The Katie Lance Podcast

Katie Lance

Welcome to my podcast! Some of you know me as a social media strategist, speaker, author or entrepreneur, but, like so many of us, I wear multiple other hats. In this podcast, I plan to share with you more about what makes me tick, my backstory, how I think about business, parenting and so much more. Of course this wouldn't be a Katie Lance podcast if we didn't talk about social media from time to time!

    The AI Tools I Actually Pay For as a Small Business Owner

    With so many new AI tools launching every day, it can feel like everyone wants another monthly subscription. So, what is actually worth paying for? In this video, I’m sharing the AI tools I currently pay for as a small business owner and content creator – including ChatGPT, Gemini, Canva, Descript, CapCut and a few platforms that have AI features built into them. I’m also sharing how I use these tools in my business, which AI features save me the most time and why I’m not paying for every popular tool on the market. For me, AI is not about replacing my voice, my content or my creativity. It is about saving time, improving the content I am already creating and helping me work more efficiently while still showing up as myself. In this video, we’ll talk about: • Why I continue to pay for ChatGPT• How Gemini fits into our Google Workspace• The Canva AI tools I use most often• How Descript saves me hours editing videos and podcasts• Whether CapCut counts as an AI tool• The AI features included in Kajabi and Zoom• Why I am not currently paying for Claude• The difference between creating with AI and optimizing with AI• Why you should never blindly copy and paste AI-generated content• The importance of discernment when using AI for your marketing I would love to hear from you: Which AI tools are you currently paying for? Which ones are completely worth the investment – and which ones have you canceled? Also, should I finally upgrade to the paid version of Claude? Send me a DM!

    Why Most Realtors Still Aren't Using Video (And How to Start Today)

    Everyone seems to be talking about AI, automation, and the latest marketing tools—but what if you're still not comfortable recording a simple video? In this episode, I'm sharing an honest conversation about one of the biggest challenges I see among real estate professionals today: the fear of getting on camera. If you've been telling yourself you're "not a video person," this episode is for you. I share practical, encouraging advice to help you build confidence one small step at a time—including why one-to-one videos are the perfect place to start, why you don't need fancy equipment or a perfect script, and how authenticity will always outperform perfection. We'll also talk about: Why confidence comes from doing, not waitingHow to practice video without posting publiclyWhy one-to-one videos can help you build confidence quicklyMy simple approach to recording content without overthinking itHow batching videos can save you time and reduce stressWhy your clients want to connect with the real you—not a polished influencer version of youIf you've been waiting until you feel "ready" to start creating video, I hope this episode encourages you to simply hit record. Your future clients don't need perfection—they need your expertise, your heart, and your willingness to show up.

    Not Feeling Creative? Try These 3 Content Creation Hacks

    Ever sit down to create content... and just not feel like it? You're not alone! In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a recent content creation session where I had the time, the plan, and the house all to myself - but absolutely no motivation to hit record. Instead of giving up, I walked through a simple process that helped me get out of my creative rut and ultimately record multiple videos. From finding inspiration (without copying), to revisiting frequently asked questions, to digging through my camera roll for B-roll I could repurpose, these are practical strategies you can use anytime you're feeling stuck. If you've been waiting to "feel inspired" before creating content, this episode is your reminder that consistency often comes before motivation- not the other way around. In this episode, you'll learn:• What to do when you don't feel like creating content• How to find inspiration without comparing yourself to others• Why your camera roll might be your best content resource• How low-lift content can build momentum• Why creating consistently is one of the best lead generators for your business If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who could use a little encouragement today.
