PodcastGuests and Founder Andrew Allemann for the Podcaster in You

We live in the world of podcasts, don’t we? The word is spoken thousands of times a day. Different shows are mentioned hundreds, if not thousands, of times a day. If you don’t have a podcast, you better be appearing on podcasts. If you aren’t, you are invisible.

Tom Van Winkle of Hinsdale Humane Society Talks Up American Association of Pet Parents

It’s not that these people want to give up their pets, it’s that they don’t see a way out. Tom is working to change that. One way he does this is by working with food pantries to donate some of the extra food he receives in donations, to them.

An image of poet, content marketer, and resilience coach Alaesia "Lisa" Hurt. Next to the image is the text "A Smart Woman Conversation with Alaesia (Lisa) Hurt." This image is attached to a post on the 7 Cs of resilience.

Aleasia Hurt from HURTNPOET Shares 7 Cs of Resilience

Over time, she learned she could create poetry out of the stories people told her. I am so fascinated by that because I feel that all of life is poetry. If we just stop to listen, we would hear the sounds of poetry all around us. We would see the colors of poetry drifting in the breeze. For Lisa, it helped her create a world of confidence, empowerment, and reward. That sense of giving back, whenever she could deliver a poem to a person, created from their story. It gives me chills! It’s exactly what story is all about.

The Adventures of Miss Twiggs and Company by Lucy Forsting

Lucy believes we spend too much time ‘intellectualizing’ – and isn’t that the truth? I know I spend a good bit of time justifying my behavior and the behavior of others by thinking it through, rather than allowing my ‘intuition’ or my ‘heart’ dictate how I should feel about a situation.

A photo of book marketer Deb Goeschel next to the words "A smart conversation with Deb Goeschel of Message Artist Creative Group"

Your Brand Your Message Deb’s Business – Talking Marketing with Deb Goeschel

Deb’s backstory of how she got started goes all the way back to when she was a toddler and loved performing for her mom and other family members. We all have those memories, don’t we? It’s good to share them on your website and in your blog because it can easily bring you closer to your core audience – people who will be touched by that story of you as a child, and will relate to it because they, too, have those memories.

Marda Stoliar Pastry Chef: the Backstory, or Why #MARDASGiftFilm is Such an Important Documentary to Make

In a world of divisiveness, baking bread, making cakes, eating with other people, can calm nerves and change moods. Breaking bread with people brings us together as a group, doing something each person in the group likes to do – eat.
