The Walk'n'Talk Podcast

Episode 16: Summer is Coming!

Hey everyone,  Today we are actually going on a walk! We haven't done this since our 2nd episode, but today was a nice day out and we figured it was time to take it back to the roots. So we walked to the store and talk about what we are looking forward to in the summer, how growing up feels, the change in social media due to TikTok & Covid, and our thoughts on Linkedin as a "professional" social media platform. Summer officially starts on June 20th, which is next Sunday! We are excited but also dreading the extreme heat that we have to deal with here in California. Maybe we will hit up the beach sometime.  We also reflected on how we used to look forward to summer in our youth, and how that is changed now that we are adults. Then we really wanted to know if short-form content (less than 1 minute) is here to stay. The beginning of Covid marked the era of TikTok. It was already on an upward trajectory, but the lockdown accelerated its growth. Now more than ever, people were stuck at home consuming massive amounts of content, the easiest being TikToks. This also lowered the barrier to entry, which means there were more creators and consumers to enjoy the content. IS this just a moment or are micro contents here to stay? Lastly, Linkedin has completely changed our professional lives. It is a powerful  networking platform, and it also allows you to showcase your skills and services. It is like a free landing page that allows you to be found, connect with others, and establish authority. You can see us walking the streets of Porter Ranch in Sunny California, we hope you enjoy & We will see you in the next one :) Recorded on a GoPro Hero 7, and Rode Micro Go.

Episode 15: Marketing vs Sales - Is it really a difference of Introvert vs Extrovert?

Hey everyone, thanks for checking out this week's episode of the Walk'n'talk podcast. Today we just talk a bit about the differences between marketing and sales. Marketing is how we deliver our brand message to the world, Sales is how we convert potential customers into paying clients. These two worlds are so different, yet so similar. Their end goals are about growing the business, but how they achieve that goal is vastly different. We also dive into whether this difference could be chalked up to whether it is an introvert's specialty or an extrovert's specialty. The stereotypical notion of a salesperson is pushy, masculine, & social - More extroverted. However, Marketing could also be an extrovert's game, since it is about social skills and persuading people through emotional means. But with marketing, there is more deliberation and behind the scenes work that goes on before any action is taken. So this would imply it to be more of an introvert's game. So this is the dichotomous nature of the two, and we just share our thoughts and experiences on the subject. This was inspiried by a Tim Conley Youtube video where he described himself as an introvert, but we never saw him that way. In any case, I hope you enjoy this episode and if you would like to hit us up our email is: TheWalkNTalkPodcast@gmail.com Recorded on a Canon Rebel SL2 / Rode Wireless Mic GO

Episode 14: Our Experience Running A Digital Marketing Agency (SO FAR)!!

What can you learn from our experience as a digital marketing agency in 2021. This business started in January and we have grown it to a profitable business that allows us to be content creators! We get paid to be creative, it is honestly the best feeling ever. However, it comes with it's challenges, which we go through in detail in this podcast. However, do not let the hard times stop you from starting! When we started we only had our iPhones and a Gimbal. That was enough to land our first client, and once we were able to show our value we gained more clients. This allowed us to net $10k in our first Quarter. This is not a lot of money between us but it surely is inspiring and goes to show that getting started is the hardest part.  Now we have some fancy equipment that allows us to create even better content. So hopefully we can teach you about our mindset, what has happened this past 6 months and what you can do to hopefully get started in your entrepreneurial journey. Enjoy :) Recorded and Filmed on a Canon Rebel EOS SL2 + Rode Video Lav Mics

Episode 13: Why Mistakes Are Important For Growth

Hey everyone, Thanks for tuning in to another episode! Today we go over why paying attention to your mistakes, is a much more valuable way to grow than focusing on what you did well. Mistakes are tough to look at, it makes us feel bad and can be discouraging. But that's not what they are there for. Mistakes exist so that you can learn from them! Do you think a chess master learns from the games he wins? Maybe, but not as much as the games he loses. Because it is the mistakes that highlight weaknesses that need to be addressed. So take that into consideration! Don't be fearful, instead face your mistakes head-on and grow from them! Thank you guys & see you in the next episode.

Episode 12: Quarter 1 Progress Report & Perservering

Hey everyone, On this week's episode we go into perservering, and how sticking with something, even when it is hard can be the most rewarding action you can take. It's already the end of Quarter 1 of 2021, and what steps have you taken towards your goals since the beginning of the year? We always strive for certain goals but many people fail to perservere. It's about taking things one day at a time, and making consistent progress, rather than over exerting effort and stopping early. We also take a deep dive into how we have progressed thus far this year. We started our digital marketting agency in January, and now have a few clients under our belt! There is a ton of room for progress, but I am so happy with what we have accomplished, so we share on that journey as well. Thank you so much for your continued support and we hope you have a wonderful day! Recorded on an iPhone 12 Pro Max & iPhone 11.
