Content Workflow

I built a teleprompter into Radi8 because of one conversation. A customer told me she can write all day. Put a camera in front of her and it falls apart. She's not alone in that, and I'm not immune to it either. Here's what I think is actually going on. People assume video is a confidence problem. It's usually a script problem. You sit down to record, you know roughly what you want to say, and somewhere in the second sentence you lose the thread. So you start over. Then you start over again. Twenty minutes later you close the app and tell yourself you'll get to it next week. The workflow made it worse. Your post lives in one place, your script in another, the recording on your phone, the file somewhere in between. Four tools to add sixty seconds of video to something you already wrote. So we put it inside the draft. Write your post in Radi8. Click the teleprompter button. It turns your post into a script that fits the length you choose: 30, 60, 90 seconds, or set your own. You record right in the browser. Nothing to install. Save it, attach it to the post, schedule it. Works for LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and X. I recorded videos for every post going out this week. Took about 30 minutes. A body of work is evidence. Your face and your voice on that work is better evidence, because people get to see how you think before they ever talk to you. Demo video in the first comment. For those of you who've been avoiding video: is it the camera, or is it not knowing what to say once it's rolling? …more

I'm putting on a workshop for small business owners on May 28th in San Jose at the MLK Library. It's hosted by the Silicon Valley Small Business Development Center, and the focus is simple: how to use AI and social media without living on it all day. Most small business owners I work with tell me the same thing. They know they need to post. They know they need to stay active. But they hate the time it takes, and they never know what to say. That's the problem I solve. Not with another content calendar template. Not with another AI tool that spits out generic posts. But with one repeatable workflow that takes 15 minutes a day and fits your business. I've launched three startups. One ended in an acquisition. I've spent years building go-to-market strategies and helping founders run their own marketing without burning out. The truth is you don't need a marketing team. You need one habit that works. At this workshop, I'll walk you through the practical workflows and time-saving templates you can start using the next day. No fluff. No theory. Just the systems I use with clients who need to stay visible without adding another full-time job. If you can't make it to San Jose but you want help building your own 15-minute marketing habit, I'm offering free 15–20 minute marketing audits. I'll review what you're doing now, give you one or two quick wins, and build your first week of content with you.

Most founders I talk to say the same thing: "I don't have time for marketing, and I can't afford to hire it out." Natalia Bishop, founder of the WILD Accelerator, told me something that stuck. She said most of the founders she works with have the idea and the drive. What they don't have is a system to stay visible without burning out. That resonated because it's the exact challenge I see with early-stage founders every week. You're building the product, closing deals, managing cash flow — and somehow you're supposed to stay top of mind with prospects and investors too. In our conversation on the Inspiring Founders Podcast, Natalia walked through how WILD supports founders from underrepresented backgrounds with grants, mentorship, and leadership coaching. One of the most valuable things they offer isn't funding. It's helping founders build a repeatable system for showing up consistently, even when resources are tight. You don't need a full marketing team to stay engaged with your audience. You need a workflow that's simple, repeatable, and doesn't eat your week. If you're handling your own marketing and want a system that fits your schedule, book a free 15-minute marketing audit with me. I'll walk you through one or two quick wins and a repeatable content workflow you can run yourself. https://www.radi8.com/free-audit?utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=free_audit&utm_content=podcast-8 P.S.
