Ever wondered what craft beer, travel and automations have in common?
The answer is moi!
Over the last 3 months, Corey and I have been on a much needed adventure working and travelling through Turkiye and Greece. We packed 1 suitcase, including our laptops and quickly decided on our destination. Within 3 days, we were on the plane to Izmir, Turkiye.
During our trip, Corey rediscovered his passion for craft beer. We got talking to a few large craft breweries and bars located in Izmir and Bodrum in Turkiye; and also in Crete and Naxos Islands in Greece.
In this episode, I am sharing our travel experience and what we’ve learnt from speaking to some of these business owners.
Every time I travel, I’m reminded how technology helps us stay connected around the world and how quickly countries around the world are adopting it. AI seems to be on top of everyone’s mind!
I heard Simon Sinek on a podcast recently called The School of Greatness, share his thoughts on AI and human connections. He used social media influencer analogy.
Simon says it’s much easier to pick up a phone and record yourself to talk to millions followers, but to try and say the same thing to a friend in person is entirely a different thing. It’s harder to talk to one person than to a million people.
Simon’s view is that AI cannot replace human connection. Our travel has proved that point a thousand times over!
So for the next Season, will be covering how to structure your marketing automation strategy and how to create a marketing automation strategy for your business. This can be applied in any business. You could be running an ecommerce business or a consultancy; even if you decide to run a new business altogether, the skills you will learn will be applicable in any business.
It’s important to put a marketing automation strategy in place first before you sign up to a new tool or ask your friends what they think you should do – too many opinions can cause confusion and you’ll quickly become overwhelmed.
