No Grey Suits Podcast

Anastasia Geneave

No Grey Suits is a podcast for small business owners who want to show up, be seen, and grow without squeezing themselves into a shiny, corporate, or “perfect” version of success. Hosted by Anastasia, each episode blends practical marketing and content advice with honest conversations about confidence, visibility, business growth, and the messy middle of running a small business. Some episodes are tactical. Some are reflective. Some are just the conversations we should be having but rarely do. If you want marketing that feels human, content that actually sounds like you, and permission to do business your way – you’re in the right place.

    The Internet Is Full. Connection Is Empty.

    People keep saying “add more value” on social media.And most business owners hear that as:Post more tips. Teach more. Create more educational content.But value doesn’t (always) look like that anymore.In this episode of No Grey Suits, I unpack how value has shifted from education to connection, why we’re all a bit course-ed out, and what audiences are actually craving in a world full of AI, automation, and overly polished content.We talk about: Why tips alone aren’t building trust anymoreWhat people really mean when they say they want “value”How inspiration, relatability, and community now outperform educationWhy imperfect, human content is beating pretty Canva graphicsHow to start showing up without oversharing or making a fool of yourselfSimple ways to build connection on social media without a full production setupI also touch on the bigger shifts happening across platforms, including Instagram’s renewed focus on social connection, and why even industry giants like Amy Porterfield stepping back from flagship courses is a massive signal that the landscape has changed.If you’ve been feeling stuck, invisible, or like your “helpful” content isn’t landing anymore, this episode will help you reframe what matters now.Less perfect.More human.Way more effective.CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction to Social Media Value01:21 The Shift in Online Value01:53 The Decline of Online Courses03:12 Building Community on Social Media04:45 Authenticity Over Perfection09:29 Practical Tips for Real Connection12:01 Conclusion and Encouragement What is Uncanny Valley? https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-the-uncanny-valley-4846247 Adam Mosseri: https://www.instagram.com/p/DExLMjZzfdv/?hl=en Amy Porterfields Announcement: https://youtu.be/9jKMqaqgbRI?si=OxLrMIDj9j7pV3FF...and lastly, where to find more about me! 🦖 Website: nogreysuits.com.au🦩 Facebook: facebook.com/nogreysuits🐧 Instagram: instagram.com/no.grey.suits/❤️💛🖤I would like to acknowledge the Dharug people, the Traditional custodians of the lands on which I live and work today.I pay my respects to elders past, present and future for they hold the memories, traditions, culture and hope of Aboriginal Australians.

    Am I Hot Enough to Show Up Online? Beauty, Social Media & Business

    In this first episode of the new No Grey Suits season, I’m talking about the thing we all think about but rarely say out loud: beauty, visibility, and whether you need to be conventionally attractive to show up online for your business. Do you ever stop yourself from posting because you don’t look good enough today? Maybe after the next haircut. Maybe once you lose five kilos. Maybe on a better lighting day. Maybe… maybe… maybe… never. In this first episode of the new No Grey Suits season, I’m talking about the thing we all think about but rarely say out loud: beauty, visibility, and whether you need to be conventionally attractive to show up online for your business. Yes, humans are naturally drawn to beauty. That’s biology. Yes, some people have it easier on camera. But attention is not the same thing as trust. In this episode, I unpack: • why “just show up” advice often misses the mark • how perfection keeps capable business owners quiet • why relatability beats polish every time • and how showing up as yourself builds trust with the right people This conversation is for small business owners who are tired, passionate, capable, and done waiting for permission to take up space. You are allowed to show up.Even now.Especially now. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:1️⃣ Beauty Might Stop the Scroll, But Relatability Builds Trust People may pause for aesthetics, but they stay for connection. The content that converts isn’t perfect, it’s human. 2️⃣ Perfection Creates Distance, Not Credibility Over-polished content can unintentionally intimidate your audience. When people can’t see themselves in you, trust breaks down. 3️⃣ You Don’t Need to Earn the Right to Be Visible Waiting until you look “better” only delays connection. Your audience doesn’t need flawless. They need real. SUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
