Customer interviews are a goldmine for information and strategy ideas. But how do you turn their words into action?  Daniel and Tamara talk about how customer feedback is great, but turning their insights into actual change is even better. First, you have to make sure you're asking the right questions to get the information you need. Next, there's two types of interviews: generative and concept-testing. Which one should you choose based on your goals?  Tamara shares why “right place at the right time” is important when it comes to buying, churning, or even adopting a feature. You wanna strike when you're at the top of their mind because three months down the line? It's just too late.   If you're looking to get more out of customer feedback and ask questions that yield success, this is the episode for YOU…and it's short and sweet. ⌛ Sked Social is the no-BS social media management platform built for teams who want to move fast, collaborate easily, and actually prove impact.

As summer approaches, things shift—and if you're a working mom, you're probably already feeling it. ☀️ In this episode of The Dream It, Do It Podcast, I'm walking you through how I'm prepping for a successful summer—both at home and in business. From adjusting routines to navigating a four-day workweek, I'm sharing the small but mighty changes that help me feel less scattered and more steady as the season kicks in. Here's what we talk about:

Have you ever felt like you don't have enough time to blog consistently? What if I told you that you could successfully run your blog in just five hours a week? https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode196 In this week's episode of Creatives on Fire, we're diving into how to work smarter—not harder—with a blogger's take on the five hour work week. Inspired by Tim Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek, this strategy is all about simplifying your workflow, focusing on what moves the needle, and creating consistent momentum. Let's break down how you can make blogging fit into your schedule—one hour a day. Can Blogging in Five Hours a Week Actually Work? Yes, my friend, it absolutely can. The key to making this work is consistency. You don't need endless hours or a huge audience to start building a profitable blog—you need a plan, a routine, and the discipline to stick to it. Step One: Make a Plan The first step is to map out what each hour of your blogging week will look like. Break the work into five main buckets and assign one task to each weekday. Monday: Draft Your Post Spend your hour outlining and drafting your blog post inside WordPress. This includes doing keyword research and writing your SEO title and headers. Use AI to speed things up if you need to. Tuesday: Create the Content Use this hour to bring your content to life. Take step-by-step photos, shoot a video, bake the recipe, or go live with a related tutorial. This is your creation day. Wednesday: Assemble and Schedule the Post Now that you've drafted and created, pull everything together. Upload your images, polish your post, and schedule it to publish next week—so you're always ahead. Thursday: Schedule the Promotions Use this hour to create your Pinterest pins, schedule your social media posts, and write the email that will promote your post. Everything should be prepped for the following week. Friday: Record and Schedule Video Content Optional—but powerful. Use this time to record and schedule your reels, short-form videos, or YouTube content related to your blog post. Step Two: Make It Predictable The real secret? Make your blogging time non-negotiable. Pick a time each day that works best for your life (early mornings are gold!) and show up like it's an appointment you can't miss. Tips for staying consistent: Block your hour on your calendar Use a “Blogging” tab group to reduce distractions Work ahead, not behind Create muscle memory—same routine, same time every day Step Three: Make It a Priority You already know blogging can generate consistent income—ads, affiliate commissions, product sales, and email growth all stem from regular publishing. So ask yourself: If I knew this would work, would I make it a priority? Once you've made the decision to treat your blog like a business, it becomes easier to commit to the five hour framework. Over time, your one hour a day builds lasting success, and that boring, consistent effort becomes your biggest advantage. What If You Want to Blog More Than Once a Week? If you're posting multiple times a week, just double the time. Two blog posts = two hours a day. But here's the beauty of batching—your efficiency will skyrocket. Once you get in the flow, you'll find you can prep several posts at once in even less time. As with anything in business: what's hard at first becomes easier with repetition. Final Thoughts: Boring Work Becomes Brilliant Success Building a successful blog isn't about flashy hacks—it's about consistent action done well over time. With the Five Hour Work Week, you can simplify your process, eliminate decision fatigue, and create sustainable income without burnout. Just remember: Make the plan Make it predictable Make it a priority Because boring work done consistently leads to extraordinary results. Let me know—are you in for the five hour work week? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments over on the blog. Until next time, stay creative.

There's a TON of uncertainty in today's climate: tariffs, regulations, etc. How should you deal with it when it comes to marketing efforts?  Enter: transparency. Being clear about pricing and how it'll affect your customers' carts helps save you (and your team) from varying questions. Putting this notice on a landing page is a way to address it. Plus, going too far on discounting may not be a great strategy. Instead, doubling down on value and need are a better angle. Jay also mentions revising internal expectations when it comes to sales and pipelines. Should you double down on your already existing client base? Absolutely.   This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about preparing for potential setbacks.

It seems like social media changes a LOT. That's because it's changing everyday and as Marketers, we gotta stay ahead of the curve.  This episode's guest is Nick Tran, current CMO at FARFETCH and former TikTok, Hulu, and Samsung marketer. Here's a truth some marketers don't want to hear: most brands are playing it too safe and it can trap you in a cycle of sameness in social media content. The solution? Originality. Creativity. And those two things are gonna help you stand out, especially in the age of AI.  Plus, Nick shares his thoughts on the death of the feed, the rise of community-led and experiential marketing, and why Gen Z has a different relationship with brand loyalty.  And, Daniel brings up an analogy: what do struggling D1 football players and failing social media accounts have in common? Hint: it has to do with fundamentals.  If you're a marketer who wants to stay ahead of the game on social and stand out this year, this is the episode for you.  Let's face it—consumers don't trust ads, but they do trust their favorite creator, that go-to review site, or a friend's recommendation.

Most marketers assume that more content ➡️more impact. But what if you're actually turning people off? Daniel and Jay talk about how negative signal is a silent killer.

How can you stay relevant, at the front of your audience's minds, AND avoid overloading them?  Plus, Jay mentions an example of negative social signals that his kids taught him about (Should you double-snap someone?) And, how does Daniel use “clickbait” subject lines the right way? It's all about the quality of the content.  This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about sending positive signals and killing those negative ones.

We all know social media is important. But what's the difference between those who DO social media and those who are social media managers?  This episode's guest, Jon-Stephen “JS” Stansel, breaks down what it really means to be a social media manager. Just because you have a car doesn't make you a mechanic, and just because you have social media accounts doesn't make you a manager. From scheduling content to making the content and posting it, managers wear a lot of hats. What's within their actual scope and what's not? How do you set your social media manager up for success? Plus, what does compromise look like as a manager when your client wants something that clashes with your strategy? JS gives an example of this and how making difficult decisions is just part of the job.  And, JS reveals why change has to happen little by little, even if you want to revamp things right away.  If you're a marketer who wants to polish your social media operations, this is the episode for you.  Let's face it—consumers don't trust ads, but they do trust their favorite creator, that go-to review site, or a friend's recommendation.

Show of hands, how many of us have used an Adobe tool in our careers? Chances are, that's most of us. This week's guest, Kylee Peña, is working on marrying AI into our beloved tools, including Premiere and Photoshop. Not only can these integrations make tools easier to learn for new learners, they can also help with ideation and creativity.  What sort of challenges are product marketers facing when it comes to putting AI features into existing products? First, Kylee says it's best to be clear about expectations. A way to combat this is to show real live demos. Another way is to be honest about the product and its limitations.  And, how can AI messaging be more effective? Resonating and relating to people on an emotional level is the key.  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about how AI is being integrated with your already existing tools, this is the episode for you.  Follow Kylee: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylee-pena/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

What's the newest format that's going viral?  It's building, behind-the-scenes, and sharing what goes into making something. Think about some things brands are posting about their products: the wins, the fails, how it all came together. Audiences eat this up.  Building in public like this generates engagement. Jay gives an example of how huge companies like Hubspot are doing it. Daniel mentions people flock to content like this because it makes them feel like an insider, and as we all know, content succeeds when people feel emotionally connected to it.  And, what does a brand's founder have to do with all of this? They're a piece of the puzzle.  This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about building hype and going behind the scenes.

Your best opportunities have already used your product before. How can you get them back before they disappear forever?  Enter: the Comeback Campaign.  Tamara says the point of the campaign is to remind people why they signed up in the first place and what they're missing out on. Creating this type of FOMO can urge people to check you out again. From strategically placed ads to email efforts, there are a ton of ways to get creative.  Plus, Daniel gives a real-life example with the Uber app…one that has probably gotten you to come back before (and you didn't even know it!).  If you're looking to avoid “the one that got away” and keep them coming back, this is the episode for YOU…and it's short and sweet. ⌛ Follow Tamara: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamaragrominsky/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

We're heading into a bumpy economy. So, it's time to audit what we're doing in marketing. How do we do that? Auditing is all about alignment. Are your brand's efforts in line with what's going on in the world? Are you wasting any money, time, resources, etc.? One of the first things to change is KPIs and really figure out what matters. Plus, it's time to audit tools and software you're using.  Jay gives an example from his company: they're reprocessing files and saving money from going through everything. When things are uncertain, it's time to focus on what you can control.  And, Daniel says marketing is still important, even if it's often the first budget to get cut during an economic downturn. People may not want to spend their hard-earned money on trying a new product. Because of this, doubling down on retention strategies is going to be the key to success.   This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about preparing for what's about to come.

What if I told you that working just two and a half days a week could actually be your new normal? More time with your family, more energy for your passions, and more freedom to live—without sacrificing your income or impact. Sounds wild, right? But it's possible—and in this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down exactly how I pulled it off. First things first: I didn't start here. I used to grind nonstop—100+ hour workweeks, chasing big goals in the big city, feeling burned out and unfulfilled. Eventually, I hit a breaking point and knew something had to change. That's when I started to design my life on purpose. I created a weekly structure, tested out new systems, and got clear on what actually mattered. Over time, that led me to working just 2.5 days a week—with more results, more happiness, and more balance. Here's how it works: It's not just about the structure—it's about the systems. I use time-blocking religiously and follow Parkinson's Law: work expands to the time you give it. So I limit tasks on purpose. I use the Pomodoro technique—45 minutes of deep work, 15 minutes of rest. Apps like Sunsama and Notion help me plan my day with intention. I set just three “Most Valuable Tasks” each day and focus only on those. The rest? Either gets scheduled for later or let go.Delegation and automation are non-negotiables. I ask myself, “What would break if I stopped doing this?” If the answer is nothing, I cut it. For what's essential but not in my zone of genius, I delegate using the 10-80-10 rule: 10% to set it up, 80% delegated, 10% to review. I rely on tools like Zapier and an organized team to automate as much as possible. I also create SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for everything so I'm not the bottleneck. Once things are documented and repeatable, it's easy to scale without burning out.One big mindset shift that made this lifestyle possible? Realizing busy doesn't equal productive. I stopped glorifying hustle and started chasing impact. I focus only on the 20% of actions that create 80% of the results—whether that's nurturing partnerships, closing deals, or creating content that builds brand trust. If it doesn't move the needle, I say no.And speaking of “no”—boundaries are everything. I trained my team and clients to respect my schedule. I don't reply to business texts on Sundays. I protect off-grid time and unplug regularly to reset my nervous system. People quickly adapt when you set clear expectations—and you'll find you're actually more respected when you own your time.Was this shift easy? Nope. It took trial and error. I had to hustle hard at first to build the foundation. But now, with recurring income streams, dialed-in systems, and a focused schedule, I get to enjoy a life that's rich in time, not just money.So if you're tired of the grind and want more freedom without giving up your goals—start small. Time-block your ideal week. Identify your needle-moving tasks. Eliminate the noise. And build the life you actually want to live, one intentional move at a time.

Buckle up buttercups, we're diving into the panacea or peril of the four-day workweek. As always, we get to use our critical minds and decide for ourselves.   SHOW NOTES The five-day workweek is one of the the results of worker safer reforms in the 1930s.  As a society, we concluded and adopted laws that provided greater compensation for workers when they worked in excess of 40 hours in a week.   This was consistent with what has been a 100 year trend of working less - at least until the 1970s—when we started working more. This working more may explain the growing number of companies and countries (aka Iceland) that have adopted the four day work week,   Let's start with Iceland—the poster child for all kinds of worker and gender rights.  After a wildly successful pilot starting in 2015, 90% of its workforce now enjoys a 36-hour week, full pay, and more time for fjords, knitting, or just plain breathing. The best part? Productivity didn't drop. In some sectors, it rose, as did mental health and happiness. It sounds like employee satisfaction and improved mental health for the win!! Here in the U.S., four-day weeks are gaining ground. In 2024, 22% of workers said their employers offer one (up from 14% in 2022). But not all 4-day weeks are created equal. Some compress 40 hours into four 10-hour marathons, while others reduce hours and pay and, the best for employees, reduced hours without a reduction in pay.  Still, it's not all sunshine and extra Sundays. Critics warn of scheduling chaos, uneven workloads, and—gasp—selection bias in studies. And let's be honest, if the culture still glorifies overwork, slapping on a shorter week won't fix burnout. So what now? Tune in for the full scoop—history, data, debates, and what it takes to truly work less and live more.
