Gene Baur is the founder of Farm Sanctuary, a place of rescue, refuge, and adoption for hundreds of farm animals each year. Farm Sanctuary shelters enable visitors to connect with farm animals as emotional, intelligent individuals. Gene has also led campaigns to change laws about animal treatment and taken undercover photographs of farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses, documenting deplorable conditions. His pictures and videos exposing factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally, educating millions about the plight of modern farm animals, and his rescue work inspired an international farm sanctuary movement. Once called “the conscience of the food movement” by Time magazine, Gene walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to food and animal rights. Jay and Gene discuss the political and cultural steps that will bring about the end of factory farming and a healthier approach to animals and food.

Episode 49: Before You 'Just Start', Listen to This First 10:16

8 days ago10:16

10:16

We’ve all heard it: Just start. You see it on Instagram quotes, printed on mugs, and dropped into motivational talks like it’s the magic key to success. And sometimes, it is. But other times? It’s a straight shot to burnout, half-finished projects, and a whole lot of frustration. In this episode, I’m sharing: The times “just start” pushed me past fear and into big wins. The times it led me straight into overwhelm and unfinished ideas. My personal checklist for deciding when to go for it and when to put an idea on the “later” list. You’ll learn how to keep the spirit of “just start” while avoiding the chaos it can cause, plus why the middle of a project, though rarely Instagram-worthy, is where the real magic happens. If you’ve ever wondered whether you should jump in or hold back, this one’s for you. Your takeaway this week: Decide if you’re in a starting season or a finishing season, and focus your energy accordingly. #juststart #confessionsfromthehomeofficepodcast #marketingagencygreenville #wendihill #boundaries…

Episode 48: Burned By A Marketing Agency? You're Not Alone! 10:32

10:32

Have you ever paid a marketing agency a lot of money… only to wonder what you actually got in return? You’re not the only one. In this episode of Confessions from the Home Office , I’m talking about what’s really happening behind the scenes when agency support goes sideways. From confusing deliverables to MIA communication, I share why the agency model can feel broken and what marketing support should look like when done right. You’ll learn: The biggest red flags before you sign an agency contract Why you’re not the problem (even if you’re feeling burned out and second-guessing everything) What real marketing support should give you: clarity, traction, and results—not stress Plus, I’ll share how we do things differently at Market Momentum and how we’ve helped business owners rebuild after agency disappointment.

Episode 47: Can’t Decide Between a Blog, Newsletter, or Podcast? Start Here. 15:25

6 weeks ago15:25

15:25

Hi there, it’s Wendi Hill, and if you've ever wondered whether to start a blog, launch a newsletter, or dive into podcasting, you're not alone. I get this question all the time from clients and friends trying to figure out the best way to build visibility and share what they know. In this episode, I discuss the real differences between the three, how they work, what they’re great for, and what it actually takes to keep them going. Newsletters are still one of the highest-ROI marketing tools out there. No algorithm, no dancing, just your message sent directly to your audience. If you're not ready to start one yet, at least start building that email list. Blogs are powerful for SEO and long-term traffic, especially if you're in a niche like law, wellness, or home services. But it’s not instant gratification. You need a plan and patience, one strong blog post a month is better than 20 random updates. Then there’s podcasting. It builds trust fast because people hear your voice and get to know your personality. Yes, there’s a little more production involved, but it doesn’t have to be fancy, I started mine in my home office. I also repurpose each episode into a blog post and LinkedIn newsletter to reach more people with less work. If you're not sure where to start, go with what you’ll actually stick with. Like to write? Go with a blog or newsletter. Like to talk? Try podcasting. Commit to it for 90 days and see what happens. Thanks for joining me in the home office today. If this episode helped, share it with someone who’s stuck. And if you want help figuring out where to start, my contact info is in the show notes. Talk soon, because I always have something to say!

Episode 46: Consistency May Not Be Sexy, But It Works 10:39

7 weeks ago10:39

10:39

This week, I’m talking about something that doesn’t get nearly enough credit in the marketing world: consistency. It’s not flashy. And it's not sexy. Consistency is what actually builds businesses. It’s the behind-the-scenes move that separates the people who slowly build momentum and fill their client rosters, from the ones who keep reinventing the wheel every few weeks. In this episode, I'm talking about why consistency feels so hard, specially when you’re not seeing immediate results, what it actually looks like in a sustainable way, and why doing the same “boring” actions week after week builds the kind of trust that turns followers into clients. I share real stories from clients who struggled with giving up too soon and how a small shift in expectations helped them start seeing traction. This episode also goes over simple strategies to help you show up regularly, without burning out or over-committing. If you’ve ever felt like no one’s paying attention or like your message isn’t landing, this episode is your reminder to stay in the game. Because the truth is: you don’t need to do more. You just need to keep showing up. If this episode gives you the nudge you needed to finally hit publish on that post or send that email, let me know!

My email inbox is a dumpster fire. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by a mountain of unread messages, accidentally ghosted someone, or hit send without the attachment, you’re in good company. In this episode of Confessions from the Home Office , I’m sharing my biggest email confessions, a few embarrassing confessions, and what I’ve learned about managing my inbox along the way. From dreaming about a zero inbox one day to aggressive archiving, I talk through the real-life systems I use now, including email templates, batching responses, and the importance of writing clear subject lines. After listening to this episode, you should feel a little less alone in the inbox overwhelm. If you’re trying to keep your business running from the home office, the kitchen table (or your car), this episode is your permission to stop chasing perfection and start managing email with a little more humor and grace.

In this episode, I'm talking to business owners who prefer to work behind the scenes, those who know they have something valuable to offer but don’t feel the need to constantly be online, posting, or shouting to prove it. I'm sharing how I built a sustainable, successful business over the past 20 years, not by being the loudest in the room, but by being consistent, strategic, and deeply trustworthy. I'm taking the pressure off to “show up” loudly on social media. In this episode, you’ll hear: The reality of online noise and why more isn’t always better How I quietly built a thriving business as a new mom without a brand or following What it looks like to be “confidently quiet” in your business, such as setting boundaries, being intentional, and doing great work Why calm, focused professionals often earn more trust (and more referrals) The long-term benefits of choosing depth over hype If you're tired of chasing trends and just want to do meaningful work in a way that fits you, this episode will feel like a deep breath.

Episode 39: Confessions of a Recovering Course Junkie 6:59

15 weeks ago6:59

6:59

In this episode of Confessions From the Home Office, I share my journey of breaking free from the cycle of following business guru advice! I spent years chasing expert strategies and frameworks that promised quick success, investing in courses and webinars (and new notebooks and pens) that were supposed to be "the one." Despite following guru advice to the letter, I experienced frustration when my carefully executed 2023 launch fell a little short of expectations. This disappointment led to my pivotal realization: I was building someone else's business and padding their bank account, not my own! The episode explores how I learned to trust my own voice, business model, and understanding of my audience instead of mimicking others' formulas. I now carefully vet advice based on alignment with my values and time constraints, finding that my best growth came after I stopped chasing guru advice and started listening to herself. I encourage fellow business owners to take a step back from the constant "shoulds" and reconnect with their own wisdom and experience. Email your thoughts to wendi@wendihill.com .

Episode 38: The Invisible Work of Running a Business 9:48

16 weeks ago9:48

9:48

In this episode of the Confessions in the Home Office Podcast, I'm talking about the often-overlooked aspects of running a business, the invisible work that keeps everything functioning. These are the tasks that are unglamorous but essential administrative duties that rarely receive recognition: managing emails, updating CRMs with new contacts, scheduling social media posts, planning launches, updating websites, handling accounting, setting client boundaries, and filing taxes. These non-billable tasks feel endless but are critical for business survival and growth and talk about a recent conversation with a client who was overwhelmed by project requests and emails, highlighting that even successful business owners struggle with administrative burdens. Addressing the common suggestion to delegate these tasks, I have team members who help with social media, programming, and invoice preparation. I also share a past experience where tasks went uncompleted for months because she trusted too much without verification. I also warn against over-reliance on AI, noting instances where AI tools provided inaccurate information. There are ways to make these tasks easier: building systems, batching content, scheduling emails, setting reminders, using project management software, and dedicating specific calendar time for administrative tasks. I also think mindset is important, accepting that a never-ending to-do list is simply part of business ownership, balanced by the freedom and flexibility entrepreneurship provides. Don't forget, give yourself credit for the unseen work you do! Handling these tasks isn't a sign of failure but rather evidence of building something sustainable!

In this episode of Confessions From the Home Office, I'm talking about the all-too-familiar experience of marketing content brand burnout. As content creation and social media have become essential parts of marketing, many professionals find themselves hitting a wall creatively. I share personal experiences with content burnout, revealing that the average content marketer now creates 3-5 pieces of content per week per client—translating to thousands of pieces yearly for agencies and consultants. The episode breaks down how to recognize true content burnout versus just having a tired day, offering practical strategies to overcome it, including: Taking genuine breaks away from electronics and screens Entering "idea mode" without pressure to create finished content Repurposing existing content through hub-and-spoke models Creating content banks to draw from during creative droughts Working with your natural energy cycles rather than forcing creativity Using AI as a supplementary tool while maintaining brand voice Prioritizing quality over quantity in content production At the end of the episode I have one action I want you to take this week to get you past burnout!

Episode 33: Every 13 Seconds: The Hidden Crisis in Animal Shelters 19:13

19:13

In this special spring break episode, I'm taking a break from my usual marketing and business topics to discuss the critical issue of animal shelter overcrowding/animal homelessness in the United States. According to the Humane Society, every 13 seconds a healthy dog or cat is euthanized in a U.S. shelter Approximately 6.3 million companion animals enter shelters nationwide each year (3.1 million dogs, 3.2 million cats) Around 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized annually (390,000 dogs and 530,000 cats) 4.1 million shelter animals are adopted each year, while 810,000 are returned to their owners Shelters and rescues are experiencing severe overcrowding, especially after the pandemic-related adoption surge I also share a couple of rescue/foster stories my children and I have tackled over the years: Her family's experience adopting Daisy, an older golden retriever scheduled for euthanization Fostering a puppy named Mocha who survived Parvo with emergency medical care Helping transport animals to northern rescues where there are stricter laws and fewer pets available Even if you're not an animal person, there are ways you can help! Foster temporarily : Even a weekend or week-long foster helps create space in shelters Volunteer at shelters : Walk dogs, help with paperwork, or assist with cleaning Donate supplies : Food, towels, newspapers, or items from shelter Amazon wish lists and websites Make financial donations : Most rescues are nonprofits that need funding Help with transport : Drive animals to adoption events or transport routes Share on social media : Spread the word about animals needing homes! Sponsor an animal : Cover medical costs for a specific animal in need Support TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release) programs for community cats Advocate for animal-friendly legislation in your community Offer photography/videography skills to help showcase animals for adoption Links to resources: Greenville County Animal Care (government-funded shelter) https://www.greenvillecounty.org/acs/ Greenville Humane Society (nonprofit shelter) greenvillehumane.com Various local rescue organizations: https://dogsquadsc.org/ https://www.luckypuprescuesc.com/ https://www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org/ https://daybeforetherainbow.com/ https://www.speakforanimals.com/ Note: Additional rescue organizations will be added to these show notes.

Episode 31: Austin Hill Tackles Marketing Tech, AI, and Football 31:46

31:46

In this episode of Confessions from the Home Office, I welcome back a special guest, my son Austin Hill, who helps me with marketing tech work at Market Momentum. Be sure to subscribe, follow, like, share, and comment on the podcast to help it keep gaining traction! Austin answers social media questions from listeners. He discusses the "Resend to Unopened" feature in email marketing platforms like flodesk, recommending it be used sparingly (waiting at least 48 hours) and only for important emails to avoid spam flags. Austin shares that changing the subject line (such as adding "In case you missed it") can help improve open rates. Austin provides tips for keeping email platforms from being shut down, emphasizing the importance of using third-party platforms (not Gmail or Outlook) for mass emails and cleaning email lists by removing unsubscribers and bounced addresses to maintain account health. On the topic of organizing social media assets for clients, Austin discusses scheduling tools like Meta Business Suite, LinkedIn, and Twitter for planning ahead. He highlights how Market Momentum uses Trello to organize content by client and by day, noting that expensive tools aren't necessary - their system runs effectively on about $100 per year. The conversation shifts to AI tools, with Austin sharing his preferences. He likes OpenAI's ChatGPT (currently on model 4.0), noting its scheduling capabilities and Soma extension for generating AI photos and videos. He also mentions Claude for generating show notes and content ideas, and Google's newer Gemini tool (though he finds it has more errors than ChatGPT and Claude). Austin cautions that while AI is helpful for outlining and problem-solving, it requires human oversight as it can produce incorrect information and uses repetitive language patterns. Austin then discusses his senior seminar project in computer information systems, which focuses on using artificial intelligence to identify and classify star types. He explains how he's creating a convolutional neural network that can learn from past data to predict star types, potentially reducing human error and speeding up astronomical classification processes. The final segment takes a turn toward sports, with Austin discussing Clemson football and basketball. He shares insights about the team's defensive adjustments under new coordinator Tom Allen, thoughts on Dabo Swinney's approach to the transfer portal, his preference for home field advantage for higher-seeded playoff teams, and optimism about Clemson basketball's chances to make a deep tournament run, noting their 22-5 record and wins over Kentucky, Duke, and North Carolina.

Episode 30: Justice Served (With a Side of Breakfast): Meet Attorney Laura Hiller 32:12

25 weeks ago32:12

32:12

In this episode of Confessions From the Home Office podcast, I talked with Laura Hiller, a criminal defense attorney, practicing in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Laura shares her fascinating journey from English major at Clemson to criminal defense attorney, which began when she took an inspiring constitutional law class. That class sparked her interest in law school, though she quickly realized corporate law wasn't for her. Instead, she found her calling during a summer externship at the public defender's office, where she discovered her passion for criminal defense work. Laura discusses her unique career path, including an unexpected venture where she and her husband ran a bed and breakfast in Travelers Rest while maintaining their law practice. For one wild year, she juggled making breakfast for up to 52 guests, managing bookings, and handling criminal defense cases - often all in the same day. While she doesn't regret the experience, she's happy to be focused solely on law now. The conversation delves into the realities of criminal defense work, addressing common misconceptions about the profession. Laura emphasizes that criminal defense attorneys aren't about getting guilty people off on technicalities - they're ensuring the government follows constitutional rules and protects citizens' rights. She shares insights about building relationships with prosecutors and law enforcement, noting that it's not always an adversarial relationship. Laura also discusses the evolution of legal practice with technology, from the days of physical law books to the current era of AI and digital research. She offers valuable advice for lawyers wanting to start their own practice, emphasizing the importance of gaining experience at a small firm first and developing business skills that law school doesn't teach. For maintaining work-life balance in a demanding profession, Laura stresses the importance of mental health activities - in her case, yoga plays a crucial role in helping her recharge and better serve her clients. She explains how her firm handles cases with a flat-fee structure rather than billable hours, making legal services more predictable for clients. The episode concludes with Laura's contact information for those needing criminal defense representation in the Myrtle Beach and Georgetown areas, as well as statewide for certain cases. She can be reached at lhiller@grandstrandlaw.com or 843-444-6122.

Episode 29: Cooking Up Security: A Chef's Guide to Medicare & Retirement 16:33

26 weeks ago16:33

16:33

In this episode of Confessions From the Home Office, I interview Wes Wright, whose entrepreneurial journey took him from professional chef to Medicare and retirement planning specialist. After 17 years in the culinary world and running a successful food truck business, Wes found his calling in helping people navigate the complexities of retirement planning and Medicare. His transition was inspired by his mother's challenging experience with healthcare costs, including $300,000 in long-term care expenses. Wes shares how his background as a chef helps him break down complex Medicare information for clients, treating each one like family. He emphasizes starting retirement planning in your mid-50s and explains why Medicare supplement plans often better serve his clients' needs, despite lower commissions. His approach combines the precision of his culinary training with a deep understanding of retirement planning needs. Drawing from his varied entrepreneurial experiences, including a fortunately-timed near-miss with restaurant ownership just before COVID-19, Wes now guides clients through critical planning periods at ages 59½ and 62. He provides in-person consultations to ensure clients fully understand their Medicare options and avoid costly mistakes.

Episode 28: Finding Your Perfect Franchise Match with Doug Stout 13:18

27 weeks ago13:18

13:18

In this episode of Confessions From the Home Office, I'm talking with my friend of over 15 years, Doug Stout. He is based in Greenville, South Carolina, and helps people explore franchise ownership opportunities at no cost to them. He entered the franchise industry after being laid off twice in 18 months at age 35, discovering that franchising extended far beyond just food services. Currently, Doug and his wife own freecoat Nails, an organic nail salon franchise. They operate it semi-absentee, spending about 15 hours per week managing their manager who runs day-to-day operations. The business has grown significantly over two and a half years, now employing 17 people! A common misconception Doug encounters is that franchise owners need expertise in their chosen industry. He emphasizes that franchisors provide comprehensive training and support - citing examples like McDonald's owners rarely being in stores and an investment banker he placed in a windshield repair franchise. The key is being a good business owner and believing in the product/service. The franchise exploration process typically takes 3-4 months, including weekly meetings, franchisor discussions, and funding arrangements. Doug can gauge potential franchisee success by their commitment to following the process, consistent attendance at meetings and completing assignments indicates business owner readiness. Current franchise industry trends show continued strength in home services, while health and wellness sectors are experiencing significant growth. The industry has evolved to include about 6,000 franchisors across 200 different business categories. Doug's key advice for new franchisees: "Breathe." The first 18 months can be anxiety-inducing while learning something completely new. He notes that franchise systems offer strong support networks, with franchisees helping each other succeed unlike traditional corporate environments.

In this episode of Confessions from the Home Office, I'm diving into how firing off bottle rockets is not effective when it comes to marketing! You have or you know someone who has fired off bottle rockets, a haphazard strategy of spending money on marketing activities without a clear plan or measurable goals. This approach typically involves sporadic marketing efforts across various channels without consistent tracking or strategic direction. The episode outlines a comprehensive approach to transforming marketing from chaotic to strategic. Key steps include conducting a thorough audit of current marketing efforts, setting clear goals, understanding the target audience, developing a cohesive marketing strategy aligned with business objectives, and consistently implementing and monitoring marketing activities to optimize the plan. Effective marketing is about building genuine connections, solving customer problems, and creating a compelling story - not just creating temporary excitement. Take a look at your current marketing approach and consider developing a more intentional, data-driven strategy that can generate sustainable growth over time.

38 weeks ago16:46

In this episode of "Confessions from the Home Office," Matt Green, owner of Ledger Medial Accounting, is my guest! Matt transitioned from pursuing music in Nashville to returning home and deciding to pursue accounting in 2012, eventually obtaining his bachelor's degree, MBA and enrolled agents license. After working at a CPA firm for a few years, he launched his own virtual accounting practice in November 2020, Ledger Medial, serving clients across the United States. Matt offers critical advice for business owners, emphasizing three key strategies: 1. Understanding the emotional relationship with cash 2. Recognizing both income and expenses, and 3. Maintaining simple, clear business structures. He recommends entrepreneurs set up an LLC, obtain an EIN, create a separate business bank account, and avoid commingling personal and business funds. When it comes to hiring, Green suggests seeking referrals, checking references, developing clear training processes, and being quick to make personnel changes if someone isn't working out. We also talked about tax preparation.

Episode 18: Married to My Opposite: An Entrepreneur's Tale 29:42

39 weeks ago29:42

29:42

In this episode of "Confessions from the Home Office", I interviewed my husband, Dr. Reggie O'Dell, to talk about the dynamics of our relationship as an entrepreneur and an academic. Reggie shares his story from a decade-long career in music to becoming an optical professional, and ultimately pursuing his lifelong passion for teaching by completing four degrees in just ten years. Now a history professor, Reggie discusses his love for teaching and his aspirations to write books about historical figures like John Brown and family land history at Smokemont. We also discuss our very different professional lives and personalities. While my business involves constant decision-making and client management, Reggie enjoys the structured routine of teaching and the joy of daily classroom interactions. Our differences complement each other – my high-energy approach balanced by Reggie's calm demeanor, my constant conversation starters of "I have an idea" met with his voice of reason. Despite being "opposites" in many ways, we've found it works for us through mutual respect, shared (sometimes dark) humor, and being willing to support each other's individual paths.
