Engaging Marketeer – Details, episodes & analysis

Doing THIS can be fatal

In this week's episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Darren speaks to Jella Kang about why people are turning to downright dangerous weight loss products when looking for a "quick fix".

Instead, The Medical Hub is all about educating people on the science behind weight loss, including how mental states such as stress can have an impact on diet, and why reaching for that short term solution is never the answer.

In this edition of the Engaging Marketeer, I'm diving into a new Facebook feature that has been introduced within Facebook groups.

When used effectively, this feature can have major benefits if you're trying to market your business on Facebook. In contrast, this feature could come back to bite you in the form of lost followers, leads, sales and even customers if it is misused.

Today, I give you a rundown of everything I have learned about this new feature since I have discovered it, and how I think the feature can be used sensibly as a exceptionally useful tool for marketing your business. Unfortunately, there is a chance that the feature may not exist in Facebook groups for too long if it is overused or misused, so now is the time to find out how it may benefit you.

Be sure to subscribe to the Engaging Marketeer podcast on whichever platforms you use to listen to podcasts. Stay up to date with the latest key industry developments that your business can use to its advantage, as well as the number of interviews we have upcoming with a variety of special guests.

In this installment of The Engaging Marketeer, I talk with motivational speaker and best-selling author Paul McGee a.k.a The SUMO guy. Paul has been speaking in public for well over two decades, guiding his audiences with his ethos of 'Shut up and move on', which he has developed into a self-development philosophy that has helped countless people. The success of SUMO has been compounded by Paul's success as an author, publishing a total of 13 books, with his original SUMO book becoming a Sunday Times bestseller.

Paul and I discuss the origins of SUMO and how SUMO has helped him recover from setbacks in his own life. We talk about Paul's involvement with Premier League football teams such as Manchester City, revealing some of the similarities and differences in the ways that elite athletes adapt and respond to change as compared to the general public.

Paul has spent much of his professional life inspiring and helping others, although massive success was not simply handed to him on a plate, as he reveals in this episode.

About Paul McGee

Paul McGee is a hugely successful public speaker, business coach and training expert. However, before he was the SUMO guy, Paul was forced to live by the mantra of 'Shut up and move on' well before it helped him become a motivational icon. Plagued by myalgic encephalomyelitis (chronic fatigue syndrome) in his early adult life, Paul had no choice but to become a self-employed motivational trainer. Despite an early lack of success, Paul's determination helped him to become a massively successful figure in motivational speaking and self-development.

Paul still takes his SUMO principles to businesses and institutions all over the country and beyond, and he can now be found on a variety of social media platforms, where he shares brand new video content.

It's time for a bit of a rant on today's episode of the Engaging Marketeer. Unfortunately, I've received word of some ridiculous behaviour within the digital marketing industry, involving supposedly 'stolen' websites and some frankly laughable legal action. I feel compelled to address the sheer audacity of the news I've caught wind of, and while I probably could have gone further into rant mode because of how strongly I feel about this issue, I just had to get some of this off my chest.

If you've been on the end of some of the genuinely odd behaviour similar to what is referred to in this podcast, do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me a message, I would be more than happy to help.

Make sure you are subscribed to the Engaging Marketeer on all relevant podcast platforms so you never miss any fantastic interviews or discussions with amazing guests, as well as any important topics within the digital marketing industry.

In this episode, I'm talking to successful marketeer and podcast host Hayley Meakes. Hayley is the host of the SnipBit podcast, which has featured interviews from a wide range of successful athletes. These include athletics legends such as Steve Backley, Roger Black and her uncle, Daley Thompson, as well as a number of other interesting guests. Hayley is a good friend of mine, which allows for a natural, free-flowing and absorbing conversation.

Here, Hayley discusses topics such as the process of finding high-profile guests for her podcast, the very best interviews that she has conducted, as well as how she manages to stay ahead in the world of marketing. Hayley's terrific insight into her work shines through as she reveals the anxieties faced by athletes when they decide to open up in interviews and the importance of a strong mindset when attempting to grow a business.

It's clear to see how Hayley has managed to attract a variety of successful celebrities to her podcast, thanks to her sympathetic approach to interviewing that contrasts how many stars have been conditioned to view the media.

Charlie has been acting for well over a decade, primarily in the genre of horror, and has recently ventured into production as well with her new film.

Here, Charlie paints a vivid picture of the struggles and obstacles involved in creating a feature-length film during the height of a COVID lockdown. Her impressive knowledge and dedication to the horror genre shine through as she explains the inspiration behind her new project and her future in the film industry.

Anybody tempted to pursue a future in the film industry may want to listen to Charlie's encouraging message of 'Just do it!'. She believes that anybody with the passion to make films can do it if they are driven to achieve their dreams.
