My guest for today, Daphne Gray-Grant is talking about neuroscience and how this fascinating thing can make you a better writer!
Daphne Gray-Grant grew up in the newspaper business: her parents owned a struggling weekly where she worked from the age of 16, even while completing an honors degree in Political Science at the University of B.C. Eventually, she left the family business to become a senior editor at a major metropolitan daily — The Vancouver Sun — where she worked for 10 years.
After the birth of her triplet children in 1994, she became a communications consultant, and writing and editing coach. She is the author of two books: 8 1/2 Steps to Writing Faster, Better and Your Happy First Draft. She has been blogging since 2006 and hosting a YouTube channel since 2017. She strongly believes that the main reason many people can’t write — and can’t write quickly — is because the school system hasn’t given them the simple tools to do it. Her popular and free weekly newsletter, Power Writing, goes to thousands of readers around the world every Tuesday morning.
Key points in this episode:
Daphne shares her tips on how to set up writing habitsHow she is able to post 5 blog posts per week despite her busy weekWhat is neuroscience and how it can help you become a better writer?What is a mind-mapping technique and how can we apply it when writing?How our brain operatesDoes multitasking really work?Some apps that we can use when writingFollow Daphne on socials!

I am so thrilled to have my business coach, Brandi Mowles, in this episode of The Savvy Scribe Podcast to share her tips for leveraging a business and the four principles every service-based should follow in scaling with simplicity!
About the Guest
Brandi Mowles is my business coach, a marketing expert, and the host of the Serve, Scale, Soar podcast. She started out as a freelancer and a podcast ads manager. She made around $6000 a month for about four months into her business. However, she got so burned out from hustling, trying to juggle being a wife, a mom, and now a business owner. That made her realize that she needs to change that style but then wanted to hit bigger revenue goals. She then started to run Pinterest ads, and later turn to Facebook and Instagram ads.
In January 209, she started to market herself as an ads manager and grew her business to six figures during her first ten months. From a membership group of 25 people, she has now helped over 1500 entrepreneurs, service-based entrepreneurs, scale their businesses.
Key points in this episode:
How to start your business when you don’t really know what you’re doing.The right mindset in creating a goal and sticking to itHow Brandi started the Serve, Scale, Soar and her goal for creating itIdentifying your niche and how it worksHow to implement systemsBrandi also shares 3 top books that every entrepreneur should readShe also shares the four principles that work when you’re talking about a one-on-one service-based business
