It's the end of March, which means it's time for a Monthly wrap-up episode. Having dedicated a whole episode to the biggest movie release in March, and possibly the year, the gang decided to hit you with 2 quick streaming reviews. Disney's Turning Red, and Netflix's The Adam Project. Two very different movie, and two very different scores. Which one should you see, and which one should you avoid? Find out today as only the Where to Stick It crew can tell you.

135 - How do you create a personal connection with potential new clients, when their inboxes are overflowing and they're unlikely to answer the phone? According to Australian photographer and podcast host Andrew Hellmich, the secret to standing out is video.

In this engaging episode, Andrew shares a long list of ideas, resources, and insider tricks for using video to boost your business. And don't worry—his ideas are as simple to execute as they are brilliant. Leave your DSLR on the shelf, and start leveraging the power of quick-and-easy videos to fill your calendar.

What To Listen For:

• The importance of putting a face to your personal brand
• A simple strategy to build relationships with local businesses
• Who you should invite to crash your videos (your viewers will thank you!)
• How to leverage short, simple videos to rank higher in search
• What it means to use a “dog-whistle headline”
• Ways to repurpose your video content for maximum mileage

 After listening to this episode, there's no doubt you'll be convinced of the value of using video. But if you're feeling awkward or unsure about the execution side, you'll want to join Andrew's Daily Vlog Challenge. It's a safe space for getting comfy with video, and you'll be amazed at how much you'll improve in just 21 days!

Happy March, Happy Women's History Month and Happy National Nutrition Month! All of these events collide as we talk about fresh produce and the women who make it accessible  -- first we'll talk about how Native American women are the backbone of American agriculture, then we will talk with Cetta Barnhart of Seed Time Harvest Farms as she educates us on the benefits of supporting local farmers. Seed Time Harvest Farms connects local farmers in the Tallahassee, Florida, area with consumers and provides fresh produce to Tallahassee-area residents.

In our March COVID Update episode, Dr. Pollack joins us to talk about the origins, definitions, and differences of an epidemic, pandemic, and endemic. We also discuss when the COVID pandemic could become endemic, the state of COVID variants, and the potential for more “variants of concern.” We even talk about the unseemly yet important (and interesting!) topic of how wastewater and sewage treatment plants are an essential tool in tracking COVID.

Each month, Dr. Brad Pollock from UC Davis joins us to discuss the latest COVID news and information.
