I was so thrilled when I met Mary O’Donohue, a strategic media coach who's worked behind the scenes at the Oprah Winfrey Show and works with authors to profit from publicity. She’...

Sure AI is handy to use and can speed up content creation, but if your marketing sounds like everybody elses (or like AI) you are going to repel instead of attract your ideal client. You want to stop the scroll and communicate in a way that makes people feel like they are being heard, like you are speaking directly to them.

Running an agency can feel like juggling chainsaws while riding a unicycle – you're constantly spinning plates, drowning in client work, and wondering if you'll ever catch a break. One minute you're crushing it with new clients, and the next, you're buried in endless tasks, team management, and the nagging feeling that you're more of a firefighter than a business owner.
