    Building Customer Relationships with Content + Art

    I cover my approach and philosophy for using Content and Art to build Customer Relationships, and what this means for any business. I don’t touch on it in this episode, but when it comes to high-end services, it can take time to build trust. Despite what many service providers say about the difficulty of low-budget clients, the way to navigate them is with the utmost clarity, boundaries and teachable communication. That’s part of why I created my new service QuikLAIN Team Story Sprint for Maryland-based Small Businesses. The outreach is just easier and ultimately, what I’m offering is all the time: building relationships through Immersive Storytelling (I moved away from Imaginative since that requires more context and social proof to sell).

    Liberating Fintech Marketing from Drab with Imagination + Genuine Emotion

    In this outdoorsy episode, I get into the value of bringing emotion into marketing Fintech Brands and how creating a sense of wonder can engage your target audience. After I recorded this, I posted in the r/fintech on Reddit to get others’ thoughts on what isn’t working when it comes to content in this industry. So check out the prior link for the responses. Playing in the realm of imagination and, most importantly, centering the experiences of customers, regulators and investors creates resonance that helps Fintechs become unforgettable and trustworthy.

    Choosing Commerce over Capitalism in my Digital Entrepreneurship

    I attempt to resolve the inner turmoil folk perpetuate when it comes to money and making a lot of it with their businesses. This taps into some deeper ideaologies that can impede one’s own development and success. What I got to say may make you feel some type of way. Good. That’s inner work for you to do. Because Money and Power aren’t inherently evil, nor do they corrupt people. Everything we experience outside of ourselves is a reflection of what’s within. Have a listen, then let me know your thoughts. I reference this episode of artsy Biz + Chill about the squeamish vibes Artists have about Money. And if you want to tap into my Fintech Episode, listen here.
