Who Is Your Brand Really For? Hank Eder #BB 26-02.


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Hank Eder, on air from January 13th

Do Your Brand and Website Speak To Those You Serve, Or Is It All About You?

These days we hear a lot of talk about authenticity. It’s a cornerstone of trust. Of the big three, “know, like, and trust,” trust is the most important. Without it, the others don’t matter. What about your website? Do you come across authentically, but even more importantly, is it aimed at those you serve, rather than being all about yourself?

Hank Eder began his career as a news reporter, and over nearly five decades gained experience in graphics design, advertising, marketing and public relations. When he approached 40, he wanted to “give back,” and spent 13 years teaching print and broadcast journalism in public schools both in South Florida and North Carolina. When he left the school system, he went back to his roots and started his current “incarnation” in 2011. Having worn all the hats over the years, he now is chief instigator at Hank Eder Branding, Marketing, and Web Design, a “one-stop shop,” specializing in customer-driven branded content writing to demonstrate clearly how you serve your target audience with authenticity.

BB25-49. Carl Richards, Your Podcasting


Building our business show with Sara Troy and her guest Carl Richards, on air from December 9th

My message is simple. Everyone has a voice…though many of us are afraid to use it. For the first 12 years of my life, I wrestled with a debilitating stutter, that silenced me. It was easier to be quieter than speak up. I learned in speech therapy the only person in control of your speech is YOU! Very powerful. I went on to enjoy a 25 year career in radio broadcasting, now a podcast strategist.

As stated above, I started in radio broadcasting. Really I wanted to be an actor…but for every actor who makes it, there are thousands working drive thru asking if you want fries with that. I figured starting in the media would be a good ‘bridge’ to becoming an actor. Loved the radio world so much, didn’t want to leave. Did a lot of community theatre when I wasn’t on air. When my radio career ended during the pandemic, I chose self employment (full-time…already had a part time speaker training gig) to help coaches, consultants and other subject matter experts launch world class podcasts.

BB25-49. Ocean & Deb Drummond Enterprises


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Deb Drummond and Ocean, on air from December 9th

Go behind the scenes of entrepreneurship as Deb and Ocean open up about the realities of building a family business from the ground up — the triumphs, the late-night problem-solving, and the relentless belief that keeps them moving forward. Discover how they’ve learned to balance being partners in life and partners in enterprise, navigating challenges with creativity, communication, and a deep commitment to their shared purpose.

It’s a candid look at what it truly takes to grow a business with the people you love — the harmony, the contradictions, and the beautiful evolution that happens along the way.

We’re always happy to share anything entrepreneurial that might support others on this journey. We’ve just taken stock of the past year — acknowledging the wins, honoring the lessons, and using both to shape our 2026 agenda with clarity and optimism.

So consider this a behind-the-scenes look at what the process really feels like: the pivots, the proud moments, the messy middle, and the growth that comes from staying committed through it all. If our experiences can help someone else navigate their own path with a little more confidence and direction ?, then we’re absolutely here for it.

BB25-46. Matt Rouse – Will AI Take My Job? 


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Matthew M. Rouse, on air from November 18th

When I started doing research for my own company, I found out that AI was going to potentially kill our business if we didn’t make changes soon… very soon! So we pivoted our business (so far so good) but also I found that no one in the business world was seeing what I was seeing, so I wrote the book, Will AI Take My Job?
