When was the last time you paused before taking action to ask, “What problem am I really trying to solve?” In this episode, I sit down with Kendra MacDonald, CEO of Canada's Ocean Supercluster, to unravel what it means to lead with purpose in a rapidly changing world. The conversation starts with her daring career move from a global role at Deloitte to building a new organization from the ground up, which was fueled by a passion for meaningful innovation.If you've ever questioned your own courage to change course or felt the tug-of-war between personal boundaries and professional expectations, Kendra offers practical wisdom. She talks through her steps to manage risk when taking on something new, using self-reflection rather than bravado to guide decision-making. Facing imposter syndrome? She's been there too, and her advice is grounded and honest: focus on your unique contributions and let curiosity lead, especially when you're the newcomer in the room.For leaders building teams, or founders starting with just a vision, the conversation surfaces actionable insights such as the crucial role of constant communication, the importance of recognizing and rewarding small acts of courage in teams, and the need to set and protect personal boundaries to stave off burnout. Kendra is transparent about the challenges of remote work and the ongoing experiment to keep her own organization connected across digital distance.True leadership is about the quality of the questions we ask ourselves and others. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about how we can do both.What You'll Learn- Strategies for overcoming the fear of career pivots.- How to motivate teams to embrace innovation… without being annoying!- Balance operational realities with purpose-driven missions.- Build a thriving remote team culture.- Overcoming imposter syndrome and leading as an introvert.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Career Journey: From Deloitte to Ocean Economy(07:06) – Innovating with Purpose: Framing the Right Problem(09:45) – Courage to Change: Navigating Career Transitions(12:29) – Building Organizations from the Ground Up(15:17) – Setting Boundaries & Personal Clarity in Leadership(18:13) – Leading as an Introvert: Speaking, Visibility & Energy(24:28) – Top Leadership Qualities for Today's World(28:15) – Motivating Teams & Driving Innovation(39:09) – Leading in AI & Tech-Driven TimesKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Innovation, Purpose-Driven Leadership, Career Transition, Technology Adoption, Artificial Intelligence, Continuous Learning, Remote Work Culture, Organizational Culture, Psychological Safety, Courage, Resilience, Authenticity, Global Mindset, Diversity in Leadership, Work-Life Boundaries, Imposter Syndrome, Trust, Team-Building, Ethics in AI, Burnout Prevention, Curiosity, Change Management, Mentoring, CEO Success

In "Vanity Metrics Don't Move Freight: Building Real Pipeline in Freight-Tech", Joe Lynch and Jim Waters, Fractional CMO and Founder of FreightTech (marketing), discuss how marketing must shift from a tactical cost center to a strategic operating system that drives real revenue. About Jim Waters Jim Waters is a Boston-based B2B marketing executive with a proven track record of building robust sales pipelines. His passion lies in driving meaningful conversations, understanding customer pain points, and creating compelling content that generates active pipeline velocity. A results-driven innovator, Jim was an early employee at both FRAYT and Tive, where he spearheaded Global Marketing. Jim's entrepreneurial spirit led him to build successful marketing teams at Coveo, (CVO.TO), FAST (MSFT) and StreamServe (NASDAQ: OTEX). He earned an MBA from Northeastern University and is now Founder of FreighTech Advisors fractional CMO and advisor services to companies in the Logistics Technology industry. About FreighTech FreighTech is a company that delivers fractional CMO consulting, content development, marketing and advisory services specifically to logistics technology businesses. The company was founded in 2023 by Jim Waters, a logistics and supply chain marketing veteran. Key Takeaways: Vanity Metrics Don't Move Freight: Building Real Pipeline in Freight-Tech In "Vanity Metrics Don't Move Freight: Building Real Pipeline in Freight-Tech", Joe Lynch and Jim Waters, Fractional CMO and Founder of FreightTech (marketing), discuss how marketing must shift from a tactical cost center to a strategic operating system that drives real revenue. FreighTech's Specialization: Founded in 2023, FreighTech provides fractional CMO consulting and marketing advisory services specifically for logistics technology businesses. Jim Waters leverages his deep industry experience (having scaled companies like Tive and Frayt) to help growth-stage startups turn marketing from a cost center into a revenue-generating engine without the overhead of a full-time executive. Marketing as a Portfolio: Jim argues that marketing should be treated as an investment portfolio, not a one-off cost. Just like a financial portfolio or a fitness routine, it requires time and consistency. Companies often fail because they "micromanage" their marketing, expecting an immediate ROI within two weeks, rather than allowing for the 6–9 month cycle often required to see real pipeline growth. The Death of the Cold Call and the Rise of "Stalking": The traditional sales model of making 100 cold calls a day is losing effectiveness because buyers now screen calls and conduct their own research online. Joe and Jim discuss how the buying process starts long before the sales process, with potential customers "stalking" a company's content on LinkedIn, YouTube, and podcasts for up to a year before ever engaging with a salesperson. Navigating the 2026 Visibility Shift (SEO, GEO, and AEO):  Visibility in 2026 requires more than just traditional Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Jim introduces two critical new concepts: GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): Ensuring your brand is cited by AI engines like ChatGPT and Gemini as a subject matter expert. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization): Structuring content to directly answer binary buyer questions (e.g., "How do I improve ROI in logistics marketing?"). The "Revenue Engine Blueprint" Basics: Before scaling, companies must master the basics. Jim emphasizes that a "blueprint" requires a clear understanding of the Total Addressable Market (TAM) and a refined Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). Without knowing exactly who you solve problems for, adding expensive tech stacks like Salesforce or HubSpot is simply "accelerating into a wall." The Danger of "Chainsaw" Customers: Jim shares a cautionary tale from his time at Tive about a salesperson wanting to tape a high-end tracker to a chainsaw to prevent theft. While any revenue is tempting, Jim warns that chasing customers outside your ICP is not repeatable or scalable. True growth comes from "niching down" to focus on fans and specific verticals (like Pharma or Cold Chain) rather than trying to be everything to everyone. Multiplying Reach through a Distribution Engine: Content is only half the battle; the other half is a distribution engine. This involves using a "one-to-many" strategy—leveraging partners, PR, and podcasts to amplify a single piece of high-quality thought leadership. By turning one conversation into video clips, articles, and social posts, companies build the authenticity and trust necessary for modern freight-tech sales.

Lucien Besse of Shippeo talks about navigating supply chain chaos; data quality & continuous improvement; AI; and the keys to visibility project success.   IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [03.38] An introduction to Lucien and the journey that led him to co-found Shippeo. [07.07] The biggest sources of chaos for supply chain teams, and why they need flexibility and visibility. "Supply chain managers need to make hundreds of decisions every day, every hour, every minute – they need to navigate uncertainty every single day, and that hasn't changed… What has really changed is the number of disruptions." [09.28] Why supply chain professionals are 'the calm in the storm,' what even small problems amidst the backdrop of chaos mean for businesses, and how Shippeo help customers with both inbound and outbound challenges. [15.00] The big issues that sit behind supply chain chaos, and why trust in data is crucial. "Visibility is a commodity, everybody needs it. But accurate visibility is not a commodity. The reliability of the information you provide to the customer needs to be correct, and they need to have the ability to take action. Because the end goal is not just to look at an ETA on a platform, it's to take an action." [18.02] The importance of data quality and why it's a continuous improvement project. "When we talk to our customers, we tell the truth. There is work to be done, there's no magic wand. It's continuous improvement." "Visibility is about technology, but also about process and people." [23.47] The importance of honesty and setting clear expectations in communications with customers, and why three-way collaboration between vendors, carriers and customers is key. [28.37] How data issues impact the success of AI, and how Shippeo is leveraging AI for customers. "There are two main pillars when it comes to AI – data quality and automation of manual tasks, and making visibility actionable through workflows." [33.31] What success looks like, how organizations can ensure their visibility projects are a success, and why change management relies on understanding people and their daily habits. [40.13] The two core areas Shippeo will be focusing on in 2026.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to Shippeo's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

This week on How to Be Famous, I'm getting real about one of the biggest misconceptions in the creator world — that fame, success, or “making it” will finally make you happy. Spoiler alert: it won't. In this episode, I share what I've learned (the hard way) about redefining why we chase visibility in the first place — and how to rewire your nervous system to feel safe being seen. We talk about: The Double Slit Experiment and how it mirrors the way creators collapse their own potential when they feel watched. The “fight, flight, freeze, or fawn” responses that show up when you're stepping into new levels of visibility. How to stay in your creative flow when your brain wants to shut down. Why your home, your art, and your identity are all reflections of one another. The truth about why happiness can't be your goal — and what to focus on instead. This episode is a must-listen if you've ever thought: “What if I'm not special?” or “What if I never make it?” I'll help you reconnect to the part of you that's already a creator — the version that makes art even when no one's watching. Because fame isn't the reward… becoming who you're meant to be is.

et pitched new recruiting technology all the time. New ATSs, new “AI-powered” platforms, new promises to fix what's broken in talent acquisition. So when someone first told me I needed to check out PerfectHire, another ATS, my reaction was pretty predictable: Here we go again. But then they added something that piqued my curiosity: "ATS+". That's what pulled me into a conversation with Matt Schalsey, founder (or co-founder, depending on how you count it) of Perfect Hire, and the guest on this episode of HR Famous. And the deeper we went, the clearer it became this wasn't a rip-and-replace ATS with a few shiny features slapped on top. This was a complete rethink of how recruiting technology should actually work. Matt's background isn't traditional HR tech; it's sales enablement. And that matters. Sales figured out years ago what recruiting is still struggling with: high performers don't win because they work harder on admin. They win because technology removes friction, so they can focus on what actually drives results. Conversations. Relationships. Decisions. That's the core idea behind Perfect Hire. Instead of forcing recruiters into rigid workflows, Perfect Hire breaks the ATS down to its foundation and rebuilds it around recruiter enablement, not just tracking activity, but driving outcomes. Matt and his team talked to more than 300 TA leaders to understand why they hate their ATSs (and let's be honest, almost everyone does). The answers weren't shocking: too much admin, no visibility, no accountability, and tools that slow people down rather than speed them up. Where things get really interesting is how Perfect Hire uses AI. This isn't “type the right prompt and hope for the best” AI. The platform is designed so that AI works quietly in the background, informing decisions, automating scheduling, generating interview questions, reducing bias, and keeping pipelines moving without recruiters having to babysit the system. We also talked about something the industry doesn't discuss enough: accountability. Most ATSs give you dashboards, but they don't really tell you who's performing, where capacity is breaking down, or what happens when leadership suddenly increases hiring by 30%. Perfect Hire connects recruiting execution to forecasting, workforce planning, and even retention, so TA leaders can have real business conversations instead of crossing their fingers and hoping it all works out. And for hiring managers? Visibility finally makes sense. Instead of being angry because they don't know what's happening, they can actually see progress, bottlenecks, and next steps without needing recruiters to translate ATS chaos into English. This episode is a must-listen if: You're tired of ATSs that track work instead of enabling it You believe recruiting should operate more like sales (because it is) You care about accountability, outcomes, and doing more with fewer resources If recruiting is truly critical to your business—and not just something you tolerate—this conversation will challenge how you think about talent technology. Watch or listen to the full episode of HR Famous and see why PerfectHire might be the future of recruiting.

Zibby shares how her work as a podcaster grew from meaningful conversations with authors into live events, publishing, and a broader community shaped by paying close attention to what resonated. How do you keep building when there is no clear roadmap and the business keeps changing?Zibby shares how she makes decisions inside a business that refuses to stay static. She explains how creating an umbrella brand helped her clarify who the company exists for and what truly belongs, even when that meant letting go of projects she loved. Structure arrived when it was necessary, not because she chased scale, but because the work demanded it.Zibby also talks about the cost of showing up publicly with conviction after October 7th. She reflects on backlash, strained relationships, and the emotional weight of choosing to speak openly.

As therapists, many of us feel a deep tension when it comes to pricing—especially when we're creating group offers, workshops, or professional-facing experiences during uncertain social, political, and economic times.In this coaching episode, I sit down with trauma therapist Kim Torrence to explore what really comes up when we try to assign value to our work: fears about accessibility, old beliefs about service and self-sacrifice, money shame, and the pressure to “get it right” before we ever put an offer out into the world.This conversation goes far beyond the math of pricing. Together, we unpack the emotional and mindset barriers that often keep therapists stuck offering their most meaningful work for free or far below what's sustainable.If you're navigating private practice finances, pricing group offers, or wondering how to honor both your values and your own well-being, this episode is here to support you with clarity, reassurance, and grounded next steps.Charging for Group Work in Your Therapy PracticeWe talk about why pricing is deeply connected to mindset and visibility, not just numbers, and how perfectionism or overcomplicated tech can quietly keep meaningful offers stuck on the sidelines. Our conversation centers on starting simply, naming your value clearly, and allowing confidence to build through real-world action.(00:06:02) Helping Others Through Feelings of Loneliness(00:07:17) Operating Business as Usual During a Crisis(00:12:16) Valuing Self-Care for Therapists(00:14:50) Authentic Healing for Deep Thinkers(00:18:29) B2B Value and Pricing Insights(00:21:18) Valuing Group Offerings Effectively(00:24:52) Self-Worth and Vulnerability(00:26:36) Creating a Supportive Success Container(00:31:57) Gather Feedback, Build Testimonials(00:33:42) Stop Overcomplicating Your Work(00:36:24) Owning Your Value in PracticeFrom Free to Paid: Navigating Pricing, Visibility, and Worth as a TherapistIf Kim's experience feels familiar, you're not alone. Here are a few reflections and actions I invite you to consider as you navigate pricing, worthiness, and financial sustainability in your own practice:Give your offer the credit it deserves.Even a lunch-hour workshop or short group can be deeply transformational. Duration and ease do not determine impact.Price for the right people, not everyone.Instead of focusing on who can't afford your offer, get clear on who it's truly for—especially when your work supports other professionals who carry that value forward into their own communities.Separate worth from accessibility narratives.Pricing your work sustainably doesn't make you selfish or out of touch. It allows you to keep showing up, serving, and caring for yourself long-term.Keep it simple and start anyway.You don't need a perfect website, branding, or tech stack. A clear Google Doc explaining who the offer is for, why it matters, and how to join is more than enough to begin.Your skills, knowledge, and presence—yes, even in a modest group format—are valuable. Pricing them too low doesn't make your work more accessible; it often just makes it harder to keep...

You're posting consistently. Writing newsletters that take hours. You've got the degrees, certifications, and experience. But when someone searches for what you do? You're nowhere. If you've ever thought, "I've tried everything and nothing works," this conversation is for you.

Together, they explore the difference between being an influencer and running a sustainable business, why "I've tried everything" usually means you haven't, and the power of owning your voice even when it makes people uncomfortable.   IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: The biggest visibility mistake experts make (and why corporate training keeps you invisible) Why becoming visible to yourself comes before marketing to the world How to use AI as your assistant—not your brain Breaking the performance bonds that keep you playing small Why your visibility must make money, not just noise The "to what end" question that should guide every visibility decision How to stop being nice and start being real in your marketing Why the only critics who matter are ahead of you on the path   READY TO BUILD A BUSINESS YOU LOVE?

The foremost concern addressed in this briefing pertains to the significant lake effect snow impacting regions downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario, where winter storm warnings are currently in effect. The National Weather Service has indicated that snowfall rates may reach an alarming 2 to 3 inches per hour, accompanied by hazardous blowing and drifting snow, culminating in near whiteout conditions that are expected to persist through Wednesday afternoon. Furthermore, marine hazards on the Great Lakes have been exacerbated by heavy freezing spray warnings, which pose a substantial threat to vessels in these frigid waters. In addition to the winter weather, a G4 severe geomagnetic storm watch has been issued, suggesting possible disruptions to high-frequency radio, GPS, and satellite operations, while offering the potential for auroras to be visible under clear skies in various parts of the United States. As we navigate these multifaceted weather challenges, we urge our listeners to remain vigilant and prepared for the conditions ahead.Takeaways:* The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings due to lake effect snow.* Marine hazards are present on the Great Lakes, with warnings for heavy freezing spray.* A G4 severe geomagnetic storm watch has been confirmed, affecting radio and GPS systems.* Wind chill temperatures in Southeast Michigan are dangerously low, reaching -15 degrees Fahrenheit.* Additional snowfall of 6 to 12 inches is expected in certain areas of New York.* Stagnant air and dense fog advisories are currently being issued in parts of Washington.Sources[NWS Baltimore/Washington | briefing/outlook, https://www.weather.gov/lwx/][NWS Boston/Norton | hazards, https://www.weather.gov/box/][NWS Detroit/Pontiac | homepage hazards, https://www.weather.gov/dtx/][NWS Buffalo | warnings/HWO, https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=buf&wwa=all][NWS Cleveland | marine warning, https://www.weather.gov/cle/marine_forecast][NWS Portland | hazards page, https://www.weather.gov/pqr/][NWS Cleveland | Lake Erie marine warning, https://www.weather.gov/cle/marine_forecast][NWS Houston/Galveston | homepage briefing, https://www.weather.gov/hgx/][NWS Seattle | hazards/air stagnation, https://www.weather.gov/sew/] This is a public episode.

Most coaches don't have a content problem.They have a conversion problem.They're showing up.They're posting.They're “doing the work.”And yet… revenue isn't scaling.Here's what's really happening behind the scenes

In today's episode, Shelby reflects on graduating 28 clients and experiencing her first week without active clients since 2022. She delivers a candid reality check about building a coaching business: no one is special or exempt from the fundamental rules of business. Success doesn't come from passion, manifestation, or good intentions alone—it requires consistent action, discipline, and a willingness to do hard things repeatedly. Shelby emphasizes that feeling too comfortable in your business is actually a warning sign, and entrepreneurs must constantly find their growth edge to keep their businesses alive and thriving.Shelby outlines five non-negotiable rules that apply to every coach:People buy because they feel seen and you invite them (not because you're passionate)Visibility matters because no one can buy from you if they don't know you existConsistency beats brilliance every single timeNo one is coming to rescue you so you must execute on your ownTime alone doesn't build your business—only action does.She challenges listeners to track their actual working hours in 15-minute increments for three days to see how much time they're truly spending on business-building activities versus scrolling or just thinking about work.You don't need to be special—you just need to be willing to show up when it's boring, awkward, or uncomfortable, and follow your plan even when you don't feel like it. While entrepreneurship is undeniably hard and requires grit and repetition, there are also incredible high points along the way—celebratory moments that should be bottled up as fuel for the challenging seasons that inevitably come.Watch full episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/DJcR-_yM1L0Connect with us:Instagram: @successfulnursecoachesWebsite: www.thesuccessfulnursecoaches.comJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesuccessfulnursecoachMentioned in this episode:Nurse Coach ResidencyYou don't need more information — you need a container that makes action unavoidable.

Being visible on LinkedIn can help you get found by your ideal audience, but if you aren't leveraging the platform to its fullest potential, you can still be overlooked. For many business women who post content regularly, the authority, invitations, and opportunities they desire are still falling short. What many discover is that doing all of the right things on LinkedIn doesn't mean you are a 'discoverable expert.' In Episode 474 of the Amplify Your Success podcast, I'm joined by Karen Yankovich, LinkedIn and PR expert for women entrepreneurs, to unpack what is actually creating authority right now and why visibility without credibility no longer moves the needle. Karen and I talk about the difference between being active on LinkedIn and being positioned, how PR accelerates trust in ways content alone cannot, and why midlife women are uniquely suited to lead with experience, perspective, and presence. We also explore how authority compounds over time when visibility is anchored in identity, relevance, and contribution, not noise. If you are tired of blending in, want your expertise to be recognized, and are ready for LinkedIn to open real doors, this conversation will help you see what needs to shift.   Key Takeaways: [00:00] Why LinkedIn visibility alone no longer creates authority or opportunity. [04:12] The difference between posting content and being positioned as a thought leader. [07:35] How PR elevates credibility and accelerates trust beyond social media. [10:28] Why midlife women have a natural advantage in building authority right now. [13:44] The identity shift required to move from expert to recognized leader. [17:02] How strategic visibility compounds into long-term influence and opportunity. [20:16] Why authority is built through relevance and proximity, not volume. [23:41] What it means to lead with perspective instead of chasing engagement.   About The Guest:  Karen Yankovich is the CEO of Uplevel Media and host of the Good Girls Get Rich podcast, where she teaches ambitious women how to turn their brilliance into bank through the power of LinkedIn and PR. Known as the "LinkedIn Fairy Godmother," Karen helps midlife women step out of invisibility and into thought leadership — landing high-ticket opportunities, media features, and brand collaborations that grow both income and impact. After decades in corporate and entrepreneurship, Karen saw too many brilliant women underselling themselves, so she built her signature She's LinkedUp programs to change that. Her clients learn to magnetize opportunity with modern strategies that blend soulful energy work with the practical magic of visibility — because wealthy women change the world. When she's not helping clients reignite their careers, you'll find her recharging by the ocean in New Jersey, wrangling her four kids and six grandkids, or recording her next podcast episode with a cup of coffee and a big dose of Jersey real talk. Karen believes visibility is an act of service — and that every woman deserves to be known, valued, and richly compensated for the work she loves.

Enterprise SEO teams track AI visibility without measuring business impact. Eli Schwartz, growth advisor who's driven millions in organic revenue for Tinder, Coinbase, and LinkedIn, reveals why current visibility tracking resembles "impression tracking without attribution." He outlines first-click attribution frameworks that demonstrate SEO's true $200M revenue contribution, competitive share-of-voice analysis that prioritizes market positioning over granular prompt tracking, and sustainable citation strategies that focus on quantity over manipulated mentions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Podcast SEO and monetization strategies tailored for local businesses is today's episode discussion. Favour Obasi-ike emphasizes the importance of metadata, noting that elements like podcast titles, descriptions, and author names serve as critical search signals for discovery.By treats these fields as structured data, creators can establish local authority and ensure their content surfaces in specific user queries across platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts.The source further highlights the compounding value of backlinking, explaining how consistent episode releases create a vast network of searchable links that drive traffic back to a brand's website. Ultimately, the text argues that a well-optimized podcast acts as a long-term intellectual property asset that builds credibility and solves audience problems through searchable, evergreen audio content.In the 2026 search ecosystem, local visibility is no longer a matter of chance; it is a matter of engineering. This episode serves as a strategic blueprint for local businesses to command "page dominance" by transforming audio content into a high-authority digital asset. By deploying a "spread map" strategy—scaling influence from local roots to international authority—business owners can ensure their brand is the definitive answer to specific consumer queries.The objective is to move beyond the "hobbyist" mindset and treat podcasting as a capital-efficient SEO machine. We explore how to build an "engine" that runs independently via technical metadata and RSS syndication, allowing your brand to reside permanently in the search database.Key Takeaways for Local Business Owners1. Metadata is Your Search ID: Your title, author field, and description must match the exact phrases your customers use. If your "ID" doesn't match the search query, the algorithm cannot process your "legal documents," and your business remains invisible.2. Exploit the 50x50 Rule: Syndication is a volume game. By appearing on 50 platforms, you create thousands of high-authority backlinks. This sheer volume of structured data makes your brand unavoidable in local searches.3. Implementation over Information: ROI is the result of action, not note-taking. Podcasting is a long-term index fund for your brand; the earlier you start the "audio documentation," the more interest your digital legacy accrues. Move from "doer" to "architect" today.Need to Book An Appointment?>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Complimentary SEO Discovery Call with Favour Obasi-Ike⁠>> Visit Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> Read SEO Articles>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> Purchase Flaev Beatz Beats OnlinePodcast Timestamps[00:00:00] – The Spread Map: Establishing the strategic journey from local business to international brand authority.[00:03:00] – Statistical Authority: Reviewing personal benchmarks (600 episodes, 156 countries) as a model for growth.[00:06:00] – The Harry Potter Paradox: Why naming your show for the "benefit" is the only way to be found before you are famous.[00:10:00] – The Psychology of Blue Links: Why "Blue Links" signify trust and confidence in the search results.[00:14:00] – Spotify Signal Case Study: Using the phrase "workout habits for men over 40" to identify exact-match search signals.[00:22:00] – Compounding Link Math: The 50x50 breakdown of how to generate 2,500 links across platforms like SiriusXM and iHeart.[00:31:00] – The Celese Interaction: Overcoming ADHD and task-paralysis by choosing documentation over perfection.[00:45:00] – The Legacy Challenge: Transitioning from a task-based worker to a legacy-based brand architect.The Mathematics of Syndication & The "Compounding Effect"Strategic dominance is a function of Depth and Cadence. While frequency is important, "Depth" is determined by your average episode length. A 60-minute episode provides sixty times more data points for an algorithm to index than a one-minute clip.The true ROI of podcasting is found in the Compounding Link Formula:50 Episodes (One year of weekly audio documentation) x 50 Distribution Platforms (Apple, Spotify, SiriusXM, Podchaser, Castbox, iHeart, etc.) = 2,500 High-Authority BacklinksThis volume creates a "digital balloon that never pops." As you add more helium (content), the structure becomes stiffer and more secure. To maximize this, maintain a Cadence (release cycle) closer to "1" (daily). A faster cadence spins the RSS feed more frequently, signaling to search engines that your brand is an active, relevant authority.The following 15 monetization levers are the tactical parameters required to convert conversational documentation into long-term ROI and a lasting digital legacy.Episode Breakdown on the 15 Monetization StrategiesPART 1: CORE DISCOVERY METADATA (Your Digital ID Card)1. Podcast TitleExecution: Match the show name to the specific topic or core benefit your audience seeks.So What? Listeners search for solutions and interests, not your name. A descriptive title ensures discoverability in search before you have a famous brand.2. Podcast DescriptionExecution: Exploit the full ~4,000-character limit as a "Search Bank." Use refined keywords, clear value propositions, and a strong call-to-action.So What? This is your show's primary Search ID. If it doesn't match user queries, algorithms can't "read" or rank your content effectively.3. Author/Host FieldExecution: Strategically expand your name with professional identifiers (e.g., "Alex Chen | Venture Capital Analyst").So What? This data feeds APIs and LLMs, establishing your niche authority within recommendation systems and digital assistants.4. Genre & Category SelectionExecution: Use platform hierarchies (e.g., ListenNotes, Apple) to select precise Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary categories.So What? Correct categorization moves you from competing with millions of general shows to dominating a specific, interested listener ecosystem.5. Episode TitleExecution: Adopt a clear, "Guest-First" or "Topic-First" naming convention (e.g., "Dr. Sarah Lee: The Neuroscience of Sleep").So What? It maximizes clarity for listeners and SEO. A guest's name at the front captures their audience and amplifies "link juice" to that episode URL.6. Episode DescriptionExecution: Implement web-style formatting: use H2/H3 headers, bullet points, timestamps, and hyperlinks to key resources.So What? Structured data helps both listeners scan and bots "dissect" your content, boosting engagement metrics and canonical linking power.PART 2: VISUAL & TECHNICAL EXECUTION7. Podcast Cover ArtExecution: Command professionalism with compliant, 3000 x 3000 pixels, visually simple art that is legible at thumbnail size.So What? High-quality, optimized art provides an immediate competitive edge against the significant portion of shows using amateur visuals.8. Episode Cover Art (Optional but Powerful)Execution: For key interviews, create guest-centric visuals that differ from your main show art.So What? Visual differentiation in a subscriber's feed signals unique, fresh value, increasing click-through rates for specific high-interest topics.9. Ad Roll PlacementsExecution: Strategically engineer ad breaks: pre-roll (for direct response), mid-roll (for highest attention), post-roll (for brand storytelling).So What? These are primary monetization vehicles. Placement affects listener retention and ad performance by capturing attention at different psychological stages.10. RSS Feed ManagementExecution: Balance your public RSS feed with private, gated feeds (via platforms like Hello Audio or Supercast) for bonus or premium content.So What? Private feeds enable direct community monetization and foster loyalty by delivering exclusive, "trust-based" content to high-value subscribers.PART 3: DISTRIBUTION & AMPLIFICATION11. Email & Affiliate LeverageExecution: Use automated tools to turn podcast transcripts into newsletter content that drives traffic to affiliate offers or key resources.So What? This captures high-intent listeners where they live (their inbox), converting passive listening into measurable action.12. Social Media DistributionExecution: Systematically cross-post short, thematic audio clips (with captions and video) to platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram.So What? It transforms one hour of recording into weeks of "top-of-funnel" awareness, building connection volume and attracting new audiences.13. Backlink GenerationExecution: Understand that every major hosting platform (Spotify, Apple) creates a backlink to your website from your show profile.So What? This generates vital "link juice" from high-authority domains, strengthening your primary website's search engine ranking.14. Website Integration & AnalyticsExecution: Host a dedicated podcast page on your site and connect it to Google Search Console.So What? This allows you to track how people find and interact with your podcast via search, providing data to refine your topic and keyword strategy.15. Sonic Branding (Musical Intelligence)Execution: Deploy a distinct instrumental theme for each season or series.So What? A fresh sonic identity signals a new "era" or focus for your show, boosting production value and maintaining listener retention through auditory novelty.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The hidden cost of silence—and the power of speaking up Kae Kronthaler-Williams is a global software marketing executive, speaker, and unapologetic advocate for women who refuse to shrink at work. With three decades in tech, she's seen the system from the inside—and she's done playing nice with broken cultures. Through bold storytelling, public speaking, executive coaching, and nonprofit leadership, Kae calls out bias, confronts toxic workplaces, and helps women reclaim their power. Her mission is simple and radical: make sure every woman is seen, supported, and equipped to lead. Because when women rise, organizations—and entire industries—rise with them. Visibility. Equity.

Not Made For You pulls back the curtain on the unspoken realities women face in tech and corporate America: sexism, harassment, ageism, racism, microaggressions, and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) systems designed to keep power exactly where it is. But this isn't just a book about what's broken—it's a guide to surviving, navigating, and winning anyway. With unflinching honesty and hard-earned insight, Kae transforms lived experience into a practical, empowering playbook. She gives women the language to speak up, the tools to protect themselves, and the confidence to lead on their own terms. Silence becomes solidarity. Resistance becomes reform. It's time to rewrite who gets to lead, thrive, and succeed in tech. Inside the Book In her powerful debut, Kae chronicles her 30-year rise from telemarketer to tech executive—offering a rare, insider view of the exclusionary systems still shaping women's careers today. This is not theory. This is survival—and strategy.

You can have an audience and still feel frustrated (and underpaid with your podcast).That's the part most podcast hosts don't know how to explain and it's why so many assume they need more visibility, more episodes, or better CTAs.In this episode, I'm reframing that assumption.Because when a podcast isn't converting, it's almost never a content problem.It's a belief problem.I'm unpacking why host/listener proximity* (alone isn't enough..And how even “good” podcasts quietly lose momentum when belief isn't being carried forward on purpose.This episode is not about tactics.It's not about growth hacks.And it's definitely not about posting more.Instead, I'm walking you through:why authority breaks down even with loyal listenerswhat's actually happening when people listen…and do nothingthe subtle leadership gaps that cause podcasts to feel heavy instead of decisiveIf you've ever thought, “My audience loves me… so why isn't this working?” this episode answers that question.By the end of our time together, you'll have:a clearer way to diagnose why an episode didn't converta different way to think about your role as the hostlanguage for what's really stalling momentuma sharper sense of what matters next.You'll also learn about building belief between episodes — and why I treat my podcast as infrastructure, not content.If you want to stay in proximity with that level of thinking, I invite you to join my weekly newsletter, Mic Drop Mastery, where I write to you as the CEO of your podcast, not the content creator.And if you're ready to see how belief actually moves across episodes, I'll point you to the Podcast Flywheel inside the episode.*I know Tony Robbins says Proximity is Power".  I've got a slight take on that.

You can be posting consistently. You can have people watching, liking, and engaging. And still feel like nothing is moving in your business. In this episode of Strategy with Sally, we're unpacking why visibility alone doesn't create momentum — and how simple, intentional follow-up systems turn attention into relationships, consistency, and growth. This session is not about posting more or chasing algorithms. It's about building the right follow-up in the right order so your effort actually leads somewhere. In this live, we'll cover: The difference between visibility and follow-up (and why both matter) What follow-up actually looks like — without complicated funnels Why list growth is a business foundation, not a launch tactic The ONE place people should land after they see your content How simple systems create momentum without overwhelm If you're a service-based business owner who wants clearer business systems, calmer workflows and processes, and a more intentional small business strategy, this session will help you connect the dots.    Stay Connected & Get Exclusive Access: Join the Private OmniSAM Community: omnisam.com.au/gsdgroup Facebook Group: gsdfb.omnisam.com.au Follow on Facebook: facebook.com/sallysparkscousins Watch the Live Stream & Subscribe for More Updates: OmniSAM YouTube: youtube.com/@omnisamsoftware Sally Sparks-Cousins YouTube: youtube.com/@sallysparkscousins

Organizations, including the U.S. military, are increasingly adopting cloud deployments for their flexibility and cost savings. The shared security model utilized by cloud service providers removes some of the adopting organization's responsibility for system administration and security. But it leaves them on the hook for monitoring hosted applications and resources. Cloud flow logs are a valuable source of data for supporting these security responsibilities and attaining situational awareness. The SEI has a long history of supporting flow log collection and analysis, including tools for collection in Azure and AWS. In this podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI), two leading researchers in this area, principal researcher Tim Shimeall and security data analyst Ikem Okafo, both with the SEI's CERT Division, sit down with Dan Ruef, technical manager of the CERT Division's Network Situational Awareness Group, to discuss how to enhance security with cloud flow analysis as well as available tools and resources.

Synopsis: In a powerful tribute to a fearless leader, friends and collaborators share stories of Alice Wong's unwavering commitment to centering disabled voices and challenging systemic inequality in all its forms.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: Alice Wong lived longer than she expected, but not long enough. The celebrated disability activist lived by the principle that disability justice is integral to all liberation movements, and centered disabled stories with the Disability Visibility Project. When Alice Wong died on November 14 at the age of 51, people across social movements shared their grief and awe for her work, such as her bestselling 2022 memoir, “Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life”. She has been called an oracle, visionary, unapologetic and fearless, and our guests, Wong's dear friends and collaborators, are committed to lifting up her legacy. Sandy Ho is the Executive Director of the Disability & Philanthropy Forum and partner with Alice Wong and Mia Mingus in the Access is Love campaign. She was asked by Alice Wong to post her letter after she passed, where Wong writes “. . . our wisdom is incisive and unflinching.” Steven Thrasher is an acclaimed journalist, professor and author of “The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality & Disease Collide”. He was suspended from teaching classes after speaking out — as Wong also did — on Palestine. Join us as we celebrate Alice Wong and ask what is the work to be done when it comes to healthcare and civil rights for disabled people. Plus a commentary from Laura on imagining the next 100 years.“A lot of Alice's advocacy was focused around the systems that force disabled people to be at the margins . . . Whether it is the Black Lives Matter movement or the pandemic, we see the ways in which our society and political systems respond, and not in ways that prioritize those who are least privileged and have the least amount of power.” - Sandy Ho“I remember talking to [Alice Wong] about the ways she had been conditioned as a disabled Asian American woman to try to accept crumbs, to not complain, to be very docile. I thought that she was really brilliant in bridging together not just Asian American communities, but queer communities, LGBTQ communities, all the communities where your body is made to feel like it doesn't belong.” - Steven ThrasherGuests:• Sandy Ho: Executive Director, Disability & Philanthropy Forum• Steven Thrasher: Daniel Renberg Chair of Social Justice in Reporting, Northwestern University; Author, The Viral Underclass & The Overseer Class*Recommended books:“Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life” by Alice Wong, *Get the book“The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease Collide” by Steven Thrasher, *Get the book(*Bookshop is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.

Today, Jill digs into one of the most overlooked barriers to building an online coaching business: the fear of visibility, explaining how negativity bias, fear of accountability, and fear of vulnerability keep so many people stuck on the sidelines. She breaks down why visibility is the gateway to both impact and income, why you don't need to be "ready for everything" before you start posting, and how confidence and self-trust are built through reps, not perfection. From handling trolls and criticism to trusting your own experience and expertise, Jill shows listeners that you can't have growth, followers, or revenue without being seen, and that the only way to get comfortable with visibility is to start, learn on the fly, and let yourself be fortified by the process.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

BIPOC creatives are still underrepresented in the travel industry — Aspen Cierra shares how collectives like Black Women Photographers and the Black Travel Alliance unlocked grants, press trips, mentorship, and access that led to Iceland, Jordan, and beyond. From a Nikon-backed grant to tourism board work and creator press trips, her journey shows how representation, shared resources, and showing up in the right spaces can change who gets seen — and who gets hired. This conversation is about building a career through alignment, visibility, and belonging in an industry still catching up.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/globetrotters-podcast--5023679/support.

Leadership visibility sounds empowering, even exciting… until you're the one being seen. In this episode, I'm talking about why stepping into new levels of visibility so often triggers discomfort, imposter syndrome, and a very loud inner critic, especially for women and others who were never encouraged to take up space or were judged for doing so in the past. I share a recent conversation with a friend facing a visibility opportunity and how it sparked a deeper reflection on why being seen can feel risky even when we know our work matters. I unpack what actually happens when your leadership expands beyond your comfort zone and opens the door to judgment, assumptions, people unfollowing or quietly pulling away - and why none of that means you're doing it wrong. I offer a reframe I come back to often: those who judge are rarely in the arena with you. Those who are not in the arena are not entitled to live in your head rent-free.  Visibility brings up emotions in others, but their reactions are not your responsibility. Your responsibility is your mission, your values, and the people who are helped because you chose not to stay quiet. This episode is an invitation to think differently about visibility, not as self-promotion, but as service. I'll walk you through questions to anchor yourself when discomfort shows up, including who your visibility helps, what's at stake when you're seen, and how being visible challenges the status quo and expands what's possible for others. If you've been feeling the pull to step into a brighter spotlight in 2026 but the urge to avoid discomfort feels just as strong, this conversation is for you.

Most people just want more downloads.. but what if you're chasing the wrong metric?In this episode, Samantha sits down with Eric Singer—Creative Director and Partner at Coupe Studios—to unpack what actually makes a podcast work: sound, storytelling, trust, and respect for the listener.This isn't about chasing downloads, viral clips, or overnight monetization. It's about understanding podcasting as an intimate, neurological medium—and why authenticity, production choices, and identity alignment matter more than polish or reach.Because podcasting isn't about being everywhere, it's about resonance, storytelling and connection to the listener.

Today we're continuing The Energy Is Everything Series with a conversation that hits a nerve for so many high-achieving women: visibility, identity, and the energetic cost of hiding.I'm joined by Renee Bowen — photographer, trauma-informed coach, and the kind of woman who makes you feel seen just by being in the room with her. We talk about what it really means to be “seen” (and why that can feel terrifying), how motherhood can blur your identity until you can't find yourself anymore, and how neutrality is the bridge between being reactive and becoming sovereign.This episode is for the woman who feels exhausted not because she's doing too much… but because she's doing too much of what isn't true.TOPICS WE EXPLORE:• Why “not being seen” is one of the biggest energy leaks• The visibility wound: where it starts and how it shows up• Identity outside of motherhood, roles, and performance• The cost of living for the male gaze (and how to unwind it)• How anxiety, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation shape your choices• Being called “selfish” when you stop martyring yourself• What it means to get neutral — and why it changes everything• Removing sensory charge (sound/color/story) to access objectivity• Social media as energetic input (and how fast it drains you)• Reclaiming self-trust without outsourcing your healingPOINT OF THE EPISODE:When you're hiding (even subtly, even “for good reasons”) you're leaking energy. Healing the visibility wound isn't about being louder online… it's about becoming safe enough in your body to be honest, to take up space, and to live as you without needing permission.MENTIONED:• Renee's website• Renee on Instagram• Renee's podcast: Tried and True with a Dash of Woo• Free hypnosis for anxiety If this episode lit something up inside you, if you felt called out, softened, or seen...  that's not random.

"A trades business is a very powerful vehicle for building yourself as an entrepreneur."  Building a scalable trades business takes more than just skill. Visibility, trust, and strategic positioning give you access to a much bigger world. Thought leadership creates leverage by shifting a tradesperson from being seen as a commodity to being viewed as an authority. When people see you as an expert, it opens doors to higher-quality clients, long-term partnerships, and opportunities beyond day-to-day labour. You can transform a local service business into a platform for influence, referrals, and sustainable growth.  Michael Cappa saw accelerated growth with his painting business, Altona Painting, at the same time that people started asking for his advice. Realtors and fellow tradespeople wanted to know how he built trust, secured repeat clients, and positioned himself as a preferred vendor. By speaking and mentoring, Michael turned experience into intellectual property opening him up to coaching opportunities and partnerships all while his painting business continued to grow.  Michael is the founder and operator of Altona Painting. He started in the trades as a teenager and went on to build a rapidly growing service business. Known for blending traditional work ethic with modern business strategy, he's emerging as a thought leader focused on helping young people enter the trades and helping trades businesses scale through relationships, credibility, and leadership.  Expert action steps:  Position yourself as an educator, not just a service provider, within your local industry.  Build strategic partnerships with adjacent professionals who control deal flow.  Use speaking and teaching as leverage to create scalable income opportunities.  Learn more & connect:  https://altonapainting.com/  IG @altonapainting  LinkedIn:  https://ca.linkedin.com/in/michael-cappa-260ba110b  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.
