Ax Throwing, Being Nice, and The Magic of Slow Moments - With Ann Handley
12 FEB 2020 · This was one of my favorite interviews ever. Ann was incredibly fun to hang out with. She was also in my top 5 marketers in my "interview bucket list."
During this interview we got personal and talked about how Ann got started in writing, how she connects with her audience and what she does to slow down.
I have an emotional connection with Ann's book 'Everybody Writes.' We talked about my mom, her struggle with cancer and how the words of a professor telling her that she couldn't write deeply affected her and they became the deciding factor on her dropping out of college.
Ann shares how this professor was dead wrong, and that everyone CAN write and she covered some of the basics that you can work on to become a better writer.
On this show we also cover what Ann is most passionate about in marketing, what marketing trends she would kill, what she would do if she had to start over from absolute scratch, and how slowing down and being strategic with your content is going to be key for business success.

For me this guest was Brittlestar (aka Stewart Reynolds).
I had a FANTASTIC time just hanging out with him and getting to know his story.

I remember seeing one of his first videos on Vine and he walks our listeners through the heartache his family went through when that platform just SHUT DOWN and they lost 1.2 million followers that just disappeared.
Brittlestar shares his best advice to people who are getting started on social media, how to find your authentic voice and he encourages you to go all in and just go for it.
He shares tips on how to monetize a social audience and how to build your brand across multiple platforms (something he has truly mastered)

How to roadmap 🏎 your business to success 🏆 with Jeff Finefrock of Metisentry
4 DEC 2019 · "If you don’t understand your competition and who you’re facing - you’re kidding yourself.”
This affects your pricing strategy, what features and benefits you’re offering and your go to marketing strategy.
The competitive analysis isn’t just to check a box. It is to affect your future plan, and it affects the speed of your innovation. If you have a fast competitor you better be faster.
Jeff shares how to properly roadmap your company to success by knowing your competition, your strengths, your weaknesses and he walks through how to aligning your segmentation, targeting and positioning for your business.
Metisentry is knows as “The SaaS Factory” and they have helped dozens of SaaS companies find success.
Jeff outlines that one of the biggest challenges in marketing a tech company is just understanding where you are best able to serve. Targeting and segmentation are crucial in your marketing efforts.
“When problem solving for a client, do it with their end in mind instead of your own, If we aren’t a fit, we aren’t saving anybody any time or creating any value, its important to be honest with yourself and say Here’s where we fit and here’s where we don’t”.
Be able to say NO to businesses because you may not be their best solution, but when you are, it won’t be overselling yourself and it will be a natural fit.
This is a great episode and one of my favorite quotes from it was:
“If you promise the world to your customer and don't deliver on it, that’s what they will remember.”
