Show Transcript

This week there was no guest for the weekly podcast, but that sort of worked out great. I have decided to change the name of this podcast and I dive into the WHY I changed it, along with some new features of the podcast. This is a good listen, in my humble opinion.

Why I’m changing the name

Better represents what I wanted this podcast to be. Fresh morning talk, more than just “business”.

In addition, supports the ability to have more than just the weekly interview. I’ll also host my mini-coaching sessions here and any speaking assignments. Perhaps some topical episodes as well, with interest.

If you don’t already, subscribe on iTunes or your favorite podcast app. Just search for “The Morning Impact”, it’s updated across all platforms now

Video production has been equaling my website production now. I’ve started to produce mini social video ads for clients where I do this in under one hour. You may have seen an ad on social media for this as well. It’s kind of META!.

I’m focusing my business on three main pillars:

Website Design Multi-media content creation DIY Coaching

I’ve started to gain SOME traction producing content on YouTube

Search “Brad Poirier” - I have a goal to reach 100 measily subscribers by 12/31. I’m at 65 now. Which is up from about 15 only a couple months ago.
