Hi everyone, this is your host, Don, from the ⁠Work From Home Forever⁠ podcast. We are doing a Feed Drop and sharing an episode from our friends at the ⁠Career Yak⁠ podcast hosted by Chris Goodwillie.

Feed Drops are important for a few reasons:

1. Being an indy podcaster is HARD work, people! So if I can share a Career Yak episode with all of you, and you find it interesting, go subscribe and listen to Career Yak’s other episodes.
2. The second reason is I am traveling for work the next few weeks, and for our loyal listeners, I want to make sure you guys get fresh new content.

On this episode of the Career Yak podcast, ⁠Chris has two guests⁠ who made the transition from working for others to starting their own wealth management company. Chris and his guests talk about how their strong faith and beliefs guide their decisions and the paths they choose and paths they avoid throughout their journey.

And join us for new episodes of the Work From Home Forever podcast at the end of the month. We’ve got a conversation with Catherine who is a military spouse which is a new perspective on the show and we also have Brian who founded his CPA firm after a layoff and not wanting to do the corporate grind.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this feed drop from the Career Yak podcast.

S3 E5 Corey Walker: From Marketing Specialist to Instagram for Dummies – Work From Home Forever

In this episode of the Work From Home Forever podcast, we chat with Corey Walker, a social media agency owner and co-author of "Instagram for Dummies" and "Instagram for Business for Dummies." Corey shares her journey from working in a corporate cubicle to running her own successful social media agency from home. The catalyst for her transition was the desire to spend more time with her young daughter, who was in daycare while Corey felt unproductive in her office cubicle. Determined to find a better work-life balance, she began freelancing and eventually established her agency, The Marketing Specialist. Corey highlights the importance of having a dedicated office space at home and setting clear boundaries with clients to maintain a healthy work-life balance. She discusses how the rise of short-form video content has transformed digital marketing, noting the challenges small business owners face in creating engaging videos. Despite the obstacles, she emphasizes the necessity of leveraging platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn to connect with clients and grow their businesses. Corey also touches on the importance of maintaining personal connections and taking breaks to avoid burnout. She shares strategies for managing client expectations and stresses the value of networking and continuous learning to stay ahead in the ever-evolving field of social media marketing. Throughout the interview, Corey provides practical advice for those considering a transition to remote work, whether for a company or as an entrepreneur.
