Leveraged & Loving It Podcast

Woohoo! 3 years of Leveraged & Loving It! I still can't believe that we did a weekly podcast for 3 years! What a huge achievement. But for now, we are putting Leveraged and Loving It on hold. There's a massive back catalogue for you to revisit. Go and find episodes you missed or revisit the ones that inspired you the most. Until next time, giddy up! 

I've chosen this episode as my TOP episode out of 3 whole years because even though it was one of the very first episodes I ever recorded, it is probably one of the ones that I have quoted and referred back to more than any other episode. Have you ever wondered what the heck a “thought leader” is and how do you become one? Well, in this episode of Leveraged & Loving It, Renee chats with Peter Cook, CEO of Thought Leaders. You’ll discover how Peter transitioned from his coaching practice into thought leadership and lessons about leverage he learned along the way. Shownotes: https://shareyourpassion.com.au/ep-2/

I chose this episode as number 2 because of the beautiful positive feedback we received. It was a risky episode to post, but it totally paid off! Do you feel like you’re not quite doing what you’re supposed to be doing? Living a life that’s in line with your values creates authenticity. In this episode of Leveraged & Loving Podcast, Renee chats to Nigel “Coach Will” Polak about how to be authentic in your life and business and the huge difference that it can make to both spheres.

I chose this episode because it was the start of a brand new relationship. This was the first time I'd ever spoken to Kate Toon and she went on to write the forward for my second book. In this episode, I’m joined by awarding winning SEO copywriter, Kate Toon to discuss all things “passive” income in her business. Passive income is a dream that many entrepreneurs have. Who doesn’t want to make money while they sleep? However, the word “passive” is a bit of a misnomer. It takes work to create and maintain the products, to market the products and look after clients. In this episode, Kate walks us through her product mix, and how she’s created lots of leveraged products that support her, even though she only works school hours. In this episode, we discuss: What is “passive Income”? The importance of structuring your working life around your personality Building products and courses as part of your product mix The benefits of launching courses and products inc

I've chosen this episode because this was one we got lots of feedback from listeners on. Adam Houlahan really helps us to demystify LinkedIn at a time when we were feeling jaded with Facebook and looking to expand our horizons.  LinkedIn is a platform I’ve disliked… until I started implementing Adam Houlahan’s simple and easy tips.

But, since implementing his simple approach (which only involves 13 pieces of content a month), I’m already getting so much more traction and interest on LinkedIn than ever before. In this episode, we discuss: What is “LinkedIn Jail” and how to get out of it A posting strategy for LinkedIn that works How to get content to go viral on LinkedIn How to craft a call to action on LinkedIn And much more Shownotes: https://shareyourpassion.com.au/ep-104/
