Welcome to Season 2 of the StartSomething Show

Written by mike@brandrevive.com on . Posted in Podcast, VIP Backstage Pass.

Welcome to Season 2 of the StartSomething Show

VIP Backstage Pass – Welcome to Season 2 of the StartSomething Show

Nobody is more surprised than me to announce that there is a second season of the start something show. The story of how this came about is a truly entrepreneurial one – so grab your travel mug of coffee and enjoy this short story episode.

Back when I created The StartSomething Show I wanted to tell the stories behind success – the REAL stories, not the ‘overnight success stories’ that were really many years in the making. I wanted to pull back the curtain and share the vulnerability, the failures, the real journey of success. So that’s what we did.

The episodes in season two are quite a bit different. I had originally recorded these interviews with the intent of them being training modules for the members in my community. BUT, since I had a ‘pivot’ in my business (and more on that in the episode) now you get the benefit of these nuggets of awesomeness.

Get in touch with your comments​ below!

Listen to full Episode

What You’ll Learn From This Episode:

  • Why I created the StartSomething Show
  • Why I want to tell the stories behind success
  • What happens when you get really clear on where your genius is
  • How podcasting completely changed the way I do business
  • The surprising discoveries you make about your business when you reach back to your childhood
  • Why trying to fit into what others say you should be doing might not be your true path
  • Lessons learned from my business “pivot” and realization
  • The idea I sat on for over four years that transformed my business
  • How audio took over my life in the best possible way
  • Actionable steps and tools to make things happen

Start Something and Finish w/ Tina Dietz [Podcast]

Written by mike@brandrevive.com on . Posted in Business Development, Leadership, Marketing, Podcast.

​​I was a guest at the Moms With Dreams Show, hosted by Erica Blocker where we talked about how you can Start Something and finish it. Tune in(Podcast on Moms With Dreams, March 28, 2017)

Start Something - Tina Dietz & Erica Blocker

This week on the podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Tina Dietz, owner of Start Something Business Solutions. Tina and I met last September when she was speaking at Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference here in New Jersey. I knew from the moment that Tina shared her story that I wanted to invite her to be a guest on my podcast. I just knew that her story would inspire and excite YOU to start something brilliant.

Tina Dietz is an internationally acclaimed business coach, audiobook publisher and launch specialist, podcast producer and a bestselling author who has been featured on ABC, Inc.com, Huffington Post and Forbes.

Her podcast, The Start Something Show, was named one of the top podcasts for entrepreneurs on Inc.com. Her company helps clients who want more than just a business and more than a routine life – they want a Business Oasis. I LOVE that!

One of the things that we jump into during this interview is the idea that so many creatives and entrepreneurs struggle with avoiding shiny bright objects and staying focused. It’s because they have brilliant ideas and love starting new projects but often have a hard time finishing them. (I know this is one of my own personal challenges.) Tina sheds light on this topic and shows you how to redirect your excitement of “starting” so you can finish what you’ve started. It’s powerful!

Tina shares lots of great tips during our time together and suggests that you read the book, Big Magic, by Elizabeth Gilbert.

It’s hard to believe that this is my 87th episode, but it is. And that means that I’m only 13 episodes away from my next big milestone as a podcaster! I’ll share more about what I’m planning as we get closer.

For now, I want you to think about one thing that you learned from my interview with Tina and how you will implement it in your life.

Let me know what you’re going to start. You can leave me a note in the comments or send an email to Erica@momswithdreams.com.

I hope this was valuable to you in some way and that you now have a different outlook on your life, your business or both.

I’ll be back next week with more inspiration and education.

Get out there, do what you love and make a difference!

xoxo,

Erica
