ABOUT:
Julie guest-stars on We Don’t Play Podcast with her friend and branding powerhouse, Favour Obasi-Ike. Together they unpack:
• What an authentic brand looks like in 2025
• The real role of SEO in discoverability (and how to spot black-hat traps)
• Marketing through relationships, not hype
• Networking rules that actually move deals forward (especially the art of the follow-up)
• Why IRL moments beat “online only” every time
• How introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts can all thrive at events
• Due diligence and protecting your reputation
Key Takeaways:
• “Fortune is in the follow-up.” Showing up is step one; systematic follow-up is where results live.
• Lead with service. Be more interested than interesting—connect people to people.
• Brand = how you’re remembered. Consistency builds trust.
• IRL > everything. Let online amplify, not replace.
• Energy matters. Pace yourself and find a networking “sherpa.”
• Protect your business. Real entities, clean invoicing, transparent deliverables.
• Core rule: Be a good human.
Quotables:
• “Be a good human. That’s the brand strategy most people skip.”
• “Don’t mistake my sweetness for weakness.”
• “If you didn’t make a connection, they won’t follow up.”
Practical Playbook:
• Before events: clarify your vision; prep 3 generous intros you can make for others.
• During events: listen 70% / talk 30%; capture context.
• After events (48-hour rule): personalized follow-up → calendar → micro-win (share a resource or make an intro).
• SEO sanity check: own your domain & DNS, get Search Console access, avoid shortcuts.
