Season 1:

In this week’s bonus episode, I’m turning the reins over to my son, Jordon, to be my guest host. He is a 13 year-old comic book buff. So, while on our last episode, you got to meet comic book writer Paul Eza and hear our conversation about common content creation pain points, I thought it’d be a fun treat to have a bonus conversation with Paul lead by Jordon to discuss the comics he writes, how he’s navigating the comic biz, and about comic history and culture in general. Listen in…
This week’s Sticky Note by Producer Jaime comes from Episode 9 of the Blender Business Show, “Common Content Creation Pain Points with Paul Eza from Acorn Comics.” The Blender Business Show is your weekly team huddle where your business goals and media initiatives mix together.
“How do you realistically maintain your content creation as a busy business owner?” Let’s talk today about what content pain points you may be experiencing and how to overcome them. We’ll start by exploring some common content creation pain points that many small business owners experience. Then, I’ll introduce you to Paul Eza–the Founder of Acorn Comics. Aside from working to get his comic books off the ground, he is also a husband and father, and his fulltime job is as an attorney, mediator, and litigator. So, it’s safe to say that he’s a busy guy who already has his hands full before trying to figure out how to promote his comic books. And, in my Sticky Note segment, I’ll help you solve one key pain point of content creation–finding the time to create your content. Listen in…
This week’s Sticky Note by Producer Jaime comes from Episode 8 of the Blender Business Show, “Principled AI Use with Ulric Musset from Marblism, Plus Making Your Business AI-Proof.” The Blender Business Show is your weekly team huddle where your business goals and media initiatives mix together.
“How do you maintain your integrity when using AI to build your content and grow your business? AND, How do you make your business AI-proof?” First up, I’ll walk you through the initial benefits and challenges that small businesses need to think through when considering adopting artificial intelligence into their processes. Then, I’ll introduce you to Ulric Musset, the founder of Marblism. He and I will discuss their suite of AI assistants and how you can use THIS kind of AI to scale your business. And, I will dive deeper into how you can use AI with integrity.
This week’s Sticky Note by Producer Jaime comes from Episode 7 of the Blender Business Show, “Philanthropy that Connects with Your Customer Base.” Our Sticky Notes are a pairing of our Clip of the Week and the final segment of our main show, the Blender Business Show, when Producer Jaime dives deeper with her thoughts on a particular idea from her conversation with this week’s guest.

“What Happens When Your Branding is Created from a Truly Real and Organic Place?” I will introduce you to Jason “JaFLEU” Fleurant, Founder of Exhibit Treal Studios and creator of Treal Toonz Animations.

“How Can Networking Help You Level Up Both Your Content AND Your Business Growth?” Our examination of how networking can help you level up starts by first breaking down what networking is and then commenting briefly on the recent evolution that networking has seen. Producer Jaime will then get into both the superpower and the secret sauce of networking. In her Sticky Note segment, she will dive into various ways that you can network. And, then, she will discuss the best ways for you to prepare for certain types of networking opportunities–first breaking them down into two types–“Hub” and “Spoke.” Plus, Producer Jaime will also share her own trick that you can use, too, to help battle any nerves you may have when in the middle of a networking crowd. Listen in…
How do you find your target audience? This week’s Sticky Note by Producer Jaime comes from Episode 4 of the Blender Business Show, “How to Target the Right Audience.” The Blender Business Show is your weekly team huddle where your business goals and media initiatives mix together.
“How do you find your target audience?” We’ll start there with defining what a target audience is and reviewing two complimentary advantages to properly identifying yours. Then, we’ll go one extra step and differentiate the terms “target audience” and “target market.” Plus, we'll review a case study that perfectly illustrates not only all of this terminology, but also the benefits of having a good strategy behind it. And, in today’s Bonus Rewind episode, you will hear portions of my interview with Laura Mayes–Co-founder of the Mom 2.0 Summit. Our conversation illustrates how beautifully the relationship between your business and your target customers can flow, when you have clearly defined your target audience. Then, I’ll share some tips on how to find and define your own target audience. Listen in…

“What happens when you lead with the end in mind?” Visualizing your end results and then backtracking to create the steps to get there is a critical exercise that can make or break your business. And, this is true on both the macro level when looking at your business goals as a whole and on the micro level of planning each step, iteration, or team member’s contribution. But, the pre-visualization that comes into play within just your promotional work can also be broken down into macro and micro levels. So, what does that look like?
This week’s Sticky Note by Producer Jaime comes from Episode 2 of the Blender Business Show, “Alchemy of Turning Pain Points into Pure Gold.” The Blender Business Show is your weekly team huddle where your business goals and media initiatives mix together.
“What is the easiest way to avoid being salesy?” There are definite risks of being too “salesy”--not only in situations where you’re already in the potential customer’s room pitching yourself, but also WAY before you even get your foot in the door: when you’re creating your marketing content. What you’ll hear this week is my breakdown of my #1 piece of sales advice. And, then, I’ll get into some other basic (but, CRITICAL) must-dos of approaching your sales pitches. Get your notebooks ready, because you’re going to hear all about how to get prospects hungry to hire YOU!
