Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Turn AI Into Your Best Referral Source with Vivienne Wagner
Q: So what led you to focus on helping business owners become more visible and easier to find online?
Vivienne explains that the pivot came from an organic, accidental demand as she helped her own blog gain visibility, which evolved into a broader service helping others be found online by clarifying messaging and optimizing the data AI reads.
Why Your Google Ads Keep Underperforming with Jeff Coleman
Q: What concrete steps can a advertiser take to teach Google which leads are valuable?
Use goal-driven conversions (e.g., phone calls with appropriate duration thresholds) and refine signals so Google focuses on the right audience. Additionally, separate conversions for different intents (like on-site training vs. general inquiries) to prevent skewing the data and improve quality of leads over time.
Why Your Google Ads Keep Underperforming with Jeff Coleman
Q: So where do you feel we should actually begin?
Start with the ideal customer profile (ICP) before diving into keyword research, since understanding who you're targeting becomes more important as clicks become costlier. Then layer in what makes the business truly different and align landing pages to that ICP to improve conversion.
How to Build Trust on LinkedIn with Kaila Vander Horn
Q: What practical steps should listeners take this week to strengthen their LinkedIn presence?
Post something authentic and helpful—start small, be consistent with 1-2 posts per week plus one long-form piece, and focus on content that reflects customer pain points and your experience to begin building a recognizable voice.
How to Build Trust on LinkedIn with Kaila Vander Horn
Q: What is the core idea of thought leadership on LinkedIn, and how can small businesses apply it without sounding inauthentic?
Thought leadership is about sharing real expertise and experiences to educate others, not pretending to be flawless; mix informative, practical content with human stories and client-facing insights to build trust and community.
