You can follow a recipe line by line, and it can still turn out wrong. Whether you’re baking a new bread recipe, putting together an Ikea Bed Frame or launching a brand new online course – things don’t always work out perfectly.And that’s life.I think it’s safe to say that we all know that feeling of disappointment when things don't go according to plan. You work so hard on something, put your heart and soul into it, and then it falls flat. It can be disheartening, but it's important to remember that these setbacks are a normal part of life. Every successful person has experienced their share of failures– including Sara Monika, a Wedding Photographer, Educator and Host of The Shine & Thrive Podcast.The key is to learn from these experiences and use them to make you stronger and more resilient. This is something that Sara and I discuss at length inside of this podcast episode.So if you want to hear from a Business Owner who has BEEN THROUGH IT ALL, you’re going to love this convo with my friend Sara Monika.https://www.instagram.com/saramonikaphoto/IN THIS EPISODE, WE CHAT ABOUT…Why did you decide to launch a podcast?What’s been the most rewarding part of creating & producing the show?Any unforeseen challenges?Can you recap how 2020 went for you, as a professional photographer who shoots mostly weddings & in-person eventsRight at the start of the pandemic, you launched your first online course, Outsourcing Made Easy for Wedding PhotographersWalk us through your journey of building this courseWhy did you decide to take the plunge into the world of Online Course CreationIt’s a huge undertaking to build an online course - how did you stay on task and stay accountable?Any tips for aspiring online course creators, now that you’ve gone through the experienceWhy did you start with in person sessions, was there a strategy here?First, what types of tasks did you start outsourcing years agoHave you always been confident in the investment required upfront to pay a V.A?What would you say to someone who is hesitant to outsource?You actually have data that prove that outsourcing saves you 100’s and 100’s of hours per year - would your business be where it is today without outsourcing?You had your VA take an SEO course (you paid her $7 / hour to take it), it sounds like you have an amazing VA! Where did you connect with them?Something that you’re a true master of is Showing up Authentically...You share stories of yourself dancing, shuffling, walking your dog - and sometimes you go deeper & talk about your struggles with binge eating or feeling unmotivated… Why do you pull the curtains back on your life so authentically?You mentioned in a podcast that you had mastered “being you” in your wedding photography business, but when it came to your role as an educator you felt like you were still looking to others in the industry to show you how to act or performIn what ways did you catch yourself not being authentic?It takes self awareness to catch yourself being someone you’re not and to address it. Do you have any tips or practices that allow you to reconnect with yourself?One thing I admire about you is that you won’t use Skin Smoothing Filters… is this in an effort to be authentic, too?Growth & The FutureHow much of your success do you attribute to showing up consistently & authentically, and how much do you attribute to being an expert of your craftWhat drives you each day?

That’s why I’m so thrilled to bring you this episode with Jennifer Zhang.

One glimpse at her channel and you’ll know why she’s reaching the masses. She’s creative, crafty and totally hilarious.

Well this was a super fun episode! Have you guys been down the YouTube rabbit hole lately and stumbled upon one of those 73 questions videos? No? Just me? Okay well I loved watching them. This type of “get to know you” is something I often want to do in real life when I meet people so I can accelerate my friendship with them, but that might come across super weird. I don’t know that everyone is down with my creepy level of curiosity haha. This week on the show, I’m sitting on the other side of the mic and my friend Stephanie Long who is also a business coach is putting me in the hot seat and I'll be answering each question, so that you can all get to know me a bit better. It does feel strange to release an episode like this (the little voice in my head keeps saying “nobody cares” but then I remind myself that if I love watching other peoples, then someone will enjoy listening to mine). Perhaps you’ll realize we have lots in common, and if so - please reach out and let me know which of the 73 questions we had similar responses to. I’d love to hear from you over on Instagram @kelseyreidl Big love going to Steph for agreeing to this crazy idea of mine. If you go check out her podcast “Next Level Nutrition Biz” you’ll be able to find her episode of 73 questions at some point in the future, as well. Let the questioning begin!

TODAY ON THE PODCAST I’M SITTING DOWN WITH FIORELLA CUNHA, THE COFOUNDER OF STORIA WHICH IS A VIDEO STRATEGY & PRODUCTION COMPANY BASED IN TORONTO, CANADA. Fiorella and her team at Storia help businesses create strategic video content to tell their story, engage their audience and grow their business. After one look at their website or Instagram, you’ll understand how seriously they take their work. The videos and storytelling that they do for their clients are top quality and I am so excited to sit down with Fiorella and pull the curtains back to learn how they started their business and how it’s evolved over the years. After many years of running a photography studio (before video marketing became popular) Fiorella and her husband Frank honoured their passion for film and storytelling, which led them to stop pursuing photography clients and focus all their efforts back to video production. Today their energy is focused around leveraging the power of video, something we ALL need to be paying more attention to as business owners. IN THIS EPISODE, FIORELLA AND I CHAT ABOUT… the early days of starting their photography studio and how scary it was to commit to their first commercial lease in a shopping mall how they were able to generate line ups of people who waited hours for photo sessions with them why they pivoted into video production, from many successful years in photography the reasons that they feel video is so vital for businesses to add to their promotional strategy & much more!

Earlier this year, I had the chance to attend the launch of an incredible foundation called Impact Zero, created by my friend Erin Andrews. At this event, I met 2 incredible individuals named Tanis and Mara who are the founders of an eco-friendly, package-free refillery in midtown Toronto called The Green Jar. More than just a shop though, Tanis and Mara are educators & community members who are on a mission to ensure that zero waste is accessible and less intimidating. Tannis and Mara spent their formative years on a 50 acre horse farm in the 1970’s and would spend their summers with their grandmother in the Swiss Alps, where low waste, package-free shopping was the norm. Tannis and Mara have memories of daily trips into town with their Grandmother to visit the baker, butcher and fromager, allowing one to catch-up with the proprietors and neighbours about the daily events. The sisters wanted to recreate a sense of community and similar feel in their space, but awaited the right time to open their own shop. As young adults, Tannis and Mara were frustrated with the amount of plastic waste they saw in their city. Their efforts to maintain their sustainable lifestyle by buying package-free products in bulk had them travelling all over the city, requiring lots of planning. There had to be a better way! The Green Jar was created in order to support a circular economy by assisting their community in reducing (and one day eliminating) household waste and single-use plastics, as well as embracing an eco-friendly lifestyle. This is an inspiring and informative conversion. We talk about their experience opening a shop just a mere few months before COVID, how they pivoted with the persistence of the global pandemic, some of the most valuable investments they made while planning out their store & who they hired, top items to switch to eco friendly, what sparked the idea to open the shop, how they built a community of customers, the most important things to have in place if you want to open a retail space, and more! This was their first podcast so I hope to do them justice with this episode. The best place to connect with them is on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/thegreenjarshop/ OR visit the shop in Toronto at 1061 St Clair Ave W, Toronto, ON M6E 1A6 Visit their website... thegreenjarshop.com

Let's talk about the foundation of your marketing strategy... Your visionary dream clients Unique Brilliance The “method” Make it friction-less In this episode, we're discussing the 4 key pillars to put in place so that you can create a rockstar Marketing Strategy! First we will talk about your visionary dream clients… we dive into: Good marketing speaks to someone, not everyone - it’s OK to be polarizing and specific Mastering your marketing means knowing your VDC better than they know themselves Define them: geographic location, what they struggle with, what their “dream come true outcome” is How many dream clients are you working with? Next we will talk about identifying your Unique Brilliance… When you line up against 3 of your competitors, what sets you apart? Why should people choose YOU? These need to be qualities that your VDC will value Ex: price, fun, accessibility, product benefits, location, referral only, we invest back in your business, results first Did you create something this month that expresses your businesses Unique Brilliance? YES or NO. Then, we'll chat about The Method… Why you must "Show" instead of "Tell". What is the process and what is the name (3 to 7 major steps) Ex: Discovery Call, Social Media Audit, Social Strategy Presentation 1, Revision 1, Implementation, Monthly Review. How many people learned about or interacted with your "method"? Finally, we will cover Making it “friction-less” for your VDC's to buy from you! What are you claiming to be delivering on?

[ENTER THE GIVEAWAY OVER ON INSTAGRAM!] Healthy Crunch is on a mission to innovate everyday foods by making them healthier and better tasting & today I get to sit down face to face with their founder aka (Chief Crunching Officer) Julie Bednarski. Julie Bednarski is a dynamic and energetic entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in the food and nutrition industry. Her entrepreneurial spirit was fostered at a young age, and when she realized there were few healthy options to fuel her love for snacking, she set out to solve the problem. In 2014 she used her expertise as a chef and Registered Dietician to create Healthy Crunch. Healthy Crunch is a staple item in our kitchen & it should be a staple in yours, too. Here's how I am currently loving their products... I spread their chia jam on toast with tahini or peanut butter, I snack on their SchoolApproved granola bars - contain 1 billion GanedenBC30 probiotics per bar. This is also the first granola bar in Canada to have only 2 grams of sugar per bar, I satisfy my sweet tooth with their Chocolaty Seed Butter Spreads... & the best part… their products are better-for-you, with less sugar, more fibre, they’re better tasting, many are Keto Certified, vegan, paleo, and allergen-free. Visionary approved! What began with recipe development in Bednarski’s kitchen, has now emerged as a top competitor in the market.

In this episode we share… The big news we’ve been waiting over a month to share with the visionary community Why COVID was the catalyst that made us start seeking a home outside of Toronto Why it’s so important to tune inwards and to honour your own timeline, rather than comparing your life milestones to someone else's How we decided on a city to plant roots in…. It may come as a bit of a surprise where we chose Bringing my “Visionary” Home Pinterest board to life :) p.s.

Tanya has had a crush on flowers for years now. It’s an obsession really!Flowers have always been part of her life and she’s been designing professionally since 2001. Her Muskoka-based design studio shows the love she has for every bloom. Her style is very natural and organic, perfect for weddings here in Muskoka and beyond. Tanya opts for locally sourced flowers whenever possible, some are even picked from her own gardens to create beautiful arrangements on event days. TANYA’S EXPERIENCE SPANS FROM 2006-2013 CO-OWNING THE #1 RATED FLORAL BOUTIQUE IN DOWNTOWN TORONTO. After the birth of the most amazing little girl, her life led her in a new direction. In 2013 Tanya, her hubby Ry and little lady Reid moved back to her much missed and loved hometown of Muskoka. Here she has created a floral and design studio where her focus remains on each client- giving them a personal and creative touch in every single detail. Before we get into the episode, I wanted to read a review of Tanya that I found online, to give you insight into how much her clients adore her work…. It reads… Tanya made my wedding day an absolute dream. She's truly one of the most talented florists.If you're getting married in Muskoka and amazing, over-the-top florals are your jam, then you NEED to go with Tanya List. From the moment I first e-mailed her about my wedding, she was professional and could easily envision the style I wanted for my wedding. It was easy to communicate and plan with her from day one. She even went above and beyond the things we had originally planned on my day when she added palms and pink pampas grass to a ceiling-suspended canoe at my rustic up north wedding venue. Thank you SO SO much Tanya! You are a super star!
