Welcome to The Apple Cart; the podcast for creative disruptors, disruptive creators and anyone who wants to do things differently in business. In this episode, your host, Gudrun Lauret, is joined by Fiona Brennan.

She’s a copywriter at heart but is on a mission to save the world (and businesses) from crap content marketing through her work. Fiona works with B2B businesses – usually with around 10-20 employees – to help their marketing team of one reach their goals.

She’s also a professional public speaker and has her first published book coming out soon.

Fiona shares her journey from copywriter to speaker, coach and author and why she was inspired to write her book. She also explains her unique approach to LinkedIn and the unexpected results.

Gudrun asks Fiona to talk about why she focuses on sustainable and ethical businesses, the environmental impact of AI and digital marketing and what we as business owners can do to reduce the damage we're doing to the planet.
