Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why a Food Blogger is Publishing Fewer Recipes with Kathryn Doherty
Q: If you could wave a magic wand and do away with one part of making dinner, planning, shopping, cooking, or cleanup, which would you choose?
Kathryn would remove cooking, noting that dinner-time cooking is draining and feels like a whole other job, while she enjoys the planning and strategy work that supports it.
Your Next Creator Growth Strategy Isn't On Social with Jordan Gill
Q: What's a practical way to use newsletters to drive real-world meetups or partnerships?
Ask subscribers where they're located in the welcome sequence and consider in-person meetups or city-specific events to bridge online and offline communities.
Your Next Creator Growth Strategy Isn't On Social with Jordan Gill
Q: How should creators think about list hygiene and reactivation?
Use rolling reactivation automation to periodically re-engage or purge inactive subscribers, rather than doing a one-off cleanup; this keeps the list healthy and improves deliverability.
Your Next Creator Growth Strategy Isn't On Social with Jordan Gill
Q: Why is owning your audience through email so important now?
Email is a durable channel that remains under your control, unlike social platforms that can shuffle algorithms or vanish; a consistent welcome sequence and ongoing emails help build trust and engagement.
Knowing Your 'Why' Isn't Enough with Katie Trant
Q: How does a strong brand help creators stay resilient amid AI and platform changes?
A robust brand acts as a compass, guiding decisions about where to invest time and which channels or products to pursue, enabling creators to prioritize initiatives that align with their brand and offer long-term value.
