Personal Branding and Messaging: How to Clearly Communicate What You Do with Katrina Wagner

Today on the Community podcast, Kristina is joined by Katrina Wagner to talk about personal branding, clear messaging, and how to communicate what you do in a way that actually connects with the right people. If people don’t understand what you do, they can’t hire you and they definitely can’t refer you. Katrina shares why being clear is more powerful than being clever when it comes to your brand messaging, and how entrepreneurs can position themselves around the problems they solve and the outcomes they create. Tune in to hear: Why clear messaging beats clever messaging when building your personal brand. How to explain what you do in a way that makes it easier for people to hire and refer you. The questions to ask your best clients to strengthen your messaging and positioning. Why more educational content isn’t always the answer—and what creates connection instead. How to balance authenticity with showing up as a trusted leader online. Why testing different types of content is key to finding what truly resonates with your community. Kristina and Katrina also dive into the evolution of social media content, silent buyers, creating connection online, and why your personal brand needs to reflect the level of leadership you want to be known for. If you’re building a personal brand, struggling to clearly communicate what you do, or creating content that isn’t converting into clients and referrals, this episode is for you. Tune into Community anywhere you get your podcasts for an empowering conversation about personal branding, messaging, content, and becoming a brand people understand, remember, and recommend!

Depth Over Breadth: How to Get Real ROI From a 200+ Person Event

You don’t have to meet everyone in the room to make a networking event worth your time. In this solo episode of Community, Kristina shares how she approaches big events strategically, especially when walking into a room of hundreds (or thousands) of people doesn’t come naturally. After investing in countless networking events, masterminds, and business communities, Kristina has learned that event ROI isn’t about collecting the most business cards or having 200 surface-level conversations. It’s about building a few meaningful business relationships and following up in a way that turns those connections into something deeper. Tune in to hear: Why three meaningful conversations can create more event ROI than trying to meet everyone in the room. How to decide what you want from a networking event before you arrive. Why having an event buddy can make networking at large events feel more approachable. How to identify the people you genuinely want to connect with and make intentional introductions. Why taking breaks or skipping a session for a meaningful conversation doesn’t mean you’re wasting your investment. Why the follow-up is the real event and how Kristina turns new connections into long-term business relationships. Community building doesn’t require you to be the loudest person in the room or meet every attendee. The right conversations, intentional follow-up, and willingness to stretch outside your comfort zone can turn networking events into meaningful relationships and business opportunities. If big networking events feel overwhelming or you want to get more event ROI from the rooms you’re already entering, tune into Community anywhere you get your podcasts to learn how to network with more intention and build business relationships that last.

When Self-Doubt Creeps In: Building Confidence as an Entrepreneur

Self-doubt doesn’t disappear when your business grows. In this solo episode of Community, Kristina gets vulnerable about self-doubt in entrepreneurship and how she works through the inevitable moments of wondering, “Am I good enough?” or “What if this doesn’t work?” Kristina shares the mindset shifts and practical tools that help her navigate uncertainty, criticism, and slow seasons while continuing to show up. From positive self-talk to celebrating small wins and finding your business besties, this episode is a reminder that your business mindset is a muscle you can strengthen. Tune in to hear: Why self-doubt can show up right before periods of growth in business. How to reframe your inner dialogue and talk to yourself like you would someone you love. Why celebrating small wins can help you build confidence during difficult or slow seasons. How to create an “evidence list” that reminds you of everything you’ve already overcome. Why the “friend test” can help you recognize when your self-talk is harsher than it needs to be. How finding your business besties and surrounding yourself with a supportive community can help you move through self-doubt instead of getting stuck in it. Positive self-talk isn’t about pretending business isn’t hard. It’s about reminding yourself that you can handle hard things and keep moving forward. If self-doubt in entrepreneurship has been holding you back, tune into Community anywhere you get your podcasts to strengthen your business mindset and keep showing up for what you’re building.

Today on the Community podcast, Kristina is joined by Cait Scudder, founder and CEO of The Millionaire Mother and author of Born for Both , to talk about motherhood and entrepreneurship, building a successful business while raising a family, and why women don’t have to choose between ambition and being a present mom. Cait shares her journey from burnt-out high school teacher to seven-figure entrepreneur and mom of four, including how becoming a mother challenged everything she thought she knew about business.
