Our focus topics this year:

Instagram Reels / TikTok / Micro Video Content / Email List Nurturing / Email List Building / Search Engine Optimization / Using the Social Media tools and tricks you have to build an engaged community and network / Innovation and Motivation

- Are Reels and TikTok even right for me? Should I be making those even if I don't like being on camera? Where do I get started and how do I implement this into my business. How do I create Micro Content?

- What is the best way for me to build and nurture an email list. I have heard I should collect emails, but is it worth it? I don't know what the heck to do with them.

- How do I get better SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to my business. I want to be top of mind

- Staying fresh, motivated, and innovative while building a business and building a life.

Stephanie Llewellyn

Stephanie Llewellyn is a Content Marketing Expert, Founder + Owner of The Social Vine Marketing Agency, Creator of the “Cool Mom CEO” brand, and Host of, "Who Does She Think She Is" Podcast.

Stephanie is a multi-passionate, creative-minded single mom and college drop-out who took the scenic route to success. A writer, creator, and avid sharer of the unfiltered side of life for most of her life, she always thought it was always just a hobby that she would share on social media. Fast forward to today! Her dream became her hobby which turned into a business.

Helping entrepreneurs find their voice, create aligned messaging, and content as a brand to promote and ultimately grow their business is EVERYTHING to Stephanie. Seeing the shifts happen in their mindset, creativity and business is what makes her tick.

Creating content for your Marketing doesn’t have to be something you dread, overthink and then put off forever. The way you show up in your business doesn’t have to look like anyone else, it doesn’t have to sound a certain way, and if you are someone who struggles with where to even begin - Stephanie has got you. Messy action is Stephanie’s love language and showing other business owners how to take steps in the right direction, is what she does best!

Joseph Bojang

Joseph Bojang is a business and personal development keynote speaker who helps audiences understand and rewrite the stories that shape and impact their lives.

As a business owner, entrepreneur, husband, and “awesome dad” (according to his kids), Joseph understands the challenges multiple areas of life can present, especially when going for your goals gets difficult. Everyone experiences obstacles to their goals but Joseph helps you understand it’s what you believe about your ability to figure out solutions to keep going towards your goals that makes the difference.

When he’s not speaking at globally recognized conferences (Think John Maxwell Team) you can find Joseph perfecting his BBQ skills on the smoker, practicing Jiu-Jitsu, or playing pickleball with his family.
