Confident Live Marketing Show

Today I’ve got a few announcements and a bit of housekeeping. Stick around for the details! Thank You for Subscribing! If you're listening to this, you’re likely subscribed to the podcast, so thank you! I’m not publishing this episode on the blog or announcing it anywhere else, so I truly appreciate your support. It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been doing this podcast for over five years now! The first episode launched in May 2019, and since then, we’ve surpassed 225 episodes, including some bonus ones. Recent Focus: Studio Setups For the past six months, we've been diving into the studio setups of top creators, entrepreneurs, and business owners. I hope you’ve enjoyed the peek behind the curtain! It’s always fun to see what others are doing and get inspired for your own setup. What’s Next? A New Season on Confidence & Communication Now, it’s time for a new season! I’ve already recorded 13 episodes, and we’ll be focusing on confidence and communication. Each episode will feature a special guest, and we’ll explore how to communicate effectively and build confidence in front of the camera. If you want to improve your on-camera presence, this is the season for you! Big Changes Ahead for the Podcast After this season, the Confident Live Marketing Podcast as we know it may be coming to an end—or at least undergoing some big changes. I’ve shared so much about live video, confidence, tech, and marketing over the past five years, and it feels like the right time to evolve. There could be a name change, or it might even be an entirely new podcast. I’d love to hear from you! What would you like to hear next? What topics are you interested in? Are you sad to see this podcast change or potentially end? Let me know by emailing me at ian@iag.me or messaging me on social media. Your feedback is really important to me as I plan the future. New Podcast: Smart ADHD Podcast Earlier this year, I launched a new podcast, the Smart ADHD Podcast. It's completely different from Confident Live Marketing and focuses on ADHD, a topic I’m really passionate about. It’s been exciting to see how popular it has become, with double the number of downloads compared to this show! I’ll be attending the International ADHD Conference in Anaheim, California this November, so look out for updates from that. What About Tech & AI? In addition to confidence and communication, I’m also fascinated by tech and AI in the business and marketing world—and how these tools impact us personally. I’ll be exploring these topics more in the future, so stay tuned! Final Thoughts Over the next few episodes, we’ll be diving deep into confidence, communication, and overcoming challenges like comparison and imposter syndrome. My background as a professional singer has shaped my passion for helping others communicate effectively, and I’m excited to continue sharing that with you. Thank you so much for listening, and if you want to watch the video versions of these episodes, head over to iag.me/podcast. Until next time, level up your impact, authority, and profits through the power of confident live video.

It's June, and it’s conference season! Next week, I am attending Atomicon in Newcastle. I’m also recording many more episodes for my two podcasts. But I am pausing both podcasts this month, but I will return in July with fresh episodes on studio behind the scenes and then the next season, which is on confidence and communication. When I launched the Confident Live Marketing Podcast back in May 2019, I never missed an episode each week for over 3 years. But consistency for consistency’s sake is not a good strategy. Taking breaks is crucial for maintaining energy, quality content, and avoiding burnout. —---------------------------- 🎤 About the Confident Live Marketing Podcast The Confident Live Marketing Podcast is aimed at established entrepreneurs who want to level up their impact, authority, and profits through the power of live video, webinars, and podcasts.
