Another amazing day and another amazing guest here on The Business Shift!Meet Gabby Dickert, owner and CEO of Good Commerce Marketing Agency in Vancouver, BC.Gabby built Good Commerce to digitally assist business owners through marketing and advertising strategies in 2017 - but her roots in marketing date back well before she established her company. Gabby’s co-op placement in high school at the local radio station allowed her to connect with listeners one-on-one by applying a similar methodology as today’s online marketing techniques.Through her experience as an e-commerce consultant for some of the most significant and influential brands on Shopify Plus, Gabby learned that the foundational advice she was providing large-scale clients was applicable to smaller businesses - a niche she was interested in working with.Nearly 6 years later, Good Commerce has grown to employ 15+ people and focuses on DTC brands in the health and wellness industry. By providing clients with custom-built websites in Shopify and Wordpress, Gabby and the team proudly provide ongoing strategic marketing advice to help scale each brand they partner with.If you would like to get connect with Gabby, check out the link below:Website: https://goodcommerceagency.com/

Welcome back everybody! I'm so excited because today we have Jaclyn Wagner as our guest for the show today!Jaclyn has done extensive training in relational and family dynamics, while also being trained in behavior analysis and modification. This has led her to working with thousands of families and speaking on platforms about patterns within relationships - where they came from, why they exist and how to shift them. She has done extensive work in 'correcting' child behavior patterns (and their parent's as well) and in psychology and NLP to add to her behavior analysis and modification 'hat'... She has transferred the behaviors, outlook and happiness of children and adults over many years. It's been super fulfilling for her and has led her to a new pivot working with individuals to customize the relationship of their dreams with her method called The Reconnect Method.To connect with Jaclyn, click the link below:Website: www.JaclynWagner.com
