Trust as the Core of Marketing Conversion show art Trust as the Core of Marketing Conversion

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

Visibility might get you noticed, but trust is what gets people to move. It’s the difference between someone casually seeing your content and someone feeling confident enough to work with you. In marketing, we often talk about reach, growth, and conversion as if sales are the only thing that matters. But conversion starts much earlier than a purchase. It starts the moment someone begins to believe you, feel understood, and feel safe taking the next step.  In this episode, we’re unpacking how trust is built, how it shows up in everyday marketing behaviour, and why it’s the real...

Vanity Metrics vs Impact Metrics show art Vanity Metrics vs Impact Metrics

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

It’s easy to get distracted by big numbers in marketing. Likes, views, follower counts and viral moments can look impressive, but they don’t always tell the full story. What really matters is whether your marketing is creating connection, momentum, action, and making an impact for your business. In this episode, I unpack the difference between vanity metrics and impact metrics, and why shifting your focus can completely change how effective your marketing feels and performs. This is about moving away from surface-level wins and towards results that actually support your business growth....

Maximising Impact Through Content Repurposing show art Maximising Impact Through Content Repurposing

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

There’s a quiet pressure many business owners carry when it comes to content, the feeling that you need to be everywhere, all the time, creating something new for every platform.  It’s exhausting, unrealistic, and completely unnecessary. You don’t need to split yourself across seven platforms or reinvent the wheel every week. You need a smart, sustainable way to let your ideas travel further. That’s where content repurposing comes in.  In this episode, I’m unpacking how repurposing helps you show up consistently, build visibility, and keep your marketing human without...

The “What Do You Do” Question and How to Answer It show art The “What Do You Do” Question and How to Answer It

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

It’s amazing how four simple words can throw even the most experienced business owner completely off track. So what do you do? You hear it at networking events, school pick-up, family gatherings, conferences, everywhere, and yet, so many of us freeze, over-explain, or fall back on something vague and forgettable. But this question isn’t a test. It’s an invitation. And when you answer it clearly, simply, and confidently, you open the door to opportunities, referrals, and meaningful conversations. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to create a simple yet impactful answer that...

Why You Should Be Sharing Your Ideas show art Why You Should Be Sharing Your Ideas

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

Many business owners sit on brilliant ideas for months, even years, because they’re afraid to share them too soon. They worry someone will copy them, they’re not ready, or they need to wait for the “perfect version” to emerge. But here’s the truth I’ve seen again and again as a marketing strategist and business community leader: your ideas can’t create impact if no one knows they exist. Ideas only grow when they’re shared, explored, and allowed to take shape out in the world. Today, I’m diving into why your ideas deserve daylight and what shifts when you stop guarding them...

Creating Idea-Rich Communities show art Creating Idea-Rich Communities

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

There’s a big difference between a group and a community, and an even bigger difference between a community and one that’s idea rich. These are the spaces where people feel energised, where ideas bounce around freely, and where members genuinely want to return because something meaningful happens there. Idea-rich communities don’t grow accidentally. They’re shaped with intention by those that create them, guided with care, and fuelled by curiosity, generosity, and shared purpose.  In this episode, I’m walking you through how to build communities that think, create, and...

How to Be a Thought Leader Without the Fluff show art How to Be a Thought Leader Without the Fluff

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

“Thought leadership” is one of those terms that’s been used so much it has lost its meaning. Somewhere along the line, it became more about status than service, more about sounding smart than being helpful. Real thought leadership isn’t about jargon or performance. It’s about clarity, courage, and contribution: saying what you mean and helping people. It’s about being brave enough to think for yourself, generous enough to share what you’ve learned, and grounded enough to stay human through it all. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what genuine thought leadership...

Spotting Trends Before They Become the Norm show art Spotting Trends Before They Become the Norm

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

Some business owners have a knack for spotting trends before everyone else catches on. And it’s not luck, but a skill. The ability to see what’s shifting in your industry, what people are craving, and what’s quietly changing before it becomes mainstream can completely change how you position yourself and your business. But here’s the truth: trend-spotting isn’t about chasing every new thing. It’s about listening differently, paying attention to frustration, and being curious enough to notice the patterns that others overlook.  In this episode, I’m sharing how to develop that...

Creating Unique Offers in a Saturated Market show art Creating Unique Offers in a Saturated Market

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

If you’ve ever looked around your industry and thought, “Everyone’s offering the same thing,” you’re not imagining it. Every market has noise, and standing out isn’t about shouting louder. It’s about showing up differently. Being unique doesn’t always mean inventing something brand new. Often, it’s about reimagining what already exists and delivering it in a way that feels distinctly you.  In this episode, I’m sharing how to uncover the magic within your existing offers and turn it into something people remember, connect with, and keep coming back for. How to Stand Out...

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

When you create for a living, inspiration can sometimes feel like a moving target. Whether it’s for podcasts, courses, or client projects, there’s this quiet pressure to keep showing up with fresh ideas. But inspiration isn’t magic; it’s consistency. It’s something you can nurture, protect, and make space for. In this episode, I’m sharing how I stay inspired across everything I do as a creator, an educator, and a strategist, and how you can create your own systems for creative flow that actually last. How I Keep Creativity Flowing Start with Curiosity For me, inspiration begins...
