Such great insights from Bryan Switalski on how to approach social media content. It makes such a difference when we show up focused on serving one person well.
Social media is often something we know is important for our business marketing plans, but aren’t quite sure how to approach. It can be challenging to figure out where to start, how to create content, and the best way to be effective in this without burning out.

We’re talking with Bryan Switalski, the founder of Leverage Clarity and author of the newly released book, MXltiply.
In this episode, Bryan shares how he went from disliking social media to being convinced of the power of social media for businesses, some of his best social media strategies for multiplying impact (and not effort), and why he’s so passionate about helping business owners share their messages via social media.
We also discuss why you don’t want to post to social media every day, the new opportunities available on most every social media platform right now (thanks to the growth of TikTok), and how to make your content more effective in speaking to your audience.

The connections we build with others are so meaningful and impactful, whether in starting a business, moving forward in your career, increasing your business impact, or being purposeful in personal relationships.

Sometimes it can be hard to narrow down business ideas and we can put pressure on ourselves to find the “one right thing” for us. But what if the right work plan for you isn’t just one thing, but a few different businesses where you can pursue multiple ideas and use a variety of different skills and abilities?
Colleen joins us on this episode and shares her story of becoming a university professor, starting two businesses, and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
We also discuss how she balances two businesses and a job, her approach for narrowing down ideas when you feel overwhelmed or stuck, and why we should give our full effort to trying for our dreams, even if we’re not sure it will work out.
