June Recap: Tricks, Tips, and Tix


Read time: 3 min 22 sec

Whatup Reader!

And it’s officially officially summer! Tomorrow is the first day of July which means social media is about to be flooded with complaints that it’s too hot outside, made by someone who just a few weeks ago was complaining that it was too cold and they couldn’t wait for summer. It be like that.

Anyway, if you’re new here (which I am certain some of you are, fresh out of the F+F training), I send these recap emails out on the last day of each month as a way to share the things that this awesome community has told me they’ve found helpful, and also to let you in on things that are coming your way in the next few months. I know you’re busy and I realize I put out a lot of content in a bunch of different places, so if you’re ever worried about missing anything, rest assured that the monthly recap will have all the important stuff in it.

Alright, let’s get into it!


From the ‘Gram:

Summer means a slowdown with client-facing activities, but we still out here posting because that’s what we do. Here are a few fam faves from this month. Click on any of the images below to check out the full post on Instagram.


From the Podcast:

This year I decided to switch things up and release only one new Maestro on the Mic podcast episode per week. Not ready to give up that Thursday spot, I decided to use Mondays for new episodes and then use Thursday to re-publish a previously released episode, Thursday Throwback style. With over 500 episodes to choose from, it’s been awesome going into the “archives” and bringing back some bangers. I hope you enjoy the new stuff and the old stuff as much as I do.

Video versions of the new Monday podcast episodes are also available on YouTube for any of you who enjoy seeing just how animated I am when I speak ;-) Tap the links below to listen to my top picks from last month’s episodes or click the YouTube thumbnails to watch any of the Monday video podcast episodes on YouTube!

Thank you to everyone who has left a rating or review for the podcast, and thank you in advance to anyone who was just guilted into leaving one ;-)

PS – How dope are these thumbnail images?! Shoutout to @docjoeo for crushing it!

From Other People’s Businesses:

Read time: 2 min 55 sec Whatup Reader! We blinked and it’s October, the weather is actually quite shit here in the South Bay, but I want to focus on more positive things for today’s email: My sneakers. If you know me, you know that I’m a bit of a sneaker head and always have been. Just look at baby Maestro. I’ve always loved getting new sneakers, keeping up with the latest drops, and finding footwear that made a statement. But no matter what, I’d never sacrifice comfort for style. If it’s...

Read time: 1 min 58 sec Whatup Reader! Let’s talk about selling. Or to put it another way, receiving. I had the honor of speaking at the CPTA annual Conference this past Saturday. During my presentation one of the attendees asked for a simplified approach to using Instagram for business. I hit her with what you’d expect: Consistency, competency, specificity, authenticity, and then I added, “You’ve got to be willing to ask for the sale. You’ve got to be willing to talk about your services.”...
