Podcasts about weighting comforts

Josh Durham is the Founder of Aligned Growth, an agency that helps DTC brands scale through influencer partnerships and performance-driven user-generated content. Before establishing Aligned Growth, he co-founded Weighting Comforts, a weighted blanket company that he grew to over $6 million in annual revenue before selling it in 2019. Josh also served as the Head of Growth at Groove Life, where he managed sizable advertising budgets. In this episode… Influencer marketing has become a popular tactic for brand awareness, yet many advertisers misunderstand its role and expect direct-response outcomes similar to paid social ads. How can brands leverage influencer partnerships to drive long-term growth and brand awareness? While influencer marketing can generate sales, its primary function is to create brand interactions and organic content at an efficient CPM. Instead of relying solely on paid partnerships, brands can start with product gifting to build relationships with influencers and generate authentic content. This approach allows brands to test products on various creators while keeping costs low. Having led influencer growth initiatives for major brands, Josh Durham suggests combining product gifting with strategic paid influencer collaborations, ensuring a mix of organic and sponsored content for maximum reach. He also emphasizes prioritizing audience fit over follower count, advising brands to target influencers whose content aligns naturally with their brand rather than chasing big-name endorsements. In the latest episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris talks with Josh Durham, the Founder of Aligned Growth, about scaling influencer partnerships. Josh shares his experience working with celebrity influencers like Tony Hawk, how to measure influencer marketing effectively, and how brand interactions drive purchase decisions.

This week, I have the privilege of chatting with Donna Durham of Weighting Comforts. Donna grew up in Nashville, TN and is a woman of strong faith and hope. She is a wife of 25 years and a proud mom of 3 kids. She earned her BS in Home Economics Education from Middle Tennessee University in 1993 and graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University with her Masters Degree in Marriage & Family in 2014. Donna's life was unexpectedly changed when making weighted blankets at her kitchen table exploded into a full time business. She is the Founder of Weighting Comforts, and runs it alongside her son, Josh who has recently been named to Forbes 30 under 30 for Social Enterprise. As a means to growing demands, Donna contracted with refugee women to sew weighted blankets. Her eyes were then opened to how difficult it is for refugees and immigrants to find work and integrate into American culture. Weighting Comforts employs refugees and immigrants to sew blankets in order to help them provide for their families as well as provides paid English classes to all of their employees. To follow along with Donna's journey, find her on IG: @donnaminterdurham@weightingcomfortsAnd to order a blanket with the discounted code, go to www.weightingcomforts.com use coupon code: SPRING50 for $50 off one cotton blanket or SPRING 120 for $120 off two blankets.

The Deep Energy Podcast is sponsored by Weighting Comforts. What is Weighting Comforts? Weighting Comforts makes weighted blankets that help improve your sleep and reduce anxiety.  These blankets are designed by a therapist and they help you fall sleep faster and give you a deeper more restful sleep. They have helped people with other things like PTSD, Anxiety, Restless leg syndrome and more.  I receive e-mails frequently from people who say how much the podcast helps them relax, helps them sleep, helps calm them when anxiety sets in and I can’t think of another company that more perfectly matches up with what I try to do with my music than Weighting Comforts. Like I mentioned last month Josh from Weighting Comforts was kind enough to send me a blanket to try out. I wish I could say I have been using it every night but that would be a lie. I am sharing it with my wife. I get to use it for two nights, and then she uses it for two nights.  I even tried to sneak in an extra night and she said ‘isn’t it my night for the blanket’. It was worth a shot.  And yes we just call it ‘the blanket’. Neither of us had ever used a weighted blanket before. Like I mentioned before the blanket really is wonderful. I’ve been using it when I sleep, and I find myself not tossing and turning as much as I would usually, I’m having a much deeper sleep and been waking up relaxed.  For her, the blanket feels comforting and she wakes up less during the night. If you go to their website www.weightingcomforts.com,  there are testimonials and a ton of information on the different styles, fabrics and weights of the blankets, what they do, and how they help. I also wanted to mention that the blankets are handmade and hand sewn in Nashville, Tennessee by refugees working to create income for their families. The blanket I received was extremely well made and felt really solid. When you do decide to purchase a blanket, use the promo code deepenergy25 and you will get $25.00 off of your purchase. Besides the benefits for yourself, you will be helping support the podcast and refugee families! And they do ship internationally …. So that’s $25.00 off when you use the promo code deepenergy25 and thanks to Josh and Weighting Comforts for sponsoring the podcast!!! The website link is also in the show notes.

Based on her wildly successful Ted Talk, it’s the story of her life growing up outside of Boston, being a living statue outside of Harvard Square, joining the seminal Punk/ Cabaret band, The Dresden Dolls, her fledgling solo career,  her innovated and sort of controversial crowdfunding of her last album, to her marriage to author Neil Gaiman and more. She has had an amazing life and this audiobook narrated by her, brings her story to life and she plays ukulele along the way!  What I personally gained from this audiobook, is as a musician not being afraid to ask for help. We all need it somehow, someway… So that is my recommendation The Art of Asking written and narrated by Amanda Palmer.

He has had an amazing life and this title captures so much of it in his own words and voice. This title is just a gift from the Springsteen Gods.
