234 How to Build a Family Chocolate EMPIRE - Mid-Day Squares

Midday Squares is a Canadian Snacking Chocolate Company based out of Montreal, founded by Jake Karls, Lezlie Karls, and Nick Saltarelli (yes, they are family!)

Sitting down with Midday Squares for an interview was a dream come true! I had followed their work for years, I snack on their products daily, and I eat up their content because it's so damn good. They are leaders in the food and bev space not only because of a high quality product, but also because they are transparently sharing the behind the scenes of building their business: documenting the highs (aka getting listed in walmart) and the lows (spending 2 years and tons of money to develop a new flavour, only to have it flop).

It was an honor to sit down and record this episode LIVE in Toronto with a studio audience.

I know that our conversation will be one that you guys LOVE and many of you have been obsessed with MDS for years, like me, so I hope you enjoy this conversation!

I had a conversation with Jason Brown that totally blew my mind, because he thinks outside of the box and challenges his way of being & thinking every single day.

He's always challenging his own beliefs and looking at things from different perspectives. This allows him to come up with new and innovative solutions to problems, including his recent venture of launching dripdrop.gg, the mental fitness app for families.

He's not afraid to take risks, and he's always seeking out new opportunities - something he calls ‘Following The Nudges’. This willingness to try new things has led to his success in a variety of ventures.

221 Day-In-The-Life Running an Online Business | Solo Episode with Kelsey Reidl

Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of an Online Business & Marketing Coach looks like?

My role as a Business and Marketing Coach is always evolving. Each week I have new clients to onboard, new challenges to work with my clients on, and new marketing tools that I am testing out.

As such, there is no typical day in the life of a Business & Marketing Coach. However, there are a few common threads that run through the work of most coaches.

Business and marketing coaches typically work with clients one-on-one or in small groups, helping them to develop customized plans for achieving their business goals. They also often provide guidance on topics such as time management, goal setting, and effective marketing strategies.

In addition, Business & Marketing Coaches may also offer workshops and webinars on various aspects of business and marketing. As the industry continues to grow, the role of Business & Marketing Coach is to stay atop the trends so that they can share them with their clients.
