Had an incredible conversation with Kelly Schuknecht, founder of Two Mile High Marketing! Kelly shared her inspiring journey from publishing to marketing, and how being laid off became her opportunity to launch her dream business. What struck me most was her insight on what many marketing agencies miss - the tactical implementation that turns strategy into results.

Kelly expertly explained why thought leadership isn't about immediate sales but positioning yourself as an expert over time. Her practical advice on LinkedIn posting frequency (2-3 times weekly) and podcast appearances (2-3 monthly) is gold for busy executives. I loved her comparison of consistent content creation to "going to the gym" - those reps really do build your messaging muscles!

As I've seen with many clients, Kelly confirmed that small companies often grow without marketing until they hit a ceiling. Ready to break through yours?
