Rain or Shine | Marketing & Entrepreneurship Podcast

When you think gluten-free, do you think flavour free? Texture free? Taste free? I know I once did, until I started finding gluten-free options to my typical pastas & pastries that actually tasted BETTER than anything I could find at a conventional grocery store. Yepp, it’s possible. In today’s episode I am sitting down with Stephanie Dunn, the co-owner of Muskoka’s first dedicated Gluten Free Facility and Sit-Down Restaurant, The Pasta Shoppe. The Pasta Shoppe by Beat the Wheat is the brainchild of owner’s Stephanie & her husband Adam. Their shop features an incredible array of products ranging from fresh gluten free pastas, gluten free entrees, gluten free Breads & pastries. As I mentioned earlier, The Pasta Shoppe by Beat the Wheat is the only restaurant in Muskoka that is 100% gluten-free and peanut-free - and though some critics may have worried that there wasn’t a large enough market for these types of products in canada’s cottage country, Steph and Adam have proved that that is just simply not true. Especially when your gluten-free offerings are equally (or even more tasty) than the non-gluten-free counterparts. Steph is soft spoken yet powerful with her words, and although her husband & co-founder Adam was unable to join - I know you’re going to love hearing how the idea for a gluten-free shop came to be, why they settled on Bracebridge as a location, how they maintain a strong rapport with their community and their customers, why no market is TOO small or too defined, how to get scrappy with your marketing, and so much more. p.s. I mentioned that this is the FINAL episode of the Bracebridge Series, but in fact there is 1 more next week!

I’ve got something special for you. On Sept 14th, our brand new Marketing Intensive begins, and you have just 7 more days to take advantage of Early Bird Pricing. Not familiar with what I’m talking about? Here’s the deal..… I'll be your coach while we work through The Marketing Mastery Intensive™ together. This is a signature program from The Visionary Method for small business owners who are making at least 50k in revenue each year. I created this framework because these marketing principles are timeless, wealth-producing and little known - often ignored by modern marketing gurus. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need fancy Facebook Ads or Click Funnels to run a wildly successful business. But you DO need to know these 7 principles. For 3 months we’ll work together and I will drip you mind-blowing content & applicable homework challenges, alongside the time-honoured processes that you can incorporate into your business strategy immediately. https://kelseyreidl.lpages.co/marketing/

Today I'm breaking down 7 must-know principles for businesses looking to re-ignite their marketing strategy using innovative & time-honoured techniques. In this episode you will... Find out which area of your business 25% of your time (or more) must be devoted to for continual growth Understand how to become a walking-talking-lead-magnet through The Art of Fascination™ Learn how to make a strategic choice that compels your customers to share your products & services even when you're not around! & MORE I'll also walk you through the 7 principles with an associated challenge for each. The Relationships Recipe™ No matter what your product or service is, I can tell you with confidence that you are in the business of building relationships. Plain and simple, this should be your #1 priority every single day. At least 25% of your time should be spent connecting with past clients, nurturing current customers & warm leads, and showing up in new places where you'll be able to meet new people and introduce them to your brand. After this module you'll have a detailed recipe that you can follow with ease in order to become a Relationship-Building Master! The Art of Fascination™ Are people drawn to your work? Do they express interest in the vision that you're chasing? Is there a certain energy that follows you around everywhere you go, making it easy for you to open up about your business and gather new leads 24/7? Being "fascinating" isn't easy, but it's possible for all of us. You don't need to be interesting to be fascinating, you just need to be present, inquisitive & charismatic. In this module you're going to learn how to become a magnet for your business, using the Art of Fascination. The Shareability Scorecard™ Have you made any strategic operational choices that make your business shareable or talkable? Do you clients talk about you, even when you're not around? As one of my gurus Jay Bear once said, "the easiest way to grow your business is to have your customers do it for you". In this module, I will teach you how to implement more talkable / shareable moments so that your customers share your products & services on your behalf, and become an army or brand evangelists! The 10x Challenge™ Your business isn't average. Plain and simple. If it were average, you wouldn't be reading this. In order to become a marketing superstar, we need to uncover the unique brilliance of your business and then double down on showcasing that to the world. This is your 10x factor! In this module, we're going to go hard on your 10x factor and ensure that the whole word knows how different and unique your business is. Nobody pays attention to mediocre, and everyone pays attention to 10x beter. The Experiential Expo™ Experiential marketing is a strategy that captures the attention of your clients using immersive, engaging & branded experiences. Rather than try to sell your products and services, you’re focused on delivering a remarkable experience, which will naturally lead towards a sale. If you ever encountered the Pepsi Taste Challenge in the early 2000's you know exactly what I am talking about. We all have the ability to add an experiential element in order to allow our clients to "test drive" how awesome we are, so what are you waiting for? The Productization Principle™ One of my marketing mentors Harry Beckwith once said "we trust what we can see and we’re suspicious of what we hear". Since most businesses have trouble showcasing exactly what type of service they truly provide, it's essential to work on "productizing" your service or making a tangible model to showcase what someone is actually buying. In this module I am going to teach you how to easily showcase the transformation that clients receive when they work with you. We'll talk about Naming Your Brand, Creating a Visual Model of your Services & Creating a Scorecard to assess new clients. The Self-Expressed Marketer™ Your business grows as your self-expression is unleashed. Crazy as that may sound, you'll find that as you tap into the quirky qualities and crazy life experiences that only you posses, you'll be able to amplify your existing marketing efforts with the most unique twists that others can't ignore. You'll also become a shining example of what is possible in terms of growing a business in a manner that feels good. Despite what Marketing Guru #43 says or Facebook Ads Specialist #597 tells you - this is NO 1 right formula for your to grow your business. Nobody can give you the exact blueprint! In this module, you'll learn how to dust off the real-you so that you can share 110% of it with your community. Learn more https://kelseyreidl.lpages.co/marketing/ Is marketing coaching the answer you've been searching for? At one point, I was exactly where you are today... The foundation of the business was built, but I was wondering what information I was lacking in order to scale up without fancy Facebook Ads or complicated Email Automatio

Nielsen’s is a full service bike shop that was originally started by Matt’s Father, but in 2012 the shop closed indefinitely when his father Kurt was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Matt and Charlotte lived on the West Coast of Canada at the time, so they were not thinking about taking it over. Fast forward a few years, Charlotte was driving by the original locations of Nielsen’s Bicycles & she saw a “For Lease” sign hanging. She called Matt, immediately! The rest was history… Even though the 2 of them felt ill-prepared to dive into entrepreneurship, they decided to take the leap! These 2 are extremely humble, down-to-earth and speak truthfully about what it’s been like to re-launch the shop. I know that so many of you will resonate with their realistic approach to managing a business and embracing the role of lifelong learners. In this episode, we dive into... What Matt & Charlotte were up to before deciding to move home to Matt’s hometown and relaunch his Dads bike shop The moment they decided to re-launch the bike shop that Matt’s dad had shut down years prior Some of the challenges that they’ve faced in reopening the shop and managing a bricks & mortar Some of the exciting milestones they have reached in their first years of business What it’s like Working as a couple & how they’ve found their flow - IN THE HEART OF MUSKOKA, HOME TO SOME OF CANADA’S FINEST NATURE & COTTAGE ESCAPES, THERE LIES A TOWN CALLED BRACEBRIDGE.

LET’S GET TO KNOW TODAY’S GUEST, KRYSTAL DARLING! She is a Mama, a kick-ass entrepreneur of not 1 but 2 businesses, and she’s a lover of all things fashion - like seriously, her style is amazing and I wish I had her wardrobe. I first connected with Krystal while searching for my dream wedding dress - a quest that took me all the way to Bracebridge Ontario, since I knew her shop had the exact dress that I was searching for. It was so serendipitous & it just so happened, Dave and I had chosen a wedding venue just a few minutes away from the shop, as well. My experience working with Krystal was nothing short of amazing. She made the whole experience super comfortable and enjoyable - especially for someone like me, who barely ever gets out of her lululemons and tank tops. With an eye for unique and beautiful pieces - owning two boutique businesses is not just Krystal’s job, it's her passion. She also owns a shop called Belle's Boutique, which is a carefully curated clothing shop that offers an array of exclusive fashion brands for women. Also, might I point out that Krystal and I recorded this just days before she gave birth to her 2nd baby boy, Watson. Congrats, Krystal! In this episode, we chat about… How she’s been able to build something so much greater than just a retail store The challenges she faced in starting a clothing business in a small & seasonal town Why she decided to launch her second business, Darling Bridal Boutique in addition to owning & running Belle’s Boutique Importance of partnerships, collaboration & getting involved in your community & so much more CONNECT WITH KRYSTAL https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdCy7zlcoq/ http://www.darlingbridalmuskoka.com/ https://www.instagram.com/bellesboutiquemuskoka/ https://shopbellesboutique.com/ LINKS MENTIONED IN THE SHOW Fire & Ice Bracebridge Falls Bracebridge hiking trails Kala House of Colour (also a Visionary Life Podcast guest) Sully’s Muskoka (try the fish tacos!)

We show up daily and get visible to our audiences 2. We believe in ourselves and work on our mindset each day 3. We don’t always abide by the process and instead we choose to follow our own formats 4. We stay current in our industries, always learning what is working and what is not 5. We help others win and practice generosity with our knowledge p.s.

Today on the show, I’m chatting with my friend Stephanie Long, who is a Business Coach for Nutritionists! She helps nutritionists to build their programs, reach more clients & successfully launch their business! When Steph and I first connected via Instagram about 1.5 years ago, we were instantly intrigued by the very similar life paths that we had both followed. I guess you could say we were kindred spirits. Through getting to know one another-- we discovered that we were both students at the same Campus of The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition just a mere 6 months apart-- and both of us actually went on to become teachers of the Business Course there. Our similarities continued to surprise us -- some of them being that we both have coaching businesses which now focus on business coaching, whereas it was previously nutrition coaching… and we have both lived in the same neighbourhood in Toronto, without knowing each other. I’m so grateful that Instagram connected us, and allowed us to become friends. You may recognize Steph because I’ve actually been a guest on her podcast, The Next Level Nutrition Biz Podcast, before. It is SUCH an amazing resource for all nutritionists looking to level up their business skills, so be sure to listen to an episode. Stephanie lives on Vancouver Island in Canada with her partner Craig and their two tabby kitties! In this episode we’re diving into the topic of How to Get More Visible, so that you can grow your business. This is a topic that both Steph and I are very passionate about, because we know how hard it can feel to put yourself out there & gain visibility, especially in the early stages of launching. I’m so thrilled that I am able to feature Steph’s story on the visionary life podcast. I know you’re going to love this episode, so let’s dive in. - CONNECT WITH STEPH...
