Productivity is such a loaded word. For a long time it was just used synonymously with working. But we have a different definition. To be “productive” doesn’t just necessarily mean working. It means doing what you intend to do.
If you intend to rest and you rest, you’re productive. If you intend to write a newsletter and you write it, or you plan it, or you name the Google Doc so you can sit down and write it next time...hey I think that’s productive too.
A lot of productivity advice assumes that we all get things done in the same way, which couldn’t be further from the truth. We all have different brains, different preferences. Some of us prefer a very rigid schedule and that helps us stay on track. Some of us need extreme flexibility. We want to share our thoughts on productivity this week and hope after listening you’ll embrace more of what works FOR YOU!

Hope you enjoy our final update from Lisbon! We had a wonderful few days of sightseeing, adventures, and hilarious moments using an intercom system in an Airbnb.

204 - How we’re thinking about Teachery VIDEO content
Our 5-week content EXTRAVAGANZA is underway! We recap how our first week of creating short-form 60-second vertical videos went and give you a preview of what’s to come this week as we pivot to long-form YouTube content for Teachery.
If you didn’t listen to last week’s episode, we’re embarking on a 5-week content journey to get back into the groove of posting content to grow our audiences for Teachery and Wandering Aimfully (publishing starts in 1 month).
We set a goal of creating 10 short-form videos last week and we ended up with… 6! We’re actually happy with that result because we’re very new to short-form video creation and have been on a 3-year break from any short-form content creation 🥶. There were a ton of lessons learned, mistakes made, and a hilarious “first pancake” moment 🥞.
For this next week, we’re shifting our focus to long-form (10-15 minute) YouTube videos for Teachery. We talk through our plans live as we recorded this since it was a last-minute shift from working on articles.

203 - Our short-form content plan for Teachery (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts)
Here we go, folks! We’re back on the short-form video creation train and this week we’re sharing our plan of action for Teachery. We’ve been off social media for 2.5 years, so this is quite the journey!
If you missed last week’s episode, we’re embarking on a 5-week content extravaganza 😂 for our two businesses. This week is the official first week and we’re focusing solely on trying to create 10 pieces of 60-second video content to be shared on Teachery’s TikTok, YouTube, and IG account.
What does creating social content initially feel like? Who is doing what? What content keywords and strategies are we focusing on? All of that is tackled in this episode.
Important note: We are NOT posting this content just yet. We want to create a nice little backlog of content to have ready to post in a month-ish. We also want to get a feel for what the creation process is like and what formats/formulas of content work best for our skillsets.
Next week, we’ll update you with how this week went and then we’ll move on to the next content bucket.

202 - Getting back on social media (steal our content plan)
Bring on the 5-week content EXTRAVAGANZAAAA! We are getting back in the content creation saddle for the first time in almost 3 years. We’ve only been creating “nurture” content for the entirety of our WAIM business and that’s about to change!
This week, we’re kicking off a big content creation project for both WAIM and Teachery. Now, Teachery is a bit easier because it’s has NEVER had content created for it (not a single article, social post, etc). But, before we just start creating content willy-nilly, we wanted to come up with a framework to make sure we’re creating the right content for the right purpose. Is our content just nurturing an existing audience? Or is our content discoverable and helping us grow our audience?
Enter our… Content Salad MATRIX. We cover the two different formats of content (Long and Short) and the two different types of content (Find and Nurture). From there, we share our plan for the next 5 weeks and what type of content goes where.
We’ll fully acknowledge there is a lot to unpack in this episode and that we are embarking on a big content project, but hey, wouldn’t it be boring if we didn’t swing for the fences a bit??
Hope you enjoy it!

201 - We fell short of our launch goals. What did we learn?
We LOVE a launch recap episode! And as two people who value transparency and honesty in the online business world, we hope you appreciate this one because our latest launch (Spring 2024) didn’t quite hit the mark.
Now, we want to be 100% clear: We are not upset by a 6-figure launch. There is nothing to complain about or shed a tear about. However, there is a reality to reaching a certain level of revenue with our launches and then not hitting that same level after raising our price (for the first time in 5 years).
We hope you get a few takeaways from this episode if you’ve had a lackluster launch and see it the same way we do; as an opportunity to improve and create a new baseline for the future!

Join us this week as we celebrate episode #200 of this podcast by sharing a few untold (maybe just lesser known?) stories from our entrepreneurial pasts. We each picked a few stories for the other to share without telling them ahead of time — fun!
In some ways it feels like we’ve recorded 200+ episodes of this podcast, but in other ways, it kind of feels like we’re just getting started. Whether you are listening to your first episode or have been with us since the start, we appreciate you so much 💖💖.
⭐️ If you were thinking of getting us flowers, chocolates, or a delicious batch of cinnamon rolls to celebrate this milestone, we’d gladly accept a rating and review on whatever podcast player you use!
Here’s to 200 more eps 👩🏻🦰👨🏻🦲👋.
