It’s hard to believe this is the 200th episode of the Social Zoom Factor podcast!
What started out as a “test of the podcast waters” transformed into an amazing media and revenue channel for our agency, Marketing Nutz. The Social Zoom Factor podcast has enabled us to differentiate, diversify, build community, provide value to our audience, establish thought leadership, earn trust, generate leads, increase revenue by creating new and diverse revenue streams, make new friends and the list goes on.
We entered the podcast world pretty clueless as to what it would take to not only lunch but run a successful podcast that could be an amazing part of our business. We dug in deep and did the research. We learned from mentors, and developed a solid strategy and plan for success. We knew the future of podcasting is bright and wanted to be at the front of the movement to audio.
Ever since the day we launched our first agency in early 2010, sold it in late 2011 and built the following agency, Marketing Nutz to where it is today, we have held on tight to our WHY of business and life.
I didn’t leave a successful corporate career of 15+ years to simply work 24/7. If it was about the money I would have stayed in corporate. I left corporate to build something amazing, something that could provide amazing people a place to work that was inspiring, challenging, engaging, different, fun, rewarding and empowered them to build something bigger together than we can ever do as individuals.
Has it been easy? Nope. Have there been late night? Of course. However, I have much more time to live life on my terms today than I ever did during my tenure in corporate. I choose my destiny. I choose what clients I work with and what clients I don’t. I choose what experiences build my business, my team, my memories and my life.
We have tried our best to work smarter, not just harder. We believe in the #SmartHustle and building platforms that work even when you are not working. That is exactly what the podcast does. It works when I am not working. It works 24/7.
