    Why Do We Put Up With Less as We Get Older?

    Bad service, wasted time, doing things just to be polite... there are things we used to shrug off that we simply don't want to put up with anymore. In this episode of The Flip with KC & V, we get into what we tolerate less as we get older, whether "I don't want to" is finally a good enough reason to say no, and why some things are much harder to let go of than they used to be. Then we flip it: have our standards really gone up, or has our patience gone down? And what if we're the difficult ones now? KC and V have been friends long enough to disagree, call each other out, and occasionally realize they were looking at the same thing completely differently. Meet KC Kenneth Miller is a restaurateur and restaurant consultant with more than ten years of experience. He founded a semi-industrial bakery and sold his share after three years, then moved into college counseling, first in his mother's business and now independently. Outside of work, KC loves travel, great food and wine, time with friends and, above all, his two children.

    Before You Ask for More Referrals, Do This

    I recommend people all the time. And I've noticed something strange: plenty of those recommendations never turn into a conversation. That doesn't necessarily mean the referral failed. The person may have asked three other people, already had someone in mind, or started comparing everyone they were given. And that's where this gets interesting. Research from Hinge found that more than half of professional-services buyers had ruled out someone who was referred to them before ever speaking with them. Which raises a much better question than "How do I get more referrals?" What happens after someone recommends you? In this episode of Branding Momentum, I look at the part of referral marketing you can't see, what a potential client finds after hearing your name, what they're comparing it against, and the simple test I'd do before trying to get more people to recommend you. 📍 I'm Veronica Di Polo, marketing consultant based in Moraira, Spain.

    Introducing The Flip with KC & V, a new monthly series inside Branding Momentum. Why do some friendships just work?

    A New Chapter for Branding Momentum

    Branding Momentum is back. But I'm not interested in returning with exactly the same podcast I left behind. This summer a few things happened that I wasn't expecting. One of them took me back to Venezuela in a way I didn't plan and ended up creating some of the most interesting content I've made in a while. If you want the full story, I documented it on YouTube: Watch my Venezuela story on YouTube But the reason it matters here is what it reminded me about the difference between strategic content and content that just needs to exist. There's also someone new coming to the podcast. Kenneth Miller, or KC depending on which version of him you know, has been one of my closest friends since I was 16. We talk about business, but also food, travel, relationships, friendships, culture, and the things happening in the world that make absolutely no sense to either of us. Some of those conversations belong here. The first one is about friendship. Specifically, why some friendships actually work. And considering we've managed to stay friends for this long, I think we have some evidence. Branding Momentum isn't changing into something else. The marketing, messaging, and service business conversations are still here. But I'm giving it a little more room this season. If you've been here for years, you'll still recognize the show. If this is your first episode, you've arrived at a good time. 📍 I'm Veronica Di Polo, marketing consultant based in Moraira, Spain. I help service-based businesses communicate in a way that makes them easier to choose. _______________________ If your leads only show up when things feel urgent, start here: Start here  🎧 Enjoyed the episode?

    Before September, Do This

    This is my last episode before I take a break for the summer—and every year when I say that, people assume I'm switching off for a few weeks, I'm not. When I stop the podcast it doesn't mean I stop working—some of my most important work happens when things get a little quieter, not client work, not meetings, the kind of work where you finally have enough space to decide things. August has a funny way of exposing what you've been avoiding all year—not because you're suddenly smarter, not because you found the perfect strategy, but because the noise drops just enough that you can't pretend you haven't noticed it anymore. In this episode I'm leaving you with five questions before I go quiet—not a to-do list, not a homework assignment, just a mental check for the weeks ahead so the version of you that comes back in September already has a few things decided, because that version is in a completely different position than the one who comes back and has to figure it all out while everything is already moving again. What are you done tolerating—the client relationship that's gone slightly toxic, the service you've been doing that doesn't feel right anymore? What are you finally starting—the one thing you've been talking about all year but haven't had the space to actually do? What's been annoying you for months—the website, the proposal template, the onboarding email that needs fixing before it bites you in September? What decision needs an answer—hire someone, let someone go, take the project, don't take the project? What are you leaving behind—what are you not carrying with you into the next season? You don't need answers to all five—just notice which one makes you flinch, because that's usually the one that matters most. I'll see you in September. 📍 I'm Veronica Di Polo, marketing consultant based in Moraira, Spain. I help service-based businesses communicate in a way that makes them easier to choose.
