Posting more won't get you more clients. (I know, because I have tried it.)

More content, more platforms (hello, Substack? No.), more hours, and more stress.

And even after all the additional effort, the right people still weren't finding me.

What consistently changes my business is getting in the rooms where my ideal clients are already listening.

Thats the whole idea behind She's In Demand: The Summit, a free 5-day online event (Oct 19 to 23) where 30+ women teach how they get the right clients coming to them.

I'll be sharing my secrets for how small brands show up at big events.

It's completely free to register- DM me and I'll send the link.

Where do your best clients come from right now?

Did the time you put in with AI last month lead to a single conversation with someone you want to work with?

I think Ai is so incredible- it can give you a content calendar, an email sequence, a spreadsheet with five tabs, and a list of 17 things you should be doing this week in less than 5 minutes.

It feels like progress, but for a lot of business owners it really isn't resulting in anything tangible.

Take a look at what it means to be efficient vs. effective in this week's Business Untangled (over on LinkedIn).

What makes you stand out from other businesses offering something similar?

I’m not talking about your value proposition or what your product or service does.

I mean the reason someone would choose you over another perfectly good option.

Maybe it is your experience, the way you work, your reputation, your personality, the relationships you have built, or something people only really understand once they have worked with you.

What is it for you?

Last week in the Business Untangled newsletter, I wrote about business moats and what actually makes a company harder to copy.

The more AI makes offers, websites, messaging, and content easier to reproduce, the more important trust becomes.

So, the real question becomes why a customer would choose you.

The human matters- and that is the moat.

If you’re not sure how visible the human side of your business actually is, message me. I’m happy to take a quick look and tell you what I notice.

I'm speaking at Shes In Demand: The Summit. 🎤

It's a free online event (Oct 19 to 23) for women who are exceptional at what they do and tired of chasing every client.

I'm teaching how not so big brands show up to big events.

During my session, you will leave with three things:
⭐️ Why events are one of the best growth opportunities over the next 12 to 18 months. People are craving real, in-person connection, and a room full of real people cuts through in a way that more online content doesn't.

⭐️ How to get visibility and convert at events with your ideal clients, without buying a high-ticket sponsorship. This is the satellite play itself: hosting your own event alongside the big one, where you control the room and the experience.

⭐️ How to attract the right people and make sure follow-up doesn't get skipped. That covers who to invite and what to do after, which is where most event results are won or lost.

I'll be alongside 30+ experts covering messaging, PR, podcasts, SEO, LinkedIn, speaking, paid ads, and the systems that hold up when demand arrives.

Every talk is 20 minutes or less and practical.

My producer and I visited our Edmond studio today.

It has a full three-camera setup, great lighting, and a set that looks fantastic on camera.

This is where we'll host a few episodes of my podcast and the Founder Studio Experience for Oklahoma business owners.

Before anyone steps into the studio, we sit down for a strategy session and get clear on what matters most for people to know about you and your business.

Then you join me in the studio and we have a conversation. There's no script to memorize , I guide the session by asking the right questions and following the interesting threads.

That conversation becomes a library of professional media you can use across your website, sales pages, PR, and social media.

Some of the best business owners I know are great in person, people meet them and get it right away, but very little of that human charisma shows up online.

This studio is where we change that for the Oklahoma-based founders and owners.

I'll be recording a few podcast episodes here over the next few weeks, and we'll start booking Founder Studio days soon after.

If you're an Oklahoma business owner who wants to be more visible without becoming a content creator, send me a message.

One of the biggest mistakes I see businesses make is quitting too soon.

One webinar.
Two podcast episodes.
A week of posting.

Then they decide it “didn’t work” and move on.

Most of the time, they did not need a new strategy, they just need to keep going long enough to learn, improve, and give it a real chance to work.

Not very exciting advice, but still true.

I’m planning the new season of The Amanda Dake Podcast, and for this one I’m bringing it home!

I started this podcast in 2019, and over the years I’ve had the chance to talk with interesting people from around the world about how it started and how it’s going.

Most of those conversations have happened virtually, which has given me the opportunity to talk with people I probably never would have met otherwise.

But for the remainder of 2026, I want to spend some time having those conversations closer to home. I’ll be recording a series of episodes in studios here in Oklahoma, and I’m starting to put together the guest list.

I already have a few people in mind, but I know there are so many people across Oklahoma with interesting stories who aren’t on my radar yet. They don’t have to be the most well-known people in the state, I’m much more interested in a great story and a good conversation.

Who do you think I should have on the show?

If someone comes to mind, even if it’s YOU, comment here or send me a message.

I’m excited for this!

Ask AI who said "the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge." It will tell you Stephen Hawking, with total confidence.

But...he never said it!

A Stanford study published this year in Science found AI affirms what you're already doing 49% more often than an actual human would, even when you're wrong. It doesn't lie to be malicious, it just tells you what sounds right, with total confidence, every single time.

Now think about how many business decisions you've made off advice that sounded exactly that confident.

This week's Business Untangled is up now over on LinkedIn...take a look and let me know what you think! Link is in my bio.
