    A look ahead at 2023 - the trends and ideas that you need to consider when it comes to creating your reputation and your content. Although, to be honest, I don't consider all of these to be "trends" that will pass, many of these concepts should be mainstays of your business practise, no matter how big or small you are.

  • 113. Content Marketing and Your Reputation

    12:09||Season 2, Ep. 113
    Have you heard the Publilius quote that says a good reputation is more valuable than money? Without a good reputation, you might make some money but you won’t make much or for long. Which is why it’s such a mistake for so many of us to act like our reputation is not in our control. Key Points:What is Content? (2:30)What is a Reputation?

  • 11. She Lost Her Stomach for Content

    39:00||Season 2, Ep. 11
    This week's interview is a revisit with Heather McGregor who was on the podcast back in Season 1, Episode 52. I've invited her back because she changed the name of her business and the way she describes what she does; I was itching for the opportunity to talk to her about that process, about changing her language so her messaging is a better reflection of her work. I ask about the pushback she has received and we explore why she thinks we need to go dark to find our way. Of course I ask about the term "Dark Marketing". I hope you enjoy hearing how Heather has accepted this evolution of her business - especially if you've been fighting changing your own business or messaging.You're stepping into the unknown when you're walking into the Dark...Other Points of Note:Original Interview with Heather McGregor: play.acast.com/s/connections-coffee-confidence/not-living-the-cookie-cutter-lifeheathermcgregor.ca/Facebook: www.facebook.com/Heather.McGrInstagram: www.instagram.com/quantum.tone/Enjoy the podcast?
