I get to chat with some excellent people as part of my job - I love it so much!

Earlier this year I had the privilege of sharing a great conversation on my podcast with a fellow rural business lady and fellow marketing mentor, Sam Hicks - Business Development & Photography.

We talked all about LOCAL MARKETING strategies as part of my "Amplifying March" theme on the pod.

Sam embodies the idea of creating community through marketing and is definitely an asset to her community near Bonnie Doon, Victoria

It's such a great chat. Listen in on your favourite podcast app or listen here: https://buff.ly/3W08tHg

Thanks legend Sam for being my guest. You're amazeballs.

Earlier this year I interviewed the awesome Andrew Griffiths on my podcast.

And this was one of those time where you invite a guest onto your podcast to talk about a part of their expertise that you know your audience will love .... like speaking and authorship as amplifiers of your message, your brand, you and your business.

And then something happens .... the conversation heads somewhere that you didn't plan, you didn't expect, and yet is SO much better than you could have imagined.

This is what happened with Andrew!

Andrew came on to my podcast to talk about using speaking and writing a book to amplify your message, your brand, your business, and you.

But what actually happened is that we all got a lesson in storytelling from a master of storytelling.

This podcast interview has to be one of my favourites. You can listen to episode 287 of the Small Business Made Simple Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts, or you can listen via the link to my website here:

Wherever you listen, just make sure you do. Storytelling is one of the most effective ways to grow your business by creating a community of people who know, like, and trust you and get to know, like, and trust you through the stories you tell.

Thanks AG for coming on the podcast. It was a blast. J x

Quite often I get asked by my clients about their digital presence on spaces other than social media.

So, if this is something you are wanting to know more about, then have a listen to episode 282 of the Small Business Made Simple Podcast which goes through the differences and how to use a Landing Page in your business!
