rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615: Welcome

back to another episode of the

2

00:00:02,989 --> 00:00:05,329

Deeply Rooted Business Podcast.

3

00:00:05,581 --> 00:00:09,101

Today is the season recap.

4

00:00:09,101 --> 00:00:12,681

So Jess and I are going to be

combing through some of our

5

00:00:12,681 --> 00:00:14,241

business goals for the podcast.

6

00:00:14,911 --> 00:00:18,821

We'll do a little fun exercise

called start, stop, continue, and

7

00:00:18,821 --> 00:00:22,571

we'll kind of go through just a

little bit of how we felt about

8

00:00:22,581 --> 00:00:26,891

the actual season and what we're

feeling about taking forward with us.

9

00:00:27,247 --> 00:00:27,937

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615: Yeah.

10

00:00:27,937 --> 00:00:31,517

As I'm pulling up our analytics, which

we really don't focus on too much.

11

00:00:31,567 --> 00:00:34,247

I think we're more of like,

do we like doing this?

12

00:00:34,247 --> 00:00:38,097

Does it give us a talk about things we

like to talk about and give us some, it

13

00:00:38,097 --> 00:00:39,927

does give us good content on the reg.

14

00:00:39,977 --> 00:00:41,767

So definitely worth that way.

15

00:00:41,767 --> 00:00:44,557

Yeah, but debriefing season three already.

16

00:00:44,557 --> 00:00:46,657

rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615:

something really funny to add in.

17

00:00:46,657 --> 00:00:51,697

This is a little behind the scenes sneak

peek is that the last half of the season

18

00:00:51,697 --> 00:00:54,464

was actually not the original plan.

19

00:00:54,464 --> 00:00:58,904

Jess and I had a meeting probably about

four, three weeks ago or something and

20

00:00:58,904 --> 00:01:00,660

we said, Hmm, are you feeling these?

21

00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:01,280

Podcast titles.

22

00:01:01,740 --> 00:01:02,350

Are you feeling this?

23

00:01:02,660 --> 00:01:03,760

how do we want to shift these?

24

00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,310

And we actually did a full shift

and re like middle of the season

25

00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:11,720

planning session to make it a little

bit more aligned with what the actual

26

00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,017

industry is vibing with right now.

27

00:01:14,027 --> 00:01:16,880

So I think that was kind of

funny that not the original plan,

28

00:01:16,890 --> 00:01:18,420

but can we are here to pivot?

29

00:01:18,661 --> 00:01:20,861

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615: We

had a plan and we're ahead.

30

00:01:20,871 --> 00:01:24,271

We're gonna recording this a couple of

weeks ahead of when this is going to

31

00:01:24,271 --> 00:01:28,101

come out and that makes me feel good

because I like to be ahead on things.

32

00:01:28,185 --> 00:01:31,695

We said third season, I think

we're up to like 35 episodes now or

33

00:01:31,695 --> 00:01:34,185

something like that, which is crazy.

34

00:01:34,438 --> 00:01:36,558

There's really no place where I can

find a number really quickly because

35

00:01:36,558 --> 00:01:39,728

sometimes we do 10, 10 episodes

a season, sometimes we do 12.

36

00:01:39,728 --> 00:01:42,808

But anyway, we were even outlining it the

other day and Rachel and I were both in

37

00:01:42,808 --> 00:01:44,648

our Notion account, editing the episode.

38

00:01:44,648 --> 00:01:47,108

And she's like, it's crazy that

we can just do this together

39

00:01:47,108 --> 00:01:48,438

and not even talk about it.

40

00:01:48,438 --> 00:01:51,488

Cause I was plugging in what I wanted

to say and she was plugging in what

41

00:01:51,488 --> 00:01:55,608

She needed to say and that's my

overall feeling with the podcast is

42

00:01:55,608 --> 00:02:00,378

it's gotten out of that Uncomfortable

takes forever to do everything trying

43

00:02:00,378 --> 00:02:05,358

to figure out the platform where it's

just like a routine We show up we Talk

44

00:02:05,358 --> 00:02:07,338

we Get everything published out there.

45

00:02:07,338 --> 00:02:09,768

There's not really a lot of

hiccups or anything like that.

46

00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,561

So it just feels good in comparisons.

47

00:02:11,561 --> 00:02:14,411

Like this week, I've had a YouTube

channel for forever, but I'm

48

00:02:14,411 --> 00:02:17,131

actually have a YouTube strategy

now that I'm implementing.

49

00:02:17,131 --> 00:02:18,091

And it was really hard.

50

00:02:18,091 --> 00:02:23,611

It took me five hours to record five

minute videos and it took me forever to

51

00:02:23,611 --> 00:02:27,671

record everything you would think that

because we get on a podcast and talk that

52

00:02:27,671 --> 00:02:31,841

you can do that on YouTube, but that's

like really not how YouTube videos work.

53

00:02:31,851 --> 00:02:33,791

You have to be a little bit more scripted.

54

00:02:33,856 --> 00:02:35,226

And it was hard and it sucked.

55

00:02:35,226 --> 00:02:38,246

And it was just a reminder to

me with starting anything new.

56

00:02:38,246 --> 00:02:41,126

It's always going to be

hard and suck the first time,

57

00:02:41,272 --> 00:02:42,802

rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615:

My business mentor always

58

00:02:42,802 --> 00:02:44,902

says it's not hard, it's new.

59

00:02:44,902 --> 00:02:46,502

And it's a reframe of that.

60

00:02:46,502 --> 00:02:50,252

because in that beginning stage of

just like you not knowing, we're

61

00:02:50,252 --> 00:02:52,702

not doing anything really different.

62

00:02:52,852 --> 00:02:56,622

Now in the podcast than what

we were doing in the beginning.

63

00:02:56,664 --> 00:03:00,464

Which took a lot more time and

felt a little less clear now.

64

00:03:00,464 --> 00:03:04,584

It just flows in such an

effortless way that it's less new.

65

00:03:04,584 --> 00:03:06,804

it's getting into that fun stage.

66

00:03:06,804 --> 00:03:11,284

So I'm very excited because I think even

though we had, maybe we do some rerecords

67

00:03:11,284 --> 00:03:15,334

of some of the original episodes, because

I think we can rift a little bit better

68

00:03:15,334 --> 00:03:17,584

now and provide a little bit more context.

69

00:03:17,860 --> 00:03:18,630

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615: Yeah, for sure.

70

00:03:18,650 --> 00:03:22,140

But just reminded me of like a starting

out when I was doing that this week.

71

00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:22,890

I'm like, this sucks.

72

00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:24,630

By the time I got done recording,

I was like, I don't want to

73

00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:25,940

look at any of these videos.

74

00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,640

I never want to do that again, but

I put it on a calendar, another

75

00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:30,890

recording date next month.

76

00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:32,520

So I could stay consistent with it.

77

00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:32,940

But.

78

00:03:32,940 --> 00:03:35,740

Yeah, it was a lot of work and

very energetically draining.

79

00:03:35,740 --> 00:03:37,890

I didn't want to do anything

for the rest of the day.

80

00:03:37,940 --> 00:03:40,510

So if that's just a little motivation,

if you're starting anything

81

00:03:40,510 --> 00:03:42,273

new, let's get into last season.

82

00:03:42,273 --> 00:03:46,063

So we're just gonna go through the things

that we said that we wanted to start this

83

00:03:46,073 --> 00:03:48,942

season, what we did and how it's going.

84

00:03:48,942 --> 00:03:51,783

So the first thing that we

wanted to start was Instagram

85

00:03:51,783 --> 00:03:53,563

carousels, which we really haven't,

86

00:03:53,591 --> 00:03:54,932

rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615:

We got the template made.

87

00:03:55,031 --> 00:03:59,562

It's one of those things that still

takes a lot of time to comb through

88

00:03:59,562 --> 00:04:01,652

the content that we're doing.

89

00:04:01,705 --> 00:04:05,225

But we've noticed based off

of where our engagement is

90

00:04:05,225 --> 00:04:07,212

happening most, it's just not.

91

00:04:07,212 --> 00:04:11,962

On Instagram, it's in YouTube

shorts, it's on Tik TOK and really

92

00:04:11,972 --> 00:04:14,242

kind of embracing those areas.

93

00:04:14,252 --> 00:04:17,909

This fell to, not as

a much of a priority.

94

00:04:17,988 --> 00:04:21,499

So if you listen to last episode

where we were talking about business

95

00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:24,979

priorities, this was one that I

think we could have spent a lot of

96

00:04:24,999 --> 00:04:28,289

time on, but I don't think it would

have been the best use of our time.

97

00:04:28,413 --> 00:04:30,043

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615: Yeah, and

for the next one too, I think there's

98

00:04:30,043 --> 00:04:33,423

a theme going here is that we said we

wanted to start doing guest episodes.

99

00:04:33,463 --> 00:04:37,203

Both of these things didn't happen

for a reason that I always harp

100

00:04:37,203 --> 00:04:38,533

on that things don't happen.

101

00:04:38,533 --> 00:04:41,673

It's because we didn't have a project

or a process set up to get these.

102

00:04:41,673 --> 00:04:44,093

In motion, it was like, okay,

we want to do carousels.

103

00:04:44,093 --> 00:04:45,443

And okay, I got a carousel done.

104

00:04:45,443 --> 00:04:47,623

And then it's like, there's no process.

105

00:04:47,623 --> 00:04:50,873

Like, how do we go through

and pull that stuff?

106

00:04:50,903 --> 00:04:54,236

So I think that's why we like

intentionally or maybe not intentionally,

107

00:04:54,236 --> 00:04:57,826

but take these breaks in between the

seasons is so that we can go back

108

00:04:57,826 --> 00:04:59,526

in and shore up the operations.

109

00:04:59,546 --> 00:05:00,436

So like we have the carousel.

110

00:05:01,036 --> 00:05:03,986

I just need to write a process

for my VA to pull like what to

111

00:05:03,986 --> 00:05:06,066

pull out to put in that carousel.

112

00:05:06,130 --> 00:05:09,316

Because I kind of dumped a task on her

to do it and it didn't turn out right.

113

00:05:09,316 --> 00:05:12,256

And that's not her fault because

I didn't actually delegate and

114

00:05:12,256 --> 00:05:14,926

provide the specific instructions

and process to get it to the

115

00:05:14,926 --> 00:05:16,676

outcome that I wanted it to come in.

116

00:05:16,726 --> 00:05:19,686

So that'll be fixed guest episodes.

117

00:05:19,686 --> 00:05:22,646

rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615: I literally

just made a note to send the link out

118

00:05:22,646 --> 00:05:27,633

because we have people who are excited

to be a part of the, podcast as a guest.

119

00:05:27,736 --> 00:05:32,506

Jess has set up this incredible system

to capture all of that information.

120

00:05:32,506 --> 00:05:33,366

I just need to do it.

121

00:05:33,426 --> 00:05:34,646

So put a note here.

122

00:05:34,656 --> 00:05:37,396

I'm not removing this paper

from my desk until I do it,

123

00:05:38,202 --> 00:05:40,682

.

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615: Yeah, one of our start things for next could be , maybe

124

00:05:40,682 --> 00:05:43,702

during one of our Monday meetings, we

come up with a list of people we want

125

00:05:43,702 --> 00:05:47,232

to invite and just send out pitches to

them real quick or something like that.

126

00:05:47,292 --> 00:05:50,002

I feel like that's where it's like,

you have to finish connecting the dots.

127

00:05:50,042 --> 00:05:50,752

And sometimes.

128

00:05:50,752 --> 00:05:51,682

It just doesn't happen.

129

00:05:51,682 --> 00:05:53,512

And then that's why your things

don't happen, which is why

130

00:05:53,512 --> 00:05:54,822

reflection is really important.

131

00:05:54,832 --> 00:05:57,392

Because if we would never go back

and reflect on these things, we

132

00:05:57,392 --> 00:06:00,152

would have just kept creating new

things that we didn't implement.

133

00:06:00,152 --> 00:06:02,472

And now we can actually go back

and get those things tied up.

134

00:06:02,606 --> 00:06:06,516

So we said we wanted to get

more active on social accounts.

135

00:06:06,566 --> 00:06:08,146

I think we were more active for sure.

136

00:06:08,146 --> 00:06:11,646

We definitely were more active posting . I

was really good at the beginning of the

137

00:06:11,646 --> 00:06:15,816

season of sharing on my own personal

stories, like here's what's happening.

138

00:06:15,816 --> 00:06:17,526

But I think we have room for improvement,

139

00:06:17,526 --> 00:06:19,636

rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615: definitely

have a lot of room for improvement there.

140

00:06:19,636 --> 00:06:23,966

it's one of those things that, is it a big

goal for us to grow the podcast and more

141

00:06:23,966 --> 00:06:25,636

people can listen to what we're saying?

142

00:06:25,666 --> 00:06:26,116

Yes.

143

00:06:26,116 --> 00:06:30,166

But I think in form of engagement,

we've had a lot of great feedback

144

00:06:30,166 --> 00:06:32,076

just come to us organically.

145

00:06:32,162 --> 00:06:33,602

And we're grateful for that.

146

00:06:33,622 --> 00:06:36,979

So if you are listening and you

do love the podcast, Reach out

147

00:06:36,989 --> 00:06:40,806

to us, send us a DM, either DM

Jess, DM me we love to hear it.

148

00:06:40,806 --> 00:06:43,746

It really does keep us moving

in a direction that is like

149

00:06:43,746 --> 00:06:45,756

validation, like love this.

150

00:06:45,826 --> 00:06:50,216

But it's not the, like to create

polls or to create those things like

151

00:06:50,246 --> 00:06:51,646

that kind of fell to the boy side.

152

00:06:51,702 --> 00:06:53,492

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615: if we're

going to do starts for next season, but

153

00:06:53,492 --> 00:06:58,522

I think one of my starts is definitely

going to be outsourcing the podcast.

154

00:06:58,532 --> 00:07:01,772

, Editing and publishing

piece, because I've got that.

155

00:07:01,802 --> 00:07:06,612

So systemized now where I have step

by step, like, this is what I click.

156

00:07:06,612 --> 00:07:07,342

This is what I do.

157

00:07:07,382 --> 00:07:07,982

This is what I do.

158

00:07:07,982 --> 00:07:09,952

I know it takes me an

hour and a half to do it.

159

00:07:09,972 --> 00:07:13,922

So I know I can write out that process

and give it to a VA and it will take

160

00:07:13,922 --> 00:07:17,152

them hopefully an hour and a half to do

it probably a little longer the first

161

00:07:17,152 --> 00:07:20,272

time, cause I've been doing it for a

little bit, but I, I feel I'm ready to

162

00:07:20,272 --> 00:07:23,582

let that go because just, I need that

other hour and a half in my business

163

00:07:23,592 --> 00:07:25,372

to maybe do some of these other things.

164

00:07:25,465 --> 00:07:28,995

Another thing that I really want to start

doing is like, we're very good about

165

00:07:28,995 --> 00:07:33,205

laying out our topics beforehand, but

I've been on an SEO learning journey.

166

00:07:33,225 --> 00:07:36,865

And have a bunch of tools in my tool

belt now to be able to make sure that

167

00:07:36,865 --> 00:07:40,605

we're picking the right keywords and

that we're working those into our titles.

168

00:07:40,665 --> 00:07:42,745

I think the way that our episodes,

and I don't want to become too

169

00:07:42,745 --> 00:07:45,455

scripted, but I think the way that our

episodes come out right now is like.

170

00:07:45,455 --> 00:07:48,355

I'm trying to like back into an

SEO keyword, but just getting

171

00:07:48,355 --> 00:07:49,635

a little more strategic.

172

00:07:49,635 --> 00:07:51,855

And that will also help

validate our topics too.

173

00:07:51,855 --> 00:07:54,435

Because if we can't find that people

are searching for something that we

174

00:07:54,435 --> 00:07:57,515

want to talk about, then maybe we're

the only ones that are interested in it.

175

00:07:57,515 --> 00:08:00,755

Or maybe there's a different verbiage

that we can use to be interested in it.

176

00:08:00,785 --> 00:08:06,735

So using keyword research with our episode

planning for next quarter is on my list.

177

00:08:06,735 --> 00:08:09,125

rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615: Yeah,

Jess learned SEO and learning

178

00:08:09,125 --> 00:08:10,755

the whole YouTube strategy.

179

00:08:10,755 --> 00:08:16,285

I am totally just riding the

coattails here I have always wanted

180

00:08:16,285 --> 00:08:17,915

to focus on those two things.

181

00:08:18,012 --> 00:08:20,422

I've just never

prioritized it in my brain.

182

00:08:20,422 --> 00:08:24,162

But Jess is in full on learning

mode and we are loving that.

183

00:08:24,162 --> 00:08:25,682

So keep going.

184

00:08:27,228 --> 00:08:29,768

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615: not in fully,

my new YouTube channel is going to be

185

00:08:29,768 --> 00:08:31,248

like, here's what I learned this week.

186

00:08:31,258 --> 00:08:34,918

And it's just going to be an episode

of like downloading everything.

187

00:08:34,928 --> 00:08:38,908

Cause I am, I love to learn

at the expense of my business.

188

00:08:38,928 --> 00:08:42,548

Like how we talked in the last episode

is like a glass plate or a paper plate.

189

00:08:42,558 --> 00:08:46,208

And usually my paper plate is learning

and I will let my glass break.

190

00:08:46,208 --> 00:08:46,878

They won't break.

191

00:08:46,908 --> 00:08:51,938

They'll get a little shaky and really

close to the ground before like,

192

00:08:51,938 --> 00:08:54,008

Oh, I need to stop learning and

actually do the things that make

193

00:08:54,008 --> 00:08:55,178

me money in my business right now.

194

00:08:55,728 --> 00:08:56,108

Okay.

195

00:08:56,208 --> 00:08:58,748

So anything we want to stop doing?

196

00:08:59,002 --> 00:09:02,202

rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615: So we

stopped managing the publishing and the

197

00:09:02,212 --> 00:09:04,812

promoting of the videos and everything.

198

00:09:04,812 --> 00:09:06,282

So I've handed that off.

199

00:09:06,282 --> 00:09:09,522

I still have the strategic part of

picking the videos out, but I'm no

200

00:09:09,522 --> 00:09:11,982

longer scheduling and in the weeds of it.

201

00:09:12,302 --> 00:09:16,482

So those time consuming tasks of actually

getting it onto the platform and doing all

202

00:09:16,482 --> 00:09:21,342

of that, not on my list anymore, because

I, Have such a neurodivergent brand

203

00:09:21,342 --> 00:09:23,762

that I will forget and just not do it.

204

00:09:23,852 --> 00:09:25,372

So that's handed off.

205

00:09:25,422 --> 00:09:27,032

I'm super, super proud of that.

206

00:09:27,032 --> 00:09:30,412

One of my quarterly goals was

to hire a new marketing VA.

207

00:09:30,412 --> 00:09:31,642

Check done.

208

00:09:31,642 --> 00:09:32,832

She's fabulous.

209

00:09:32,832 --> 00:09:33,542

So yeah.

210

00:09:33,542 --> 00:09:34,182

What about you?

211

00:09:34,268 --> 00:09:36,588

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615: So mine

was just stop publishing the task.

212

00:09:36,588 --> 00:09:37,308

That's what I'm going to do.

213

00:09:37,308 --> 00:09:39,468

I'm trying to think if there's

anything else I want to stop doing

214

00:09:39,468 --> 00:09:42,918

now I mean, the only thing I do for

the podcast is show up and publish,

215

00:09:42,918 --> 00:09:44,258

but I'm just going to stop publishing.

216

00:09:44,618 --> 00:09:45,698

rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615:

Stop showing up.

217

00:09:47,364 --> 00:09:50,374

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615: also stop

ghosting my email list and at least

218

00:09:50,374 --> 00:09:52,654

just send them my podcast episodes

219

00:09:52,937 --> 00:09:54,887

rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615: I literally

was thinking about that the other day.

220

00:09:54,927 --> 00:09:58,037

Cause I was trying to really

be strategic with my newsletters

221

00:09:58,067 --> 00:09:59,217

to sell the new product.

222

00:09:59,217 --> 00:10:02,947

But I was like, but honestly so

much of this content is so good

223

00:10:02,947 --> 00:10:04,237

that it just needs to go to.

224

00:10:04,327 --> 00:10:07,207

So, yeah, no other things

that I want to stop doing.

225

00:10:07,418 --> 00:10:08,368

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615:

So then continue.

226

00:10:08,398 --> 00:10:11,608

We love our co working

meetings on Mondays.

227

00:10:11,648 --> 00:10:12,678

Do we have them every Monday?

228

00:10:12,678 --> 00:10:12,978

No.

229

00:10:12,978 --> 00:10:16,038

Do we have them enough that it makes our

life easier when we sit down to record?

230

00:10:16,418 --> 00:10:16,918

Yes.

231

00:10:17,458 --> 00:10:19,458

We love our strategic planning meetings.

232

00:10:19,458 --> 00:10:23,608

We want to get even more strategic

with our strategic planning meetings.

233

00:10:23,698 --> 00:10:26,738

I think Rachel could go deep into

this but our scripting strategy,

234

00:10:26,788 --> 00:10:28,288

. maybe y'all notice, let us know.

235

00:10:28,298 --> 00:10:29,558

Do we sound too scripted now?

236

00:10:29,558 --> 00:10:32,438

Do we sound more cohesive and like

we actually have a plan of what we're

237

00:10:32,438 --> 00:10:36,228

talking about and not just like free

it's like going to say freelancing

238

00:10:36,228 --> 00:10:40,569

it, but free, whatever it is.

239

00:10:40,569 --> 00:10:44,299

rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615: it's not

so much of a super scripted strategy.

240

00:10:44,299 --> 00:10:48,319

We really just framework and

outline and for both of us, put

241

00:10:48,329 --> 00:10:52,425

little marks of saying, like,

this is something we can rift on.

242

00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:55,345

Oh, this isn't really

something we want to rift on.

243

00:10:55,355 --> 00:10:57,345

Here's a little bit more structure there.

244

00:10:57,415 --> 00:11:02,305

So we're very intentional with how our

brains work in that scripting process.

245

00:11:02,305 --> 00:11:02,605

So that.

246

00:11:02,605 --> 00:11:07,805

Come time to record the episode, even

if we've had the busiest of days or

247

00:11:07,805 --> 00:11:12,425

the busiest of weeks and our brains

are just not participating, we at least

248

00:11:12,435 --> 00:11:17,205

then have a structure that can give and

still deliver a really good episode.

249

00:11:17,255 --> 00:11:18,695

So I loved that.

250

00:11:18,695 --> 00:11:22,475

Effective scripting strategy and

especially now because I think if it was

251

00:11:22,475 --> 00:11:26,055

in this episode where Jess and I were

saying we can work at the same exact time

252

00:11:26,055 --> 00:11:31,695

on our co workings to really flesh out a

really solid outline pretty effectively

253

00:11:31,695 --> 00:11:34,745

we're like oh that sounds great oh don't

love that like oh great great great

254

00:11:34,995 --> 00:11:38,655

and Jess is doing her part I'm doing

our part and they just connect so well

255

00:11:38,655 --> 00:11:40,985

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615: Well, and I

think another really cool side effect

256

00:11:40,985 --> 00:11:44,335

of scripting this way is , obviously

Rachel and I have both done a lot of

257

00:11:44,335 --> 00:11:48,235

learning and have a lot of experience,

but it's actually being able to put

258

00:11:48,235 --> 00:11:53,645

how I approach a certain subject into a

tangible framework into like my, well, I

259

00:11:53,645 --> 00:11:56,295

guess it's our, our tangible framework.

260

00:11:56,305 --> 00:11:58,055

So a lot, we'll be like, Oh,

we're going to approach this

261

00:11:58,055 --> 00:11:59,195

from start, stop, continue.

262

00:11:59,195 --> 00:12:03,345

Or we're going to approach this from

starting stretching and scaling.

263

00:12:03,345 --> 00:12:06,305

We have , Different frameworks

that we go back to over and over

264

00:12:06,305 --> 00:12:10,005

again of how we approach different

issues that we're trying to help

265

00:12:10,005 --> 00:12:11,565

people solve in their business.

266

00:12:11,565 --> 00:12:15,145

And overall boosted my confidence

that I actually know what I'm

267

00:12:15,155 --> 00:12:16,665

talking about because I can.

268

00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:19,000

rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615: I think

it's been so much fun to show off

269

00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,140

our brain power and things like that.

270

00:12:21,140 --> 00:12:23,280

It's definitely, I completely

agree, definitely given me

271

00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,590

more confidence as well.

272

00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:26,680

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615: it says

we outlined all the episodes before

273

00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:28,330

the season starts, but maybe we did.

274

00:12:28,330 --> 00:12:31,370

And then we just like threw everything in

the trash can at least outlined what we

275

00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:35,380

wanted to talk about in each episode and

then we threw everything in the trash can

276

00:12:35,380 --> 00:12:38,280

and was able, not everything, but a lot

of the episodes in the trash can and was

277

00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:43,267

able to pivot to things that were more

relevant to the current business landscape

278

00:12:43,267 --> 00:12:47,227

which was good and which could have not

happened if we hadn't done the proactive

279

00:12:47,227 --> 00:12:50,797

planning before and been a little bit

of a head in our recording schedule.

280

00:12:50,906 --> 00:12:55,116

rachel_2_05-17-2024_132615: So, Star

Trek will continue for season three.

281

00:12:55,284 --> 00:12:56,104

It's wrapped!

282

00:12:56,415 --> 00:12:58,596

Well, we're not taking a very long break.

283

00:12:58,596 --> 00:13:01,566

We're taking a pretty quick,

fast, and efficient one.

284

00:13:01,626 --> 00:13:04,386

And then we'll have some really

fun guest episodes coming too.

285

00:13:04,386 --> 00:13:06,466

I don't know when we'll

actually get those scheduled.

286

00:13:06,476 --> 00:13:08,386

But, very, very excited for those.

287

00:13:08,496 --> 00:13:10,950

And excited for the next season,

because they only just keep

288

00:13:10,950 --> 00:13:12,540

getting better, like, honestly.

289

00:13:12,921 --> 00:13:15,331

jess-_2_05-17-2024_132615: And let us

know, , I feel we've tried to be like a

290

00:13:15,331 --> 00:13:19,791

pretty holistic view of business, but if

there's anything that, We haven't talked

291

00:13:19,801 --> 00:13:23,841

about or an issue that you're having in

your business that you'd like us to talk

292

00:13:23,851 --> 00:13:28,261

about or discuss or a topic that you'd

be interested in hearing more about us.

293

00:13:28,261 --> 00:13:31,471

Maybe we grazed over it in a past episode

and you want us to go deeper on it.

294

00:13:31,528 --> 00:13:32,828

Let us know.

295

00:13:32,868 --> 00:13:33,918

You can either.

296

00:13:34,116 --> 00:13:38,186

just DMS on Instagram or

TikTok or one of those places.

297

00:13:38,226 --> 00:13:42,586

Make sure you follow along so you get

notified when our next episode airs.

298

00:13:42,669 --> 00:13:45,139

I think right now we're

thinking sometime in June.
