What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

As a business owner who is really into self-development, I love to listen to podcasts. But so many podcasts have the same methods for marketing. This is such a refreshing and new point of view when it comes to growing a business in the world of social media and influencers.

Sammmmm B · Nov 2024

As an artist, small business owner and communications practitioner who grapples with a lot of the issues and concepts that Amelia explores in Off the Grid, I am constantly finding encouragement, support and inspiration in this podcast! It’s a true gem, and a much-needed voice in the world of marketing one’s work!

Double Peace · Sep 2024

Off the Grid is one of my favorite resources for all things business related. I started tuning in for the marketing advice, but over time I’ve learned so much more about navigating life as a small business owner from Amelia and her guests. Thanks y’all!

AngieFitzPhD · Sep 2024

I’m not sure how I found Off The Grid or Amelia’s work but I am so so glad the life led me to her. As someone that is not a super fan of social media her podcast was a fresh breath of air in a sea of marketing strategies and tips that always involved social media. She is a delight to listen to and curates content that leaves me always feeling more motivated and connected to myself and others out there trying to do business differently. Thank you Amilia! Also can say if you love this podcast it’s 100% worth becoming a member of The Clubhouse pod and exploring the Interweb group.
