SPI 848: 3 Themes of 2024 that Have Helped Me Find Success
#848 To end the year, I share the three principles that have guided my work in 2024. Listen in because these ideas have helped me stay productive, find success with short-form content, and write a new book! The first theme I tackle in today's episode is the power of simplification. You and your followers don't have time and attention to spare, so think about the simplest ways to achieve your goals. Next, I want you to get more reps in. In fact, I credit committing to posting Shorts every day for the success I've found this year! The final theme I discuss today is flow over force. This is a big one because it empowered me to fully rewrite Lean Learning, my upcoming book, in a week and a half. Tune in because this concept saved my deal with a traditional publisher!

SPI 846: We Let the Customers Down (And Here Was My Response)
#846 Building a strong connection with your followers means showing them you care, even when things go wrong. That's why doing what feels right is part of my DNA in business. It might be difficult or cost time and money, but owning up to mistakes and going the extra mile to fix them makes all the difference! In today's episode, I share a story about a partnership with a company that resulted in four unhappy customers. That's unacceptable when the trust I've built is on the line. Listen in because you'll hear how I worked with Whatnot, the live shopping service I was streaming on for my Deep Pocket Monster audience, to make up for this error. This is about taking responsibility and learning from mistakes to make anyone affected by them feel heard and valued. Navigating these situations can be tricky, though. Tune in to hear about my approach!
