Chasing Trends To Stay Relevant
Chasing Trends To Stay Relevant
Thanks to TikTok there is at least one new trend every day and not to mention all these so-called educational channels to get you to jump on these trends so you can make it about your niche or business. As someone who does this for a living, I can tell you it is exhausting. I'm not even talking about the part of making the content, but about the return of investment, you potentially get. 9 out of 10 it is actually nothing valuable to you as a creator or as a business owner.  Today's episode presented by  Stamps.com - get a special offer that includes a 4-week trial PLUS free postage and a digital scale with code: POD Please subscribe and leave a review on audio platforms as well :)  Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2TF3VnS Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2AfNQia Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3pmXw09 Amazon: https://amzn.to/2FKeu5X Follow the podcast: @wildandbasic on IG or "Wild & Basic Podcast" on YouTube

Capitalistic Society
Capitalistic Society
I thought we are going to talk about capitalism in this podcast I just didn't think it would be this soon. Well, I think we all have heard of Squid Game and how this show came to life and showed us what kind of world we live in. Some might disagree, but sadly we are living in this capitalistic society where money is above everything.  Today's episode presented by  Stamps.com - get a special offer that includes a 4-week trial PLUS free postage and a digital scale with code: POD Please subscribe and leave a review on audio platforms as well :)  Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2TF3VnS Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2AfNQia Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3pmXw09 Amazon: https://amzn.to/2FKeu5X Follow the podcast: @wildandbasic on IG or "Wild & Basic Podcast" on YouTube

Anger Is Healthy
Anger Is Healthy
We tend to associate certain feelings like sadness, anxiety, anger as bad versus happiness, joy, love as good. Today we are specifically talking about anger.

However, when we look deep into it, we can see the many causes behind this quite a healthy human emotion of ours.  Today's episode presented by  Stamps.com - get a special offer that includes a 4-week trial PLUS free postage and a digital scale with code: POD Please subscribe and leave a review on audio platforms as well :)  Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2TF3VnS Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2AfNQia Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3pmXw09 Amazon: https://amzn.to/2FKeu5X Follow the podcast: @wildandbasic on IG or "Wild & Basic Podcast" on YouTube

The Dark Side Of Instagram
I just thought it would be only fair to dedicate an entire episode to the platform that started all for me, Instagram. I wish this was just a tribute to Instagram, but it is more of an experiential journey of mine along with some cold harsh facts that no one has told you about.  Today's episode presented by  Stamps.com - get a special offer that includes a 4-week trial PLUS free postage and a digital scale with code: POD Please subscribe and leave a review on audio platforms as well :)  Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2TF3VnS Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2AfNQia Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3pmXw09 Amazon: https://amzn.to/2FKeu5X Follow the podcast: @wildandbasic on IG or "Wild & Basic Podcast" on YouTube

The Feeling Of Not Fitting In
The Feeling Of Not Fitting In
Do you ever feel like you just don't fit in? I feel the same way some days. The truth is we all want to feel understood and seen by other people. When we aren’t, it makes us feel like an outsider as if something is wrong with us. The feeling of not fitting in happens the most when we’re growing which results in outgrowing places, people, and situations...

Patience Really Does Pay Off
Patience Really Does Pay Off
Patience is something that doesn't come easy especially when it comes to certain things in our lives. In today's episode, we are specifically talking about business. A very good example of this is actually the juiciest podcast fall out "Call Her Daddy." Now the only host of the show Alex Cooper made her way to the top with her Spotify deal of 60 million dollars. Let's examine how she actually made that happen, unlike her previous co-host Sofia Franklyn.  Today's episode presented by  Db Journey - Get 10% off your next purchase with the code POD10 or go to https://bit.ly/37cP8YP  Please subscribe and leave a review on audio platforms as well :)  Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2TF3VnS Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2AfNQia Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3pmXw09 Amazon: https://amzn.to/2FKeu5X Follow the podcast: @wildandbasic on IG or "Wild & Basic Podcast" on YouTube

Followers, likes, comments are something we constantly see every day on social media, and believe it or not those numbers affect the way we value things without even realizing it.

Not Caring Is Not Such A Cool Thing
Not Caring Is Not Such A Cool Thing
I feel like we are in this era of desensitization acting like we don't care because we are not required to. Doesn't that sound so wrong? There’s nothing attractive about not caring. I mean yeah, it might help us pretend that our hearts aren't broken when we don’t get what we want, but not caring is not something to be proud of.

Delegate To Get Things Done
Delegate To Get Things Done
We all say that sometimes "ugh I don't have time for this and that" but the truth is we are not prioritizing what is important and what is secondary in order to make time for pretty much everything. This is where the delegation comes in. If you delegate your responsibilities or tasks right, you will have time for the things that you are truly passionate about.

At one point in our career mentorship is something we might think about. It's not because we are helpless or anything, but because sometimes we don't really know what we are doing.

The Problem With Striving For Perfection
The Problem With Striving For Perfection
The way that society portrays perfection or at least striving for perfection makes it seem like it is such a good thing. When you look deeper you realize how messed up and unhealthy this route is. Perfectionism is not the same thing as great results because the reality is most of the time perfectionism is what sets us back from our goals.  Today's episode presented by  OMIO - Get 5% off your travel plans this summer with code LISTENER5 valid until 30th June for new users on all modes of transport.

Myths About Starting & Building A Business
Myths About Starting & Building A Business
Unfortunately having a business is not like a one-time business proposal or project that you could do and hope that the product or the line you created keeps selling and being talked about like it used to. Time's have changed and so have customers' behaviors. Recent examples include Kylie Cosmetics relaunch, KKW Beauty closure, and Instagram CEO's new announcement about the future of the app. Today's episode presented by OMIO - Get 5% off your travel plans this summer with code LISTENER5 valid until 30th June for new users on all modes of transport.
