Hi and welcome to It's Not Rocket Science five questions over coffee. I have got my coffee with me here. It is, in a mug which I got when I recently returned from Lanzarote which is and Paige has got her coffee with her. So I'm delighted today to be speaking with Paige on our fen. Paige is a really brilliant marketing connector, she's into into connecting, captivating, and converting those customers. So we're gonna learn a lot about how she's done that and what she's been doing in her business. And, Paige, welcome to It's Not Rocket Science, five questions over coffee.Stuart Webb [00:01:11]:Welcome to giving us your spin on the world.Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:01:14]:Thank you, Stuart. It's great to be here. Thanks for having me.Stuart Webb [00:01:18]:No problem. Now I know that, you are, you are you are interested in in these companies and and how they market. So can you tell me the sort of sort of business leaders, sort of business, work the business that you work with? What are the sort of problems that you see that they have that they are maybe maybe not quite converting at the moment?Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:01:40]:So the majority of our clients, I would describe as, mid to emerging market, kind of 2,000,000 to 200,000,000 in revenue, but we also work with companies who are early stage venture backed startups or even big Fortune 500 companies. And a lot of the common denominators, that affect all the organizations today is, you know, they're getting lost in the noise. There's just so much going on, and they want to raise their visibility and their profile so that they can sell more of their products and services faster. And they just feel like, you know, there's just a lot going on, and it's hard to get noticed today.Stuart Webb [00:02:25]:And and tell me, Paige, what are the problems that you've noticed that they have with that getting noticed? Because you're right. A lot of scale up businesses are are often struggling to break through the noise, and and sometimes sometimes it's simple steps they take. What are the sort of things that you find that that business owners you're working with, business leaders that you you speak to are struggling with and how and and what are the mistakes they're making?Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:02:50]:So you know, one, one universal problem, I think, is a lot of people feel like I'm really not a famous person. I don't run a big company that has global recognition. I'm not Taylor Swift or Serena Williams or Beyonce. You know?Stuart Webb [00:03:10]:Few of us are, Paige. Few of us are.Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:03:12]:But a lot of, you know, small business owners don't think of themselves as brands. They just think I'm running this small company. It's not that big of a deal. But the truth is everybody's a brand today. And I think if we learned anything during the pandemic, it's that if you don't exist online, you're really invisible today. And so, you know, the thing that I try encourage, people that, reach out is I really hope that I can convince you that it's important that you do brand yourself and brand your your product or service in a way that connects with your customers and clients on a on an emotional level. A brand is a promise of a consistent experience, and it you want to own real estate in your customer's brain so that every time they have a problem that your product or service that, can help them solve, that they think of you first. And if you own that real estate in their brain, you're a brand.Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:04:18]:And if you don't, you're a commodity. And commodities compete on price, and that's a really bad place to be. Because if you're competing on price and all you do is lower your price to win more business, that's not a sustainable option.Stuart Webb [00:04:33]:I think that's a brilliant message, Paige. And I must admit, one of the businesses that I was helping when it came to the pandemic, when they started the pandemic, they had unknown no online presence. They'd never thought of it. And by the end of the pandemic, they had more business coming in online than they had in their physical store. And, actually, that was one of the causes of the problems they then started to have in terms of that, as you said, that promise. Because, you know, what often you find with brands, with marketing, is that people promise one thing but can deliver something very different. And it's that experience of then failing to meet the customer expectation which actually causes so many problems. And that is a is a it becomes a business issue very quickly, doesn't it? Because people rarely understand that they have to have to live up to what they're talking about in their marketing.Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:05:22]:Absolutely. And you you really need to own a very specific, message. You can't stand for everything. You can stand for one or two things. And I think another big mistake people make is they try to be all things to all people. And theyStuart Webb [00:05:38]:All people. Yes.Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:05:40]:Million, benefits and features out there. People don't remember the features. What they wanna know is how you're gonna help them. How are you gonna help them solve their problem? So it's really important to hone in on your message, figure out what those really singular things are that really matter to your audience and reinforce those messages in everything that you do. And don't spread yourself too thin online either. If you try to be on every platform all the time with all the messages, again, it's just gonna dilute your brand. People aren't gonna, remember too much. And if you're not consistent in your message, if you try to be one thing on one platform and another thing on another platform, you're not building trust.Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:06:32]:And, you know, brands are you know, you you wanna have, unique, special, and different messages that build trust in what you're saying. And people buy brands they know, like, and trust. So make sure they can find you, that you're talking about yourself in a way that's relevant and compelling, and that it's constantly being reinforced in everything that you do. Those are the brands that succeed. And like you said, if they do it well, their business will explode.Stuart Webb [00:07:06]:I love the what you're saying, Paige. And I must admit I I I buy into it a lot of the time because so often I think business owners fail to recognize two things. One of which is, you know, they're reaching out onto 17 different social media platforms, and they've forgotten that on 16 of those social media platforms, their audience is not there, and they are just wasting their time and their effort and their money to reach out to somebody who just doesn't exist. And the other thing that I find so many small businesses do is they forget that they're trying. They should be selling outcomes. They should be selling the outcome of the because, you know, that once again, we go back to that promise. Somebody is not interested in the fact that I I often sort of talk to to people and say, when you buy a stapler, what is it you're looking for? You're not looking for metal. You're looking for us for for the fact that the paper will hold together.Stuart Webb [00:07:54]:So tell people about the paper being held together and how good it is that it does that, not the fact that it's made out of metal because that's a feature that nobody can relate to. And so often people forget that it's that outcome that they're really interested in, not the the steps to it. That's just the incidentals.Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:08:12]:Bingo. What's in it for them? How are you making their lives more convenient, simpler? You're saving them time. You're saving them money. And like you said, if you're just spinning your wheels and you're spending a lot of energy to no end, it's running you ragged, and it's not building your business.Stuart Webb [00:08:30]:Yeah. We're back to that most popular radio station on the, in the world, WII FM. What's in it for me?Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:08:37]:You got it. Bingo.Stuart Webb [00:08:40]:Paige, you must have, and I'm gonna put your, on screen now the the the website where we could come and find more information about you, which is at mavensandmoguls.com. Is there something at that website that we can all latch on to which is already valuable piece of free advice?Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:08:56]:Absolutely. I have a lot of free content. Articles, I've contributed to a lot of books. I've got videos. I've got podcasts. So if anyone that wants to learn more about branding or marketing, personal branding in a digital world, it's all there. There's no gated. You don't have to, give me, email address.Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:09:18]:There's no fee, and I think there'll be a lot of great content for people who wanna learn more.Stuart Webb [00:09:24]:And anybody who hasn't actually managed to capture that email that that that that now and we'll put this into there. We keep a record of all of the great stuff that that guests on the show come across. So if you just go to systemize.meforward free forward free hyphen stuff, I'll try and say that again only this time in English. Systemize dot me hyphen, sorry, slash free hyphen stuff. If you go to that link anyway, you'll see it in the show notes. You will be able to go straight onto a I will have a link straight to Paige's website, and you'll go straight into that in order to be able to get to that. So, Paige, we've got to know a little bit more about you as a as a person. So what is it? Was there a book, a program, a life experience, something that brought you to the point here where you became the the the the marketing mogul that you are?Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:10:15]:So, you know, I am constantly reading and trying to learn. I think having a growth mindset is so important today. There's so much out there. I I like the classics, to be honest with you. I think Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People is one that if you haven't read it or you haven't read it in a long time, there are a lot of great tips on human nature and great marketing tips as well. But there are a lot of current people, Seth Godin, David Meerman Scott, Guy Kawasaki, people that have been real practitioners in marketing and technology, and they don't use a lot of jargon. They're very straight shooting. They talk about their real life experiences in the trenches, the good, the bad, the ugly.Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:11:04]:And I always learn if I follow them online or read their books asStuart Webb [00:11:09]:well. Good good good attitude to have a growth mindset. I love it. So we come to the the million dollar question, Paige, the one that I know you've been asking yourself. When is he gonna ask me that really killer question? And so I'm going to say to you, what's the killer question I should have asked you? And then, obviously, once you've told me what that killer question is, you better answerPaige Arnof-Fenn [00:11:30]:it because I won't know the answer. So maybe is there a quote or, something that motivates you, that inspires you, that affects, you know, how you I love that question. Build your business. And I would say there's a quote. It was attributed to Teddy Roosevelt, but I I think it's been attributed to a lot of people. It's that people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.Stuart Webb [00:11:54]:And I think I love that.Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:11:56]:I think it's a great quote. And I think especially in this day of artificial intelligence where people are kind of throwing a lot of things, you know, to these rope robotic machinery online, and what comes back is very generic and robotic, copy. And I think you have to remember to show your humanity to stand out today. So people are not looking for facts and figures and to be inundated with a lot of data. I think you have to find the stories that are unique, special, and different to you that make you stand out and get remembered. So, you know, I think if you remember nothing else about our talk today, just remember that showing your humanity, the good, the bad, the ugly, the things that the lessons you learned that only you can share, your origin story. What what is it about you that or how are you gonna help people in a way that they're gonna think of you first and remember you because you're a human being and you're not some AI tool that, you know, uses all the same buzzwords and keywords and copy, people aren't gonna remember that, but they will remember you if you have a great story.Stuart Webb [00:13:14]:Do you know? I think that's a really valuable and I hope a timely piece of advice. I know a lot of people today are using AI to write their blog posts. They're using AI to write their books. I came across somebody the other day who is using chat GPT to write his book for him. And he's using it in a very clever way with some very interesting prompts but at the end of the day when I read something I need to hear the writer's voice and that's when you suddenly sit there and go 'I cannot imagine' I couldn't imagine actually when I read what this this person I I won't use his name, but when he sent me what he'd written, I went, this doesn't sound like it. It doesn't sound like the way he talks, and I certainly don't buy into what he's saying because of it. You've actually got to continue to remember that marketing is about that. Once again, that's delivering on that promise that you make, isn't it? And if you fail to deliver because you have one voice in your marketing and another voice in your delivery, you fail to connect with a customer.Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:14:13]:Exactly. And you get one chance to make a great first impression, so don't blow it.Stuart Webb [00:14:18]:I love that. Paige, that is an absolutely brilliant way to stop. We're gonna stop there before we ruin it by saying anything which actually isn't nearly as brilliant as what you've just said. So, I'm just gonna put this up at the moment. Let's, let's let's let's just ask you. People, if you are interested in getting a a I send out a normally, I send out a weekly newsletter, and it just tells you who's coming up on the podcast in the coming few days. And if you'd like to get on that newsletter so you can get ready to hear some of the great interviews that we have with some brilliant people like Paige, go to systemize.me forward slash subscribe. Simple form.Stuart Webb [00:14:54]:It only asks you for two things, your name and your email address. You'll have nothing more than that. You will only get an email from me about once a week, and that that's as simple as that. So please go to systemize.meforward slash subscribe page. Thank you so much for coming on. What a brilliant piece of advice. And just remember, if you're using AI to write your marketing materials at the moment, you are missing a huge opportunity to be a brand which people connect with, which people love to trust, and that is missing out, and you're leaving money on the table. So, Paige, thank you so much for your time.Paige Arnof-Fenn [00:15:28]:Thanks, Stuart. I love chatting with you today.

The Information Age brought prosperity, access, and knowledge to billions. But that era is ending. In this episode, I argue that the Information Age has already given way to a new era: The Augmentation Age.We no longer need to know everything—AI tools and digital memory hold that for us. Knowledge workers are being replaced. Google doesn't send us to information; it delivers the answer. Designers, coders, lawyers, and writers are being augmented—or automated.So what's next? We explore the new economy of augmented labor—where hands-on skills matter again, trades thrive, and entrepreneurs are free to build leaner, faster businesses with AI as their co-pilot. I share how we're already augmenting our bodies and minds—digitally, chemically, and mechanically—and what this means for the future of work, leadership, and strategy.Whether you're a business owner, coach, or creative, this episode will help you understand what's ending—and what to do next.

David introduces his new book Systems Champion, a follow-up to his bestselling Systemology, focused on empowering non-founder team members to drive systems implementation. Together, they discuss the critical role of the “Systems Champion,” the qualities to look for in hiring one, and how AI is transforming the business landscape.

AI is Coming—Adapt Now: Understand your business processes deeply, then explore how AI can help you do them faster, better, and cheaper. Recruit for Systems Thinking: From job ads to onboarding, embed systems thinking into your hiring process to create a process-driven company culture. About the Guest: David Jenyns is a systems devotee and founder of Systemology.com, with a mission to free business owners from daily operations. He's helped businesses of all sizes create scalable, system-driven models.

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing School Podcast. Today Joe has a conversation with Karl Krauskopf, a former corporate strategist, transitioned into real estate and has completed 105 deals in six years, managing a portfolio of value-add multifamily properties in the Pacific Northwest. Drawing on his background in corporate healthcare, he applied his experience in creating scalable systems to real estate, focusing on repeatable processes to streamline operations. Early in his career, Krauskopf balanced a demanding corporate job, a newborn child, and real estate investments. Despite facing challenges, including a significant $56,000 loss due to mortgage fraud, he persevered and learned critical lessons about due diligence and process improvement. One of the key lessons Krauskopf shares is the importance of due diligence, particularly after falling victim to a scam involving identity theft and fraudulent home sale. While title insurance helped mitigate some of his losses, the experience underscored the need to thoroughly vet sellers and ensure all aspects of a deal are legitimate. Krauskopf emphasizes the value of learning from mistakes, understanding market conditions, and adapting quickly, especially in the fast-paced and risk-prone world of real estate. As his real estate career progressed, Krauskopf scaled his operations by leveraging teams and creating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to manage acquisitions, investor relations, and marketing. He eventually shifted his focus to multifamily value-add properties, drawn by the long-term stability and growth potential. His adaptable approach to real estate allowed him to pivot successfully between flipping homes, new developments, and multifamily investments. Looking forward, Krauskopf remains excited about upcoming market opportunities, particularly with potential interest rate reductions on the horizon. Book a free real estate investing strategy call!
