CHEERS to Healthy Aging and Joyful Living, Luvvies! ******************** About Our Guest: Jordan Blair | Podcast Producer, Buzzsprout; Host, BuzzCast I’m Jordan Blair, the podcast producer at Buzzsprout and co-host of BuzzCast, where we break down what’s happening in podcasting and translate it into practical, creator-friendly advice. I’ve been podcasting for 7 years and have produced 6 podcasts, and I love helping indie creators solve the stuff that all podcasters face: inconsistent content creation, lack of listener engagement, and monetization that feels out of reach. My approach is friendly and grounded in real workflows, examples from my own personal mistakes, and strategies that work even when you don’t have a big team. I’ve spoken at Podcast Movement on monetization strategy (“Sponsorships, Subscriptions, or Support? Choose the Right Monetization Strategy for Your Podcast”), and on how indie podcasters can rival the pros through smart branding, marketing, and monetizing. I also taught PodConf’s “Pitch Your Podcast!” session on landing sponsorships without sounding salesy, including cold email tips and templates.

I Wasn't Behind - I Was Building | A Quick Conversation for Women Over 50

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1957181/fan_mail/new] Remember to give yourself lots of GRACE. In this personal episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes gets real about something many women over 50 quietly experience - feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and wondering if we're somehow falling behind. After returning from a whirlwind trip to New Orleans to celebrate a family milestone, Marqueeta found herself staring at an ever-growing to-do list and asking a familiar question: "How did I get THIS behind?" But after taking a step back, she realized something powerful. Over the past few months, she had taught herself video editing, continued producing and growing the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, worked toward launching the AGG Boutique, and continued building toward Volume 2 of Ageless Glamour Girls: Reflections on Aging. Maybe she wasn't behind. Maybe she was building. Along the way, she reflects on comparison culture, social media pressure, second and third acts, reinvention after 50, entrepreneurship, overwhelm, and learning to give ourselves a little more grace while navigating this ageless-aging journey. If you've ever felt behind, stuck, overwhelmed, or wondered if everyone else has life figured out... this episode is for you. CHEERS to Healthy Aging and Joyful Living, Luvvies!
