Why I Rebranded My Podcast

Wed, 03 Oct 2018 23:48:46 +0000

After only 9 episodes, I decided to take a hiatus and figure out exactly who I wanted to serve as an audience and who I wanted to help. And so, after a few months away - I am BACK with a brand new podcast under a totally different name, different interviews on the schedule, and a broader message to send. Here, I am going against what most digital marketers say to go not go wide but instead go deep... and I am going wider by going deeper. Listen to the episode here to hear exactly how I am doing that with this podcast rebrand. Cliff's notes version: The old podcast was for small business creative entrepreneurs, but was leaving out the personal lives that also need a boost of productivity. This new podcast is helping out both sides of the equation. Happy you are joining me on this journey!
