3 Top Small Business Owners on Marketing, Growth, and Making an Impact | 312

Wednesday, November 5, 2025 • Duration 01:18:54

Fair warning: you're probably going to want to take notes. I sat down with three entrepreneurs who've built wildly successful businesses using completely different approaches—from TikTok and marketing funnels to community engagement and literally zero marketing budget to Bloody Marys at barbershops and turning a lawsuit into viral marketing gold. The best part? Their success isn't just measured in revenue—we're talking 60 million bars of soap donated, becoming the "doer" in your community who solves real problems, and a family business that's been going strong for 20 years. You're about to hear the unfiltered, no-fluff truth about what actually works in marketing, straight from people who've done it.

How to Draw People In | Book Club | 'Hooked' by Nir Eyal | 215

Tuesday, January 16, 2024 • Duration 01:06:05

I had heard amazing things about this book and was so so excited to cover it in this months Book Club. The more I read, however, the more I realized that Hooked is really geared toward tech companies, tech products, things like apps and games, and not physical products or services like the ones most of us have as our businesses.

That’s not to say this wasn’t a great book! Charelle and I were able to pull out so many lessons and ideas from each section, and throughout our conversation, apply them to business models you might have as a listener of this podcast. It was a fun exercise in finding the generalities in each marketing method, and thinking about how they can be used across industries.

Plus, I got to ask my favorite question: What can we learn from this?

Another aspect of this book that I really liked was the way the author, Nir Eyal, took the time to consider the ethics of the Hook Theory, the marketing strategy he outlines in the book. I have talked before on this podcast about how I dislike using the language of hunting or fishing when it comes to how we market, (people are not fish!), so I did pause at “Hook…” But Eyal takes a lot of care in considering the ethics of his theory, which I really appreciated, and think we all need to think about more as marketers.

So, an unconventional episode, but one really worth giving a listen because there is so much to get out of it!

How to Build Your Business Without Social Media with Rebecca Tracey | 214

Tuesday, January 9, 2024 • Duration 39:33

Okay my friends, I hear you loud and clear.

Lots of you are experiencing social media burnout, and I can relate. I’ve been there. The ever-shifting algorithms, the pressure to constantly create content, and the time suck of putting yourself out there over and over again, often with minimal returns on that investment. It is exhausting.

Personally, I still really enjoy social media for the most part, but that’s more of a preference than a hard and fast rule, and as regular listeners of this podcast know, social media is certainly not my main marketing focus. Beyond that, social meda isn’t for everyone, and it doesn’t have to be! It feels kind of radical to say that on a marketing podcast, but it’s the truth. You do not need social media.

My guest today has made NON-social media marketing the focal point of her marketing, and I am so excited to dig in with her. Rebecca Tracey works with aspiring life coaches, health coaches, healers, and other service-based businesses to build a business that will stand the test of time (and not be at the whim of whatever the newest trendy marketing fad is!). She helps clients clear the clutter and bring them back to foundations so they can articulate their vision clearly and move forward.

Rebecca’s message? Marketing without social media, (or at least without the need for social media), IS POSSIBLE. I found this conversation energizing and refreshing, and I know you will too.
