You can have a strong brand. You can have great marketing. You can even have people lined up to work with you. But if your customer experience falls flat… none of it sticks.

In this episode of Market Like It’s Hot, we sit down with LaZendra Danforth, owner of Konfetti Carts and Studio D Meetings & Events, to break down what actually separates businesses people forget… from the ones they rave about.

And here’s the kicker: most businesses think they’re doing it right. They’re not.

• Why “being nice” is NOT customer service
• The small mistakes that quietly kill client trust
• How poor communication loses you business (fast)
• The difference between a good experience and an unforgettable one
• How to turn difficult clients into loyal advocates
• Why retention is more valuable than constant lead chasing
• How customer experience becomes your strongest marketing channel
• Simple ways to improve your client experience this week

Your clients won’t remember every detail… but they will remember how you made them feel.

• Service-based business owners
• Agencies and consultants juggling client expectations
• Event planners, creatives, and hospitality pros
• Anyone tired of chasing new clients instead of keeping great ones

Marketing gets people in the door. Customer experience is what keeps them coming back and telling everyone else.

Burnout isn’t just about working too much… it’s about how we’re expected to work.

In this episode of Market Like It’s Hot, we sit down with Ashley Burton-Mims, Founder and CEO of Emerald & Rose Consulting, to unpack what burnout actually looks like for founders, leaders, and mission-driven teams.

With nearly 20 years of Fortune 500 leadership experience and a unique lens as a postpartum doula, Ashley breaks down why burnout isn’t a personal failure… it’s a systemic issue.

We get into:

• Why hustle culture is still harming founders and teams
• The real reason mission-driven leaders burn out faster
• How visibility and marketing expectations contribute to exhaustion
• Practical ways to set boundaries without hurting growth
• What sustainable leadership actually looks like in real life
• How to build a business that supports your life… not replaces it

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still feel depleted, this conversation will shift how you think about success, productivity, and leadership.

Key Takeaway:

You don’t need to work harder. You need systems, boundaries, and support that actually match your capacity.

Who This Episode Is For:

• Founders and business owners feeling burned out
• Nonprofit and mission-driven leaders
• Marketing and operations leaders juggling too much
• Anyone trying to grow without sacrificing their well-being

Final Reminder:

Being good at what you do is not always enough. If your brand presence does not clearly reflect your expertise, people will scroll right past you.

In this episode of Market Like It’s Hot, Yasmine and Izzy sit down with Teah Ojeda, founder of The Scene Creative, to talk about personal branding, brand photography, visibility, and why so many founders think they are showing up more clearly than they actually are.

Teah breaks down the difference between a polished brand and a performative one, why perfect branding is overrated, and how to build a visible presence that actually matches your expertise. She also shares what visual storytelling really does for a business, why brand photography goes far beyond headshots, and what holds entrepreneurs back from being seen.

If your brand feels inconsistent, invisible, or like it is not matching the level of business you know you are capable of, this episode will hit home.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why some founders are less visible than they think
• The gap between being capable and being clearly perceived
• What personal branding actually means
• The biggest misconception people have about authentic visibility
• Why brand photography matters more than ever
• How to show up consistently without burning out
• The power of repurposing content instead of constantly creating from scratch
• One branding decision that can change the trajectory of your business

Burnout isn’t a calendar problem. It’s a system problem, and your body is keeping receipts.

In this episode of Market Like It’s Hot, Yasmine Robles sits down with Elizabeth Wangugi Etienne (aka The Business Witchdoctor), wellness event and retreat planner and the creator of The Nap Concert, a live acoustic jazz experience where you literally take a nap.

We talk about the sneaky signs of burnout in high-performing founders (hint: it’s not just “being tired”), why caffeine and “extra calories” can be red flags, and how leaders can stop treating exhaustion like a badge of honor. Elizabeth breaks down her idea of longevity leadership, thinking in 10-year batches instead of quarter-to-quarter panic, and shares practical, low-cost ways to reduce team burnout without turning into the company therapist.

Then we get into what everyone’s curious about: what actually happens at a Nap Concert. From the healthy, digestion-friendly spread to the sensory cues designed to calm the nervous system, Elizabeth walks through the end-to-end experience, why it works as a new kind of networking, and how organizations can bring the Nap Concert or a full Nap Festival to their teams.

If you’ve been trying to market like it’s hot while your nervous system is waving a white flag, this one’s for you.

Shay Nelson, founder of MSN Law Office, breaks down the contract red flags she sees constantly, why templates and AI can backfire, and what clauses founders misunderstand the most. We talk trademarks (name vs logo), when you actually need an attorney, and how to hire your first employee without accidentally creating a legal mess. Practical, clear, and a little bit spicy.

About Shay Nelson:

Prior to venturing out on their own, Maritza “Shay” Nelson spent 7 years at two of the nation’s largest law firms as an associate in their respective litigation groups.

Clients range from start-ups to growing businesses and non-profits with nearly 100 employees across a wide variety of industries.

Maritza is a proud graduate of Howard University, where they received their Bachelor of Arts in Political Science summa cum laude before going on to The University of Texas School of Law for their Juris Doctorate. In addition to running a thriving law firm, Shay is actively involved with the state and local bar associations.

If you want your accounting business to be memorable and your marketing to actually work, you won’t want to miss this conversation.

Welcome to Market It Like It's Hot, the podcast where marketing strategy sizzles and fluff gets kicked to the curb. Hosts Yasmine Robles and Yasmine Robles from Rebel Marketing tackle the age-old problem of boring branding in industries like accounting, law, and bookkeeping. If you’re tired of seeing the same fonts, stock images, and generic promises (“We’re reliable!”), you’re in the right place.

They break down what branding really means (hint: it’s way more than just a logo) and dig into practical ways to make your firm stand out—whether that’s through your website, social posts, or even your brand’s personality.

With their signature humor (dad jokes included) and a sprinkle of honest real talk, the episode explores how aligning your brand with your values can attract dream clients, repel bad fits, and make your marketing unforgettable.

Plus, there’s talk of tequila, tacos, and why being yourself (tattoos and all) is the best marketing strategy around.

16:41 "Branding Builds Trust and Connection"

19:56 "Stand Out from Competition"

Here are 3 key takeaways:

1. Branding is about perception, not just visuals. The visual identity (logo, colors, fonts) is only about 10% of what makes a brand. How people feel about you, your messaging, tone, and client experience are what truly differentiate you.
2. If you sound like everyone else, you blend in. Ask yourself: if you scrubbed your name and logo off your website and materials, could prospects tell you apart from the competition? If not, you’re invisible!
3. Consistency matters everywhere. Your brand’s personality and tone should show up across your website, social posts, emails, and even your client onboarding materials. Whether you’re quirky, classic rock-loving, tattooed, or just “professional,” let it shine through (with moderation).

Here are 3 takeaways every therapist should know:

Let Google Be Your BFF (but set boundaries): Claim and optimize your Google Business Profile. Make it easy for local clients to find and trust you with accurate location info, services, and a friendly photo or two.

Location, Location, Location! Create landing pages based on the cities or regions you serve. Whether you’re in Columbus or offering telehealth in Cincinnati, speaking directly to local audiences drives the right traffic—without pricey ads.

Quick SEO Wins Matter: Add your city name and specialties throughout your website content. Make sure your address and phone number are visible (ideally in the footer). Bonus tip: Ask happy clients for Google reviews to help boost your credibility.
