Summer is in the home stretch, but amidst all the last-minute vacation days and back-to-school shopping, we’re still here for you. Our community of professional knowledge-seekers is at it non-stop, stuffing our weekly newsletters with freshly curated insights. But if you’ve been too busy making the most of the sunshine, we understand. Here is a wrap-up of some of the choice tidbits you’ve missed over the past month.
Leadership
Do you feel like you’re so busy running around putting out fires that you have no time to actually work on your business? The folks at Convivo know exactly how you feel, and they’re launching a new podcast to help agency leaders bust out of their daily rut and focus on long-term success. Or you can join our very own Carl Smith for a special Bureau of Digital podcast, as he draws on his experiences to help you navigate this most uncertain of times. From hiring troubles to shedding office space in the middle of a pandemic, he shares some great ideas for a post-business-as-usual world.
Here are a couple more resources we’ve been checking out:
Podcasting
It may seem like everyone and their dog is doing it, but maybe there’s a good reason for that. Dr. Jeremy Weisz joined the Smart Business Revolution Podcast to talk about what kind of content you should be providing to your podcast listeners. And he knows his stuff, having run his own podcast over the last decade featuring some of the world’s top entrepreneurial business minds. Hosted by the well-known networking expert James Corcoran, it’s a great way to learn more about building business relationships.
But success is also about doing the little things. To help you focus on the daily minutiae that lead a business toward success, you could check out the Small Efforts podcast. There the founders of two leading cybersecurity design agencies walk you through…well, the small efforts that it takes to make things work.
