#134: You Don’t Owe the Internet Your Presence Everywhere

In this solo recap episode, Ashlan and Tory reflect on their conversation with writer and writing coach Sam Pollack and unpack the pressure entrepreneurs feel to constantly create content, stay visible online, and “play the algorithm game.”They discuss why data matters more than internet trends, how to build a marketing strategy that actually aligns with your energy, and why creativity thrives when you remove unnecessary rigidity and pressure. The conversation also dives into boundaries, burnout, trust in business growth, networking, writing, and the importance of creating sustainable systems that support both your work and your life.This episode is a refreshing reminder that you do not owe the internet your presence everywhere, and that building a business in alignment with your values is always worth it.Key Takeaways You don’t have to market your business on every platform to be successful.Data and analytics should guide marketing decisions more than pressure or trends.Creativity suffers when content creation becomes overly rigid or formulaic.Consistency matters, but flexibility and sustainability matter too.Building systems to track leads and conversions should be a higher priority than posting constantly online.Your audience can feel when your energy is disconnected from your content.Boundaries are essential for both creative work and business growth.Following up with leads in human-centered ways can improve connection and trust.Entrepreneurship requires learning how to trust yourself through uncertainty and growth seasons.Host information:Co-Host, Ashlan Glazier-Anderson, Owner of AshbeanPDX MarketingCo-Host, Victoria (Tory) Proppe, Owner of Imagine Marketing StrategiesConnect:On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaketheLeap-Today On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taketheleap_today With Ashlan:https://www.instagram.com/ashbeanpdxmktg https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashlan-glazier-anderson With Tory:https://www.instagram.com/imaginemarketingstrategies https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriaproppe Like our content?
