In this episode, the tables are turned. Dan O’Donoghue is in the host seat, and I’m the guest.

Dan has been working with small business owners for over 20 years, and this was an insightful conversation about what’s working now on social media and why some people are still stuck.

We talked about my own journey, the fire that was lit in me when a teacher said “I wasn’t fit for secondary school”, and how that same determination is what drives me now.

But we didn’t just talk about my story. We went into what actually matters if you’re using social media to grow a business.

You’ll hear:
- Why social media isn’t just about awareness
- Why content creators and business owners have very different goals
- The one thing you need to get right before posting anything
- What the Social Selling Assessment showed us about real results
- Why “just using AI” isn’t enough
- The difference between posting and having a system
- Why clarity always comes before confidence

If you’ve been feeling like you “should be further along by now,” this masterclass will open the path wide for you.
