  • It's June, and it’s conference season! Next week, I am attending Atomicon in Newcastle. I’m also recording many more episodes for my two podcasts.

    But I am pausing both podcasts this month, but I will return in July with fresh episodes on studio behind the scenes and then the next season, which is on confidence and communication. 

    When I launched the Confident Live Marketing Podcast back in May 2019, I never missed an episode each week for over 3 years. But consistency for consistency’s sake is not a good strategy. Taking breaks is crucial for maintaining energy, quality content, and avoiding burnout.
