Fun fact: I connected with my guest today on Instagram as my family and I were planning our first garden! Nicole Burke is the visionary behind Gardenary, a brand that inspires people to grow at least a little bit of their own food using accessible gardening methods, creative tips and tricks, and a unique aesthetic. And although this is definitely a zone of genius of hers, Nicole is more than a gardener! Recently, she has expanded her influence with her personal brand, HeyNicoleBurke!, where she teaches entrepreneurs how to grow their businesses on Instagram using a distinctive social strategy focused on short 5-second videos. In this conversation, we're diving into the key strategies Nicole used to quadruple Gardenary’s Instagram audience in just 15 months and how she managed to quadruple shop sales in the same period. We’ll uncover the secrets behind Gardenary Inc’s record revenue growth, achieved without any ads and solely through short-form video content. Nicole also shares insights into creating engaging content, avoiding common social media pitfalls, and balancing her various roles as an entrepreneur, author, and influencer.

One of the things I love most about our community is how we always keep it real about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship… and Vanessa Lau embodies this spirit in such a profound way.  Vanessa Lau is a creator and entrepreneur on a mission to inspire business owners and creators to lead more authentic and fulfilling lives. Last year, she took a step back to reset, and in doing so, she redefined what success means to her. Vanessa's story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take a break. In this episode, Vanessa and I are chatting about the common traps in business and how these led to her dissolving her business for a year and how to follow your intuition if you find yourself in need of a break. She also shares key lessons she learned about her health, relationships, and most importantly herself when she stripped her business away from her identity, and the changes she’s made in her business this time around to avoid making the same mistakes that led to her burnout! This conversation is about to leave you feeling inspired and empowered to protect your peace… no matter what it takes. I can’t wait for you to hear Vanessa’s insights about redefining success so click play now!

Calling all brick-and mortar business owners! If you want to get more eyes on your business and more people IN your location, this coaching session has your name written all over it!  As a young girl, Heather Davis had always loved baking sweet treats, and although she initially took a traditional career path to become a teacher, she continued to develop her craft as a baker. Though Heather would often bring her fresh baked goods to her school just for the love of baking, her fellow teachers started placing orders, and encouraged her to sell them! So in 2011 she made the life-changing decision to launch a bakery, Chic Sweets Fine Desserts. Since 2014, Chic Sweets Bakery has partnered with the finest coffee shops and cafes including Nordstrom Department Stores, Saks Fifth Avenue, Rice University and Aramark Corporation. A little over a year ago, Heather opened her first brick-and-mortar location in a suburb north of Houston, Texas, and that’s exactly what we’re talking about today! Although I’ve never owned a brick-and-mortar myself, I have a LOT of tricks up my sleeve for Heather to get more organic and paid customers, and I just know you’ll benefit from them, too.

Isn’t it funny how things can change in a year? This time last August, we were driving to the beach with our kids and we drove past the Duluth Rowing Club. Fast forward to this summer, and every single week I spend time in a boat with 8 other women of all ages and experience levels. If I’ve learned anything about being a beginner, you learn by doing, not watching!  That was also my motto when my mom and I took a sourdough class earlier this year, when Drew and I decided to become beekeepers, and when my girls and I tried our hands at starting our very first garden. I have so much to learn in all of these new hobbies, and honestly, it feels so good to be so curious!  Of course, those little imposter feelings can hit deep…. And then I remember I’m not an imposter, I’m simply a human brave enough to be a beginner. So today, I want to walk you through the lessons I’m learning while I find myself being a beginner again, and most importantly how you can invite more joy, curiosity, and NEWness into your life, too. Cheers to never being too old for learning something new! Let’s dive into the beginner’s playbook!

Welcome to the 800th episode of The Goal Digger Podcast! Over nearly 8 years, I have interviewed hundreds of business owners in all different industries, taught you countless business strategies, and opened my heart to you during pregnancy, loss, moving, and everything in between. We’ve really lived some life together over the years, haven’t we? After over 110 MILLION downloads and a whole lot of fun and lessons learned along the way, I felt like this would be an appropriate time to stop, take a look around, and reflect.

When was the last time you intentionally slowed down? I’m not talking about a quick weekend getaway, although that’s important too. I’m talking about slowing down by choice – for a day, a week, a month or even a season. Have you done that recently? Or…. Ever? Breaks are still just as important to our wellbeing as they were when we were kids. The only difference is that now, we have to make time for these slow-downs, rather than have it planned for us every year! This summer, I have intentionally decided to slow down and invite more play into my life… both for myself, for my family, and for my business. We’ve all heard the saying “you can’t pour from an empty cup,” and that’s exactly what this summer has been about.  (Spoiler alert: it’s been wonderful!) In this episode, we’re diving into the behind the scenes of what I’ve been up to these last few months while I pour into myself, my marriage, and my girls!

NEW brand, who dis?! Visit http://www.jennakutcher.com to witness the magic!  A lot of times when we think about a rebrand, we think about new logos and colors… and as you’ll hear in this episode, there was a lot of that. But through this process, there was also a lot of discussion about what the Jenna Kutcher brand IS; how to make it reflect ME and what I stand for and who I am becoming.  In this episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on what went into the new brand, why it came about, who played a role in helping get it done, and how we went about it. Whether you’re building your first or your fifth brand, my goal for this episode is to help you start to think about your own brand and if you need a little update, too!  This rebrand was a labor of love from everyone involved from start to finish, and I’m so proud to say that I think we’ve created something uniquely, undeniably ours. To see the new brand in its entirety, visit http://www.jennakutcher.com to witness the magic, or any of my social media platforms @jennakutcher!
