Kickstart Your Week
Kickstart Your Week is the weekly podcast for small business owners and marketers who want practical momentum, not just motivation.
Hosted by the team at Kickstart Collective, a marketing agency based in Wilmington, NC, this short-form show delivers honest conversations, smart marketing insights, and real-world business strategies to help you move your business forward every single week.
From local SEO and messaging that actually resonates… to consistency over intensity, mindset shifts, and knowing when to pivot, we break down the habits and decisions that help businesses grow sustainably.
Each episode is designed to be actionable, conversational, and easy to implement because building a business doesn’t require hustle culture. It requires clarity, consistency, and the courage to take the next right step.
Whether you’re refining your marketing, resetting your goals, or navigating growth, Kickstart Your Week will help you focus on what matters and build momentum that lasts.
New episodes drop weekly.
Let’s get to work.
