317. Finding Your People and the Power of Community
01/23/23 • 37 min
1 Listener
On today’s show I want to share from my heart something that is deeply important to me - community. This is one of the major factors that drives what we do here at Studio Sherpas. We all need healthy, thriving community in our lives. It’s the reason I’m where I am now. Community is where you can be yourself, celebrate your wins, and most importantly have people who care about you to carry you when times get too difficult to keep going alone. We all reach those times in our lives and businesses where we just don’t know what to do or how to move forward. In those moments we need strong and loving people around us to help carry us to the other side. Find your people, it will change your life for the better and you won’t regret it.
Key Takeaways- Find your people - this is how we are wired to thrive.
- By yourself you won’t go as far as you can when in a strong community.
- Don’t allow the scarcity mindset to limit you or affect the way you view others.
- The work you do is important. You can’t do it sustainably without a strong business and a healthy community.

“When I think about what I do today and what brings me life today, it's this, it's this word community.” [7:52]
“In my heart of hearts, I really think that we were designed for community.” [24:56]
“Because here's the thing. Like if you don't have a good business, you can't do this work for for a long time. And I just believe so much that the stories we're telling, the stories that we want to tell, the way that we're helping our clients, the way that we're doing that through video, it's so important. It's like some of the most important work that exists.” [25:42]
“Content, coaching, and community, I think those things can propel your business into the next stage and honestly make it more enjoyable.” [30:12]

Today on the show we take a bit of a scientific look at one of the most valuable tools for generating new clients - referrals. Stacey Brown Randall has developed a system for building your business into one that thrives by using client referrals, all without ever having to awkwardly ask for them. Once you are able to capitalize on good, quality referrals you will realize just how much impact they can have for your business while investing very little time. This healthy system of referrals can be your key to developing a more sustainable business than you have ever had before.

“I know everybody can do anything for a short amount of time. But I needed something for longevity.” [9:59] - Stacey Brown Randall
“To get to a point where a client would actually want to refer you, it's not just the work you produced, because if it were just the work you produced, every single client you've ever had that you've done great work for would be referring you.” [32:45] - Stacey Brown Randall
“When we can impact how our referral source feels about us, we've then earned the opportunity to direct how they think about us.” [39:40] - Stacey Brown Randall
“Here's the number one question people need to ask themselves. Do I believe that I should take care of the people who take care of my business? And if your answer to that is yes, then you probably need a plan in place to actually show them that gratitude.” [41:12] - Stacey Brown Randall

318. Building Credibility and Success Through Effective Media Attention with Stephanie Lee
Today on the show I talk media exposure with Stephanie Lee! Stephanie is an expert media strategist and shares so much wisdom on getting compelling stories into the media. Most of us think that high profile media coverage is something outside of our reach and is reserved for celebrities or billionaire business owners. In reality, top-tier media coverage is a serious possibility for you and can be an absolute game changer for your business. The media is always hungry for a compelling story. All you have to do is tell your story in the right way and to the right people!
Key Takeaways- Use Stephanie’s “Pitch Like a Pro” framework to develop a popular, relevant, and original story from your life that people will want to share.
- Media attention has a snowball effect for your business. It continually leads to bigger and better opportunities which then compound into even bigger and better ones in the future.
- Start gaining traction in the media by telling the right story to the right people.
Stephanie Lee is a media strategist and founder of Clout Monster, where we teach entrepreneurs, creatives, and businesses how to get top-tier media attention and exposure.
In This Episode- [0:00] Welcome to the show!
- [4:29] Meet Stephanie Lee
- [7:27] Finding your voice
- [15:04] The importance of media attention
- [22:49] The nature of visibility and the press
- [29:17] Getting noticed and being confident in your value
- [37:18] “Pitch Like a Pro” Framework
- [47:11] Practical next step
- [48:48] Connect with Stephanie
- [50:57] Outro
“This is an industry of credibility, right? People like to work with people they know, like, and trust.” - Stephanie Lee [18:49]
“The nature of visibility and press, you know, the more press you get, the more visible you get and naturally the more opportunities open up.” - Stephanie Lee [22:59]
“you can't deny the network effect that having press and being so visible gives you because all of a sudden people want to talk to you and when you know more people, that opens up more opportunities. That just leads to growth.” - Stephanie Lee [25:07]
“The easiest way that I tell everybody to make your story original is to make it a personal story, right? When you talk about yourself, you talk about your own backstory, your own unique circumstances and lessons that automatically makes it original, even if, like, the takeaways are, you know, not entirely original, but there's so many universal, applicable lessons that the reader will still be able to find valuable.” - Stephanie Lee [44:18]
