    Trae Bodge's Lessons on Exiting, Passion, and Carving Your Path

    Trae Bodge is a successful lifestyle writer and TV commentator who made the brave leap from beauty brand founder to creating her own unique space in retail and shopping expertise. I loved discussing our shared experiences of separating our identities from our corporate personas. After Trae left RetailMeNot, she discovered that her value wasn't tied to a corporate email address or brand name, but rather to their skills, relationships, and reliability. One of my favorite moments was discussing those inevitable TV mishaps, like when Steve Harvey and Rachael Ray mispronounced Trae’s name on air. But what really resonated was Trae’s advice about finding "white space" - not just following your passion, but identifying what people actually need and where there's room in the market. Her journey from beauty entrepreneur to becoming one of the go-to shopping experts for major networks is a testament to the power of reinvention and staying true to your expertise. And now, she's launching a foundation to help other midlife entrepreneurs, which perfectly exemplifies how success can come full circle into giving back. You will learn: How to network even when it’s frustrating - 3:14 How to become self made through innovation - 11:12 How to overcome a layoff - 14:20 How to gain confidence as a freelancer - 21:08 LINKS: FREE DOWNLOAD: 10 Tips to Make Better Video In Less Time (To Grow Your Revenue) click here  Follow host Kim Rittberg on Instagram & Subscribe to Kim's YouTube Channel to Make Better Videos that Convert LINKS: Trae’s Instagram Trae’s Website Please spread the word to your friends and leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts!

    What Hamilton Has to Do With Your Content & Thought Leadership

    I saw Hamilton on Broadway with my daughter - the day after I gave a keynote speech at Inman Connect NYC. I had a huge aha moment for you that I wanted to share. The song “The Room Where It Happens” was stuck in my head (amazing ear worm!), and it’s about the closed-door meetings where political deals get made. But more relevant is that I sat in the speaker Green Room at my keynote. I looked around and thought “I am in the room where it happens.” I am next to CEOs and titans of industry. How did I get here? It’s not luck or happenstance. By using my voice. By putting content out there. By not second-guessing and overthinking. No one can hear you if you’re not talking. In this 5 minute episode you’ll learn: What Hamilton has to do with your marketing What to do to start putting your voice out there What to stop telling yourself so you can be seen as a thought leader EVERY FRIDAY 5-MINUTE MASTER CLASSES IN MARKETING Every Friday I drop a very short (less than 5 minute) video marketing tip to help you level up your business while sipping your coffee!
