Coffees and Content: Social Media Is the Shop Front Now
Coffees & Content | Marketing, Social Media & Digital Strategy PodcastShow Notes
This week's episode came out on a Tuesday ... and I promise it was worth the wait. I've just come off the back of speaking at the Christchurch Winter NZ Gift Fairs (more on that very soon), and I'm recording this before heading into an Auckland content shoot — so we're keeping it sharp.

What we're covering: Why the rooms that scare you are the ones worth walking into, and what showing up at that first conference actually turned intoWhat three founder...
Leads slow down. Proposals stall. And we start convincing ourselves that our whole strategy is broken.

In this episode we'll chat through: Why turning to social media in tough moments turns into comparison, not inspirationThe difference between an actual strategy problem and a confidence problemWhy t...

It's simply not knowing what's actually missing before they go and hire. In this episode, I'm unpacking: Why "should I get help" is the wrong question, and what the real one isThe difference between needing strategy and needing execution, and why most people can't tell which one they're short onWhy hiring one person to do it all alm...
