidence, and self-trust.We Also Discuss:00:00 – Body Image, Ballet to Bodybuilding: Emily's Evolution08:09 – Beyond Trends: Redefining Balance and Harmony17:53 – Why Women Compete (and How to Truly Support Each Other)22:03 – Strength, Curves, and Owning Your Power31:37 – Discipline vs. Obsession: Building Resilience That Lasts39:54 – Coaching That Goes Deeper Than Reps & Macros46:21 – Motivation Is Overrated: Build Systems That Stick56:00 – Joy, Self-Care, and Finding Confidence Outside the GymThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads 1:1 – Ready to ditch the bullshit and start feeling good in your body?

I'm back for another solo episode! In this one, I'm catching you up on everything: life lately, parenting epiphanies, personal shifts, and a few hot takes I had to get off my chest. From summer travel plans and raising pre-teens to why I'm not falling for every wellness trend online, this one's a mix of honest reflections and playful rants (yes, we're talking about fantasy books, healing culture, and capri pants). I also open up about feeling disconnected from social media, the emotional weight of parenting older kids, and the importance of building real community.

Ever feel disconnected from your partner… but not sure how to fix it?You're not alone. Between mismatched desire, mental load, body image struggles, and awkward communication, intimacy often becomes one more thing on your to-do list, instead of a source of connection.In this episode, I'm joined by Vanessa and Xander Marin—licensed sex therapist and bestselling author duo behind Sex Talks and the Pillow Talks podcast. We're breaking down the silent issues that show up in long-term relationships and how to reconnect (without relying on spontaneous desire or unrealistic expectations).We're talking about what's actually behind low libido (hint: it's not just hormones or sex drive), how to reduce the mental load so you can feel more connected, and why “scheduled sex” isn't boring, it's powerful. Vanessa Marin is a licensed sex therapist with 20+ years of experience and Xander Marin is her husband, co-author, and brings the real-life partner perspective that makes these conversations feel refreshingly honest, relatable, and actionable.We Also Discuss:08:26 – Why we need to talk about sex way more openly13:44 – The 5 conversations every couple should have about sex18:32 – The truth about “how often” you should be having sex26:23 – Why desire doesn't just happen—and what to focus on instead32:42 – How mental load kills intimacy (and what to do about it)40:00 – The surprising link between body image and your sex life47:12 – What the “bristle reaction” is—and how to fix it54:04 – The most underrated forms of foreplay (hint: it's not lingerie)Thank You to Our Sponsors:Broads: Broads gives you structured, progressive training and a powerhouse community to keep you strong, consistent, and unstoppable.

“If you've shied away from showing who you are because you fear that you'll lose sales: people that would not like the authentic version of you are not going to be good customers of you anyway.

Social media presence is crucial for promoting fitness programs. Tendon injuries often arise from sudden spikes in training load. Collaboration with experts like Keith Barr enhances knowledge. Chronic adaptation is key to preventing injuries in athletes. Swing mechanics can significantly impact elbow stress. Injury management requires understanding of training loads. Foam golf balls can reduce stress during rehabilitation. Injections may provide temporary relief but do not address underlying issues. Long-term training consistency is essential for tendon health. Adjusting training load is crucial for injury recovery. Many people lack guidance on returning to sport after injury. Passive treatments may not be as effective as exercise. Strengthening exercises can significantly reduce pain. Gradual progression is key in rehabilitation. Isometric exercises can be beneficial but may not be necessary for everyone. Dynamic exercises should be incorporated into rehab. Strength training should be heavy and progressive. Rehabilitation should be tailored to the individual's needs. Education on injury management is essential for athletes.   Website: https://fitforgolf.blog Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit_for_golf/ Twitter: https://x.com/Fit_For_Golf

Ever wonder how faith should shape your politics? Craig sits down with Bob from Liberty Minds for a no-holds-barred chat about the messy, fascinating collision of Christianity and government. Bob's lived everywhere from Central America to California, and his spicy takes will challenge what you learned in your childhood church pew. Hear Bob's eye-opening journey from Hannity fan to libertarian thinker—driven by a quest to let his faith, not party lines, guide his views. Why does caring for the poor get him labeled a “left winger”? Why are both Democrats and Republicans failing on war and foreign policy? And is America's global power crumbling—or just getting darker?   From Trump's 2024 re-election to the future of the American empire, this isn't your grandma's Bible study. Buckle up for bold questions, raw honesty, and a stubborn hope that points beyond politics: “No king but Christ.”   Connect with Liberty Minds: Facebook Page   Hit play if you're ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about faith and power.   For Full Show Notes: https://www.thebadroman.com/show-notes/episode-127   3 WAYS TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT: TASTE IT BAD ROMAN SALSA, ADD TOTHE BAG thebadroman.com/donate, and share with a friend it (it's free!).
