What does it actually take to show up online in a way that's real — and actually works? In this episode of the Born to Tint Podcast, Ricky Miller sits down with Kate Sybilrud, Creative Director of Create With Kate, a private consultant who helps business owners understand themselves and show up authentically online. This one goes deep.

Ricky and Kate cover the real story behind Green Valley Window Tint's content strategy — from resisting social media to posting 5-7 pieces a day and hitting a 17.3% click-through rate on paid ads. They break down why organic content isn't just "nice to have" — it's what makes your paid ads actually convert.

🎯 They also get into what most business owners get wrong about content — talking AT your audience instead of making them feel seen. Kate shares how she repositions messaging so it resonates at a root level, not just a surface level.
💼 Ricky opens up about the business mechanics behind Green Valley and Tint Lab — closing ratios, subcontracting strategy, building a premium price point, and why a properly priced job gives you the room to pay great installers and still protect your margins.
🙏 And then the conversation gets personal. Ricky shares his faith journey — giving his life to Christ at Kingdom Summit — and gets real about a difficult season that included financial mistakes, family stress, and what it actually felt like to hit rock bottom and rebuild. It's raw, honest, and worth every minute.

🎬 Whether you're a tinter, a trade business owner, or just someone building something real — this episode has something for you.
