#244: How to Pivot in the Age of AI

AI didn't just change how we create content. It changed how people find it. Search is shifting. Clicks are down. Discovery looks completely different than it did even a year ago.

We're looking at: How bloggers are moving away from SEO and building owned audiences Why copywriters are evolving into strategists (and what that really means) How course creators are shifting toward cohorts, community, and accountability What this reset means for your business, and where to focus next This is not about panic. This is about paying attention to where the opportunity has moved, and moving with it. 🎧 Hit play and learn how to pivot before you're forced to.

#242: Hiring the BEST Social Media Support

Discover Help That Fits Your Business & Goals If last week's LinkedIn episode got you thinking, "Okay, I'm ready to be more visible… but I can't (and don't want to) do this alone," this one's for you. Getting support with your social media is not one-size-fits-all. And hiring the wrong kind of help can feel just as overwhelming as doing it yourself.

From early-stage VA support to full-scale content agencies, we're breaking down what makes sense, and when. If you've been wondering: Do I need strategy, execution, or both? Should I hire a VA or an agency? How much should I realistically invest?

#241: How to Make LinkedIn Your Champion Platform

Maximize Your Impact in 2026 If you've been treating LinkedIn like an "I'll get to it when I have time" platform… this episode is your sign. Because LinkedIn still has serious organic, untapped potential, but only if you show up consistently enough for the algorithm (and your audience) to learn who you are, what you stand for, and what you help people do. In this episode, I'm sharing why LinkedIn has become one of the strongest visibility platforms left (especially when other platforms feel more pay-to-play), and I'm walking you through a simple 4-step consistency workshop: Optimize your profile, post once a week for 30 days, build a real content calendar, and get support so you can stay in your zone of genius. And I'm also introducing one of my favorite mindset shifts (borrowed from Bo Eason): schedule your championships, because practice is great… but results come from committing to the moment you're training for! 🎧Hit play if you want to build real authority and steady momentum on LinkedIn, without posting every day or chasing trends.

The Right Type of Digital Course Still Wins Are online courses dead? Short answer: No. Honest answer: The old way of building them is.
