  • It was an absolute pleasure...

    It was a real pleasure to join Matt on the Homegrown CEO Podcast to talk about all things pricing, this is one of the most professional (but fun), well organised (but easy going) podcasts I've ever had the pleasure of being invited onto. Thank you to Matt and Liv for making me feel so welcome.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Creativity Beyond Artistry: Unlocking Entrepreneurial Innovation with Susie deVille
Q: Can you share a story of someone who benefited from including creative expression into their daily life?
A mid-life design company owner who resisted artistic exercises began with small, five-minute practices and gradually reconnected with her core audience, leading to awards, higher-end clients, and a more magnetic business.
Good Content Is Not Enough: What Actually Gets Your Business Seen Online with Alessandra di Lorenzo
Q: What are three takeaways for leaders from this conversation?
First, adapt to a web where AI and persuasive systems redefine how people consume content. Second, recognize that the web is not neutral and plan accordingly by building direct relationships and strong brands. Third, remember there is value outside digital channels—engage with real communities and experiences to validate and grow your business.
Good Content Is Not Enough: What Actually Gets Your Business Seen Online with Alessandra di Lorenzo
Q: What should a small business do first to start improving visibility and results?
Focus on offline engagement and a strong product, then bring customers to you. Build local relationships, ensure product quality, and use early engagement signals online (like meaningful comments) to help ranking systems pick up your content, while maintaining transparency about any AI tools used.
Good Content Is Not Enough: What Actually Gets Your Business Seen Online with Alessandra di Lorenzo
Q: What are the core moving parts of the internet's persuasive systems and how do they work together?
Alessandra explains that there are four components—algorithms, auctions, analysis, and AI—that drive ranking, content selection, and personalization. These elements together form the big gatekeeper, shaping what gets seen and how content is monetized, so brands need to understand and work within this framework rather than fighting it directly.
Read the Room: Emotional Intelligence Strategies for Business Leaders with Faris Aranki
Q: Can you share a quick exercise to build empathy in conversations?
Treat colleagues like your best friend, adjust tone and approach accordingly, and use short, structured questions to understand what matters to them before offering solutions.
