This is a very special episode LIVE from the Calgary Renovation Show.

www.calgaryrenovationshow.com/show-features/speakers-celebrities

We had an amazing discussion with Seb Clovis on the main stage.

(The following is his bio on the Calgary Reno Show website)

Sebastian Clovis is not just a licensed contractor; he's a beacon of excellence in every aspect of the construction process, from envisioning architectural details to executing flawless finishes. He has a commitment to crafting enduring, personalized spaces while upholding the standards in the tradition of so many great builders.
His journey began in his teens under the mentorship of a master builder, but he temporarily diverted his path to pursue a football scholarship and a career in the CFL, culminating in a triumphant Grey Cup Championship with the BC Lions in 2006.
Following retirement from professional football, Sebastian seamlessly transitioned back to his first love: renovations. With a diverse skill set honed over years of experience, he emerged as a versatile craftsman, excelling in multiple disciplines and earning the title of a true jack of all trades. Teaming up with his partner, Designer Ayanna Augustine, they have refined a proprietary process for curating and creating stunning homes that reflect their clients' unique visions and lifestyles.

But Sebastian's journey didn't end with contracting; it was the beginning of a third career. His vibrant persona and unparalleled ability to demystify complex construction techniques catapulted him into the spotlight as the captivating host of hit home renovation shows such as ‘Tackle My Reno,’ ‘Save My Reno,’ and most his most recent endeavour, ‘Gut Job,’ streaming now on STACKTV.

In this episode, we chatted with Seb about overcoming your fear and diving right into DIY. Seb was an awesome guest with LOTS of information to provide!!

A few take aways form this weeks episode: - Mark doesn’t like chicken wings. - Do we post as we go? Or, dig into the analytics more? - We find that posts that are intended to help people, ultimately perform the best. - If Instagram shut down tomorrow for good, what would be the next steps for our business? - Wait, Mark doesn’t like chicken wings?!?!?!

This week we sit down with one of the biggest IG accounts within the maker community, Jeff Mack. Again... he’s actually getting kind of annoying. But anyways, in this episode Jeff tells what his biggest pet peeve on IG is. The biggest takeaway from this week is to remember that none of the pet peeves mentioned in this episode are influenced or intended about anyone in-particular. The views expressed in this episode are meant to be for entertainment purposes only. And, if you’re going to be mad at anyone, be mad at Dom. This episode was all his idea - all Vik and Mark did was tell the truth.

This week we sit down with one of the biggest IG accounts within the maker community, Jeff Mack. Jeff tells what it’s like to get fired. And, how he uses IG to grow his business. He talks about how he keeps up with the algorithm changes, AND, he even offers Vik a job! The audio was a little funny in this episode, and we’re really working hard on fixing it, so bare with us. The sound works best in headphones, so hopefully you have a pair because Jeff gives us some amazing take aways in this episode that you won’t want to miss. A few take aways form this weeks episode: - Treat each like/ comment like a virtual business card. - Try doing different tests for growing your account. For example, spend an hour engaging with other accounts within your community by using a local gio-tag. - Happiness is all that matters. Make sure you’re having fun with what you’re doing. - Try posting more carousel posts with 5 to 10 pictures and videos of the process. Test this to see if it performs better than signal photo posts. - Google “Instagram” and read articles that come up on latest trends and algorithm upgrades. - Jeff is crazy and doesn’t draft posts. - Remember, we all started with 0 followers. Don’t get consumed by the number and focus on making an impact within the community.

As if balancing life and work wasn’t hard enough. Now, add trying to grow a social media presence and things can get pretty overwhelming. In this episode, we share our personal struggles and some methods on avoiding Instagram burnout. A few take aways form this weeks episode: - Turn off your notifications to help keep you focused. - Identify your limitations and only do what makes you comfortable. - Try deleting the app to make it more difficult to check on things. - Think about what you want to get from Instagram. Set goals and establish a level of importance with the platform. This will help you to determine how much time you should be spending on platform. - Over communicate. By telling those around you how important it is to be engaged within your community, you’ll help them understand why you need time to spend on Instagram. This will also help with your own mental health. - Schedule some time off Instagram. Mark recommends taking one day off your phone a week to spend time with your family or doing other hobbies. - There’s a difference between physically being present and mentally being present. Put your time, energy and focus into the things that are important to you. Give the people around you the presences that they deserve. You’re not going to lose your followers because you spend the afternoon with your family. - Remember, it’s just Instagram. Try to remember why you started and keep things fun. If you’re not happy with a post you can always delete it later on. LINKS Avoiding social media burnout article: www.sweddevelopment.com Follow us on Instagram: @forthegrampodcast Email us at forthegrampodcast@gmail.com

Consistency is key and if you want to grow your account, you need to treat your Instagram like a business. Set goals, plan ahead and execute. TAKE AWAYS - Identify who you want to appeal to. Who you want your followers to be, who you want in your tribe, and tailor your content to those people. - Think about what you want to get from the platform and what you want YOUR Instagram to be about. - The look of your page isn’t as important to the algorithm as it used to be. But, people should know who you are and what you do when they come to your page. - Engagement = Growth. And, Instagram measures your engagement on likes, comments and saves. - Dom sucks at Tic-Tac-Toe LINKS Follow us on Instagram: @forthegrampodcast Email us at forthegrampodcast@gmail.com

We are back with another episode.  Do not miss this year's final episode as we are joined by our guest host Eric Spencley from @Spencleydesignco.  Eric is a content creator, YouTuber, woodworker and an avid scuba diver. Eric talks all about why YouTube is the main social media platform that you need to get into, if you are looking to make the most money.  He also tells us how to pick the best thumbnail picture and why changing your video title after a few weeks may not be the worst idea.  The boys also explain why dry walling should be left to the professionals and why re-shooting content is such a pain in the butt.  You will leave this episode laughing like a foghorn, guaranteed.
