  • 75: {Pep Talk} Maximizing Visibility on LinkedIn
    Jun 27 2024

    Are you a LinkedIn Lurker? If you have created a LinkedIn account, but only log on to look at what other people are doing or scroll.... you my friend are a lurker.

    This episode was recorded to encourage you to start taking action and get active on the platform because there is so much magic happening on LinkedIn! LinkedIn has evolved into a platform for creators to build their personal brand and grow their business. It offers less competition compared to Facebook or Instagram. The visibility on LinkedIn is high, with only 1% of people posting content. The platform has become more than just a professional networking site, with features like LinkedIn Lives and audio events. Engage on LinkedIn by optimizing your profile, connect with others and start liking/commenting on posts. It can lead to so much visibility for you and your business, so what are you waiting for?

    Takeaways

    • LinkedIn is no longer just a platform for job seekers and recruiters, but a place for creators and business owners to build their personal brand and grow their business.
    • With only 1% of people posting content on LinkedIn, there is less competition compared to other social media platforms.
    • LinkedIn offers features like LinkedIn Lives and audio events, making it more than just a professional networking site.

  • 73: {Solo} The Journey of Creating ChilledVino
    Jun 20 2024

    Did you know that I'm the Founder and creator of a wine drinkware product called ChilledVino? Today I share my journey of inventing ChilledVino, my patented wine drinkware product that keeps beverages cold for hours. I talk about the inspiration behind the product and the challenges faced in bringing it to life. I emphasize the importance of having a supportive partner and hiring the right professionals, such as a mechanical engineer, manufacturing partners, marketing companies and a CPA. I also talk through the challenges of what it looked like bringing a product to life in the middle of a pandemic!

    Takeaways

    • Creating a product from an idea to physical creation is a challenging and expensive process.
    • Having a supportive partner and hiring the right professionals is crucial.
    • Prototyping and testing are essential to ensure the functionality and aesthetics of the product.
    • Finding a manufacturer and navigating legal contracts can be difficult.
    • Dealing with shipping and warehousing issues can present additional challenges.

    ChilledVino has been featured in television segments & magazines and I wouldn't change it for the world!

    You can purchase ChilledVino HERE or on Amazon HERE
