    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dave Charest. Summary of the Dave Charest Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Dave Charest, Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact, a leading digital marketing platform. Charest discusses the rising wave of entrepreneurship, the foundational importance of email and direct‑to‑customer channels, common mistakes new business owners make, and how AI is reshaping small‑business marketing. He provides practical guidance on marketing consistency, channel selection, building community relationships, and using technology to scale. Throughout the conversation, Charest emphasizes that while small businesses often lack marketing expertise, they possess a valuable advantage: real, human relationships that can be strengthened through consistent communication. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Rushion McDonald’s conversation with Dave Charest is to: 1. Educate new and aspiring entrepreneurs Charest breaks down the basics of digital marketing—email, social, SMS—and how to begin building a strong marketing foundation. 2. Highlight the key trends driving the entrepreneurship boom He explains motivations like work–life balance, independence, and financial potential that inspire people to launch businesses. 3. Provide practical, actionable marketing advice Especially around consistency, choosing marketing channels, and building direct customer relationships. 4. Introduce how AI can simplify and amplify marketing Charest showcases tools that help business owners quickly generate content, develop campaigns, and analyze customer behavior. Key Takeaways 1. Direct relationships (email/SMS) outperform social media Email offers ownership, stability, and higher ROI—unlike social platforms that can change algorithms or visibility overnight. Charest stresses that “the money is in the list.” 2. You don’t need huge numbers to be effective Small businesses often see high open and engagement rates because followers know and trust them. 3. Consistency matters more than platform choice Whether you choose Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or email, the biggest driver of marketing success is showing up regularly. 4. Start small—don’t overwhelm yourself One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is trying to do everything at once. Begin with the basics and grow steadily. 5. Community is a crucial marketing asset Local businesses thrive when they maintain strong connections with nearby businesses, customers, and community networks. 6. Entrepreneurs face challenges—but resilience wins Charest notes that small business owners rarely have a “Plan B,” which pushes them to adapt and continue learning. 7. AI is transforming small‑business marketing Constant Contact offers tools to: Generate emails and contentSummarize content for socialBuild full marketing campaignsAnalyze behavior from large email lists to recommend actions Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Here are direct paraphrases and key phrases—not copyrighted material but drawn from the transcript: On email vs. social “There’s a $36 return for every $1 invested in email—but what matters is that you own the relationship.” “If a social platform goes away, so does your following. Email is a direct line.” On audience size “Big numbers aren’t necessary—small lists can see 50% open rates and strong engagement because those people actually care.” On entrepreneurship motivations “People want better work‑life balance, independence, and financial potential.” On mistakes “A big mistake is trying to do too much at once. Start small and stay consistent.” On community “Digital marketing should extend real relationships—not replace them.” On choosing platforms “Where your audience spends time matters, but so does where you can show up consistently.” On AI’s role “AI can generate emails, build campaigns, and analyze audience data—saving you time for what you’d rather be doing.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The interview highlights values such as purpose over profit, taking ownership, perseverance, and maximizing one’s potential. [ PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The purpose of the episode is to: 1.

[ 2. Inspire Listeners Toward Purpose‑Driven Success Encourage viewers to move from “wasted potential” to purposeful, impactful living by believing in themselves and pursuing their gifts. 3. Demonstrate How Jeremy’s Principles Apply Broadly Rushion emphasizes that Jeremy’s business, branding, and mindset strategies apply not just to speakers, but to entrepreneurs, executives, and everyday people. 4. Promote Actionable Personal Growth The interview seeks to motivate listeners to take ownership, adopt non‑negotiable success habits, and maximize opportunities. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Wasted Potential is a Universal Struggle Jeremy defines wasted potential as having greatness inside but failing to believe in it or pursue it. Many people don’t lack talent — they lack belief and action. 2. Purpose Over Profit He warns new speakers not to chase “the bag.”Impact first → income follows. If your heart is for people, success comes naturally. 3. Your Story Is Your Superpower Every struggle someone has overcome is a testimony meant to help others. Keeping quiet keeps your gift hidden. 4. Maximize Every Opportunity Whether you’re speaking, laying concrete, or running a small business, get every drop out of every engagement — testimonials, photos, referrals, and relationship‑building. citeturn1search1 5. Environment and Mindset Matter True growth starts by changing your internal environment.Jeremy’s life changed when teachers chose to see the best in him, showing that belief from others can shift self-belief. 6. Non‑Negotiables Build Discipline Success requires habits you don’t negotiate with: early rising, prayer, meditation, cold plunges, challenging discomfort, and consistent personal development. 7. Extreme Ownership Replaces Excuses Greatness comes from responsibility, not excuses. Jeremy demands accountability from his teams and himself. 8. Brand Is Built on Transparency Jeremy’s brand centers on perseverance, faith, and family—not perfection. He shares both triumphs and private struggles. 9. Giving Back Is Central to His Purpose Next Level Living feeds 1,000 children weekly and sponsors students in South Africa through college. Impact must extend beyond business. NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Purpose & Potential “Don’t come to me for profits. Come to me for purpose. Don’t come to me for income. Come to me for impact.” “It’s only a testimony if you testify.” “Most people don’t believe and they don’t pursue — that’s wasted potential.” On Mindset & Environment “I wasn’t living a life of purpose… I had to stop blaming others and go all in on me.” “Sometimes the shackles we have are in our mind.” On Discipline “Success requires non‑negotiables.” (Waking early, prayer, meditation, discomfort training) “People want comfort — but everything great comes with discomfort.” On Value “If you want to be valuable, you must have value.”“They’re not paying me top dollar because I'm motivational. I solve a problem.” On Legacy & Family “My brand is perseverance and family.”“These things don’t happen to me — they happen for me.” On Accountability “No excuses — take ownership.”“I’ve never met anyone who became great from excuses.” On Giving Back “We’ve been feeding a thousand starving children every week since 2018.”“We put 60 kids through college — and we’re just getting started.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
