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...

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...

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

When we think of innovators, we often picture the big names: the ones who build rockets, create tech empires, or disrupt entire industries. But innovation isn’t limited to billion-dollar ideas or global platforms. True innovation happens in the everyday. When you see things differently, experiment with new approaches, and turn challenges into opportunities. It’s about bringing fresh thinking into familiar spaces and consistently showing up with ideas that move things forward. The good news? You don’t have to be loud or flashy to be seen as an innovator. You just have to be intentional,...

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

When most people hear the word creative, they picture designers, artists, or the ones with colour palettes, clever fonts, and mood boards. But creativity in business goes far beyond visuals. It’s about how we approach challenges, how we spot opportunities, and how we keep our business evolving. Creativity is a skill every business owner can build. And when you strengthen it, you unlock new ways to solve problems, connect with customers, and stay ahead of change. In this episode, we’ll explore how creative thinking shows up in everyday business and how you can start flexing your own...

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

Have you ever had one of those lightbulb moments sparked by something completely unrelated to your field? Maybe a café’s reward system gave you an idea for keeping clients engaged, or a podcast on a totally different topic triggered a clever improvement in your business.

How I Come Up With Content Ideas show art How I Come Up With Content Ideas

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

If I had 5 cents for every time someone asked me how I come up with content ideas, I'd have an income stream all of its own. The truth is, the most powerful content isn't created by sitting at your desk trying to produce something perfect. It comes from being curious about what's already happening in your business and in your customers' lives each day.

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

Business doesn’t come with a rulebook, but oh, how I wish it did sometimes. In this episode, I’m opening up and sharing four lessons I really wish I’d learned earlier in my business journey. These aren’t the glossy textbook tips. These are the kind that come with late nights, tough calls, and a lot of hindsight.

Talk with Linda Reed-Enever

If you’re someone with more ideas than hours in the day, who doesn’t quite fit into one tidy box, then you’ll feel right at home in this episode. I’m pulling back the curtain on what it’s really like to be a multi-passionate entrepreneur, why it’s both a blessing and a challenge, and how I’ve learned to manage the mess and magic of it all.

We all want visibility, credibility, engagement, and, of course, conversions. But in a world full of tools, trends and algorithms, one of the most powerful strategies remains wonderfully human: community. In this episode of Talk, I’m diving into how building and engaging with communities can create real momentum in your marketing. This isn’t just about followers or email lists, it’s about genuine connection. I’m sharing actionable strategies, real-world examples, and practical tips to help you bring the power of community into your business growth game. Why Community is More Than Just a Buzzword Community isn’t just a side-note to your marketing, it is marketing. It builds trust, fuels word of mouth, creates consistent engagement, and delivers long-term organic growth that can’t be taken away by algorithm changes. When your audience connects not just to you, but to each other, that’s when the magic happens. Marketing through community is human-first, values-led, and rooted in real relationships. And that kind of connection? It sells. Strategic Ways to Build Community Into Your Marketing Let’s get practical! Here are just some of the ideas I unpack in this episode: Human Connection is the Long Game (and It Pays Off) Community is your long-term marketing asset. It grows with you, supports your content, and reminds your audience that there’s a real human behind the brand. In a noisy world of automation and sales funnels, it’s the human touch that cuts through. You don’t have to do it all at once, and you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re building your own community or contributing to others, what matters is showing up with authenticity and value. Ready to Build or Tap Into Community Marketing?
