Tired of the same business advice? Spark & Ignite Your Marketing is where purpose-driven solopreneurs get real about the wins, the missteps, and what it actually takes to build something that matters. Hosted by Beverly Cornell, this podcast goes beyond marketing advice—it’s a space to share stories that celebrate each step, reminding us that every success and every mistake gets us closer to our dreams.

What You’ll Hear
Each week, Spark & Ignite Your Marketing with Beverly Cornell brings you two types of episodes designed to inspire and empower purpose-driven solopreneurs:

These aren’t just polished success tales; they’re honest accounts filled with laughter, hard-won lessons, and sometimes a few tears. We explore marketing strategies that truly connect, the surprising wisdom that mistakes can bring, and those sparks of inspiration that keep our purpose alive. We even take a trip back in time to revisit the kids we once were—the dreamers with big possibilities—and offer them a little advice for the road ahead. And for some fun, there’s a lightning round with quirky questions like, “If your business were an animal, what would it be?”
- Thursdays bring 10-Minute Solo Episodes to cut through the overwhelm of marketing. These episodes are made for creative, purpose-driven service businesses, breaking down one clear idea with one doable action you can take today to grow your impact and connect more meaningfully with your audience. No jargon, no fluff—just practical, human advice to help you build a brand that feels true to you.
