Wine & Whiteboards Podcast

Long time, no travel? Us too! We (used to) travel a lot for work, pre-COVID. And when you travel, you usually come home with plenty of funny traveling stories. So today, we’re reminiscing on the good old days and dedicating this episode to all those who travel for work. To infinity & beyond!

What can you automate at your job? Think about it. There’s more than you realize! Did you write down repurposing content, creating templates, or buying in bulk? Today we’re sharing an entire list of ways marketers and designers can work smarter, not harder by automating their every day (you’re welcome!).

We love traveling for work and as you know, every good trip begins at the airport. Whether you get to the airport early (or late like some of us), we think you can relate to our wild and wacky airport adventures. Join us as we take on the airport, from anxious flyers to TSA tragedies. What’s your airport adventure?

Sometimes the best ideas are like fine wine. They need time to age before they’re ready to drink. Starting a podcast is one of those ideas...we had to let it percolate a little bit before diving in. In today’s episode, we share our podcast journey, the lessons we’ve learned so far, and the steps to start your own podcast (even in the middle of a global pandemic)!  

When you work together for 5+ years, you become family. We love spending time together, in and out of the office (we did start a podcast together after all). So today’s episode is going to share some hilarious stories of us “bonding” as a team. Bottoms up and enjoy! 

Events are stressful. Period. We get it. We’re in the middle of a global pandemic and are no strangers to having to pivot virtually. Hosting virtual events to replace canceled in-person events can come with a lot of chaos and challenges (it’s something entirely new), but it can also lead to some pretty cool and innovative ideas. Organizing an event virtually means everything has to be rethought. Don’t fall victim to trying to recreate the exact same in-person event. Join us as we explore how to get your virtual event off the ground and set it up for success!   

 

We host numerous happy hours throughout the year at tradeshows, conferences, and (now) virtual events. And since happy hours include alcohol, we thought it was the perfect episode to do a little drinking game and chat about the best (and worst) happy hours we remember! So grab a glass and play along with us!

Gifting is something that always sounds fun, and we all like to receive gifts, right? So it must be easy...NOPE. Sure, everyone likes giving something in exchange for putting a smile on someone’s face, however, if this responsibility frequently falls on you, you probably know it isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. It’s a lot harder than it looks! Let’s face it, not everyone is a great gift-giver, and that’s OK because we have some tips and tricks to help even the worst gifters feel as confident as Santa.

Today’s episode looks a little different! It’s a Holiday Edition. And we have our new friends, Michelle and Sandy, from the Wines to Find podcast joining us for what we’re calling Sparkling Wine For Dummies. We’re doing a virtual wine tasting and asking the experts (hint: we’re the dummies) all about sparkling wine. So if you want to learn about wine and have a laugh or two, join us for this fun episode!  

What business etiquette do you wish you learned in college? Probably a little less calculus and a lot more life skills...you know the things that would actually help you in your day-to-day. In this episode, we’re sharing the skills no one told us we’d need for marketing (or any job really)! Like how to manage projects and deadlines, how to give and receive feedback, and more. Let's dive into the real world of business and marketing.
