256. The 4 Content Creator Archetypes with Mel Daniels

In this week's episode, I chat with Mel Daniels about the four content creator archetypes and how you can start using them within your biz. 
Mel Daniels is a Content Strategist, Coach and Speaker who loves to understand ‘why’. Even past her toddler years, she always asked why. She wanted to understand why things worked like they did, why people acted a certain way and why she was the only one who loved peanut butter and sultana sandwiches.
Her curiosity has lead her on an interesting life journey from academic achiever to corporate leader, mum extraordinaire and now business owner.
Mel’s purpose is to teach and empower women who want more from their business, on how to use content in a powerful way. She gives them the confidence they need to become more visible, seen as the expert that they are and inspired to take their business to the next level.

255. Keeping your brand human

Welcome to another Q&R (question and reflection) mini-episode, this week I'm talking about keeping your brand human and when automations fail. 
I really want you to think about how you're showing up in your brand, how you're responding, and how you're given the love. Make sure that you have systems and processes in your business, that feel human to you, and that you're happy with that really reflect the brand experience that you want to give your audience as well.

254. Getting out of Content Creation Coma & Wishful Comparison

This week on the podcast I'm talking about getting out of content creation coma and wishful comparison. 
Today, I wanted to share something that I am challenging myself to do and that I think is important for you to challenge yourself to do as well. It's getting out of a content coma.
Now I have been speaking with so many people recently, clients, and my community colleagues as well, and the thing that I am constantly hearing is, I am consuming other people's content all the time. I'm feeling stuck in my own content. I've been thinking about this and I have created a number of phrases that I think really helped to explain what is going on. So that's what we're going to be talking about today is how you can get out of your content coma, and out of a wishful comparison.

253. Understanding your business & yourself

Welcome to another Q&R (question and reflection) mini-episode, this week I'm sharing my BBA journey with you and why we're shifting to Bold Business Academy, why I'm bringing life & business coaching together and what the future looks like. 
I started BBA back in 2017 and it was called Play Big, Brand Bold. - but no one could get the name right so I change it in 2019.  We've had so many clients go through and triple their profit, shift business models and take paid leave for the first time.  I had clients say that they finally had the courage to take the leap with something they've wanted to do and one of my favourites are clients who let me know that they are finally paying themselves!
This year I was certified as a life and mindset coach which has been such a fun and powerful personal development investment and I knew that I wanted to bring that more to my clients, which is why I created Courageously You. 
So from 2023 we're in the next iteration of BBA.  I'm taking it from Brand Builders Academy because people used to ask - is it just for branding and making it the Bold Business Academy?  Bold has been a word that I've used in my branding since I started my business in 2015 and I think it just fits perfectly. 
I'm redoing all of the content in BBA to streamline it, update it, make it even more powerful from a business and mindset perspective which I'm really excited about. 
So the purpose of this episode was to only tell you about some of the changes coming to BBA but also share what I've learned along the way building and growing my program and I'm going to talk about the successes and failures.

250 - BEST OF 22 Replay - 207 Reset & Reassess What You Really Want

Today on the podcast we're going in deep. At this time of year, it's natural to want to stop and reassess what's going on in life and business. I think it's so easy to just keep going. Keep doing what you've been doing. But the truth is you're not the same person. You might think you are, but I'm here to tell you, you're not. You've been through a life-changing event where everything was put on pause and now you're back in life again.
