Jesse Cole is the founder of Fans First Entertainment, the creator of The Savannah Bananas and the author of Find Your Yellow Tux & Fans First: Change The Game, Break the Rules & Create an Unforgettable Experience.

His teams have welcomed more than one million fans to their ballparks and have been featured on MSNBC, CNN, ESPN and in Entrepreneur Magazine, but it wasn’t always sunshine & bananas in Jesse’s world.

Just over 5 years ago he and his wife Emily were sleeping on an air mattress after draining their bank account, about to take the biggest risk of their life. You’ll need to tune in to hear about it!

I first was introduced to Jesse and his epic story through the I Love Marketing Podcast, and I can honestly say that from the moment he started talking I was hooked. He’s a marketing genius!

Jesse’s approach to building a BRAND rather than a business and creating FANS not customers is the type of marketing that I stand behind 110%. He’s not preaching expensive facebook ads or fancy funnels, just an epic product and a memorable experience.

Jesse is about to share SO much wisdom with you all and I can promise you that whether you’re running a baseball team like Jesse or just starting a little home based business - his marketing tips are going to ROCK YOUR WORLD.

If you want to grab a copy of Jesse’s Book, it’s called Find Your Yellow Tux: How to Be Successful by Standing Out.

Jesse ALSO hosts his own podcast, called Business Done Differently.

If you’re ready to Stand Out by thinking different, creating attention and creating fans for life - then this is the episode for you.

Today, I’m sitting down with Blake Fleischacker (aka Blake Fly) who is a master of many things, but most notable for his unique ability to connect with anyone.

He might be one of the most inspiring, creative and appreciative individuals I have ever met.

To begin, I want to share how Blake’s work has impacted my life and my business.

• Because of Blake, I send my friends and family members text messages when I think of them

• Because of Blake, I am empowered to send messages of gratitude and snail mail just to say “thinking of you”

• Because of Blake, I have signed new clients

• Because of Blake, I believe in the power of Scrap Paper, Road Signs & Cereal Boxes.

I know, you’re totally lost and have no clue what I mean - but by tuning into this episode and learning from Blake on the power of Unexpected Appreciation, Gratitude & Creative Connection - you’re going to have a whole new appreciation for how SIMPLE marketing and business growth can be.

Julia Rose helps soon-to-be-writers (like you) go from terrified to confident by PUBLISHING your writing. I sat down with her to hear about: the impact that publishing her work on Medium.com had, simple method for choosing what to write about, how to get over the fear of putting yourself out there, navigating through imposter syndrome, and more!

Returning for her 2nd… or actually, maybe 3rd appearance on the show - let me re-introduce you to Fan Favourite, Stephanie Long.

Steph is a business coach for nutritionists, the founder of the launch your nutrition biz program, the host of the next level nutrition biz podcast - and recently, the girl who took 1 month off from her business!

Yepp, you heard that right, Steph took august completely off from work because she wanted to focus on herself and on recharging. After reconnecting with the WHY behind starting her business, which was to have more freedom and flexibility, Steph decided to step back for the month of august and the best part was that the business didn’t become irrelevant.

Today, I’m sitting down with Giovanni Angelucci, Founder of Queen Street Bakery!

Their breads, buns, pizza dough and baking flours can be found across Canada and they are leading the gluten-free, allergen-free and taste-FULL bread category.

Just one taste of their White Bean & Millet Seed bread or their Cinnamon Raisin Loaf will be enough to convert you. These products are insanely delicious and more than that, they’re packed with nutrients.

In this conversation, we’re rewinding back to just a few years ago when Giovanni first had the idea to start a bakery and how that led them to finding placement in 100’s and 100’s of stores across Canada.

Krista is one of the most determined, action-taking individuals you’ll ever meet! Tune in to hear about her Entrepreneurial Journey. In this episode, Krista and I chat about…

• What she did when she first graduated from school

• How she was able to go freelance and match her corporate salary

• The simple marketing and lead gen strategy that she used to begin her 1:1 coaching practice

• How the idea to launch the DSC came to be

• And success tips for anyone launching an online business or membership

In this show I'm chatting about the power of being consistent in order to grow your business.

This is something that I often share with my clients (the power of showing up, time and time again, even when you don’t want to!) and sometimes people refer to it as The Compound Effect.

Today I share some personal stories of how I practice consistency to grow my business.

Today I’m sitting down with Fatima Kamenge, who is the founder of Social Ausum Consulting.

Fatima believes that our values shape all that we do, and through her work she helps businesses to consider People, Planet, and Profit in reaching for their next level of growth.

In addition to her Social Enterprise consulting, Fatima is also a passionate advocate for self-care in business as well as Socially Responsible Investing, which she offers as a service.

I was completely captivated by Fatima’s calm and confident approach to building and growing her business in a way that challenges the status quo and honours her unique perspective and experience. I wanted to talk to her for 5 more hours, because I am only just starting to understand what it means to be a social enterprise, how to invest your money in a socially responsible way and how to practice self-care as a business owner - but wow she shared some really incredible wisdom that we can all use as a launching pad to learn more.
