Marketing Podcast with Nicole Crozier and Kelly Weppler-Hernandez


Everyone is a thought leader today, right? Or at least it seems that is one of the primary aspirations around building a brand – to be seen as a thought leader in your industry.


But as most anyone who is seen as a thought leader will tell you, it's not about appointing yourself as such, it's about doing the things day in and day out that lead people to apply the thought leader tag to someone – again, the key word being doing!


There is a quote attributed to Emerson that I think sums thought leadership up about as succinctly as possible – “What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.”


My guests for this week's episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast are Marketing Consultants, Duct Tape Marketing Certified Consultants and two of the four co-authors of the upcoming book Do Leadership: A Step by Step Guide to Doing Thought Leadership. We discuss how creating unique and relevant content can make you a thought leader, helping you to stand out from your competition.


As founders of their own independent consulting businesses, Nicole Croizier and Kelly Weppler-Hernandez both live and breathe marketing daily.


Questions I ask Nicole and Kelly:



  • Is the thought of “am I going to stand out” nearly impossible today?

  • What are the business tangible benefits of thought leadership?

  • Where do people get 'bogged down' in this process?


What you'll learn if you give a listen:



  • Why thought leadership is important for small business owners.

  • How to leverage evergreen content to make yourself unique and relevant.

  • The three essential steps to building a thought leadership system.
