Hey y'all, welcome back to the

2

:

Business First Creatives Podcast.

3

:

I need a favor.

4

:

While nothing is really changing

on the front end of the podcast,

5

:

the back end of the podcast is

completely new and different.

6

:

I have switched hosting from

Buzzsprout to Captivate.

7

:

I am now recording episodes on

Squadcast instead of Riverside.

8

:

And with all of these changes, I really

want to make sure that everyone who has

9

:

subscribed or follows the podcast is

able to download a new episode before a

10

:

brand new series launches in September.

11

:

The new series is called Marketing with

Intention and I have interviewed nine

12

:

of my business besties to talk about all

aspects of marketing for your business.

13

:

Now, I'm going to put this out there.

14

:

We are not going to be focusing

on social media marketing.

15

:

I know that I have done that

several times on this podcast.

16

:

And so I really want to take this

opportunity to talk about marketing in

17

:

a holistic way, very strategic, and also

making sure that we uncover some of the

18

:

marketing ideas that don't get talked

about a lot, like in person marketing,

19

:

affiliate marketing, Pinterest marketing.

20

:

So if all of this is of interest to

you and you currently subscribe or

21

:

follow this podcast, I really just want

to make sure that you have downloaded

22

:

this episode and that you have verified

that you are subscribed before the new

23

:

series hits the podcast in September.

24

:

Let me just leave you

with one other update.

25

:

I was listening to episode 90, which

is when I revealed about this time last

26

:

year that I was going to be Chloe's

personal Uber driver for the year.

27

:

I am super excited to tell you that I have

turned in my resignation for that job.

28

:

Chloe is now going to the

neighborhood school, one single

29

:

school all day, every day.

30

:

Which means Colie now has the time

and the space to actually work in

31

:

and run her business going forward.

32

:

So I am super excited

about what this brings.

33

:

That's why I'm ripping the band

aid off now to bring you this very

34

:

short and concise solo episode.

35

:

but I do have to let you go because this

is my first day working in my office since

36

:

school has started and I really need to

sit down and just make my to do list.

37

:

Y'all, my to do list is going to be so

long I am not going to know where to

38

:

start, but first thing that I always

say is getting all of the information

39

:

from inside your head, onto a piece

of paper or somewhere electronic,

40

:

is the first step to be productive.

41

:

All right.

42

:

That's it for this episode.

43

:

See you soon.
