If you’ve listened to my content for any length of time you’ll know I’m a big fan of growing a mailing list and in order to do this I really believe having some sort of freebie or lead magnet massively improves your chances of getting people to hand over their email address. When you’re getting started this can look like a simple downloadable guide, checklist or e-book. But as your business grows a quiz might be something you want to explore to bring people into your world and onto your list. I get questions pretty much every week from people inside and outside the Just Start Now community about quiz software and how to design a good one. So it felt only right to invite co-founder of Interact, Josh Haynam, onto the podcast to share insight from what he sees working well in the world of quizzes for generating leads and customers for your wellness business. In this episode we talk about: The way quizzes mimic the way the brain works and what makes them so addictive and intriguing to us as users How quizzes are a great way to create connection and intimacy (or as Josh points out in-to-me-see!) with your ideal customers, greeting them and starting a conversation without you needing to chat in person How Interact is using AI to help build great quizzes fast, yet how Josh still sees real human interaction as the bedrock of all successful businesses When it’s a good time to use a quiz in your business and when it’s not and the point where automation really fits in.

Instagram is a tool that many of us have a love/hate relationship with and feel confused (and often filled with comparison) by how to use effectively. We know it can help us reach loads of ideal customers, yet somehow our accounts are the ones stagnant on numbers, only being followed by other practitioners and feeling like a total time suck.
This year I've invested in my own skills as a coach so that I can better serve my clients and the Just Start Now community. And after years of waiting for the right course to come along I chose Sas Petherick's Self-Belief Academy.
Right now as I release this podcast episode in November 2023 we are being flooded with videos and images of the horrific atrocities happening in the Israel/Palestine conflict. And sadly the case is that at any given moment in the world we live in, violence, displacement, persecution and war is taking place somewhere in the world. When we bear witness to this – how does it affect how we show up for our business? Should we talk about it? Should we carry on as normal? Or should we shut up shop and stop selling? It feels there are loud opinions arguing all sides, leaving us feeling we’re never doing the ‘right’ thing. With that backdrop I’m talking to Dalia on the podcast today – a Pilates instructor based in London, who herself has experienced war and conflict for many years in her home country of Lebanon. In this episode we talk about: Dalia’s own experience with trauma living in a country where she experienced conflict and what this taught her about suppressing, ignoring and avoiding her feelings. The importance of acknowledging and hearing the voice that tells you to slow or stop and feel if it is hard to do business right now Bringing a non-judgemental approach to both ourselves and to others in how they handle sharing or not sharing their thoughts and opinions on world events on a public platform What can be going on behind the scenes for us and others in how we choose to process and move through the grief we feel when we watch others suffer. And how ‘business as usual’ isn’t necessarily a bad thing for some (but in fact necessary). Tools that Dalia uses to connect with herself and not lose sight of the good and beauty in the world when everything feels dark and difficult – including mindfulness, walking, movement, breath-work and leaning in to communities and networks to feel less alone. The importance of talking therapies and practitioners in giving us a way to accept and understand ourselves more, and the ripple impact this has of understanding and showing compassion for others in a world that would otherwise seek to polarise and pit us against one another.
This episode was inspired by another question that was asked recently in the Just Start Now community - which is a safe space for my members to ask any and all questions no matter how small or seemingly silly, at any stage of business.
