Business Inside Out
Normalizing the entrepreneurial experience one real conversation at a time. Get comfortable, grab your favorite beverage, and join me for a behind-the-scenes look at the mindset, grit, and strategy that creates business success from the inside out.
For any of you who have ever been intimidated by launching or have launched and felt overwhelmed with all the moving pieces, this interview is for you!
This week, we're talking to Kate Boyd, who's the genius founder of Cobblestone Creative Co., a digital marketing agency that creates hand-crafted marketing systems to attract, nurture, and convert more customers you love without burning out.
Kate was kind enough to sit down with me and share what's gone into creating not one, but three successful businesses as well as some of her tips and insights around launching.
Kate shares so much gold in this interview, but what I love most is her approach to marketing and launching. She takes the world of online and digital marketing and humanizes it. Everything Kate does is focused on "mirroring how relationships actually happen."
As Kate says, "Let’s look at technology and all the things it can do and actually use it to be more human…I think that’s the way the industry is shifting."
Amen to that. Let's.
For those of you who are new to Kate's world and launching, you're in for a good one!
Join Kate and me for a look at how she helps her clients create sales experiences that convert up to 5 times the normal rate! We're talking seasons of success, what it's like to transition from a secure job to entrepreneurialism, and all things launching. Kate's even giving us a 3-step launching framework that creates results without a spending a ton of ad money!
Grab a coffee, your notebook, and let's dive in!
