Secure your Spot For Cre8tive Con Orlando x PodFest x BookThinkers

Content, content, content. Is anyone else exhausted? On this episode of The Creative Entrepreneur Podcast, co-hosts Julie Lokun, JD, and Dominick Domasky take opposite sides of the content debate. Julie believes in the power of content but hates that being an entrepreneur has turned into running a full-time content factory. Dom breathes it, lives it, and probably dreams in algorithms.
The spark? Learning that Gary Vaynerchuk posts roughly 900 pieces of content a day across his businesses. Not nine. Not 90. Nine hundred. Julie and Dom unpack what that means for the average entrepreneur without a camera crew, why “document, don’t create” is the shortcut most people miss, and how to tell the difference between content that builds a business and content that just builds vanity metrics.
Along the way: a motorcycle ride to Wisconsin, kids who demand “take that down, Mom,” the surprising truth about personal posts on LinkedIn, and a landscaping-business story from Dom’s dad that might be the best marketing lesson you hear all year.

FAQs
How much content do entrepreneurs really need to post? Not 900 pieces a day. Julie and Dom agree that consistency and strategy beat volume. Start with what you have, focus on where your audience lives, and repurpose long-form content into shorter pieces instead of creating from scratch every day.
What is the PIES content framework? PIES is Dominick Domasky’s weekly content plan: Promote, Inspire, Engage, and Sometimes Sell. It gives you a simple structure so you never sit down on a Friday wondering what to post.
What does “document, don’t create” mean? Instead of producing a polished show, you share what’s already happening in your business: recording a podcast, mailing books, heading into a client meeting. It’s faster, more authentic, and builds trust.
Should entrepreneurs post personal content? Yes, when it’s on-brand and on the right platform. Personal posts show people you’re real, which builds trust and relationships. Julie has found that personal posts often get more attention on LinkedIn than static business posts. (Just check with your kids first.)
What’s the best content strategy if I only have 30 minutes a day? Plan your week ahead, turn long-form content like podcasts and interviews into short clips and blogs, and reshare posts that got engagement before.
Where can I meet the hosts of The Creative Entrepreneur Podcast in person? Julie Lokun and Dominick Domasky are hosting Cre8tive Con OTR in Orlando on January 14, 2027, alongside PodFest and BookThinkers. They also host the flagship Cre8tive Con conference in Chicago.
