They talk about confidence, visibility, learning your ideal customer, and why trade shows are rarely about instant sales and far more about long-term impact.This episode is a must-listen for equine business owners thinking about exhibiting, marketing offline, or building brand presence in a relationship-driven industry.In this episode we cover:What makes the London International Horse Show different from other equestrian eventsThe real cost and value of exhibiting at horse showsWhy trade shows are a long-term marketing play, not a quick winBuilding confidence by putting yourself and your business out thereHow conversations, referrals, and visibility create ripple effects over timeIf you're an equine business owner wondering whether shows are “worth it”, this conversation will give you clarity and perspective.

This month, I'm doing something new on the podcast: breaking down real client wins and showing you exactly how they happened.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how one salon brought in 81 new clients in a single quarter, for a brand new location, without paid ads, viral reels, or posting seven days a week.This didn't happen by accident. It happened because the business was set up correctly and visibility was done in a way that actually matches how people find salons in real life.Inside this episode, we cover:Why new clients are never random (even when it feels like they are)What visibility actually means vs. just “posting on Instagram”How local presence + online clarity compound faster than social aloneThe role leadership and training play in keeping new clientsHow 81 new clients can turn into $236K through cash compoundingWhy predictable growth beats flash-in-the-pan momentum every timeIf you've ever felt anxious about where your next clients are coming from, or tired of guessing what's “working,” this episode will change how you think about growth.Ready to build predictable client flow?The Salon Visibility System is a 90-minute masterclass that shows you exactly how to make your salon easy to find, trusted, and chosen — without relying on trends or algorithms.

From there, she breaks down why pushing back at work feels so hard for so many women in predominantly male spaces—and how to do it with calm authority instead of apology, emotion, or resentment.You'll learn:✔️ Why over-apologizing, emotional dumping, and “silent yeses” hurt your credibility✔️ How to advocate for yourself without sounding defensive or difficult✔️ A simple framework for professional, strategic pushback✔️ What to say when you're overwhelmed, sidelined, or given unrealistic expectations✔️ How to protect your time, energy, and reputation at the same timeIf you've ever frozen in the moment, replayed a conversation all night, or wished you'd spoken up differently—this episode is for you.You don't need to be louder.You need better language.Press play and learn how to speak up without blowing things up.

Most therapists don't struggle with marketing because they're doing it wrong—they struggle because they're exhausted. In this episode, I break down the difference between shiny marketing (the tactics that look good but burn you out) and sticky marketing (the strategies that actually build trust, referrals, and consistent caseloads).We talk about why chasing algorithms, keywords, and trends often leads to panic posting and random visibility—and how to shift toward a relationship-based approach that works even when you're busy. If you've ever felt pressured to “do more content” or worried you can't compete with billion-dollar platforms, this episode will help you reset your strategy without adding more to your plate.In this episode, I cover:Why shiny marketing plays on burnout—and how sticky marketing builds trust instead of stressThe KPIs that actually matter for filling your caseload (and where most marketing breaks down)How opt-ins, simple resources, and community reduce no-shows and buyer mismatchWhy one focused lead magnet and one ideal client beats doing “all the things” every timeIf you're tired of marketing that fizzles out as soon as your schedule fills—or you want a more predictable, values-aligned way to grow—this episode will help you build a plan that works with your energy, not against it.For therapists who want clearer systems and less friction, this month's Paperwork Essential Starter Kit gives you practical tools to streamline intake, documentation, and onboarding. And inside the Step It Up Membership, we go deeper into building opt-ins, content pillars, and marketing systems you can actually sustain long-term.Get your step by step guide to private practice.

If the thought of creating more content for Instagram makes you tired before you even start, this episode is for you.Growing an email list has quietly become one of the most important small business strategies for finding clients online — but most advice still assumes you're willing (or able) to live on social media. For many women running small businesses, especially in their 40s, that model simply isn't sustainable anymore.In this episode of Run Your Damn Business, I'm breaking down the best way to grow your email list without social media, and why this approach creates more stability, better leads, and stronger long-term growth than relying on algorithms ever could.We talk about why social media feels so draining right now, why “just post more” advice is outdated, and what actually works when your goal is to attract more clients without performing online every day.This is about shifting from visibility-based marketing to expertise as a business asset — and building something you actually own.In this episode, you'll learn:Why social media is no longer required for online visibilityThe biggest mistake small business owners make when trying to grow an email listHow to use podcasting for business growth instead of constant content creationWhy owned platforms outperform social platforms over timeIf you've been wondering how to grow your email list, attract more clients, and create steadier income without living on Instagram, this episode will help you see a smarter, calmer way forward.You don't need more content. You don't need more platforms. You need a business asset that works even when you're offline.This episode will help you rethink how you approach podcasting for business growth, email marketing, and small business strategies that actually support your life.Hit play, take what you need, and then go run your damn business.MORE FROM ME: Follow me on Instagram → @janditchfield.co RATE, REVIEW, & FOLLOW ON APPPLE PODCASTS "Jan put words to what I've been feeling about my business for years and then gave me the strategies to move it forward."

Send us a textWelcome back to the pod, its a pleasure to have Ross Taylor on and hear his journey.Ross didn't start triathlon until his late 30s — and he could barely swim.Fast forward, and he's now represented Great Britain nine times, completed multiple Ironman races, finished 6th at World Championships, and is still chasing a podium in his mid-50s.In this episode, Ross talks honestly about:Starting late in endurance sportSwitching from triathlon to duathlonFailing to qualify (and coming back stronger)Representing GB around the worldTackling the UTMB Snowdonia 100kWhy consistency beats talent over timeIf you've ever thought “I've left it too late”, this conversation might change your mind.

In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, host Hunter Donia and guest Jodie Brown talk about the client every stylist knows, the one that makes you dread your schedule before the week even starts. If you have ever felt anxious leading up to an appointment because you already know the client will be unhappy, uncomfortable to be around, or impossible to please, this episode walks you through how to let them go in a way that is firm, professional, and as low drama as possible.Hunter breaks down the real decision filter first, because not every uncomfortable moment means someone needs to be fired. But when a client is impacting your mental health, your confidence, or your ability to provide great service, keeping them is not kind to you or to them. You will learn how to stop people pleasing your way into resentment, how to frame the conversation so it feels like a service to the client, and how to protect your business if you are worried about backlash like angry messages or negative reviews.Key Takeaways:

TikTok Shop just tightened the screws on shipping—and a lot of brands are panicking. In this video (recorded January 22, 2026), I break down what TikTok's “Logistics Services” push actually means, what it doesn't mean, and why this is good news for real operators.The headline: TikTok is moving toward being the source of truth for labels + tracking (Amazon-style standards), which helps purge bad actors and clears the field for serious brands. TikTok has already been rolling out shipping policy upgrades (including requiring certain labels—like USPS—to be generated via TikTok Shipping). I'm Jordan West—former BC Ambulance paramedic turned entrepreneur. I've built 8 brands, 2 agencies, a software company, and a restaurant. Today, I help brands win on TikTok Shop and social commerce with systems that scale.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ What “TikTok Shop Logistics Services” really is (the data layer, not “fire your 3PL”)✅ The timeline brands should pay attention to (and how to plan for it)✅ 3 paths forward: label switch, middleware integration, and hybrid FBT✅ Why this change raises the barrier to entry—and helps serious brands win✅ A simple checklist to stay compliant and keep shipping on timeIf you're a serious operator, this is noise—not a threat.

Have you ever found yourself wondering…Why does change feel so hard, even when I know I'm ready?Why do I keep second-guessing myself?What if the thing blocking me isn't discipline... but something deeper? The key to finding your power might not be doing more, but instead trusting yourself again. In this episode, I'm joined by bestselling author and world renowned mentor Danette May for a deep conversation about intuition, worthiness, and how to get out of your own way.We unpack why so many women feel stuck not because they're broken, but because they've learned to ignore their inner knowing.And, we explore how health, food, and your own body become gateways to trusting yourself. In this conversation, you'll hear about:How intuition gets muted, and how to reconnect with itThe hidden ways that beliefs of unworthiness blocks progress with your health, joy, and personal expansionWhy fear often shows up right before we growHow to tell the difference between fear and intuitionCaring for your body from devotion, instead of disciplineThe small daily practices that strengthen self-trust over timeIf you're standing at the edge of change and wanting to feel healthier, more confident, and more connected to yourself, this episode is an invitation to soften, listen, and take the next step forward.Welcome to the Mastering Mindfulness Institute.Here, food becomes your greatest teacher, and your body becomes your wisest guide.www.MasteringMindfulness.instituteConnect with gina: @gina.worfulExplore Danette's workInstagram: @thedanettemayFacebook: Danette MayTikTok: @thedanettemayNEW TV Show on Youtube: @TheDanetteMayListen to The Danette May ShowRead my book: danettemay.com/embraceabundancebookGet The Rise book: therisebook.comWork with Danette: danettemay.com#selflove #healthandwellness #mindfuleating

Joe Pardavila sits down with Benjamin Douglas for a direct conversation about why so many workplaces settle for survival instead of commitment.Drawing on more than two decades in human resources, Ben explains how culture breaks down even inside successful companies, and why people disengage long before performance numbers show trouble. He shares the thinking behind his bestselling book, Mediocre to Meaningful, and why leadership choices, not strategy decks, shape belief and behavior at workBen walks through the power of listening before leading, why middle managers carry more pressure than executives realize, and how trust grows through follow through instead of slogans. He explains why doing more with less erodes culture, how honest feedback builds care rather than fear, and why purpose comes from daily decisions, not posters on the wall. The conversation stays practical, grounded, and focused on what leaders do when deadlines, stress, and real people collideThis episode speaks to leaders who want teams who care about the work, not teams who simply clock in and survive the day. It offers clear perspective on how small, intentional actions build meaning, trust, and performance over timeIf you want a workplace where people bring thought, care, and ownership to their work, this conversation gives you a clear place to start.

Emotions that don't drive action are pointless. They just drain your energy.In this episode, Itamar opens up about a challenging year and the lessons learned when his old playbook stopped working, how small integrity compromises create massive energy drains and lessons to move forward.Topics covered:Why unexercised emotions are the worst of both worldsHow identity can trap you when you need mobilityThe real price of exceptional results nobody talks aboutWhy he turned down money to prioritize family timeIf you have read the book, Elite Performance, and would be open to leaving an honest review, you can do so here.

When your stepkid says, “I miss my mom”  especially right after a consequence,  it hits different. It's not just the words; it's the sting behind them. The comparison. The reminder that no matter how much you love and show up, you're still not her.In this episode, Alicia dives into how to handle it when your stepchild brings up their mom whether it's “I miss her,” “She does it better,” or “Mom lets me.” You'll hear real stories (including one straight from The Stepmom Side Community), emotional insight, and a few hard truths about what's really happening when those words come out.Alicia breaks down:Why kids say things like “I miss my mom” and what they actually meanHow to stay calm and respond in a way that keeps your powerWhat not to do when it feels like manipulationSimple, validating phrases that defuse the tensionWhy leaning into the moment helps it lose power over timeIf you've ever felt like you're being compared, rejected, or just plain over it, this one's for you.

Being the only woman in the room is rarely just a professional experience. It is a psychological one.In this episode of Clover, we explore what happens internally when women navigate leadership spaces that were not designed with them in mind, and what it actually takes to stay steady inside those dynamics.In this episode, we cover:Why being the only woman in the room creates a constant layer of self-monitoring and internal laborHow awareness can quietly drain your energy when it gets turned inward as self-criticismThe survival strategies many women develop, and how over-adaptation slowly erodes self-trustHow to stay grounded before, during, and after high-stakes meetings in non-neutral roomsPractical ways to manage mixed signals and stop internalizing structural inconsistencyWhat power actually looks like when you are outnumbered, and how to build it over timeIf you have ever left a meeting feeling unsettled, questioned your readiness despite strong performance, or wondered whether you were imagining the dynamic, this conversation will resonate.You are not too early. You are not too much. And you do not need to contort yourself to belong. I'm glad you're here.

If you're a nonfiction author — especially a coach, consultant, speaker, or thought leader — you've probably wrestled with the question:"Should you focus on building your author brand first, or writing the book first?"In this episode of Your Path to Book Publishing, we slow this question down and look at what actually keeps capable authors stuck — and why the answer isn't as simple as choosing one over the other.You'll learn why waiting for clarity often creates more friction than progress, how author voice and positioning are shaped through action, and why the most successful nonfiction authors allow their book and brand to develop together over time.This episode reframes the question entirely and offers a practical way to move forward without feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck in planning mode.In this episode, you'll discover:Why “brand vs. book” is often the wrong question to askWhat truly prevents authors from getting startedHow author voice and positioning are developed through use, not theoryWhy focusing on one platform early can accelerate clarityA simple way to build momentum in both your book and your brand at the same timeIf you've been waiting to feel ready before starting your book or building your platform, this episode will help you rethink what readiness actually looks like.Learn more about Your Path to Book Publishing by visiting Juxtabook.com and discover if traditional publishing, self-publishing, or hybrid publishing is right for you.

There comes a time in life when we slow down long enough to look back — at choices we made, seasons we walked through, moments we wish were different, and lessons we only understand now with time and perspective.And if you're in a season of reflection… this conversation is for you.In this meaningful and gently honest interview with LaFon Jantz, we talk about Gregory Jantz's book Make Peace With Your Past — and how God helps us look at our story with wisdom, compassion, and HOPE instead of regret or shame.We talk about the turning points that shaped who we became…the unexpected chapters…the losses… the victories… the quiet growth…and the places where God was working — even when we didn't see it yet.This conversation isn't about rewriting the past.It's about understanding it… honoring it…and allowing God to bring healing, meaning, and HOPE through it.What you'll reflect on in this episode:• the seasons of life that changed how you see yourself and others• how to glean wisdom from your past without carrying the weight of it• how God gently redeems our story over time — one chapter at a timeIf you're looking back on life with questions, tenderness, or gratitude…May this conversation give you peace — and remind you that God has been with you every step of the way. ✝️

Step into a piece of corporate horror where the office isn't just soul-crushing—it might be haunted.In this episode, Jim reviews The Indigo Room by Stephen Graham Jones, a short, unsettling work that blurs the line between reality, perception, and the quiet dread of modern work life.As part of a collaborative collection of short horror reads—each written by a different author—The Indigo Room shows Jones working within constraints, delivering a tight, atmospheric story that keeps readers guessing. Is something supernatural happening… or is the horror rooted in burnout, isolation, and the pressures of corporate existence?Jim breaks down:• Why Stephen Graham Jones remains one of the most interesting voices in horror• How this story plays with ambiguity and perception• What works, what doesn't, and who this short read is best suited for• Why this isn't Jim's favorite Jones story—but still very much worth your timeIf you're new to Stephen Graham Jones, this is a fascinating sampler.

Every leader has power—whether they acknowledge it or not.In this solo mini-episode of Relationships at Work, host Russel Lolacher explores the often-overlooked reality of leadership influence and how even small words, actions, or moments of absence can leave a lasting imprint on people at work.Drawing from real leadership experiences and patterns he's seen across hundreds of conversations, Russel breaks down why leadership impact is never neutral—and why intent doesn't cancel out impact. From offhand comments to missed support, leaders shape trust, confidence, and culture in ways they may never see… but employees never forget.You'll walk away with:A clearer understanding of how leadership power actually shows up day to dayWhy positive and negative leadership moments can echo for yearsPractical ways to reflect on your leadership impact and course-correct in real timeIf you lead people—or influence their experience at work—this episode is a reminder that leadership always leaves a mark.

Most traders are taught to fear volatility—but volatility isn't the real danger.In this episode of the Learn to Swing Trade the Stock Market Podcast, Brian Montes explains why he does not trade stocks using leverage or margin, and why conflating volatility with risk is one of the most expensive mistakes retail traders make.You'll learn the critical difference between volatility and risk, how margin trading introduces hidden dangers like forced liquidation and time compression, and why disciplined swing traders actually benefit from volatility when trading without leverage.If you're swing trading, building a growth portfolio, or trying to trade consistently without blowing up your account, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about risk management.Volatility creates opportunity, not danger.Risk comes from over-leverage, not price movementMargin removes your margin of error and compresses your time horizonBrokers—not traders—control leveraged positions during volatility spikesSurvival is the first edge in tradingConsistency beats intensity every timeIf this episode helped reframe how you think about risk and volatility:

In this episode of Founder Talk, I sit down with Ryan Walsh, a drone industry veteran operating at the intersection of advanced technology, regulation, and global competition. We dive into what it really takes to build a tech company in heavily regulated industries, how drone innovation fell behind in the U.S., and what the growing conversation around UAPs reveals about advanced aerospace technology and how little the public actually understands about it.Ryan shares firsthand perspective from operating across global markets, including why Asia moved faster in drone adoption, how regulation shapes innovation more than founders expect, and what it really means to build hardware businesses where timelines and risk look very different from software. We also talk about the long, uncomfortable middle of entrepreneurship: sunk costs, delayed momentum, and the discipline required to keep going when results aren't immediate.We also explore the growing conversation around UAPs and what it reveals about how new technologies are misunderstood long before they're accepted. Ryan offers a grounded take on why many UAP sightings are likely tied to advanced aerospace and drone technology, and what that disconnect teaches founders about perception, narrative, and trust.You'll learn:✅ Why regulation and policy often matter more than the technology itself✅ How founders decide when to persist versus walk away✅ What drones, robotics, and AI signal about the future of logistics✅ Why UAP discussions highlight how society misunderstands new tech✅ How patience, discipline, and mission compound over timeIf you're building anything complex, regulated, or capital-intensive, this episode offers an honest look at the realities most founders never hear about.Connect with Ryan WalshGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan--walsh/Guest Website: https://www.valqari.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

Why are so many districts pouring resources into math PD but seeing so little classroom change?It's not because teachers aren't trying. It's not about motivation or willingness. The real reason is this: most systems aren't built to support true instructional transformation. In this episode, we unpack the disconnect between a district's vision for math learning and the day-to-day realities of classroom practice—and we make the case for math coaching as the essential lever most districts are missing.Drawing from research, real-world examples, and the common challenges we hear from district teams, Jon challenges leaders to rethink how professional learning is structured—especially when funding is limited, time is tight, and expectations are high.Listeners Will:Understand the research behind why math PD alone doesn't shift math instructionLearn how math instructional coaching dramatically increases classroom implementationExplore what it takes to design a system that supports consistent, lasting changeReflect on the “greatest good dilemma” and why starting small may be your best betGet inspired to build the next round of math leaders—one teacher at a timeIf your district is serious about improving math instruction, press play and discover the one investment that creates real, sustainable impact.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Most leaders treat development like a checkbox — a course, a conference, an annual review. But what if the real key to growth and retention isn't an event… but a relationship?In this episode of Relationships at Work, Russel sits down with leadership and career development expert Julie Winkle Giulioni to rethink how growth actually happens at work — through trust, curiosity, and small, meaningful moments shared every day.Julie breaks down why:Development only happens when people feel supported“No time” is a leadership myth (and how great leaders use micro-moments)Curiosity is the gateway to better conversationsLeaders must model their own learningThe multidimensional career framework goes far beyond promotionsDaily questions can build engagement, growth, and retentionDevelopment transforms workplace culture one relationship at a timeIf you want to grow your people, deepen trust, build stronger teams, and become a leader people want to work for — this conversation will change how you think about development forever.

Hans and Brian sit down with the Tax Sherpa team—Neal, Serena, and Fatma —to walk through the tax implications of options trading before it's too late to do anything about it.Most in the Remnant caucus of the Low Stress Options community haven't filed a tax return reflecting this trading activity yet. They're tracking weekly income in their spreadsheets and assume that's what they'll owe taxes on—but the brokerage statements tell a completely different story. The bottom line? If you're making real money trading options, you need actual tax strategy in place now—not in March when it's too late to make adjustments.Chapters: 00:00 - Opening segment02:20 - How options are actually taxed (short-term capital gains, rolling, assignments)06:05 - Active trader vs passive trader: do you want professional trader status?08:35 - The $3,000 capital loss limit explained (and why it's basically a slap in the face)11:05 - Offsetting gains with losses: you can deduct more than $3,000 in the current year13:45 - Tax loss harvesting and why FREC's approach is interesting15:00 - How rolling options creates separate taxable events17:05 - Why the $3,000 limit was never inflation-adjusted (it should be $25-30K today)18:15 - Gambling losses and why they only offset gambling wins20:25 - What your brokerage statement will actually show vs what the tracker shows22:40 - Real estate as a "tax sponge" for offsetting capital gains24:00 - Interest tracing: deducting policy loan interest on Schedule A26:00 - Should you use one policy exclusively for investment loans?28:25 - Why you shouldn't be doing this with TurboTax29:00 - Mortgage interest deduction limits after the Big Beautiful Bill35:20 - Using an LLC for trading: real estate, consulting, or all-in-one?37:55 - Why crypto taxes are endlessly complex (smart contracts, staking, DeFi)47:15 - Wash sale rule: does getting assigned invoke it?55:30 - The Tax Sherpa process: survey, planning, executionKey Takeaways:Options are taxed as short-term capital gains (at your ordinary income rate) in 99% of cases—each contract is a separate taxable event, so rolling creates multiple transactionsThe $3,000 capital loss limit is the NET position—you can offset unlimited gains plus an additional $3,000, then carry forward the remainder into future yearsYour brokerage tracker shows return on equity; Schwab reports each individual trade—they're answering different questions, which is why people are often pleasantly surprised at tax timeIf you're using policy loans to fund trading, you can deduct the interest on Schedule A through interest tracing—but you have to actually pay it and document the allocationProfessional trader status (mark-to-market accounting) is almost never advantageous unless trading is literally your full-time business with substantial daily activity and deductible expensesCustodial accounts for kids don't provide much tax benefit due to kiddie tax rules—and they count against the student for financial aid purposes, unlike parent-held assetsDo your tax planning NOW, not in March—once the year is over, you've lost the ability to make strategic adjustments that could save you tens of thousands of dollarsGot Questions?

Most founders say they want a smarter team, but they keep handing their people training that makes them dumb.In this episode of Founder Talk, I sit down with Erin Huizenga, founder of Desk Light and author of Learning in the Wild, to break down how to build a team of relentless learners and why that is one of the fastest ways to grow a business.Erin shares why most workplace learning fails. It is punitive, boring, and designed like compliance instead of a real product. She argues that if your learning experience is not something employees want to come back to, you are not training a team, you are burning time. We talk about how to make learning craveable, human-centered, and designed for how adults actually learn.We also explore the real business upside. Better learning is not a “nice to have.” It is a growth engine. It drives retention, sharper execution, faster upskilling, and a culture where people keep improving even when you are not in the room. Erin outlines what a real learning ecosystem looks like, not a one-off course, but a system that links onboarding, micro-learning, mentorship, reflection, and real-world practice.Erin also explains how AI fits into this future. Not as a replacement for thinking, but as a “dance partner” that supports creativity and recall. The companies that win will be the ones who help their teams learn how to learn, not the ones who dump more content into a portal.You'll learn: ✅ Why most employee training does not work ✅ How to design learning people actually want ✅ What makes adults learn faster and retain more ✅ How learning culture drives retention and business scale ✅ How to build a learning ecosystem, not a checkbox program ✅ Where AI helps teams grow, and where it hurts ✅ Why “craveable learning” beats compliance every timeIf you want to scale without becoming the bottleneck, this episode is your blueprint. Building a team of relentless learners is not just about education. It is about building a company that keeps getting better on purpose.Connect with Erin Huezinga:Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinhuizenga/Guest Website: https://desklightlearning.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

If you thought SEO was complicated…meet its AI-powered cousin.In this episode, Carly and Joe break down the buzzword that dominated INBOUND, AEO (AI Engine Optimization), and explain what it actually means for solopreneurs. Spoiler: it's not about gaming algorithms or chasing clicks. It's about making sure your voice, ideas, and frameworks show up when AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini answer your audience's questions.You'll learn:What AEO really is (and what it isn't)The small tweaks that help your content stand out in AI search resultsWhy clarity > cleverness in your copyAnd why human connection still beats machine optimization every timeIf you've ever wondered how to future-proof your visibility without losing your authenticity, this one's for you.FAQs From The EpisodeWhat's the difference between SEO and AEO, and do I really need both? SEO helps search engines (like Google) find you. AEO helps AI engines (like ChatGPT or Perplexity) understand and surface your content. While SEO is still valuable, AEO focuses more on structure, clarity, and credibility signals that make AI choose you as the source when answering questions. You don't need to overhaul everything. Just start optimizing for both audiences: humans and machines.I'm a coach/consultant/service provider. Does AEO even matter for me? For most solopreneurs, relationships and referrals still drive the majority of business. But AEO is a long-term play. If someone asks an AI tool, “Who's the best productivity coach for solopreneurs?” or “What's the SMOOTH method?”—you want your name, content, or frameworks to appear. It's not urgent, but it's smart to start now so you're discoverable later.What's one simple AEO tweak I can make today? Add an FAQ section (like this!) to your website or blog posts. AI scrapes well-structured Q&A content, and it's one of the easiest ways to signal authority. Bonus tip: use clear, direct language over clever wording. AI prioritizes clarity, and so do readers.
