“Success is no accident. It’s hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing.” ~ Pele
Welcome to Episode 100: Celebrating 100 Digital Untangling Episodes
We’ve been talking a lot over the past through years through the hub of our virtual home, The Digital Glue podcast … And today, we’ve reached a major milestone -- its our 100th “untangling” episode today! This is a significant achievement for any podcast, and it's a testament to the hard work and dedication of the show's not only Team VU as the host, but all of you -- our wonderful listeners – for all of the support and engagement.
The Digital Glue podcast became our newest virtual home a few years ago as we wanted to place sole focus on all things digital, from the latest technology trends to the impact of digital on our daily lives. Our show has covered a wide range of topics over the past 100 episodes, including productivity and organization, creativity, working from home, team and network building, building relationships with your clients (and a better one with yourself), social media and AI, and oh so much more.
One of the things that sets our podcast apart from other tech and entrepreneur podcasts is the show's emphasis on storytelling. We believe we have much to share and to toot our horns for a mere moment … a talent for taking complex concepts and breaking them down in a way that is easy to understand and engaging -- all the while keeping our virtual finger on the pulse of the latest trends and developments in the digital world. Whether it's a new social media platform, a cutting-edge application, a real-life story, or sharing some ways to help make your business life better, The Digital Glue podcast always wants to be at the forefront of the conversation.
As we’ve now reached our 100th episode, we felt it was worth reflecting on the impact our show has had on our listeners. For many, we’ve been a source of inspiration and a way to stay informed about the latest advancements in the virtual land in which we work and live – and make dreams come true.
Are you ready?
Pop in your awesome earbuds and let's dive in!

For those who haven't had a chance to tune in to "The Digital Glue Podcast" yet, now is the perfect time to start. With a wealth of knowledge and expertise at our fingertips -- and your disposal -- our team behind the podcast feels well-equipped to help listeners (just like you!) navigate the ever-changing landscape of the digital world.
We believe that entrepreneurship is a challenging and rewarding journey, but it's not for the faint of heart. It requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and courage to step out of your comfort zone and chase your dreams.
Here at Virtually Untangled, we know firsthand the importance of being courageous in business. This journey began on the sidelines oh so many moons ago while I was working full-time, and I faced many obstacles along the way. But I never gave up on my vision of providing top-quality “untangling” services to entrepreneurs and small businesses of all shapes and sizes right across the globe.
Through persistence and determination and building a small but efficient team, I was not only able to turn my dream into reality -- but those of our fellow listeners and tangled clients. And because of my courage at that time -- and all my team and I have endured thus far, Virtually Untangled is a thriving business, and we are proud to have helped so many entrepreneurs achieve their dreams and goals.
We hope these episodes will continue to provide valuable insights and inspiration for entrepreneurs and small business owners. Remember, don't be afraid to step outside of the box and chase your dreams. With courage and determination, anything is possible.
To spin into another topic for a moment while piggybacking off last week’s “Thought Leadership” theme …
We feel that being a thought leader in today's world is more important than ever before. (Hence why I want to talk about this a wee more.) With the rise of social media and the internet, information is more readily available than ever before. This means that people are exposed to a wider range of ideas and perspectives and can connect with others who share their interests and passions a lot easier -- and quicker.
As a thought leader, you have the ability to shape the conversation and influence the way people think about a particular topic. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a business leader, or simply someone with a strong opinion on a particular subject, your voice can have a powerful impact on the world around you.
One of the biggest benefits of being a thought leader is that it can help you to build a strong reputable brand. When you are seen as an expert in your field, people are more likely to look to you for guidance and advice. This can help you to attract more customers, clients, and followers, which can ultimately lead to greater success and growth for your business.
Another benefit of being a thought leader is that it can help you to make a real difference in the world. Whether you are passionate about social issues, environmental causes, or something else entirely (like the buffet of “untangling” we do here), your voice can be used to inspire change and make a positive impact.
However, being a thought leader also means being a role model and a leader, this is where "paying it forward" comes into play. By sharing your knowledge and experience with other entrepreneurs, you can help them to grow and succeed as well. This is the concept of paying it forward, which is all about investing in others to help them achieve their goals. And that’s why we do what we do and why we created The Digital Glue podcast in the first place -- as another avenue to help you and your business flourish and grow.
Paying it forward is not only good for the recipient, but it also benefits you in the long run. By helping others to succeed, you are also building a network of connections and supporters who can also help you to achieve your own goals. This can help to create a more collaborative and supportive community, where everyone is working together to achieve success.
In today's world, it is more important than ever to be a thought leader, and to pay it forward to other entrepreneurs. This is essential for the growth and development of any business, and my team and I truly believe that it is a vital step in building a successful and sustainable future for all.
So, let's all work together and pay it forward, to make our world a better place.
To round things out short and sweet …
To us, this 100th episode of our Digital Glue podcast is a significant milestone, and it's a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone who has helped us make this dream come true -- you know who you are -- and THANK YOU!
It has been a valuable resource for those who want to stay informed about the latest and greatest in this big bad world of business, and it is our hope that it will continue to be a source of inspiration for many.
That being said, and as you may or may not already know, this celebration of these past 100 episodes with you is a temporary good-bye as we’re going to be taking a slow roll and a bit of a pause from this digital glue adventure … We have too many grand ideas that have been whisked to the wayside that we want to bring to the forefront. They’re burning a hole in our #nerd brains, and we want to bring our visions to life and share them with the world. Then once the dust settles from our new creations and offerings, we’ll pop back into this Digital Glue world for some more “untangling”.
And we truly couldn’t think of a better way to hit the “pause” button on our digital home than providing you with these last few episodes on #AllThingsLeadership … whether you’re a solopreneur or developing a growing all-star team, there’s absolutely a “right” and “wrong” way to being a leader, showing great teamwork skills, and collaborating like a boss.
In our digital world where there is always so much noise, it can be tricky to find a place to plant your feet. We are so fortunate to have found our digital stage, our digital home if you will -- and that you joined us for the ride!
And we wanted to use this time, place, and space to take a moment to express our heartfelt thank you to all the folks that followed our journey with us, who work at “untangling” with us, who hire us to make their virtual lives better, and those who are creating their own path. It’s always a great feeling to know you aren’t alone in a world where it often feels that way.
Being an entrepreneur has truly been the single biggest “course” we have ever taken on self-discipline, self-improvement, and self-discovery … but we feel it’s still the very best job in the world as it’s so rewarding.
Through this medium, we’ve enjoyed sharing our wins and our challenges, our hiccups, and our triumphs! We’ve enjoyed sharing our stories, our vulnerabilities, and opening the virtual door leaving room for you to learn more about us as humans …
We had fun and loved creating every single one of these 100 episodes for you over the past few years -- with the hopes of educating and guiding you through the trials and tribulations that we have.
So, THANK YOU for all your virtual love and support.
We look forward to the next 100 episodes after hitting “un-pause” in the near future -- and all the valuable information it will bring to us. We’re ever so happy to have reached this HUGE milestone of 100 “untangling” episodes -- we couldn’t have done it without you! Rest assured we aren’t going anywhere; we’re just virtually shifting gears! So, stay tuned on our website, our socials, and through the Digital Glue Insiders Club email list to see what’s next from Team VU!
And of course … HAPPY “untangling”!
