Filled with gems!

I love Jenn’s podcast, it is fantastic to hear from a marketing expert who provides such open and honest insights. Jenn keeps it simple and easy so marketing seems less scary for the small business owner. Great to hear her perspective as a regional business owner too.

Simple steps but so effective

As a marketing professional myself, I can guarantee the information, tips and insights that Jenn shares are practical, and easy to implement.
This podcast is one of my favourites and I have shared this with hundreds of small business owners over the years.
Brilliant Jenn.

K1or2 ,

Episode 166 - and now I think we all love you just a little bit more

Hey Jen - thanks for your honesty in sharing mistakes and more importantly your lessons - I appreciated how owning them also gave you agency to take action. (Ps don’t hang on to the messages if you only pull them out to whack yourself with). Looking forward to sharing 2022 with you K
