Earfluence: Amplify Your Expertise with Podcasting – Détails, épisodes et analyse

On Mulligans & Mishaps, we hit the golf course with business leaders to talk about their biggest mistakes—and the decisions they wish they could take a mulligan on.

🎤 This time, we’re teeing it up with venture capitalist Timothy McLoughlin, Managing Partner at Cofounders Capital. 🎤

Tim has heard thousands of startup pitches. He’s made big bets, passed on some winners, and learned the hard way that trust issues in investing can be costly. Oh, and there’s also that one company he passed on… that went on to sell just a few months later for a massive payday. 😬

💰 What happens when investors get it wrong? How do founders know when it’s time to fold? And what’s Tim’s biggest personal mulligan?

Mulligans & Mishaps is produced by Earfluence and hosted by Jason Gillikin.

Thank you to Wildwood Green in North Raleigh.

🎤 Kicking off Episode 1, we’re with the one and only Larry Long Jr.

More episodes coming soon from the golf course (huge shoutout to ⛳ Wildwood Green in North Raleigh!) and even the mini-golf course (big thanks to ParTee Shack!).

📺 Stay tuned—this is going to be a fun ride!

When you think about personal branding, does your chest tighten up a little bit because it means you have to be performative on the approximately 6.7M platforms out there? YouTube, Reels, LinkedIn, TikTok, Twitch, X, newsletters, blog posts, podcasts...and the list goes on.

Personal branding can feel intimidating, but according to Ashia Skye, it doesn't have to be that way - personal branding can be as simple as showing up authentically to that next networking event.

Today, Ashia guides us through the personal branding playbook.

It's easy to approach another business owner and say "Hey if we can refer you, we get X% of the revenue, and vice versa."

But those relationships rarely work, because it's not YOUR job to sell for the other company, and it's not THEIR job to sell for yours. Both parties need to focus on what they do best.

So how can we create business partnerships that truly matter?
