"Nobody has ever lost business by doing a collaboration." This simple yet powerful statement from Ryanne Day captures the essence of what makes both her STG Eats food influencer account and her real estate business thrive in Southern Utah.

Ryanne talks what it really takes to run a successful social media presence, revealing that her popular food account requires about 40 hours weekly and actually operated at a financial loss last year. Yet she continues because of her passion for connecting people with local restaurants and businesses. While the previous account owner remained anonymous, Ryanne chose to put herself front and center: "I think it's fun when you can relate to people and you see people like people, like people." This authenticity has made her recognizable throughout St. George—she can "barely go into Costco without at least one person stopping me."

The conversation explores how Ryanne balances her dual careers, leveraging relationships built through STG Eats to generate real estate referrals while maintaining appropriate boundaries between her businesses. Her collaborative partnerships with local organizations like 435 Local, Shop the Boulevard, and area wineries exemplify her belief that "a rising tide lifts all boats." We discover Southern Utah's surprising wine trail, where diverse soil conditions create unique growing environments despite the region's large non-drinking population.

For those aspiring to build their own business or social media presence, Ryanne offers valuable wisdom: believe in yourself, commit to continuous learning, and find mentors who've walked your path. The podcast concludes with a powerful reminder that we're all just "one conversation away" from the opportunities we seek—whether asking directly for what we want or connecting with someone who can help make it happen.

Matthew Dickerson spent over two years self-funding and building Tdooz, an app that does something truly revolutionary – it lets you book home services in literal seconds. While many claim to simplify our lives, Tdooz actually delivers by eliminating the exhausting process of finding service providers through a brilliantly simple approach.

The genius of Tdooz lies in what it intentionally doesn't do. Unlike competitors that transfer complexity to users through endless options, Tdooz pre-vets vendors, standardizes pricing, and handles all the complications behind the scenes. Matthew describes it as a "quadruple stuff diet Oreo" – paper-thin interfaces for customers and vendors with all the messy stuff handled in the middle by his team.

Download Tdooz on the App Store or Google Play today and experience the future of home services booking. The simplicity will surprise you – and that's exactly the point.
