DEATS with Deanna: Discussions around Food & Entrepreneurship – Détails, épisodes et analyse

If you're showing up on social media consistently but not seeing consistent sales, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm breaking down three major shifts happening in online marketing and social media selling in 2026 and why many entrepreneurs are struggling to convert followers into paying clients. I'm sharing the exact content and marketing shifts she's teaching inside her programs that are helping entrepreneurs build authority, grow engaged audiences, and hit consistent five-figure months.
