In this episode I chat with Cheryl, the founder of Clark Strategies. Cheryl has a very interesting story in that she was detained by the United States Immigration System for 295 days. In that time she lost EVERYTHING - her material possessions, digital presence, blogs, social media, websites, domains and more.
Prior to detainment and now after - she is an avid networker who specializes in the the tangible action steps business owners and entrepreneurs need to take to grow their businesses and reach their goals.
She is living proof - relationships matter and one can build and rebuild as many times as needed to hit goals.
Her speaking and teachings have been heard by many in Las Vegas, California, Arizona and now in Ontario Canada. In this episode Cheryl talks about relationship marketing and how we tend to ignore the first word and focus only on the second - that it's backwards.
Cheryl says 'No matter what business you are in - you are in the people validation business. People matter and showing them they matter in turn makes you matter in their world.'

In this episode, I chat with Ingrid Deon who is Founder and CEO of word-craft, a social media marketing agency in Nova Scotia, Canada. She works with national brands such as Delissio, Kraft Dinner, Nescafé and Manulife Bank, as well as smaller companies throughout Canada.
In this episode we cover tactics for increasing engagement on social media. Ingrid finds many business owners create social media content and get discouraged when people don't engage. The main purpose of social media is to be social, so she encourages you to spark conversations instead of just speaking to your audience. Ask questions, inspire your audience, get them to take some kind of action and you'll get so much more out of social media.
